lyrics

I DO

When you’re alone do you plan to do drugs? I do.
When you get high, does your heart ever race with fear
Nobody’s near

When you go home back to where it all began
do the losses add up
When your shown love does your hair stand up
you give yourself raw
At the bottom of the glass, does your tongue outlast your brain
turns you blue

When you’re in your walls do the knives shine bright
longing for flesh
Because you feel the guilt, for the thanks you cannot repay
Anything, everything
Only to later have the audacity to flirt with the mirror
I’m not proud, but I do

So confiding in my instruments
The harmonic bubble bounces back
The din of the day
Lacking sounds this sea of music
My walking dead’s no disguise
like folks suffocating their passions
you can see it in their eyes

When you’re alone do you plan to do drugs? I do.

When you lay down at night do you dream tears for your father
yearning for more
When you wake up do you kill all your time on us? Cuz I do, I do
When you drive away, can you feel all the weight come down
Cuz I do

So confiding in my instruments
The major safe bubble bounces back
The din of the day
Lacking sounds this sea of music
my walking dead’s no disguise
Like folks suffocating their passions
you can see it in their eyes.

Look in their eyes do you plan to do drugs? I do, I do
When you get high, does the world get dark and real,
wondering who’s next

Benyaro Jackson, Wyoming

From the dank depths of the Brooklyn subways to the spiritually orgasmic heights of Jackson Hole WY, Ben Musser's indie roots project BENYARO carves a unique path w 1 rule: make great art. Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more
