about

A murderous tale, driven by insanity, on the heels of religious trauma.

lyrics

He came around no warning
Brought the devil to the house of the Lord yeah
Now he’s waking up each morning
To the sound of a tell-tale
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

Cold confidence black powder
Funny how a madman can think himself wise
But the dreadful sound grew louder
Silence broken by a kick drum
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

He tried to live his life in his father’s eyes
In a way that might save his soul
But with the pressure on this preacher’s son
Let the devil come and take control

(voices)
He that believeth not is condemned already
Justice calls aloud for an infinite punishment of their sins
There is no fortress that is any defence from the power of God. Though vast multitudes of God’s enemies combine, they are easily broken in pieces
The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the fire is made ready and the pit hath opened its mouth under them
They brought forth bitter and poisonous fruit
To me belongeth vengeance; their foot shall slide in due time
For the day of their calamity is at hand
Sin is the ruin and misery of the soul and if God should leave it without restraint, it would set on fire the course of nature

So he headed down into the darkness
To the place where he buried his crime
And in a shallow grave lay his madness
But he couldn’t kill it a second time
Like a symphony of thunder crashes
To the city he became a sound
To the city he became a sound
To the city he became a sound

A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York

J. Dewveall Nashville, Tennessee

Hi! I'm Jonathon, a half-assed singer/songwriter obsessed with existential stuff. Most of the music I make is for all the introverts at the party who feel more comfortable hanging out in the corner than they do on the dance floor. Still, I might give you something to move to every once in a while, so don't get too comfortable.

I'm into process philosophy, baseball, and tacos. REALLY into tacos! ... more
