As Land of Talk, Elizabeth Powell pushes indie rock's boundaries while questioning society's confining expectations. When the project emerged in 2006 with Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, their spiky, raucous songs and Powell's keening, vibrato-laden vocals evoked the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but their sound soon grew more nuanced: 2008's Some Are Lakes gave equal time to their music's beauty and its bite. After a lengthy hiatus during which Powell considered quitting music altogether, Land of Talk experienced a creative rebirth with the gently eclectic contemplations of mortality on 2017's Life After Youth and 2020's similarly introspective Indistinct Conversations, both of which featured expansive sounds and clear-eyed, confessional songwriting. With 2023's Performances, Powell continued Land of Talk's reinvention, setting the guitar aside in favor of keyboard-driven explorations of their identity as a non-binary artist.

Powell started writing and playing songs at age 14 while growing up in Guelph, Ontario. Later, they played with the Aaron Riches Nuclear Family Band and the Valentines and performed as a solo artist, releasing an album under the name ELE_K* in 2003. While enrolled in Concordia University's jazz program, Powell met bassist Blake Markle and drummer Mark "Bucky" Wheaton. They formed Land of Talk in 2006, taking inspiration from PJ Harvey, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth for the project's sound. By the time they recorded their debut album, April 2006's Applause Cheer Boo Hiss, Tim Kramer had taken over bass duties. More lineup changes followed in 2007, with Kramer and Wheaton leaving Land of Talk, and bassist Chris McCarron and drummer Eric Thibodeau joining.

Land of Talk moved to Saddle Creek for its second-full length, 2008's Some Are Lakes, a more eclectic, melodic album produced by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and featuring the Slip's Andrew Barr on drums. Around this time, Powell also became a touring member of Broken Social Scene. Following a tour with that band, McCarron left to play guitar with the Dears. Bassist Joe Yarmush joined soon after, and Land of Talk issued the Fun and Laughter EP in October 2009. While recuperating from a problem with their vocal cords, Powell wrote Land of Talk's third album Cloak and Cipher. Released in August 2010, it featured contributions from members of Stars, Arcade Fire, and the Besnard Lakes.

Following Cloak and Cipher's release, Land of Talk went on an extended break provoked by exhaustion, lost demos, and family illness. In April of 2015, Powell played their first show in four years at Orilla, Ontario's Roots North Music Festival. Several Land of Talk shows in 2016 led up to the May 2017 release of Life After Youth, an album inspired by the sounds that aided Powell's father's recovery from a stroke, including ambient, classical, and the tonkori, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument. Produced by John Agnello, the album found Wheaton and McCarron returning to the fold, and also counted Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, Sharon Van Etten, and the Besnard Lakes among its contributors. With Land of Talk back in the swing of things, Powell began writing songs for their next album in 2018. In 2019, they appeared on the American Football song "Every Wave to Ever Rise." After an early 2020 tour with Wolf Parade, and the reissue of Powell's 1999 album Belle Époque, Land of Talk returned that July with Indistinct Conversations. An intimate, acoustic-based set, the album was co-produced by the band and recorded in a studio McCarron built in Wheaton's basement. Powell and company expanded on Indistinct Conversations' explorations of complex relationships and childhood trauma with November 2021's Calming Night Partner EP. Land of Talk returned to the studio in mid-2022, with Powell handling production duties and trading guitar for keyboards. The results were October 2023's Performances, a collection of long-gestating expressions of Powell's non-binary identity and rejection of people-pleasing behavior.

Some Are Lakes

Yuppy Flu

Father thought
How you threw the horse race
Suffering on the wet one
Laying on the dry day
Oh did you leave it all alone
I'm your electric heater
How could you leave it all alone
'Cause now we got a bleeder

Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me
Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me

Father thought
How you threw the horse race
It's all because of water
Pissing on the Earth's face
Oh did you leave it all alone
I'm elective leader
How could you leave it all alone
'Cause now we got a bleeder

Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me
Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me

Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me
Are you seeing your own death
And selling it to me
Well, you're seeing your own death
And selling it to me
Stop seeing your own death
And selling it to me

