about
In loving memory of Brendan Browning Lafferty.
lyrics
Sleepers lie at the bottom of Lewis Lake
They long to be missed
Memories hide at the bottom of their guts
They spill out through lips
They twist and burn, they bleed and they glide
Through the secondary hours, through Montana mist
The drifters wake under carnival lights
Each and every story is bound by a kiss
And brother, down the trails
I scattered my cares and some Fool's Gold
Somewhere between the East and West I started growin' old
Yeah, I started growing old
The creeps left town with the morning light
Now the mothers, sisters, and cousins, they'll make it all right
It's an old, lonely scene
Where nightmares chase down daydreams and eat them alive
Somewhere beyond the pain
Cactus ribs reach out toward the angel flames
Yeah, and damned be the past
Bear down, take hold, and fill the frames with new glass
And brother, down in the well
Throw your cares, and throw 'em your gold
And there's one last thing, kid, before you leave
Take your dreams back and throw 'em in the sea
Yeah, for yourself and nobody else

"Dirt roads and low-flying crows come to mind when the first gritty chords of a Cardillo song come on. There is something sentimental shaking in a cage at the forefront of the music, but it's certainly screaming to get out."
