New Dashboard Confessional - "Thick As Thieves"
Whenever we hear Dashboard Confessional yowler Chris Carrabba do his achy breaky, we wonder, just slightly, how much his diehards overlap with the kids, say, screaming 'bout early-period Oberst. No? See if you can get what we're saying when you listen to his new confession, "Thick As Thieves" (wait until he really digs into that "it won't stop bleeee-eeeed-innggg"). If the studio version doesn't cut it, filter his sadness through the talky crowd during a live performance of the track at a show last month in NYC. Guess it's a different sort of emo? It's better than the new one from his bros Crows, which true, isn't saying too much, but he definitely has better hair than Lord Conor.

As both the recording and video suggest, Carrabba has gone back to those earlier acoustic ways on the forthcoming The Shade of Poison Trees, which will be unplugged to the hilt ... all the better to hear that sensitive, wounded poetry. Dig the smashed apple/bleedy heart cover image, and get ready to see it emblazoned on back-to-school notebooks everywhere.
The Shade Of Poison Trees is out 10/2 on Vagrant Records

"Listen to yourself
You have a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
You may be a sinner
But I will hold the smoking gun
We'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul that's burning my side
That I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie
So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right"
BRILLIANT!!!

Would it kill you to breathe is it only 17 miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to. I don’t brake easily you’ve got my council thick as thieves.
If there’s a crime we’ll keep it secret for there’s only trace amounts left in you’re blood. You may be a sinner but you may be justified. Just keep your mouth shut, keep your guard up. I swear I’ll make it right. Will it kill me to breathe not as easy as you think it is between you and me. I could fake it if I have to. I don’t break easily I need your council thick as thieves. I have no crime to keep a secret it was hers it was not mine. Well I may be a sinner but it wasn’t me this time. Just keep your mouth shut keep your guard up, I swear I’ll make it right. Well listen to yourself there is a hemorrhage in your mouth it won’t stop bleeding. Well you may be the trigger, I will hold the smoking gun, you’ll get away clean. I’ll keep your secrets till the grave has swallowed me. And I will never tell a tortured soul that’s burning my side that I am a sinner I am a savior I am a lie. So keep your mouth shut keep your guard up. I swear I’ll make it right.
