lyrics

A screen is all I've got with everything that's moved on
There's a choir of little drums outside
They know it's been a silent ride home with you

There's a heavy, orange, sick light circling over me
And I hear 'em outside (I hear 'em outside)
Drumming hollows in their bodies (drumming hollows in their bodies)

I know when the well runs out, I'm the dog under the house
A flame on it's way out
We were two islands
Two eyelids dream of when I used to chase you around

Had I known I wouldn't have
Then I wouldn't have lost before I started

I held up a crawlspace
With a lot unsaid when the lines went dead
Lines went dead, but I'm headphone safe
(Headphone safe)

I tried, but it can't be the same as it was
I'll hide my face in the things I can make
The work I can save and take a drive
You and I watch movies through the night

I lie awake and I'm still here
Just a cage of bones left standing here for you
I lie awake and I'm still here
Just a cage of bones left standing here for you

(Dog under the house)

I'll be the dog under the house
I'm the flame that's almost out
But I'm me

I'll be the dog under the house
I'm the flame that's almost out
But I'm me

I know when the well runs out, I'm the dog under the house
A flame on it's way out
We were two islands
Two eyelids dream of when I used to chase you around

Had I known, I wouldn't have
Then I wouldn't have

Far Above The Pines
by Dust Sculptures

supported by 12 fans who also own “Dog Under The House”

A totally under-appreciated gem. Very few projects have captured the sense of dusty melancholia and nostalgia that Dust Sculptures evoke, and this album is seminal in that regard. Dieseltone

Nostalgia
by Dust Sculptures

supported by 10 fans who also own “Dog Under The House”

I've been following the works of Josh since the Spikey Drummer years. Then Dust Sculptures and lately his most recent work Home. Both Dust Sculptures and Josh's Home are a most for any prog music lover. There are so many great things and emotions on this one. Get it! Daniel Siconnelli
