stealing bottles from abandoned hospitals
making out on top of landfills
lifetime of cures momentary ills
we are spaces yawning in on ourselves
children of longing wandering thru these hills
on sobby crutches that our fathers built
Droopy shoulders stoop like a willow
weepy whippoorwills asleep on my pillow
lying right next to you
Aprils Fool
we heard the birds
they wrote the songs and we wrote the words
each rose so certain of their worth
like they were the only ones on earth
u told me that a blind bee stung u in ur dream
then u asked me what could that mean
on the first night u slept next to me
but that was it
a voice came blaring from a crown vic
we felt the backseats black plastic
we were 2 shrinking violets
if the rain doesn't drown them
and the sun doesn't starve them
Aprils Fools may flower
into a garden

Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
Though seven years have passed since their last release, the band’s hooky, slightly shoegazey sound remains intact with hints of gothic gloom and ramshackle synth-pop. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 7, 2020
