PAUSE

Darren Douglas Danahy I have a deep suspicion that if I were to go to Bernard Frazer's house, I'd find that we have many of the same records.

Every track on this album sounds as if somebody took my favorite little bits of my favorite songs and re-arranged them into brand new songs somehow.

The additional musicians and vocalists chosen to flesh out these songs bring the album to a place that sates the craving for this music that Church of Trees created in me in the first place.

I can't wait to see what's next.
Favorite track: Big Black Car.

This effed up world's a bitch This lockdown life s so closed in I am so tired of being alone I can't go out, I can't see shit No romantic circumstances So claustrophobic on my own They keep saying Just be patient Mask on and raving Can't take much more before I spit Hear it in their heavy sighs In others' troubled eyes Only touch I feel is on my own It is so constipating My eyes keep dilating No fun even masturbating in the safe zone Wash those hands (Wash those hands! Keep six feet back (6 feet back ooooh) They keep saying (They keep saying) Just be patient (Just be patient) Mask on and raving Can't take much more before I... They keep saying (They keep saying) Just be patient (Just be patient) Mask on and raving Can't take much more before I... Ah, ah, ah Give me my wet dream vaccine! They keep saying (They keep saying) Just be patient (Just be patient) Mask on and raving Can't take much more before I... They keep saying (They keep saying) Just be patient (Just be patient) Mask on and raving Can't take much more before I ... spit

Save Me 03:48
The Sun rests its eyes and goes to sleep outcasts move like zombies flood the bar across the street I won't track the stars above, they won't let go They'll pull me in and drain me of my piteous hope They filled my head with plans and fantasy Then pulled the plug with one good shove they set me out to sea Save me and fill my empty soul rest my weary head, I've lost control Take me from these broken dreams 'Cross the boulevard and whisk me far from this scene Save me and fill my empty soul rest my weary head, I've lost all control Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted Ah ah The wanted ah ah ah ah Save me Save me Oooooooh Save me and fill my empty soul rest my weary head, I've lost control Take me from these broken dreams 'Cross the boulevard and whisk me far from this scene ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh Save me Save me oooooooh ooooooooh

Something 'bout the scent of that woman S'tantalizing me Like a heroin rush, a sign from above A hypnotizing queen She gets my heart to start pumpin' A most beguiling scene A sign of the cross, a spiritual cost Intoxicating dream She gotta powerful love a powerful love She gotta powerful love & I cannot break free You get too close to that woman Her touch will set you free She's a premium buzz, a gift from above A sanctifying scheme I can't stand back, I can't let go I'm on my knees I can't stand up, I'm locked in tow To never be set free It hurts so good, want it so bad Best confess to the best I've ever had It feels so right it can't be wrong Locked into this my whole life long powerful love, powerful love powerful love, powerful love powerful love a powerful love She gotta powerful love & I cannot break free She gotta powerful love a powerful love She gotta powerful love & I cannot break free
