Floating on like rotten wood The minutes have been burned to my wrist A strange voice calls out to me And I know who it is Turn over the hourglass My final plea There are more marks to be made Before I fall to sleep If it's fear you want, well I have shown it Floating on, space and time Through it all, through it all Threw it all away for nothing Floating on like rotten wood The minutes have been burned to my wrist A strange voice calls out to me And I know who it is If it's fear you want, well I have shown it Floating on, space and time Through it all, through it all Threw it all away for nothing Eyes are shut, but mind wide open Hold on tight to one last token For the nights when we were young Writing on a dead man's palm

Red Love Era 03:35
lyrics

Won't be no girl ever bringing me down I was busy diving head first baby I was shot in the back now I'm on the attack Crooked cupid hooked me on a cold lady Honestly, incomplete Your breathe has got me feeling so weak Can't speak, can't sleep after what you did to me Find it hard to think straight lately Is it empty now Can we carry on This has gone on for Long enough Lost love don't lie there's no need to be kind You don't have to say you miss me I've fought, I've tried but you always seem right And I can't get you out of my mind Is it empty now Can we carry on This has gone on for Long enough I can tell by the look in your eyes You're trying hard not to realize you're wrong Yeah, you're gone Hidden in a red love era Staring through my golden vice I find all the things I cared for Floating on through the night I can tell by the look in your eyes You're trying hard not to realize you're wrong Yeah, you're gone

Dead Dogs 06:03
lyrics

Dead dogs at night Feel the bitter bite Catching, scratching, leeches latching You will not win a fight But I say that I feel fine I feel fine So put on your cloak And light up a smoke 'Cause it's a way to repair on your road to despair As the wise men went and spoke But I say that I feel fine I feel fine Lesser minds have been With more corrupted kings As they sit and dine on their rich bread and wine What is lost remains to be seen But I say that I feel fine They feel fine Dead dogs at night Feel the bitter bite Catching, scratching, leeches latching You will not win a fight But I say that I feel fine I'm on the top of the line I'm on the top, top, top

I know you were here I know you were there All smiles came back to me All times came rushing home alone with my fears And you've got this look in your eyes Familiar ties severed clean for years Came home battered and tired Sit by the phone Stripped to the bone Lonely and cold I found a photo of us And I bought a frame to hang it up Together we laughed and we tried To make it all better the short life we had I'd wait but you never came Soon though its time to grow old Came home last night alone Wait by the phone Stripped to the bone Lonely and cold I know you're not here And I know what's good for me And I know you never came Lay there on the ground Sulking for something that just isn't near You've got the sun in your eyes And I've got my pride to be had Your door looks clean from here My door is closed as you go I've got some things to say Out of my mind too late to hear me cry And I've got nobody to hear No lines No room for me

Dearest little princess In my eyes perfection In my little prism I look for your reflection Spending our time In different places Sharing our tales To different faces Dearest little princess You left me with this message Always to remind me Of all those things you mentioned Wasting our lives Through different seasons Losing ourselves For many reasons And I love you while you leave me

Youthquake 05:18

My, how I saw you looking at me the other day Fine, the way you crossed from line to line a gentle sway And I know you spun it well Try, but I already fell Say, say you want me, say you need me in every way Stay, stay the night, right by my side when I awake Lie, lie when you're with me Like, the sand beneath the sea She's a youthquake The way her hips shake She can get high On a heartache Oh, oh darling you've been haunting my every dream And so, I am starving for your love, your touch, your feel I see the tremors in your soul Why? I ask but never know She's a youthquake The way her hips shake She can get high On a heartache

Coasting, flying, it all seems to go up in flames Ghost, moan, while we light the cigarette Fields of gold and me So come on to the sun and dance with me And we don't really know But we don't really care 'Cause we know where to go I see my pawn, your spade of queens Soar Lost, lost in the weather Who he finds they will kill The feel of your fingers On the sun just a net And we don't really know But we don't really care 'Cause we know where to go My hands, your toes, their evil eyes And we don't really know But we don't really care 'Cause we know where to go Sometimes they say what's in between The sun

Today's my day Luck is on my side I've got this way To make things go alright I'll look for you my dear And we'll walk away as we disappear Feel it, under the moon Shying, away from you You've got me going now And I will never quit I've got you feeling down I know, I know Where it comes, and how it goes Oh yes, oh no Love me do, or love me don't We'll drive around See the sights to see It'll be fine, as long as you're with me I'll look for you my dear And finally, I'll show you why we're here Feel it, under the moon Shying, away from you You've got me going down And I will never quit I've got you feeling down I know, I know Where it comes, and how it goes Oh yes, oh no Love me do, or love me don't Love me won't you I'd really like you to 'Cause he broke your heart And you know why you fell apart You know why you're here But why you're here isn't clear to me A beautiful wasteland

The Tides 06:34

Don't know why I care anymore A fish, you're floating on the water And times have slowly changed Going, coming, going, gone And I have felt you're frightened By the wise Taste the cold Breathe, you'll breathe my air I'll be aware And perhaps you'll learn to love and thank The ones who have acknowledged And those you'd rather not So tell me what you're trying to fight I want to fight it for you If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change Then the fighting is through But I feel it, and I feel it, and I feel it coming And I'm not fighting for you So tell me it's that simple Can't you learn to ride the tides All the wisdom that has died Gold seed, stab our backs, no we won't mind We'll stand in line So tell me what you're trying to fight I want to fight it for you If you say you're afraid and you're willing to change Then the fighting is through But I feel it, and i feel it, and I feel it coming And I'm not fighting for you So don't tell me it's that simple Feel your faith Hide away Come on down Feel, feel Hide away On your own Feel, feel

Don't cry woman, don't cry Those films are just a lie You'll see me back You'll see me back Riding the storm one more time The sun will shine 'Til I get back The sun will shine Bright through each and every time Love me woman one more time Before I have to go Do your part and I'll do mine Forever I'll love you so Taste a bit Of the old time Lonely woman in my mind Don't cry woman, don't cry No, no woman don't you cry The wind will pull them through the night Goodbye, Goodbye

Wilkes Oswald Miami, Florida

4 dudes in Miami formed a band in 2009 called Wilkes Oswald. Influenced individually and collectively by acts such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Muse, Daft Punk, and Kanye West.

No two live shows by Wilkes Oswald have ever been the same; they get off on the art of spontaneous, improvised sequences in their live shows; sometimes completely improvising a new song on the spot. ... more
