I keep my piano in the bedroom So i can sleep that close to freedom, still... Sometimes i chew my fingers more than i should... 'til they bleed. Father always said to keep my color off the keys. I show my trophies in the gift shop, and pose my father in the billiard room. I want this house to be a tribute to him- a museum... and though some may try my father's love will never die. Of all the vampires, kings and thieves dropping by to harvest me, None will pay a higher price than he who shares my bed at night. I choose you I choose you I choose you to carry his pride. I choose you I choose you I choose you to be my sacrifice. I keep hope my locked in the basement. Can't let the dark get out or the light get in I find That hope is not so good for my skin... or my throat. I don't know what it is... I guess it's just the way that i cope. I'll get the shotgun from the attic, and leave our body on the lobby flor. Then when she finds us, Sam will clean up the mess, drive out east -somewhere meaningless- to bury father's masterpiece.

And still the man doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Gavin has DECADES of amazing music under his belt. Honestly Eminem and Justin Timberlake are lucky he didn't blow up before they did because he's just as talented and he's been recording music for just as long. It's all just noise in comparison to Gavin. If you want some groove check out Gavin's old band Gruvis Malt. With the Spirit of a Traffic Jam is my favorite album and Sound Soldiers is great too.

[@pink_tape2301]

@@gavincastletonmusic pls do ittyt

[@nickakathatguy]

I mean, Gavin's discography has quite a few disturbing moments.... "A Bullet, A Lever, A Key" starts with with a man preparing for suicide after a lifetime of failure, & "Grace Land" narration is the inner voice of a man accused of being a sexual predator at a wedding... "Home" is an idealized romantic relationship disrupted by a zombie apocalypse & "Hospital Hymns" ends with a misguided, and highly spiritual custodian disconnecting someone from life support. Oh! And "Window 23" is an extremely detailed first person perspective of someone trying to escape (but failing) the wreckage of a plane crash (with a fancy twist). Then Gruvis Malt is all kinds of straight up spooky banana's... Maximum Unicorn is borderline horror.
