Black Salt

A lifetime of work becomes your life’s work
A century of sentries and left in the lurch
Sunshine is the best disinfectant
They keep you in the dark, nice and infected
Piecemeal for impending famine
A reliquary for perpetual damage
Blown reek, brass tacks
Tendrils solder around the nape of your neck
Black salt, fanglets
A gold watch in exchange for your quivering flesh
Mercurial twists of temperament
Force majeure took my last red cent
Alms-giving for a real well wisher
Solvent for an angry bed pisser
Blown reek, brass tacks, black salt, fanglets
Rich girls, fine wine
I’ve lost my sense, I’ve lost control
I think I’ve lost my mind
Blown reek, brass tacks, black salt, fanglets

God Says No

Little pistils with terrific tension
Tiger jaws hang in perfect suspension
Rammed earth with loving intent
Thank God for this dirty equipment
A royal highness and a mother of thousands
A desert spoon to feed the badlands
Eagle claws land on golden barrels
Black fingers firmly grasp the cold spells
Queen of the night or a horse crippler
Are you a spiller or a filler?
Sun, I’m a thriller
Stemmed from deep-rooted issues
Grand gestures and a flaming iris
Hypnotizing careen of the crop
I told my family but I just can’t stop
Young man, you are out of your depth
Cut and thrust the wheat from the chaff
Unbathed in the afterglow
It’s time to rise but God says no
Lay it down on a substrate
Kiss me over the garden gate, because
Sun, I’m a thriller
Queen of the night or a horse crippler
Are you a spiller? You’re a filler
You’re tall, you won’t fall
So let’s sprawl
Sun, I’m a thriller

My Opinion Is, I Hate It

Was John a loving father?
Maybe you should ask his daughters
Was Hank a faithful man?
To his wife or the boys in the band
Joseph was a contradiction
Stepped into age old friction
Ian sought unknown pleasures
Closer to a desperate tether
Have you ever shot a charging lion?
Stuck around or been relied upon
Ernest only half the time
Golden threads to calm his mind
In between a living hell
Not loved or loving well
Was Charles a vicious lush?
As lost as a bottle in the brush
Sam had a ghastly plan
Least Loretta got to stomp a man
Have you ever shot a charging lion?
Stuck around or been relied upon
Both measures are equally weighted
Only one is celebrated
Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history
How can you justify when someone’s left behind
Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history
My opinion is, I hate it
Have you ever shot a charging lion?
Stuck around or been relied upon
Both measures are equally weighted
Only one is celebrated
When it’s time to face the music
Will you just up and lose it
How can you justify when someone's left behind
Solitary trajectory in pursuit of history

Western Addiction Oakland, California
Since forming in 2003, WA has defied easy categorization, and new album Frail Bray finds them slipping further beyond the confines of hardcore. Listen closely and hope sneaks in, but the point of view isn’t the only thing that’s different. WA's attack has grown more nuanced, the band crafting songs that comfortably draw from a wide swath of rock ’n’ roll while retaining punk’s ferocity. ... more
