Come Into Gone

Heart Attack 04:14
I said that I don’t mind If you want to look inside She laid her cards out, she read tarot It showed a bow & arrow I looked into the sky I saw the sun and moon collide My heart was beating like a drum I expected the worst But it didn’t come Oh that golden hymn Kept me up into the morning I felt my way in From the darkest night, I stepped into the light Oh that golden hymn We let it go; but I know It’s coming back again The world inside of a cup She threw me in and said good luck A thousand days passed between us Now I walk with Venus Into the coral sea All wrapped up in golden strings She only smiled when I asked her “Why would you want to call Anyone master?” Down the road in time Between the weeping willows I’ll rope the diamond mine And cut into the night, to see you in the light Oh that golden hymn I had to know, I couldn’t let go Or force it on your side Oh that golden hymn Kept me up past the dawning I felt my way in From the darkest night to see you in the light Oh that golden hymn We let it go; but I know It’s coming back again

Sail 03:32
Hey, it’s not ready Put it down a while Come on keep steady Walk another mile I was just a child Going down the aisle And she was changing styles In her sleep Toss and turn, the engine burns But I can feel the fade Still I hear that robin sing Cuz I dream in time to memory Crows all around me Gather at my door The desert beside me Dreaming of the shore But I can feel you more Than I did before But we were so unsure Of the spring Toss and turn, the engine it burns But I can feel the fade Still I hear that robin sing Cuz I dream in time to memory My father is in the ground On the edge of town And the train is coming round the bend Toss and turn, the engine burns But I can feel the fade Spring will return on robins’ wings And I dream in time to memory

I was born into the greed I learned to cope With the cut-throats Who turned their backs on me But when you lied It all caved in How could I know that you roll Just like them I had to fight My way out The sun explodes Against the dawn I’m wide awake, but I’m blinded Like I’ve come into gone (Simulacrum Simulacrum shock!)

Tug of War 03:41
I tipped my hat to the Absolute And dusted off my dusty suit I wrestled an angel in the sand I dreamed I saw the promised land And that I stepped into it through an open door Tug of War I let God in and I kicked him out Yes I had faith enough to doubt Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom go Broken armies all in a row I close my eyes to see Him but I don’t see anything I hear the war I got tripped up in the tug of war Between the ocean line and the shore Didn’t wanna fight, but here I am Held on a little too tight 
 Pulled me into the blinding light Now I’ll never find my way back home I came to tell the boys and girls Who cut their teeth on the invisible world Remember what you forget Don't stare too long at the sun or death You know there’s no returning through that open door Tug of war

Rumours in my backyard Banners in the eastern skies The front line is dying, only to surrender And I’ve got the information blues Got a lot to lose There are so many miles between us now But I know what you do Cuz everyone is in advertisement baby And I’ve got the information blues I can see that you’ve got ‘em too Language talks the talk Bodies line the blocks To the defunct railway station standing vacant in the sun While the wedding bells are rung My thoughts are raw and incomplete The dawn is pale blue If only I could get to sleep, darling But I’ve got the information blues And I’m so tired too The foxy jocks will lead us To the billion dollar bash They fill you with their liquor And then send you out the back With nowhere to crash Terry, I don’t wanna be Reminded of my mind Just a few days shy of thirty three And I’ve got the information blues Don’t say I haven’t paid my dues The years are a broken record I am the needle on the groove So don’t ya shoot the messenger I only trace the lines I didn’t write the tune

Two Brothers 03:17
It’s been so long my brother I miss you on a day like this It’s early yet, but the sun is set And I’m watching the snowfall from my bed Oh, we are far from home But I’m still trying to reach it Do you ever think of Ohio That other house that you had? Your room over there, was it like the one we shared Did you call our mother’s friend your dad? Oh, we are far from home But I’m still trying to reach it Brother, I had worry I guess that you had it worse The world split in two, one for me and one for you What’s done is done but not forgiven Oh, we are far from home But I’m still trying to reach you I hear that you’re living in your garden Yes, I hear that you’re doing better The folks say that you’re good, and I’ll take them by their word Until I get your next letter

Loose Ends 04:29
Power is found wanting Underneath the strain Of this morning You tied me to a string With half of everything We were owning Sorrow melts the ice that’s covering your heart Sorrow breaks the spell of indignation You took me through the hall of saints Who never left a trace Where they wandered It ended at the stake But I never could relate To any martyr Sorrow melts the ice that’s covering your heart Sorrow breaks the spell of indignation When the comfort starts to itch You know that it’s time to ditch This apartment Still I seek you in the subway script I see you in my cryptic trips Through the city at night Sorrow melts the ice wrapped tight to your heart Sorrow breaks the spell of indignation

about

Daniel Isaiah Montreal, Québec

With every album I try to give myself some new challenge. For Only One Left, I learned how to produce my own recordings at home. For my upcoming LP I learned to play piano, and wrote all of the songs on that instrument. I work hard on the lyrics. I try to boil my ideas down into plain and simple language. The simpler the better. ... more
