Keith Jaissle I've been waiting years for this record, and if Spectres is a reflection of the rest of the album, Jon Timm's Fever Dream is going to be even better than I could ever have imagined.

I sat down in the belly of the beast and I cried All I need is someone to save me from myself, be on my side While she haunts all the places we used to go I am a child When there’s no choice but to forget and to avoid where she runs wild Now it’s been awhile with no end in sight As I walk on from the dark edge of this cell my head held low I try to remember words a friend of mine had left about a glow That spark’s not faded and the words still hold their depth through all this time Still I would trade them all for one more late night drive with him Then I might just be all right, we could drive all night before I close my eyes

You would never guess that when it all goes down It won’t be so affirming as heart-rending Even though you let him be your one way out I will help you just before I let you down Seven months down to the hour The difference is it’s all the same And now I hear you’ve been out walking Like I was when you left me cryin in the street But honey I rose up and sang my way back home And that’s the part you missed, the heartbreak you never saw Now I’m done with it And you can have it I’ve had all I’d ever want If the dark that fuels this is what you’re looking for Then darlin take it, it’s all yours Overblown and overdriven Trying hard just to be seen Breaking out from who you were And who they told you you should be But I never told you that or which way you should go If you’re crashing now I still want you to know That I’m done with it And you can have it I’ve had all I’d ever want If the dark that fuels this is what you’re looking for Then darlin take it, it’s all yours
3.
Picked out and wasted And falling from grace in these walls No home again It all happened so fast The only feeling that lasts Is the sinking so deep in a song But hold on Darlin, the thing is The feeling was fleeting But for you I’m just not so sure If I knew you at all The weight of the fall Will be more than you can endure Or are you stronger Are you bolder Now that you’re gone Hold on Now that some time’s passed I hope those dreams are coming less and less And you barely remember my face And even if you still think I’m untrue You can forget and stop wasting your days I know you’re stronger I know you’re bolder Now that I’m gone Now that I’m gone The truth’s what you believe
4.
Cold nights slipping from my mind One eye can’t pretend that you’re not gone While the other stays blind Stands the test of time Thinks we’ll make some songs again I fold my hands over my chest And breathe a final sigh of my demise After having fallen down Still reeling from the sound Of your pure, imperfect breath Of what’s gray and and what’s gold That could swallow me whole There’s a shadow that dwells When this city can tell That you’ll be beyond recognition pretty soon Let these words be some relief A temporary reprieve from the fear Of falling or growing up Or not doing enough to realize the dream again
5.
I’ll buy another round If you don’t leave me here just yet I still need you to help me to forget I’m not the lucky one no more I know you’ve got your kid And your wife asleep at home But I don’t wanna be alone Let’s just be younger men again Dear brother I’m worried I have a soul Less passionate than yours and the whole damned world’s I don’t mean to burden you with all of my insecurity But you oughta know me by now This is one of several nights I’ve wandered out my door Tryin to find out what I’m for In a bottle like they’ve sung I must be doing something wrong Because it’s nothing like those songs Yeah I’m drinking til I’m gone But my trouble lingers on Please tell me the secret of a life less discontent And draw me a map to find my way Before we get out of here I gotta know you’re on my side Brother please tell me what I wanna hear Because I’ve gotta know for sure
6.
Was it a buffalo night or a basement show Before I Saw the Light, after Chicago With the lights down low and your heartbeat slow Miles from Ohio, you sang I’ll breathe the smoke of a thousand cigarettes You’ll be working and I’m still working on those words If you remember when I see you again You can pick up where I started on that verse Corner of Halsted and Grace, you were never there I felt your trouble in my veins, it was in the air You might not have known how we all held our breath While you struggled for yours, and then you faced it all again
7.
These Hours 04:58
These hours again They weren’t meant for any men Nothing to sing about when this winter will not end In these hours again No moon up above No truth, no love Darlin you were nothing more than a spectre I dreamed of While there was no moon up above I know where you lay You are close, but you’re the furthest away From the moment I found you you were never meant to stay Now I know where you lay Will I haunt your songs Will you sing out about how you were wrong While you still surround me Do you even notice that I’m gone Or will I haunt your songs These hours again I wake up every night for them Not a soul to assure me that these wounds will mend In these hours again
8.
Hold My Own 03:38
I can hold my own for tonight But there are so many more nights Northern horizons, holier days Don’t sway me like they used to Fools and lonely men are one in the same With their hearts out on their sleeves Try as I might I am one of them And I’m getting weaker every day Now I’ve gotta get away Put some miles between that house and me Save myself from insanity No I can’t do this alone As the days get longer so does the blues When the worst seems yet to come And nothing seems so predictable as the setting of our sun Is it really so unbelievable that you might have done all of this with me God knows I tried, I tried and I tried to give you what you need Now I’ve gotta get away Put some miles between that house and me Save myself from insanity No I can’t do this alone
9.
Spectres 06:34
Is there nothing I can do to comfort this room Has a year and its spectres reached all our hearts And if for no one else’s sake Myself alone, I will retrace To before we laid our heads on the tracks Long nights, couch cushions lay On the floor where I’d stay First we’d weather the storm to get our drinks And all hours were not safe from irreverent days Over and over until the change If you’re looking for me I’ll be gone for awhile And this hole in my heart will be all that I become for awhile When they say I sound like you I always know that’s not true But the thought of your voice coming through my throat With all its rasp and honesty All that I aspire to be For a moment I forget you are not here If you’re looking for me I’ll be gone for awhile And this hole in my heart will be all that I become for awhile I know I must let this go But I will not let you go
10.
I sat down in the belly of the beast and I cried All I need is someone to save me from myself, be on my side While she haunts all the places we used to go I am a child When there’s no choice but to forget and to avoid where she runs wild Now it’s been awhile with no end in sight As I walk on from the dark edge of this cell my head held low I try to remember words a friend of mine had left about a glow That spark’s not faded and the words still hold their depth through all this time Still I would trade them all for one more late night drive with him Then I might just be all right, we could drive all night before I close my eyes