Death by Fire

Giving up a life worth leading tears us down
And no surprise, the coldest eyes never found
Giving up a life worth living kills us all
The longest time, the longest line that took all

Live your life in sacrifice is what you did
And I don't think a rose or "Raise a toast" seems to fit
I still get scared of fate, and interstate, and death by fire
It's just the longest time, longest line of heart's desire

Didn't I tell you there was no such thing as a bad, bad day
And baby, even if there was, I wouldn't believe it anyway

One poison, two poison, three boys and it's not a known for sure
It's just the cold, the eyes, and no surprises, that's not pure
Oh I still get scared of fate, and interstate, and death by fire
It's just the longest time, longest line of heart's desire

Didn't I tell you there was no such thing as a bad, bad day
And baby, even if there was, I wouldn't believe it anyway

The Man Who Breaks Things (Dark Shuffle)

He said it's time for the now
Is it time
It's a bet I disbelieve

And the worst, the sad stroke
And the crowd and the smoke
They may be twenty-three

Breath-bated gnawing
Was barely worth drawing
'Cause I made up my misses
But you'll always be the man who breaks things

Since when does soul of the song
Does the cracks in the wall
Then build a sadder world
Do the meek, dirty friends
Will they see with a glimpse
And come and soften her

Breath-bated gnawing
Was barely worth drawing
'Cause I made up my misses
But you'll always be the man who breaks things

Some Are Lakes

Started at a summer lake
A sentence and a name
If only for a moment's sake
We called it and it came

Held it down, the loving heat
Longer than a while
Held it down, the loving heat
Softer than a chime

We've seen how sick wind blows
But I've got your bovine eyes
And I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die

We've seen how sick wind blows
But I've got your bovine eyes
And I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die

Shot the rats and as they ran
From the quarry to the tracks
Chased them as you gave your hand
And never took it back
Held it up and felt the wind
Blow and miss a chime
Found a god and begged at him
To fight your body cry

We've seen how sick wind blows
But I've got your bovine eyes
And I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die

We've seen how sick wind blows
But I've got your bovine eyes
And I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die

I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder
I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder
I relate, kid, but I'm the one who wants to let you wonder

We've seen how sick wind blows
But I've got your bovine eyes
And I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die
I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die
Oh I'll love you like I love you
Then I'll die

Give Me Back My Heart Attack

Does this not take
Got any paper
Chasses et damer
Give you ladies exercise
It's stolen light
No one betrayed you
But sleeping without a key
Only fox can wake your world

Does this not take
If I could old school
Leave it on the line
Give you ladies exercise
It's stolen light
No one betrayed you
But sleeping without a key
Only fox can wake your world

So sad this won't kill you
Tonight I sleep in the car
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog
So sad this won't kill you
Tonight I sleep in the car
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog

Does this not take
Got any paper
Chasses et damer
Give you ladies exercise
It's stolen light
Okay, I betrayed you
But sleeping without a key
Only fox can wake your world

So sad this won't kill you
Tonight I sleep in the car
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog
So sad, so sad
Tonight I sleep in the car
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog
I release you, I'm a girl
When it's cold out, I'm a dog

It's Okay

It's okay
I don't even cry
All I think about
Is a memory
In the dream
When you kiss my arm
As I look away
Don't hear what I say

That maybe when I die
I get to be a car
Driving in the night
Lighting up the dark
Something in your voice
Sparks a little hope
I'll wait up for that noise
Your voice becomes my home

Roam around
Don't care what I find
A little thunder's good
Thought maybe you would
But it's okay
We all feel left out
Sometimes growing up
It can get you down

I give you something that no one's gonna give you
My sleeping skin and my heart deep down in you
I'll never tell you, but you're my little scar
Goodbyes are hard and they're hard and they're hard

Maybe when I die
I get to be a car
Driving in the night
Lighting up the dark
Something in your voice
Sparks a little hope
I'll wait up for that noise
Your voice becomes my home

Young Bridge

Wine is lovely
But it's making my legs shake
Sad and stoned
Let it stay alone
'Cause we belong to live right
Though it's riding our own strength
Where were we when these souls had eyes

