SIR WILLIAM OF THE ROAD
no one could claim my soul devil god or humankind
im all twisted sinew bone and strangled wires in my mind
never cared for salvation and ascension’s for the birds
id rather keep on humping the road and getting lost in peoples words
i was dead a long time before they let me know
but i still wont lie down i got a will of steel
the demons on my trail you know i laid them low
their cold wicked hands will never feel this bag of bones
all the poison I've consumed should have killed me years ago
how many times have i been exhumed dusted off and given back to the road
my flesh may be long gone but i got tricks laid up my sleeve
I've got my brim my doghouse i get some kicks you wouldn't believe
i was dead...repeat..
my name is william and i am keeper of the road
i was dead...repea

APATHY MOTHERFUCKER RAG
and in to the blackest night
the ragmans still the same, he’s just greasier
walking a mile, another man dances
believing he’s just days away from kissing her
its all the same and i don’t buy it
trying to live the same day twice
its been hell to discover there’ll be hell to pay, and
time left for everything else.
just when everything shifts place
and the pages turn a little easier
election blues and a brand new pair of shoes
and the ragman still sings songs about missing her
its all falling apart man i don’t buy it
trying forever aint gonna cut
when the leaves pass the moon
over a long dry saloon
i just want a little more time
a little more

CHICKEN CHILD
on the corner shes a weak thirteen
her body rocks cause she wont fuckin eat
she dont sleep at night i dont know why
everyones accusing her of getting high
she saw your brother do what his father taught
they dont fall far from the tree
they lay there and turn to rot
got her down on her knees wasn't to please
now she spits to get rid of his god damn disease
cant release us into the wild cause we already found it
try to protect the child from the dangers all around it
get spun come loose dont blame me with your fucking proof
we are just pure minds doing time like everyone else
whats a wicked child to do
you try to drown them out but the voices grew
plays that rock and roll can't sit still
every flamin heart get another pill
knock em down before they’re standing up
just check the reflection on the bottom of the cup
its got eyes like yours calls you a whore
trembling mouth is yelling more and more and more
cant release us...repeat...

EARTH WAS BARE
well the moon shining off of the hate
that you can see so plain in their faces
oh we traveled blindly just as before
but we woke up in different places
and the meek shall inherit a beating
but if it pays so well to be cheating
just say your grace and keep on eating
everybody’s looking for a score
but you always wind up wanting more and more
those wrist slaps and kisses that leave you behind
sweep us up under the mat and we pay no mind
but is your soul as shrouded as the mind
in a world so versed in the unkind
those old letters they just help to remind
lying in the cold of the woods
I’m growing mean from living on roots
I swear you try to be the bigger man, wind up another trigger man
but who’s going to be left to steal the loot
I rolled into town on a chestnut mare
quietly accepted what was offered to me there
it was raining outside and the earth was bare

JOHNNY
Johnnys got a record player (x 3)
And it turns when he turns
spins when he spins.
Burns when he burns
Johnnys got some bad friends (x3)]
And hes queer cuz you say so
Home doin NoDoz
Dolls wearing no clothes.....
Johnnys got a gun now (x 3)
And it solves his problems
He sees all of them
Now he's a lawman

REDEMPTION
way down low
we've all been there before
if you haven’t you know
it will come for you
before your aware
you could be there too
but the tide it rolls
life ebbs and it flows
it all can change today
with luck work or apathy
the best moments of your life
could be just seconds away
but this aint a song of hope
this aint a song of despair
it’s not gonna save your soul
but it won’t drag you to hell
its not a song of redemption
and its not a release
it’s just the way that it is
and thats beautiful to me
ill never know
all the things you have seen
we couldn't be more different
and we often disagree
but when i look in your eyes
i see reflections of me
so don’t let go
don’t get to comfortable
cause you could drive through the night
press on the gas with all your might
sooner or later you come
to the end of the road
this aint a song of hope
this aint a song of despair
it’s not gonna save your soul
but it won’t drag you to hell
it’s not a song of redemption
and its not a release
it’s just the way that it is
and that’s beautiful to me

SILAS THE WANDERER
oh by the way i forgot to tell you something
about me i do it all for nothing
i’m a low down lying cheating rambler
got no patience for quit peace and order
mama left me on the steps of the asylum
nurses took me down into the bottoms
set me free where i found a book of knowledge
left for me by a hungry pack of jackals
down in the gutter where i cut my teeth
i saw a thing of beauty that blinded me
a transient ischemic cephalic rush
i lifted up my eyes and my heart opened up
the burdens of the world vanished from my cup
and all them devils just gave up
down by the water a woman she was waiting
she poured me some poison from a basin
i drank deep and so soon lost consciousness
born away on the raft the ancients
down in the gutter repeat ........

Hollow Down Peoria, Illinois
Hollow Down formed in 2013 out of various players from the Humboldt County, CA music scene to explore a different, darker version of folk, fuzz, rhythm, and good ol greasy punk rock. Now fully reformed with old and new members, the sound is evolving into a juggernaut of haunting rythyms, gritty soulful vocals and some dynamic musical surprises. Stay tuned, new things are brewing.... ... more
Hollow Down recommends:
Stereoscope is very obviously an evolutionary step in the OSO's growth as a band, and a meticulously crafted testament to just how refreshing of a band they are. We have always loved them as will you
