lyrics

Set upon starlight,
sighing from the apathy.
It seems so funny
that I can't get no relief.

I try so hard to believe in this place,
but they all say that I can't stay this
way.

So I'm through.

The moment, each moment is all I
have left to breathe in.
No photographs, no future's left,
nothing is to heed.

But as I walk home, endless murmurs
pull the covers away
and the cold harsh vapor lamps
leech the fight right from out of me.

So I'm though.

Although I could never believe
admiration lingers beneath,
still my pride is conducting
a picture of a celebration.

But my bed is empty, my sights are
dim, the end is near and so I say,
that I'm through.

~~~

I spent all my time trying to become
something, cause I felt like nothing.

I thought this city could prove to
me that I was worthy of self-love
and recognition.

Instead I feel its derision while
climbing each staircase as a lonely
mountain crux,
toward the apex of Ludlow St.

So forgive me, this city,
for showing you who I am.

Jason Vitelli New York, New York

Cinematic rock music with a vision; this is Jason's sound in a nutshell. His songs are vignettes, narratives, painting a picture with intertwining lyrics and melody. Much of his writing is influenced by the experimental rock of the late 1970’s, marrying folk sentiment with the avant-garde crosscurrent of Berlin era Bowie, Kate Bush, Olivier Messiaen, James Joyce and Eric Dolphy. ... more