'Cause you're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right
You're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right

And there's no light underneath you, underneath you
No, there's no light underneath you, underneath you

How long to live right
When it's right at our arms' length
Sad and stoned
Let it stay a lone
'Cause we belong to live right
Though it's right at our arms' length
All the love receded all my money's gone

'Cause you're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right
Yeah you're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right

And there's no light underneath you, underneath you
Oh there's no light underneath you, underneath you

I just want my money to say
I just want my money to say
I just want my money to say
It will never leave so suddenly again

'Cause you're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right
Yeah you're a street angel, house devil
Leading so right

And there's no light underneath you, underneath you
Oh there's no light underneath you, underneath you
Ah there's no light underneath you, underneath you
And there's no light underneath you, underneath you

Corner Phone

She wears a key
He wears an axe
Sky shifts from light
They float on their backs
Then it leapt from the woods
And bit through the bone

How to die, how to die, how to die
How to die, how to die, how to die

It's great ending
And it's only slowly
Slow down, let it slow down
'Cause it seems to me that it's all money
Let it slow down, let it slow down

Out at the pass
Sets on deer
Runs fast as fast
'Til it's safe in the clear
But it leapt from the woods
And bit through the bone

How to die, how to die, how to die
How to die, how to die, how to die

It's great ending
Slow down, let it slow down
Let it slow down
'Cause it seems to me that it's all money
Let it slow down, let it slow down

Got a Call

Got a call
The one I've been waiting for
In the middle of the night
Said I know what you do and know it's the same to you
Can't keep down a girl who loves music

In the darkness, dance to the dial tone
As I sing myself to sleep
The most beauty I've seen
Lives in a dream
Where we laugh and love to live for the little things

Not even if I could
Get you back, I don't try
You weren't all that good
But I loved you like you were mine
Here's the only thing
I keep it like a secret
Although it always rains
A billion hearts stop bleeding

It's alone
And no one knows how to feel
And I party all the time
Yeah I know how to kill
But I hate how it feels
That everyone's in love with someone else

And even if I could
Get you back, I don't try
You weren't all that good
But I loved you like you were mine
Here's the only thing
I keep it like a secret
Although it always rains
A billion hearts stop bleeding

Even if I could
Get you back, I don't try
You weren't all that good
But I loved you like you were mine
Here's the only thing
I keep it like a secret
Although it always rains
A billion hearts stop bleeding

Troubled

Freedom to finally taste all that I have been chasing
And now that it's here
Not amused, dear, at just how much time I'm wasting
But the nights we stayed up all too late
The red and white stripes, they would blend
Them warm, washed-out lips
Ripped magazines to you
Is all I could send

Troubled heart folded
And devil right over
Mon coeur, c'est fort
Perdu tout pouvoir

Avec moi, avec toi, avec coeur
Avec un et c'est pris
Nos têtes, nos langues
Nos oreilles étaient toujours remplies
Mais les histores et chansons
De la perte d'innocence
M'ont tellement hanté
Que j'ai remis mes mains dans mes poches
Et ma langue dans ma propre tête

Troubled heart folded
And devil right over
Mon coeur, c'est fort
Perdu tout pouvoir

Make wrong things right
You get down to the level
'Cause bad things just aren't
Bigger than you

Cloak and Cipher

Cloak and Cipher

Oh my God
I like that

Light it leaks through
Make my day
Know all you love
It lacks soul
And all of the candle may catch
What you can use

I just saw you
Rhythm, I tried
It would take you only a while
And to take it suddenly fair
It won't do

Why'd you say you what up and went
Lied to kid you when you said send
Though meanwhile that soft hate
It was true

Never saw you live in that call
Looking back and write on the wall
Did you think it would beat this heart well
String it through

Loose choir
Unsteady on the stage
What you lovest well remains
Loose choir
Love it well and it will stay

I won't redeem another
Lose that
I won't redeem another
Lose that
I won't redeem another
Lose that
Lean on the need

And I know you never know quite
How it feels I've opened the night
It's enough that connections aren't when
It was true

I just saw you
Rhythm, I tried
It would take you only a while
And to take it suddenly fair
It won't do

