Normal History Vol. 352: The Art Of David Lester

Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 31-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.

“Breathing In The Dark”

Have you ever tried to dig straight through
to the other side of the world?
Lost before I knew it.
Passing the ones who stopped at the oddest times.
Others stopped halfway.

Listening to another world’s future, breathing in the dark.
Breathing in the dark.

Who is behind you on the way?

Translators aren’t sure they understand this language.
Listening to another world’s future, breathing in the dark.

Who is behind you on the way?
Breathing in the dark.
