Radical Face - Black Eyes (Audio)

===
This song follows William, narrator of “Family Portrait”, as an adult. Drunk and furious with his wife for disappearing in the night with the children, he storms around town in an attempt to find her and “set her straight.” He's become a brooding, mean drunk, much like his father.

To follow William’s line, see: A Pound of Flesh, Always Gold, All is Well (it’s only blood), All is Well (goodbye, goodbye)

This album is something you listen to when all the lights are out and you just want to contemplate about the crazy thing that is life...

[Clonov]

When you last left me my blood was in a jar
And you kept it on your mantelpiece
I couldn’t count on anyone to stand there behind me
And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
While I slept you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me
Then the rain stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning
My heart will be blacker than your eyes when I’m through with you
And I said, this life ain’t no love song while I marched on blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me and the scenery’s turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue
All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same
I won’t show my hands now, I know this ain’t a game
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is…
Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall
You burned me, yeah you’ve burned me, yeah you’ve burned me now one too many times
My thoughts are the cold kind, I’ve got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes
And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I’m through with you

Absolutely amazing. This album's been by my side for the worst time of my life. This song is carrying me. Thank you.

Man, I don’t know if you read your comments...
your music got me through so much shit years ago. As I traveled across the US, from Florida to Washington, across Washington and into Alaska, I listened to your music. In a mood tonight, and wanted to listen to ya once again.

There’s something about your style that echos through the spirit of a nomad, and all I have to say is thankyou. I hope you’re doing well brotha. Jacksonville represent 🤙🏽

this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard. it's amazing how you can delve into all of these characters and treat them with such empathy and deep understandings. it shows how everyone has a reason, and no one is a good or bad person - they just do good or bad things. i'm so blessed to have found your music.

Fantastic song. They all hit in a different way, and it just works.

And I said, this life ain't no love song while I marched on blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me and the scenery's turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue

All of the roads are one now, each choice is the same
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is the same
I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is...
Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall

ESSA MÚSICA É INCRIVEL

This song makes me wish Ben Cooper would attempt a metal song, I bet it'd be amazing.

Wait... only four comments? Even worse, only 60k views???

Something I've wanted to know is whether the song is from the perspective of an abuser or the abusee getting revenge. Or does it keep changing perspectives