Never saw you live in that call
Looking back and write on the wall
Did you think it would beat this heart well
String it through

Loose choir
Unsteady on the stage
What you lovest well remains
Loose choir
Love it well and it will stay

I won't redeem another
Lose that
I won't redeem another
Lose that
I won't redeem another
Lose that
Lean on the need

Goaltime Exposure

First of all
It leaves a bad ache
So I choose good
Good things to think on

There we were, heaven sent
Look for lights anywhere
Bleed this out, deviled soul
Look at what doesn't care

Please in me, make me well
Make me well, make me well
This seed in me hasn't set
Heaven sent only shell

I keep my cold eye locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
For all the cold that kept it down
Its ring is hard earned
I keep my cold eyes locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
When it's deepest in the ground
It's ringing harder than the bells do

Do it enough
Out of good, bad
Always in awe
And nearly savoring
Please me out when I'm want
Looks a lot, doesn't need it
Bleed this out, deviled soul
Suddenly it's hard to see it

Please in me, make me well
Make me well, make me well
This seed in me hasn't set
Heaven sent only shell

I keep my cold eye locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
For all the cold that kept it down
Its ring is hard earned
I keep my cold eyes locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
When it's deepest in the ground
It's ringing harder than the bells do

I keep my cold eye locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
For all the cold that kept it down
It's ringing harder than the bells do
I keep my cold eye locked in a different place
I did it well, I did it for you
When it's deepest in the ground
It's ringing harder than the bells do
It's ringing harder than the bells do
It's ringing harder than the bells do

Quarry Hymns

Leave it on the hottest day
To sink this quarry under
What the murder on the pride would bring
Lion, crow, your kingdom
Loaded in the stone heart
I couldn't keep the woods in you
You had to learn about the hardest things
The softest side would leave you

And on days like these
I could take apart my window
So let down
I was so let down

How deep is this soul I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it

In the least of the lighted
Eyes was on a roll
And the deep and the sweet hearth
I couldn't keep the word in you
You can draw it in and draw it back
Pull the past behind you
You wanna leave, I got it back
You can draw it in and draw it back

How deep is this soul I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it

Lately little love could call
And get in my way
Maybe we could draw this out
Of our dark display
Lately little love could call
And get in my way
Maybe we could draw this out
Of our dark display

How deep is this soul I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it
How deep is this hole I feel I'm in
Seen a lot of light and done a lot with it

Color Me Badd

How long should anyone wait to be believed
Lord knows that all this time was on me
You say we gave our hands too soon
But, darling, what made my life was you

Where did my body go
Where did I leave it
Where did I leave it
Where did my body go
Where did I leave it
Where did I leave it

She was your splitting light
She was your deafening
She was your dream
She was your splitting light
She was your deafening
She was your dream

Get out of need
And slink past the ocean
Bother to breathe
Call it devotion

You say we gave our hands too soon
But, darling, what made my life was you

Where did my body go
Where did I leave it
Where did I leave it
Where did my body go
Where did I leave it
Where did I leave it

She was your splitting light
She was your deafening
She was your dream
She was your splitting light
She was your deafening
She was your dream

The Hate I Won't Commit

Soothsayer, I do not adore
The voices or flight of birds
And now all them wooden, a boy or a girl
They'll fail away, full stop

Lightning and snow
Cracks and slivers
Burned in a row

Do not pretend that you do not love the war
I've seen you fight and fall on your sword
Blame us not for waiting
Just has little cause
I've seen you fight

See the breast, see the brain
See the lung, see the stomach
Cut from the same fur

It's winsome and then
By feeling
The devil makes in

Hamburg, Noon

Let's see it move
Send all that matters
Light it so hot
I thought you wouldn't need it

In a room across from the sky
All the drifters at hand
The seldom would get anger

I'm in the room selling
No matter what you take
I'm into hearing you say
I wanna see you

Whoever ran with it
It wasn't what you said
I wouldn't stop at a lie
I wouldn't see you

I wasn't following you
I wasn't following you
I wasn't following you

Stone now laid
They'd've never known you
Now they look away
Bring it down before you

