Artist description
Wide awake, sitting bolt upright in bed, completely at a loss to explain my surroundings.
Plastic furniture, unexplorable landscapes on the wall, overstuffed pillows on the bed.
Recognition dawns--a motel just outside Outer Darkness, New Mexico. A faint
recollection of the surly look on the otherwise empty face of the guy at the reception desk
at 2 a.m., taking my 33 dollars in wadded bills, shoving the key and some change across
the counter.
The Unbelievers
Love and sex, joy, despair. An endless western highway.
The moment just before the first touch, all the days following the last kiss.
The sad, sweet dream of believing in nothing, and everything...
The key turns in the ignition, the engine comes back to life, one more time. Resurrection.
Off again in pursuit of the unattainable, an angel, fallen to earth, struggling to recall what
it was, exactly, that appeared so utterly tantalizing from above.
“it lingered like a long slow kiss
your body warm and willing
predisposed to bliss
entwining with your midnight lover
in a neon colored tryst
turning gold and blue and red
the city lights outside your window
drawn into your bed
jealous angels hovering above
breathless in the throes of love”
After a certain point, even the question of turning back seemed ludicrous, almost like the
concept of returning to the womb. The idea had gradually become an obsession, the
obsession inevitably became a quest, and the quest itself became the point--you and
your personal demons thundering down the road together, overshadowing the grail,
answering to no god, lost to the world.
“dust clouds rise beneath my feet
to obscure the way behind me
my image burns into the street
as he walks beside me”
The devil is no mystery to me. I've seen him in the light of day.
The Unbelievers is a band based out of Memphis, Tennessee. Our debut album is Theme from a
