Distant Lukewarm Ocean

I saw a pattern that filled up the sky
One night as I drove in my car
On the edge of a town
Toward the glow of a town down the road from your town
Ash is just ash
Dust is just dust
Once is enough
Outside my window at nght
All the ways stretch away
Until they melt in the sky
And the stars buzz like it's their final day
But I know they're taking their time
Exaggeration is all that you have said
It's all inside your head
Your mind is a distant lukewarm ocean
Stop what you're doing and do nothing instead

Free Thinker

I am a free thinker
I've seen your stars at night
Shadows on the wall
Projections, a holographic life
I am a free thinker
None of this is here
I'm clear
I've been leaving little baubles back behind
To find my way to the door
Touching textures on the plaster
Put my cheek to the cool wooden floor
But there's more there's more
It's all beyond my senses
I've been getting to the point
Where I don't even breathe anymore
Inapproprioception
My feet feel like they are under the floor
And there's more there's more
But I'm so anatomic
I am a free thinker
I am my perception
A holograph
A shadow on the wall

Temple of Doom
04:06
|
|||
|
Stolen stones
And all these children missing for so long
The palace glows
There's rumors of black magic down below
Your body is a temple of doom
They all say
This insult is a reason not to stay
But cut the scaly skin away
And tiny snakes will wriggle out and curl around your plate
Reach into my beating chest bare-handed
Put me and my cage into the fire
Touch me with your torch to snap me out of it
I apologize

Touchable

Wasted all your colors
On things you'll never see
You touched a fire
But you won't touch me
Buzzing like an airplane
With the pilot trapped inside
You're so full of hope
But you don't know why
It's better not to try
I am free in spite of me
I took all these photographs
And placed them side by side
In a chronograph
That measured time
Your wasted time
Buzzing like a motorcade
For a body double stunt
The foolish may follow
But I'll come out in front
Boredom of the hunt
I am free in spite of me

I Want It All

|
I want it all
Want it all again
But this time
I know what I'm doing

Zam Portland, Oregon
Zam is Jonathan Newsome's one-man bedroom band. The music is a blend of real and synthesized instruments, alongside samples from old records and from friends, all strung together and processed by aleatoric methods. The lyrics are a stream-of-consciousness mishmash guided by chance and free-form decision making. The result is a spacey dream into which I ask you to insert your own meaning. ... more