Trying to sugar my wave
Wait until they call you
Level, don't you cave
Life it does disown you

Let's see you choose
See all that shatters
Felt it so hot
I thought you wouldn't need it

In a crew, on a ship with no name
At the sight of your lips
My blood is shouted sink me

Whoever ran with it
It wasn't what you said
I wouldn't stop at a lie
I wouldn't see you

And I don't mind the slaves of it
It wasn't what they bought
Whoever said you were mine
They didn't need you

I wasn't following you
I wasn't following you
I wasn't following you

Stone now laid
They'd've never known you
Now they look away
Bring it down before you

Trying to sugar my wave
Wait until they call you
Level, don't you cave
Life it does disown you

Blangee Blee

You pull it to the right
And I bring it back to center
I blame it on your pride
And you blame it on my temper

Standing on the skin of a cell, it was sickle
For me it was over the coroner, the cripple

We spend our lives making out riddles
Oh to give so much, got me so little
We spend our lives making out riddles
Oh to give so much, got me so little

For all that was said
I believe it wasn't spoken
You sang it to the wall
But the tune it wasn't holding

My guess it wasn't bound to the spine, to the spindle
For all I led you from, I'm the coroner, the cripple

We spend our lives making out riddles
Oh to give so much, got me so little
We spend our lives making out riddles
Oh to give so much, got me so little
We spend our lives making out riddles
Oh to give so much, got me so little

Playita

I had to break from breath of stone
Would have been cold and happy then
But to break it from its mould
It lacked the long and wavering

Leave it a stain, my second chance
Bleaches it cold, not happy then
And to turn it to his home
The lover we were torn from

Stay with it on second hand
Bring it back to one night
Gets outta line
Leave with it
Don't be a better man
No harm'll come from thee
Wasn't happy with it

Stay with it on second hand
Bring it back to one night
We'll save for it
Leave with it
Don't be a better man
No harm'll come to thee
Wasn't happy with it

I had to break from breath of stone
Would have been cold, unhappy then
But to break it from its mould
To lack the long unwavering

Lean on a stand, my second chance
Even it's old and happy then
And to take it from his home
The lover we were torn from

Stay with it on second hand
Bring it back to one night
Gets outta line
Leave with it
Don't be a better man
No harm'll come from thee
Wasn't happy with it

Stay with it on second hand
Bring it back to one night
Gets outta line
Leave with it
Don't be a better man
No harm'll come from thee
Wasn't happy with it

The lover we were torn from
The lover we were torn from
The lover we were torn from
The lover we were

Better and Closer

We believed throughout the peril
We relied on all we were
Me, I'm tired and low and deviled
Leave the veil out
Least it's sure

Oh I'm near you
Couldn't be far
I'm near you
Oh I'm near you
Wouldn't be far
I'm here

Me, a child, a bow, an arrow
Gray the hand the home we played
Weeks would die and fall behind us
Leaves, the lights
And stayed the same

Oh I'm near you
Couldn't be far
I'm near you
Oh I'm near you
Couldn't be far
I'm near you
Oh I'm near you
Couldn't be far
I'm near you
Oh I'm near you
Wouldn't be far
I'm here

Life After Youth

Yes You Were

Yes, you were
You were on my mind
Don't know how to distance
I can't leave you behind
Made my way, understand me
Made it with my feeling
Just as you have me

Seaside
We only celebrate these worldly complications
And she said
"We're only showing off for the younger generation"
I know it's safe in you
I know it's safe in you

Yes, you were
You were on my mind
Saving all my feelings
Couldn't spend them right
Gone away without ending
We've become undone
Some things never stay
We've become undone
Some things never change

Seaside
We only celebrate these worldly complications
And she said
"We're only showing off for the younger generation"
I know it's safe in you
I know it's safe in you

This Time

I don't wanna waste it this time
And see fate as the end of me
I don't wanna waste it, my life
And know it was in front of me

Together we rock, together we roll
Fighting ourselves is taking its toll
Hear it on the cold wind of this town
I'm never going back, that's a lonely road

