about

Recorded in NYC, on a rooftop, the city humming in the background.

lyrics

And so came the sudden grace, the draw of a tarot card
Winds carry winter rain, envy on a bullet train
Hopeful for a clear lit sign from the radio
But the songs all sound the same, the message never came
And it’s easier to cling to nothing than to let it go
Pain gives birth to lies, patterns will always show
And at the deepest pits of the labyrinths sit their rotten cores
Schemes for easy wealth, dreams of finished wars

Suspend belief, finish what you start
Paint the maps red, keep the clutch bled
And bare your teeth beneath the marble arch
Give in to greed, shed honesty

A circus of conceit, hollow precedents
The score is paid no mind, blind leading the blind
And a sultry woman smiles in her decadence
Scars all painted white, bellow pleasure in the night
The traitors always thrive despite the evidence
A cost that’s paid with iron and the hunger of desire
Now the points upon the stag are deemed irrelevant
The end holds equal weight, all trophies are the same

The burden of peace, chaotic needs
Phone in your love, keep your guts tucked
Sucker someone in, fuck all their friends
In a promise ring, kill all the kings
Feel relief wash your conscience clean
Save the warm months for the store fronts
And sell deceit, call it winter’s dream
And claim your loot, the forbidden fruit

And so came the sudden grace, the draw of a tarot card
Winds carry winter rain, envy on a bullet train

about

the Hill Country Devil image

the Hill Country Devil Texas

The Hill Country Devil (AKA Hayden Karchmer) seems to bring back something from beyond the edge with every song he pens, exorcising harrowing demons with every performance. Despite a burdensome life spent on the run from his own worst habits, always picking up the pieces just to pawn them off, he's somehow still here with us, still dangling from the edge, still plumbing unknown depths of the soul. ... more

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell

supported by 6 fans who also own “Tarot Card (live, GemsOnVHS field recording)”

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message. oldmanj716
