Open Up 04:28

Love is in the air, air lifts love Pushing up against the cold Despite the weight, clouds dampen But a clear sky is lame I’d rather be wet and enjoy a coffee Than feel stale with stomach acid I’ll relax the weight of my body (And open up my neck) Confess my anxieties (Unlock my knobs and buttons) Undo me now, push me down Force on me the weight of your body (Show me that my fright is just funny) Don’t hurt me now I’ve opened up my neck I don’t mean to stare I just gotta take you in, I know that time is scarce I love that little piece of hair And all your little sighs. Will you be my au pair? I know it’s been fast But you made a little heart go around in laps Soon we’ll be far apart But that thought will bring us down, let’s share this rhubarb tart And relax the weight of our bodies (And open up our necks) Confess our anxieties (Unlock our knobs and buttons) Undo me now, push me down Share with me the warmth of your body (Tell me “we’ll get through this honey”) Is it good to be vulnerable? Is it good to be alone? Is it good to be tolerable? Is it good to be stoned? Is it good to be consumed? If not chewed? The feeling of a warm tongue, no teeth, soothes Like late faint rust being scraped away By drops of nerve pulses, generated by love Generated by love So relax the weight of your body (And open up your neck) Confess your anxieties (Unlock your knobs and buttons) Undo me now, push me down Give me the whole weight of your body (Promise me the future is sunny) Don’t hurt me now Don’t leave me now I’ve opened up my neck

Just Go 03:09

The water is falling, or dripping And I guess I am falling, or sleeping Wherever is fine, let’s just move far away someday, not yet Let’s get out of bed though, at least It’s all fine to me, let’s just go Just us Let’s get some coffee, or whatever you would like We can talk a bit, but just a bit Quiet’s okay too Don’t make this a thing I really don’t care, wherever is fine Let’s just go (To) just us (Just go just us) Just go (to) just us (Just go just us) Just go please Just squeeze me tight Though I’ll fight, take flight I’ll fright easily So easily Squeeze me so I can’t scream Just go (to) just us (Just go just us)

Don't Bother 04:27
lyrics

Don’t bother rising Shy from the horizon Don’t get caught hiding Skies in your skin Earth tones for tired bones Waste away checking my phone Liquor store for the bed sores Going out is such a bore Satisfy your hunger By feeding on my will to live Don’t bother rising Shy from the horizon Don’t get caught hiding Skies in your skin Warm toes and dirty clothes Upset without ‘Skip Intro’ Dust off the locked door Can’t put off a trip to the store Chips and stoned for lazy clones Online at home, we’re never alone They say “Turn off, look at your core” But when I do it’s just me with my dumb lore Satisfy your hunger By feeding on my will to live Satisfy (Don’t bother) My hunger (Don’t bother) For feeling gone (Don’t bother) I’ll self evict (Don’t bother)

Gravity Wells 03:05
lyrics

Well, so it starts Despite better judgment There’s life in the universe Now we gotta pay rent Meteors crash Better take out some cash Stars supernova Should I get a new sofa? Spiral in towards center Nebula clouds Black Friday crowds All orbits decay While the city sinks into the bay Circling, circling The same orbit Falling, falling Indefinite Spiral in towards center Gravity wells Black holes swirling

Underwater 03:34
lyrics

Seems like We're out of options We've tried Trying nothing Unheeded warning Untethered warming I'll meet you underwater. One more try, I won't mess up One more go, I won't mess up One more try, to make it up One more chance Feeling low No one tuning in, no one listening Feel it go Lies are everywhere, seasons barely there Time will show Christmas in July, beach day pumpkin pie Time will show Oxygen is thin, shadows closing in He's got All the answers Deadpan, traditional values White-collar crime Payouts and public dime A waste of tired time One more try, I won't mess up One more go, I won't mess up One more try, to make it up One more chance One more try, I won't mess up One more go, I won't mess up One more try, to make it up One more chance to fuck it up Feeling low No one tuning in, no one listening Feel it go Lies are everywhere, seasons barely there Time will show Christmas in July, beach day pumpkin pie Time will show Oxygen is thin, shadows closing in Tell me it's fine Little mind of mine

Well, 02:55
lyrics

Well I’m doing well I’m digging my own well Fill the well Don’t bother with water, you’ll sink in awe there Just sit think and stare I don’t care for all these materials Synthetics ethereals, 2D libido Feels like I’m feeling real down I should cut it out, drown on my own now Well I’m doing well If I can’t fill up your well Hell, I’ll dig a well And forget that I fell for you Hard to tell if the water that falls there That pours from your eyes, dear Means that you fell for me, or someone else Is it hell to jump down the well? I can’t tell if there’s water there Will I splash or splatter? Splash or splatter? Well I’m not doing well (The glass has shattered) If I can’t fill up your well (It didn’t even matter) And I can’t fill up my well (Should I get a cat, or…?) Well, I guess this is hell Well, I’m not fucking well I can’t fill up any well Hell, yeah this is hell You never fell for me Well, I fucking fell And it really hurts still I guess should dig a well and water myself Water myself Repot myself Trim some leaves off myself Really focus on my well

Capacity For Change 03:29
lyrics
Should I bleach my hair and/or cut it off? Just to lighten my load And tighten my eyes on some brighter horizons I can't decide what’s fair Feeling it is not enough No magic insight or code You nor I know so just keep your advice in I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me Or if I did I wouldn’t take my name I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me Or if I did I wouldn’t take my name I could turn it around, take the next exit Punch in coordinates, say I’m worth more than this But at the end is no oasis, it’s all a journey just endless Same car, same driver, same abyss I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me Or if I did I wouldn’t take my name I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me Or if I did I wouldn’t take my name I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me Or if I did I wouldn’t take my name I hope I can change I don’t wanna stay the same I wouldn’t marry me
