lyrics

My bloodshot eyes.
My blood shotgun red eyes.
I bit my tongue-in-cheek my mouth it bleeds.
And, spits and shouts cutting words from inside of me.

My bloodshot eyes.
My blood shotgun red eyes.
There's a fury in the fever in my head.
Then I leave and then I lose my cape and cover
bloodshot eyes glaze over.

My organs burn with butterflies.
Frighteningly still; unmoving
and weightless outside my window.
I swim in summer hymns
and wake up with the moon as great big white eyes
in lieu of my shotgun eyes.

I swim. Backstroking the moonlight; lightly.
I float on high. Awake. A weight. Oh, wait for me
Until I come down with white eyes.

My organs burn with butterflies.
Frighteningly still; unmoving
and weightless outside my window.
I swim in summer hymns
and wake up with the moon as great big white eyes
in lieu of my shotgun eyes.

Sketches in a Crowded Kitchen is a series of demos written, performed, + recorded by founder, Ryan Smith in his kitchen—a hold over until RtS returns to original form featuring Jonny Byslma and Mike Van Meter.
