Freddy Ruppert - An Intolerable Reign

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 07:54:53 -0500

A new solo endeavor

An Intolerable Reign by Freddy Ruppert

“what’s your bluest memory?
this is me at 19
searching for a landmark
edging beyond the waves
this is me at 25
sucking down a landmark
mother
mother, lead heavy
i let your deaths define me
the state i’m always in
mother
mother, lead heavy
i’m always running circles
around the things i cast off
what’s your greyest memory?
breaking with one too many
not to bad at tying one on
you can never calm down
this is me at 14
just barely breathing
i look too damn nervous
never ever shining
nothing shuts me up
mother
mother, lead heavy
i let your deaths define me
the state i’m always in
mother
mother, lead heavy
i’m always running circles
around the things i cast off
mother
mother, lead heavy
i’m still always here
the same place i’m always going
mother
mother, lead heavy
i built this entire reign
the state i’m always in.”

Glass House featuring Carla Bozulich by Former Ghosts

Glass House featuring Carla Bozulich

“oh,

Glass House
forgive me, forgive me
I’m horrible… at saying what I don’t mean
born under the bull, you know?
excuses, excuses
my hand is good this time
but my mouth is an idiot
oh,
Glass House
forgive me, forgive me
i’m the best… at raising a goliath
born under the bull, you know?
excuses, excuses
i am the greatest… heavy drinker
the king!
the king of drunk drivers!
oh,
Glass House
i know….. true love only comes and goes just once.”

90245 (ft. Annie Lewandowski) by Former Ghosts

90245 featuring Annie Lewandowski

““Hey we used to be kings, remember?

Hey we used to be kings
Stumbling blindly under street lamps
Laughing to the worst inside jokes
Sour faces sipping on the cheap stuff
But people drift apart, you know?
People get older, I’m getting older
Just a shadow of my former self
Just dragging my knuckles
But I’m learning to drink alone.
I’m learning to drink alone.
I could even fail miserably
This box that I built for myself
But maybe, but maybe a slide into mediocrity
Maybe that pace would work for me
But hey, I’ll save it
But hey, I’ll save it for-
When we are both in the same town
Playing catch up under street lamps
We used to be the shining stars
We used to be the shining stars of our resting parents
Of our resting parents.”

“Hey we used to be kings, remember?

Hey we used to be kings….

Stumbling blindly under street lamps

Laughing to the worst inside jokes.

Sour faces sipping on the cheap stuff

but people drift apart, you know?

People get older.

I’m getting older.

Just a shadow of my former self.

Just dragging my knuckles.

But I’m learning to drink alone.

I’m learning to drink alone.

I could even fail miserably

This box that I built for myself-

but maybe -

But Maybe a slide into mediocrity,

maybe that pace would work for me.

But hey, I’ll save it-

But hey, I’ll save it for…..

When we are both in the same town

playing catch up under street lamps

we used to be the shining stars

of our resting parents

of our resting parents.”
