Faded Men 03:36
You told me one day I never believed you anyway So many things out of place Like you forgot where you came from I must not sound sincere Or else you'd still be here I know sometimes I disappear I know I'm not father of the year Calm Down Now Old clothes in the wash Do you think I'm acting posh You act like I don't exist When I was the one who brought you into this The pins on my map remind me Of all the places I've never been While you stand beside me Holdin on to my hand Calm Down Now An old book by faded men That's what it takes to earn your hand I don't think I'm impressed When you disregard the rest...

The day I was born is the youngest I'll ever be All the friends I've ever made will never be as close as my enemies No I can't go on pretending that I don't see what is wrong One day the universe will cease to exist When I close my eyes for the last time, this is it No I can't go on pretending I'll be missed when I am gone I guess I'll never know why you won't let me go Wake up in a cold sweat goin nowhere Wondering if the next 40 years will be spent in despair No I can't go on pretendin that I love me all along I guess I'll never know why you won't let me go No I can't go on singing my swan song...

Black Coffee 05:13
Inside your head I walk along with you in the dark On every word I hung, just like your little dog would Surrounded on all sides, and I'm still fuckin lonely It's not when I go but how be it painless or long and drawn out And whether you think you can make it stop it'll be there till the day you drop Staring at the clock, nowhere to be I'm just looking Can I go to bed? This day is done when I say so I like my coffee black, late at night so I can't sleep It's not when I go but how be it painless or long and drawn out And whether you think you can make it stop it'll be there till the day you drop I like my coffee black, late at night so I can't sleep

Ennui 06:04
No more summer nights no more long days (you were wrong you were so wrong) No more love both ways no more heartfelt gaze No more coming late no more long embrace They grow up so fast Sittin on my porch smokin cigarettes Sittin on my floor wanting something more You came and went, that's not what I meant It means nothing now, all that time we spent They grow up so fast I don't know bout you but I can't handle change I don't know bout you but I want things to stay the same They grow up so fast, Gotta let go of the past...
5.
Candle half as long burns twice as bright At least that's what they told me while I'm here losing my light It's sad she doesn't have long past today Will she love me tomorrow? Who's to say Do humans dream of electric sheep I guess I'd know if I ever got to sleep When I said goodbye you stayed the same When I said, "it's time to die," I wanted you to change Look me in the eyes, tell me you've been around See through my disguise, tell me it's over now Do humans dream of electric sheep I guess I'd know if I ever got to sleep...

Disappearing 08:10
One step closer to the end of the line You can have forgiveness just don't go stealing mine One step closer to the day we die Yes I'd love you if we could go back in time And yes I feel lonely too Not as much as you want me to I know why you don't come around Cause you're trying to keep me down I don't know how to tell you to leave So I guess I'll accept your company Heavy hand just let me down I'll just let it die on its own And yes I feel lonely too Not as much as you want me to You know why I don't come around? I'm waiting till I don't hear sound I DON'T WANT TO DIE WASTING ALL MY LIFE STARING AT THE STARS WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE...

I don't think I wanna go alone...
8.
Wash my hands, I want the water to set me free Nights alone, the empty bed I can never relieve At least I can admit when I miss you and I feel like shit And as far as I can tell, you don't want to give me hell But as far as I can see, you don't want to be with me Do you long for me? I feel lost in an endless sea of uncertainty Lost not found, I've been hit hard, and laid out on the ground When you said you loved me, did you know it was temporary? And as far as I can tell, this won't end well...

We walked for so many nights without a love without a light We saw so many different things we thought we could turn into a being It got so dark inside my eyes, I saw the God of my demise And I'm singing now But I was not singing then cause I thought that was the end She was only six when they let her fall. If I've got my bible I've got it all They threw her body on the fire, they labelled me a dirty liar She sang until her voice was soar, my body ached, I wanted more And I'm singing now But I was not singing then cause I thought that was the end I begged for mercy from above, it came in the form of twenty pounds from my love I walked along an english path, with tears in my eyes all the way back And I'm singing now But I was not singing then, cause all my friends are dead...
10.
Ever since you left I no longer love you If I keep telling myself that maybe it'll come true I fall in love everyday with someone new everyday No one seems to mind I think I'm okay If I never held you near I wouldn't feel this way But it's better to have loved and lost than to have thrown it all away And I suppose it no longer has any meaning And I suppose that you think you're better than me And I suppose it's just the reflection you want me to see And I suppose, deep down everyone's really just as miserable as me Stick your hand in the paint, leave a mark String me along, drag me through the dark I can't believe you let me go It's one thing to hurt it's another to let it show You say no, I say yes You lie to yourself like you lie to the rest And I suppose it no longer has any meaning And I suppose that you think you're better than me And I suppose it's just the reflection you want me to see And I suppose, deep down everyone's really just as miserable as me...
11.
Wedding dress on, linen basket on the lawn Words you never thought you'd say have found there way out today Nine times out of ten, you've got it wrong Nine times out of ten, you're so far gone Hold my head in my hands You were never part of my plans Feel the earth shake, feel my words quake Your eyes are so grey in the dark, you're all bite no bark Never seems to end, I'm just so good at pretend No I don't want to be your friend, what can't I comprehend The words don't come to me like they used to in my head I think those days are through I think they're cold and dead Push my temples back in place where they belong I've seen so many things go so right and go so wrong Maybe I'm here to clear your mind Or maybe not, maybe you'll end up just fine Dear Esmé, you've got it wrong Dear Esmé, you're so far gone Come and sit down next to me And pour yourself some tea...

Fever Dreams 03:25
I walked in to tour the town You build up walls I tear them down Open your mouth I don't hear a sound I don't like to condescend But I will if it gets me friends Who knows when the fun will end I don't like to comprehend All the words I said back then I was wrong I contend Let it all fall from my hands I've tried and I'll do what I can But I won't fall into that trap again Pawn takes pawn, en passant Sisyphus climbs, on and on Pushing his fate to right his wrongs Fever dreams hit me hard To be fair, I don't have the heart It's been racing from the start One day I hope to die But till then I'll have to try Waiting out the rest of my life Let it all fall from my hands I've tried and I'll do what I can But I won't fall into that trap again...
13.
Waste not want, I was never one to flaunt But now you're there and I'm still here A call to arms, bring them slow and cause them harm Just like I would do for you I'm not alone, I've got plenty of mirrors to fill my home That I can turn to when I feel prone I'm stuck in the middle So insignificant and little The smell of fall on your clothes, feel I'm far from growing old, But maybe I'm already there Watch the door, hope it gets a little closer than before Cause I think I'm seeing double I'm losing time, close my door and shut my blinds Swallow my pride, and step in line I'm stuck in the middle So insignificant and little When you realize, I was the one who kept you dry When you realize, I wiped the tears from your eyes When you realize, I'm sat here patiently waiting to die When you realize, There's no more time to say goodbye so goodbye...

about

After the hour long lament that is, "As the Dark Earth Spins," Harcus Marrison & The Whippit's follow up album, "Fever Dreams," moves away from a lot of the ideas and motifs that appeared on their debut. Instead of focusing on the idea of some unrequited, procreational love, "Fever Dreams" looks more toward the love of family, finding fulfillment, and the embrace of death, however morbid that may sound. Each song, though some more than others, gives the inkling of a finite existence and the fleeting qualities of life. Though this may come across as melodramatic or dreary, the tone is not one of dismay, but of acceptance. The ability to say goodbye should not be taken for granted.
