same skin lyrics

i forgot to put these up haha

NOSELEEECH
beg for functional thoughts. your words are scrambled, you're rambling off. and i don't want to see your face. "oh to be young again" but always alone. to each his own revolting life...always alone.

THESPIANAGE (REVISITED)
cut me open, and feed my remains to the dogs and vultures (let them feast). because i'm a waste anyways. i'm no good to this city (that still rots). great white tiger, hopeless renegade: you can find my soul searching thoughts through this streets of mindless-self-pity. so set me on fire, because my eyes are wide open. "head straight for the exit door" they're still screaming in my head. and i hope you die on the drive home because i never said you could (fkkng) go in peace.

DEAD GIRL
throw us mirrors so we can see our beautiful faces. we wear the same skin, we wear the same old skin. (err...fuck you) alone and angry for so many fucking years. we wear the same old fucking skin. starve yourself from the inside out before you're just another stain.

GLASS EATER
(owrf) wave your red flag then burn it to the ground. i cannot feed all of you, these limbs are growing but i am not. and i cannot be what's right. not for you, not for anyone.

the screws in my head

so we wrote another song today. which makes it six. meaning we're hitting the studio soon to record. plus we get our new van tomorrow. fuk yah

dig yourself sick

new shit is coming soon. we got five tasty new jams so far. we're gonna bust out one more and hit the studio. but if you don't feel like waiting, come out to one of the shows this month and you'll hear at least three of them. and in other news, same skin is gonna be up soon. we got some techy shit to work out but i should have it posted within the next week. so yeah, i gotta go to bed. i'm seeing brand new in about fifteen hours. can i get an amen? goodnight.

j.

season four

in ten days

new and improved

so, a buttload of shit has gone down since the last post. firstly, we lost a dude and got two new ones. kevin's no longer with us due to he's going to skewl full time and sheet. so ricky from fire on the plains is our new drummer. another edition, also from fire on the plains is our new guitarist ryan. so, we've been writing a shit-ton of new songs and they're turning out better than anything any of us expected. kingsford has never been stronger than right now, holmes. so go to the october fifth show and hear new songs and shit. and i know i'm writing this pretty awfully, but i'm hella tired and the only reason i'm still up is to harvest my eggplants. if you got a facebook, look me up and gift me shit for my farm. holler.

j.

so...

just wanted to say how stoked i am on all the shit we're writing. we gotta show on october fifth at the cobalt with fire on the plains, benoit, bone dance, blocked out, and caulfield. everyone should go. we're probably gonna bust out a new song or two. killer.

j.

yes.

so we started writing yesterday. and considering that we're writing without drums in my bedroom out of 15 watt amps, it's going pretty good. we're all really diggin what it's sounding like so far. but we wrote a whole song yesterday. friday is round two, crank another one out. yup, hope for the best.

j.

give us money

we need to buy a van.

new shirt

my little sister drew this. tell us what colors it should be. what color print on what color shirt. cuz we're undecided and stuff

j.

i just realized

my posts have terrible flow haha like there's no transitions or anything. information is just kinda clumped together in a way that sort of makes sense. like when i read over my posts, sometimes i don't even understand them haha so i just want to apologize for that. but i'm the only one in the band who ever posts so........get used to it? i'm going to bed

j.

some low down

tonight we had what i think is gonna be our last show for a good while. not because we're breaking up lolzz but because we gotta take care of some shit. what i'm saying is, we're gonna take a break from shows and WRITE. like fucking crazy. we're writing a whole new setlist along with probably another four or five songs to put on an almost full length. meaning an EP with like nine songs. and we're getting a little older and a lot more pissed off, so don't expect us to sound the same. and don't expect to see us for a good month or two. cause we're gonna be writing the shit out of shit. and we gotta make shirts and buy a new van (RIP ol' blu). a lotta shit is on the to do list for us right now. but i'm going to bed because, as usual, i decided to post at the most ridiculous time possible. i'll keep all eight of you that read this thing updated on the reg.

