So you say you always liked the rain and Sit alone, gazing through the green, Watching its light stained Never thought someone so far away was Looking too, staring back at you, Thinking the same thing Rainy day Keep her sane and Wash away most everything From that window pane It's just what I want to feel All that you think is real Just what we need to heal Stranger things have happened here before, I wouldn't mind to see them happen again - If this storm could stay I wouldn't do those things I used to do - Well, only if you didn't want me to. What was it that you'd say? You'd rather be anyone and anywhere else cause Then you'd know how home could be... Just round that corner one more time It's just what you'd want to feel All that you think is real And just what you need to heal I promise you.

The Him 04:51
Some days you waste your life away These times I find no words to say A crime I once committed failed me Too much of heaven's eyes I saw through Only when meanings have no reason They're taken beyond your sense of right And wrong Small boy kneels humble in a great hall He pays penance to the air above him White circles, black lines surround me Reborn, so plain my eyes see This is the reason that I came here To be so near to such a person I'm so tired, I'm so tired

Boy King Islands was a duo comprised of long time collaborators Zachary Mastoon (aka Caural) and Jason Hunt. While their signature sound grew to encompass more psychedelic influences and diverse orchestration over the years, they remained true to their experimental aesthetic, carving out a unique and noisy niche in the ever-evolving non-genre of "rock music". ... more
