Youth Lagoon - Playwright Lyrics






Adding to the flood
Words that are too old to taste
Everyone I loved
Disappeared without a trace
I still call for them
But I don't have much left in me
Comb the database
Evidence you ever lived
No longer exists
Except the heart inside your kids
I still cry for you
I hear your voice when I speak

I got the future folded neatly in my drawer
Queen of the legless centipedes, rich and poor
Monaco deadbeat, entertain, earn your keep
Panic's in town to visit me twice a week

Curtain's at nine
Where is the playwright?
Fucked up my line
Deep in my wine
Call off the door
Keep them from charging
I have the floor
Love asked for more

Curtain's at nine
Where is the playwright?
Fucked up my line
Deep in my wine
Call off the door
Keep them from charging
I have the floor
Love asked for more

    This song is so hauntingly beautiful and so perfectly executed. Its such a slow build up to 2 very subtle, yet powerful climaxes

  12. c.... c....

    Mullberry Violence is a great album. Personally i dont see why it couldnt have come under the Youth Lagoon name, though. Hope he plays YL songs on his tour.

    c.... c....

    chris carter because he is no longer under youth lagoon. he stated in 2016 that he was retiring that name and music for many reasons.

    When you know that one of Trevor’s closest friends died in a tragic rafting accident, both the video and the song become a lot more heartbreaking.

    I cried when I heard it and it is not exaggeration, I love each and every one of the sounds, the influence maybe of Japan in your life, thanks for this musical jewel.

  50. f.... ....

    I don't mean to humblebrag, but I know I am. I got to hang out with this guy for a couple hours way back when he toured with father John misty opening. He played his first live song from his wondrous bughouse album at my questioning if He had new stuff yet. He only had his first album out and I asked if he had any new stuff. He said he had some skeletons of songs but before he went onstage, he said he would play a new one they were working on if I didn't put it into youtube. I almost can guarantee he doesn't remember me, but that night was friggen amazing. And I don't care of anyone believes me, it fucking happened. And I really like where his sound is going....

    f.... ....

    that's cool, which song did he play?

    f.... ....

    To be honest, I had a bit to drink, I even got him and his guitarist to take a pull of blue 100 on Broadway in fargo with me, and I had never heard the song before and the album didn't come out until a while later so I honestly don't remember what song he played. My sister may have got it on film, but he said not to put it on youtube. But if you ever ask him about Scott in fargo, I bet he might say I vaguely remember that. But I'm sure he met 1000s of strangers a year, so I doubt it.

    f.... ....

    The album you mention wasn't his first. The Year of Hibernation was, and it's a truly amazing album

  51. A.... !....

    Welcome back!!

  52. R.... D....

    attic doctor and dropla were favorite songs of last five years

  53. J.... N....

    glad you're back, but unfortunately i find this song just ok

    J.... N....

    scuta de novo

  54. D.... M....

    I WONDERED EVERYDAY WHERE YOU WERE I KNOW YOU'RE HAPPY AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY AND IM SO HAPPY YOU'RE MAKING MUSIC AGAIN TREVOR :´))))))))))))

  55. s.... ....

    holy shit...

  56. C.... F....

    this is beautiful, thank you

  57. D.... S....

    Good to see you back we have missed you.

    U.... P....