and i can't stop thinking about the new season of venture bros. premieres in november. and no brock!!! who's the new bodyguard?!! and what's up with hank's hair?! i'm dying, holmes!

goodnight, j.

i just wanted to put this picture up.

fucking great

okay

so i haven't posted anything in a good while. what happened since then? kevin quit the band for a couple weeks, then came back haha umm we've played some shows, wrote a new song, drank some beer, got cowboy potato tattoos in vegas, someone stole miles' guitar, fucked some bitches here and there, the usual. also i put up the mostly edited version of our new ep on myspace. depending on how many plays we get today and tomorrow, i'll put them up for download but there's still some fine tuning that's gotta be done. and in other news, we leave for vegas tonight i think for our next vegas show tomorrow with fucking touche amore and caravels. it's also our buddies in mons wolff's last show. but i think it's gonna be a good way for them to go out. but yeah, i gotta do some laundry, but i'll try posting more often again. later.

j.

just some shit

so we had this show on saturday and kevin couldn't make it. usually we'd be like whatever but it was a pretty sweet show and we didn't wanna pass it up so miles, rafa and myself attempted a three-piece set. rafa on bass, miles on drum, and yours truly on guitar and vokillz. surprisingly it didn't turn out a total disaster. we missed our little kevy but it was still a fun show. so i just wanted to take this post to thank everybody at that show and all the bands that played and cameron. i also wanted to do some advertisement for our boy evan. cuz in addition to our always amazing snapshots from ANGELA, we got some sweet pictures from him. so take the time and check out his photostream HERE.




also it was rafa's graduation today. hooorraayyy!

stay classy, j.

kewl shit

aite so, we've been hitting the studio this week and shit's going pretty good. everything sounds kickass. i would elaborate but i kinda wanna play some halo.


also, kevin ran over an opossum about half an hour ago. it was hella fuck sick. i was especially excited due to my deep hatred for those scummy creatures. an opossum ate my turtle in seventh grade. fuck that.



party on, j.

python city

i finally got around to this.

download our last ep here.


lyrixxxx:


JOHN BECK

all these faces around me are porcelain portraits of themselves
off of this makeshift giant...we praise the lights, we praise the sun!


SOMETIMES

hello again, yes i think we've met before
its so nice to see you, but lets not get carried away
by the empty space
it closes in, wraps its limbs around me
swallows the silence
and i cant sleep with this snake in my eye
why? (time after time)
these arms are frozen, these arms are frozen
now i'm heading back through your brain
but i cant breathe, its time to go
slithering through the dirt
and more still awaits you
get back in your hole, your family awaits you
but there's still empty space
it closes in, it wraps its limbs around me
i try to shut my eyes but it still seeps in
my perception is twisted
why? (time after time)
these arms are frozen, these arms are frozen
heading back through your brain
free your mind and let me crawl inside you
cry all the way home, blind souls: blind soldiers


NOSELEECH

beg for functional thoughts
your words are scrambled, you're rambling off
and i don't want to see your face
"oh to be young again..." (but always alone)
to each his own revolting life (always alone)


THESPIANAGE

cut me open, and feed my remains to the dogs and vultures (let them feast)
i'm a waste anyways, i'm no good to this city (that still rots)
great white tiger, hopeless renegade/i generally can't be one who cares, but since you ripped my ears off, i couldn't give a shit
find my soul surging thoughts through these streets of mindless self pity
set me on fire, my eyes are wide open
go in peace


TERRORIZOR

wait there for me but dont say i told you...
to take your place at the foot of the sun and pick it apart
you better leave the water before you boil
you wont survive this but try to, just try to...
stay alive for a little while
but your skin is already bubbling
so make your way to the needle-nosed girl
she opens her lips and blows hiyeena kisses your way
make your way to the front of the line
we are all the under belly of the beast
the heart of the machine
one by one
we only have fire to fight fire with
so once again, you can find me with a torch
can someone find a place where i can lay my head
for thousands of years

recording

so on sunday, i'm glad to say we're hitting the studio. we're only gonna record a couple songs just to reassure ourselves that it's gonna happen. if that made sense. but yeah, shit's gonna rule. keep an eye out. they should be up like a week or so after sunday. also, they're gonna be up for free download.

