You and I
We have to meet my friend
to burn our lungs
the future diseased
yellowed nails on grey streets again
with taller men, and sharper teeth
In storied worlds you are a thief
but they cannot dictate what I believe
between the brush I can see
but I cannot erase my memories

when you were young you were not wise
heart on a string so you could learn to fly a kite
don't bury me down in your mind
cause I don't wanna be the reason you get high
you're never home
even if you go
back to Tennessee where all your seeds were sown
haunted by screens you think you know
you see your friends but you still spend your life alone
a dirty mirror has taken my place
and every morning it looks the same
you're never home
even if you go
back to Tennessee where all your seeds were sown

Mirror

maybe you feel haunted
every time that you sleep
by the things you have done
by the spirits you keep
maybe your shame is a mirror
one that's facing the sea
leading your ship astray dear
with a light that's blinding
I could still hear you singing
with the sirens of streets
somehow your spirit still lingers
although your body it sleeps
there's a shadow in your lungs
a ghost in your heartbeat
I know your backs getting heavy
I see your anchor broke free
maybe your shame is a mirror
one that's facing the sea
leading your ship astray dear
with a light that's blinding

Dirt in your nails
an blood on your hands
money in your pockets
but your wearing rags
cry me a highway of silver and gold
paint me a mirror of scarlet and rose
don't bring me home
I don't wanna go
there's fire in the hills again, the city is filled with smoke
what makes a mountain act like a man
what makes a city wave a flag but not lend a hand
don't leave a light in the window you might burn your house down
don't leave a light in the window you might burn your house down
cry me a highway of silver and gold
paint me a mirror of scarlet and rose
don't bring me home
I don't wanna go
there's fire in the hills again, the city is filled with smoke
cry me a highway of silver and gold
paint me a mirror of scarlet and rose
don't bring me home

dirty lace in your pickup truck
the silver lining on your pewter cup is getting old
my venom is moving slow
and I could see the holes in your hands
I've got a hammer if you need a friend
and I wish, I wish that I didn't know
and I don't
I will be infused, arnica we picked but never used
double vision in the waiting room
my hands are shaking like they got a use and I miss
when we would take it slow
but I can see the blood on our hands
I've got a needle if you need a friend
and I wish I never called this home
but I'm gone
I will be infused, arnica we picked but never used

Another week in a waiting room
a thousand hours spent lying for you
they tell me harm doesn't have a use
as if you wanted everything
They took your name for their own use
and now I'm haunted by the things they do
I hear the seer sing, I walk them in
I never wanted anything

Time, it does not stray
it does not work for you
it keeps its pace
hear the breeze,
it does not sing
then move along
cause its moving on
And cities change
they do not wait
they are not here for you
they forget your face
and every place gets rearranged
but the streets keep their old names
your city has changed
because cities change

Time Fraud Oakland, California
Time Fraud is the bedroom project of Oakland based Nick Wortham. His work blends droning synthesizers and sampled organs into somber ballads. The result is an oddly organic mix of noise and melody best described by Los Angeles' Underground Tape Review as "synth folk." His first release tackles the loss of friends in the ghost ship fire, the bay area housing crisis and his own bi-racial identity. ... more
