lyrics

I Don’t Want to Know

As close as rain and rust,
like dust on shelves
we intersected, we connected
in entropy’s final wind-down:
passively, with a sigh.
I think what I think I must.
We place ourselves into the background,
while in the foreground
clutter, chores, and appointments
cushion the question why.
I love when the frame of my life collapses.
My ghost loves to look down from way up above.
No, no, yeah, I don’t wanna know
Yeah, no, yeah, no, I don’t wanna know
Yeah, no, yeah, I don’t wanna know
Yeah, no yeah, I don’t wanna know
Yeah, no, yeah, no, I don’t wanna know.
I turn my volume down,
you frown for me.
We’ve got a system with a ticking rhythm
making the moments march by, passively,
with a sigh.
I’d love to be held like there’s a tomorrow.
My ghost looks through my eyes
from way far away.
No, yeah, no, etc.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