l8rr

sweeeeet show

shit's gonna rule so hard.
check out our buddies ruined tongue, coming out from vegas for this.
www.myspace.com/ruinedtongue or www.ruinedtongue.blogspot.com

it's coming...

recording soon.

fuk yah

summer 2k9

so we got some kewl shit planned for summer.

1. merch, merch, merch! we're plan to get out like three different shirts by summer. we got two designs down. so one more to go, then we just gotta scrape up enough cash to get them printed. check out the two we got so far at thekingsfordrun.bigcartel.com

2. trailer. don't even get me started.

3. second guitarist. let's cross our fingers, eh?

4. new EP! yes, yes, yes. we're in the midst of writing a fuckload of new songs for the new EP which hopefully we'll get out sometime in june, not too late. i think we came to the conclusion it's gonna be an eight songer. we have about half written. which doesn't mean too much seeing as how we're rerecording two songs from the last one for the new one haha. but nonetheless, we have two or three new songs totally done. so that leaves about three or four to write by the end of may. it'll all work out. we've been struggling with a name for it. but we'll come to a conclusion soon i hope. we just need to start crankin shit out. but yeah, the coolest part of this upcoming ep is that we're not printing them on cds like "python city". cuz we spent a little over $300 to get 100 cds printed, and then realized that nobody pays for music anymore. so right now we're giving them out at shows pretty much and selling them on big cartel if we need to ship them i guess. but like i was saying, that's not happening this time. what we're doing is recording the ep, making album art, think of a name, and put the shit on mediafire for free download. it's gonna be awesome. i'm fucking pumped.

5. last but not least, TOUR! sooooooo siq! we should be going on a three weeker with our buddies falco does it dirty (myspace.com/falcodid) from mid july to early august.
roughly:

Los Angeles, CA
San Diego, CA
Pheonix, AZ
Tucson, AZ
El Paso, TX
San Antonio, TX
Houston, TX
Dallas, TX
Wichita Falls, Tx
Colorado Springs, CO
Cheyenne, WY
Salt Lake City, UT
Reno, NV
San Fransisco, CA
Fresno, CA
Bakersfield, CA
Simi Valley, CA

so, it should be interesting.


that's all for now, peeeece.

j.

about us.........i guess

so i guess i should kick this thing off with some stupid shit about us that nobody cares about. we're the kingsford run: an experimental band from simi valley, ca. we're a four-peice consisting of miles west on guitar, jason yarger on vocals, kevin leekley on drums and rafael tamayo on bass.

we draw influences from a butt-load of various bands such as fear before the march of flames, converge, botch, sex positions, comadre, the chariot, ceremony, don the reader, leathermouth, deadhead, charles bronson, flux of pink indians, pg.99, trash talk, coalesce, some girls, curl up and die, narrows, pink floyd, la dispute, trap them, the jonbenet, isis, purple mercy, showbread, the bled, every time i die, ...who calls so loud, mammoth grinder, the blood brothers, scarlet, punch, bowie, pelican, gallows, amanda woodward, breather resist, fugazi, sabertooth zombie, you and i, blues, norma jean, and black flag. pretty much anything we listen to. but you can decide for yourself what we sound like.

we recently put out an EP called python city. five tracks including: john beck, noseleech, sometimes, thespianage, and terrorizer. you can pick it up, among other things, at http://www.thekingsfordrun.bigcartel.com

i was trying to think of something inspirational and unique to say at the end here but it's not working out.

so until next time...

very exciting

i've been meaning to start this blog thing for awhile and i finally got around to it. we'll see how things work out. much love.

jason.
