THE KIND

GothicGuru Chirs travels his own path, and it is beautiful. It is mercurial, delicate and fleeting. It feels uncomfortably close at times, like a stranger that sits next to you on a couch at a house party. At first you are annoyed at the nonchalant touches and dismissive manner as they talk to others hardly noticing you and the closeness, however, you feel their absence keenly when they leave your side cold and exposed. I feel extremely blessed to own this rare gem. Favorite track: Cradled.

Old Code 04:30
Old Code I need a little time dad We can make it better I need a little space to breathe, oh The paths we made, like maps The ocean gaps get wider There’s a space to breathe, oh But I believe that since you passed the ocean ice got wider There’s space to freeze old, old code Old code Old code Old code I confronted you I wanted to You lashed out at me A coward on his knees I wanted the truth I wanted to blame you Then you tried to buy me I didn’t want your money I only wanted the truth I only wanted the truth I only wanted the truth I only wanted truth I only wanted truth I only wanted truth I only wanted truth I only wanted I only wanted The truth I only wanted I only wanted The truth.

Not the Child We're not the lovers we said we were I’m not the child either In other words, i'm better off I’m better off Don't write the letter you said you would Don't walk the extra mile either Don't bother her, she better off She better off This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child We're not the child This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child We're not the child This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child The shift, the change: Oh why, oh when, Oh where? The shift, the change: Oh why, oh when, Oh where? Don't tell me about the wind This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child We're not the child This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child We're not the child This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We’re not the child We're not the child This is in black and white There is nothing else they can do We're not the child don't write the letter you said you would don't walk the extra mile either don't bother her she better off don't write the letter you said you would don't walk the extra mile either don't bother her she better off this is in black and white there is nothin else they can do to us now we're not the child we're not the child this is in black and white there is nothin else they can do to us now we're not the child we're not the child this is in black and white there is nothin else they can do to us now we're not the child we're not the child this is in black and white there is nothin else they can do we're not the child

Now On 03:17
Now On I couldn’t tell you while I was bleedin I only held you while I was fleein It was not the love - that we agreed on And that’s why I left, I concede hun I loved you indeed hun No you did not misread our love But the things that I buried I buried under the shame So deep I didn’t know that I won Under the shame so deep I didn’t know that I won I wanted freedom I was chained to this thing - this demon. The strength of the dark made me cheat on The weak heart is easier to lead on I won’t give my love so easy from now on I won’t give my love so easy from now on I won’t give my body so easy from now on I won’t give my body so easy from now on

Telephone 05:59
Telephone I heard you got sick in a honeycomb I heard it on the telephone You left in the wind you left in the black It was a fine-tuned sneak attack Though the wind never scared me truly Even pain could be kind and dared to soothe me I know you loved me truly, ooh, But we don’t love one way do we? But we don’t love one way do we? They said they found you at the end of July With a broken AC and the desert heat turned up high In a puddle of piss, body clickety clack They never cared about you, you were never comin back They said you got sick - it was on the phone They said that you weren’t comin home Though I already knew it still felt like a smack Then you were gone in the wind you were gone in the black Did you do that to you for me truly? Show me pain could be kind, and did it soothe thee? I know you loved me truly, ooh, But we don’t love one way do we? But we don’t love one way do we? I heard you’re going home I heard it on the telephone I broke rules of astrology I owe you an apology I’m so sorry I’m so sorry The last thing that I said I meant it truly I know you heard cuz that day you crossed right through me You know I loved you truly, ooh, But we don’t love one way do we? No we don’t love one way do we?

Cradled 01:54
Cradled written by Chris Garneau This pink forgiveness Handheld Heavy as the darkness God has willed No one willed this No one wanted this This guilt Underneath it is our wealth Cradled, You used to be so good.

For Celeste 04:36
For Celeste You think you let it out too early You think that maybe you’re too young You don’t have to be angry I already knew you were Already knew you were You missed your days polite unraveling You missed your days when you were young You did not get to be the child I always knew you were You were You don’t have to be funny I have never asked for cheer You can definitely have anger Have my house: I’m done living here I’m done living here You can give in a bit more easy You can dance, you can be young Don’t have to try, just be the child I always knew you were, always knew you were Don’t try to kill the little things They are a part of you Surrender Surrender You don’t have to be funny I have never asked for cheer You can definitley have anger Have my house: I’m done living here I’m done I’m done living here You don’t have to go away Anyway, you never leave. Stay here You have No Fear.

Won't Use 02:45
Won’t Use I don’t need anything now I don’t I look at anything now I won’t look away from it Won’t use your queen Use your queen I don’t bleed anymore I’m stone I won’t wrap the wound it won’t heal It never will reduce I won’t look away from it Won’t use your queen Use your queen.

The Kind 07:07
The Kind I don’t even want your love Not from afar We are apart You drew the line in white chalk Let’s not talk Maybe the night is not always dark Baby I do bite but I don’t always bark We can’t go on like the lark does Don’t turn me in like a narc cuz Cuz you got me crazy with these drugs oh yeah You know me crazy with these drugs yeah That’s not the kind I wanna be And it never was No it never was babe Just let me be just let me be I’m never gonna be blind That kinda fun babe The kind that makes me run away Don’t visit me I will never be lonely You may have helped me But you did not save me No that was all me A well-behaved baby Oh oh oh oh Say it with me now the kind they can’t win Write it all down write it within Write it all down remember the sin Don’t visit me I will never be lonely Don’t kiss me You don’t want anything from me So I’ll give I’ll give you nothing You got me crazy with these drugs oh yeah You know you got me crazy with these drugs yea That’s not the kind I wanna be And it never was No you never were baby! Just let me be just let me be I’m never gonna be blind That kinda fun babe The kind that makes me run away Blind: that kinda fun Why don’t you run babe I don’t even want your love Not from afar We are apart We drew the line in white chalk Let’s not talk Maybe the night is not always dark Baby your kind never really fought