I made it, it started
I can't stop it, oh no
I will wait for you to call me out, me out
It's not a need nor a want
Living with its hands out
Would have stayed there alone
I can't go back no more

I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know

I don't wanna waste it this time
Do you see the fate, that's the end of me
I don't wanna waste it, my life
To think it was in front of me

Together we laugh, the memory low
Fighting ourselves, the phases were slow
'Cause I don't wanna waste any of this time
The body's still wasted
The body's still wasted

I made it, it started
I can't stop it, oh no
I will wait for you to call me out, me out
It's not a need nor a want
Living with its hands out
Would have stayed there alone
I can't go back no more

I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know what you want
(I don't know what you want)
I believe I don't know

I don't wanna waste it this time
I don't wanna waste it, my life
I don't wanna waste it this time
I don't wanna waste it, my life

Loving

I've been meaning to forget you
And God knows just what that means
Even so I try to get through
Even lonely in my dreams

Now and then I like to get around
Now that you're alone, don't you live here
Someone's lies that just get better
There's that song

Touch it, but I feel it
It's gonna get worse
Don't say you live here
Don't let it get cursed

I've been living like I'm locked out
I can see the midnight skies
Sometimes love it would sustain you
Only if you're on my side

Now and then I like to kid around
Some might say I just don't let up
Life's not long, why don't you live it
There's that song

Touch it, but I feel it
It's gonna get worse
Don't say you live here
Don't let it get cursed

Touch it, but I feel it
It's gonna get worse
You know you don't live here
Won't let it get cursed
Touch your body

Touch it, but I feel it
Touch it, but I feel it
Touch it, but I feel it
Touch it, but I feel it

What Was I Thinking

Yeah you're with anyone
Who won't remind weakness
Now you're with anyone
Her handed-down feeling

Waited for my daughter
And loved her on weekends
Yeah you'd say anything
And what was I thinking
What was I thinking

I don't taste any blood
Not without bleeding
I see that's all that was
But what was I thinking

Waited for my daughter
And loved her on weekends
I'll get back all that was
And what was I thinking

What's the worth battling
Consider it's meaning
We pass along this life
With handed-down feelings

Pain is for my daughter
And fair is the reason
Where's the fair in this fight
And what was I thinking
What was I thinking

Spiritual Intimidation

God, as my witness and my friend
How do you explain these solitary inclinations
Such as my freedom has no end
Life it slips by, it rushes past and then it's over

How you gonna live, how you gonna live
How you gonna live if you can't love
How you gonna live if you can't love

Lean in and listen
No one innocent
Here lies nothing
No way
That was the best of it

Come in here with a look in your eyes
No, that's fine, you warm me up, we talk of old times
And you don't know, you have no idea
What's going on in this sick, sick, sick imagination

How am I gonna live, how am I gonna live
How am I gonna live if I can't love
I don't want to live if I can't love

Lean in and listen
No one innocent
Here lies nothing
No way
That was the best of it

Lean in and listen
No one innocent
Here lies nothing
No way
That was the best of it

Heartcore

The trick I tried is to stay inside this thicket
The trouble I find, can't leave behind what's wicked
Let's just say you'll do, you only got two and what's eating
The trouble is sometimes knowing which one you're feeding
Know which one you're feeding

In this heart of hearts, I'd open a life
I don't know what I don't know about anyway
Even though we would've been true
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts

The skin I tried to stay inside has thickened
The trouble I find I leave behind is wicked
Just to pay your due, won't get you through my ceiling
The trouble is some don't know which one they're feeling
Now which one are you fearing
Now which one are you fearing

In my heart of hearts, I'd open a life
I don't know, I don't know if I let you in
If you will ever be true
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts

In my heart of hearts, I'd open a life
I don't know, I don't know if I let you in
If you will ever be true
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts
Heart of hearts, heart of hearts

Inner Lover

Take care of me
Whose side you always own
And bring sound sleep
The wind undoes me
Pulls me past
The way you hold me
Brings me back

Take care of me
Whose heart you always own
And lay simply
Where I didn't die
I free my back
The weight it loves me
Owes nothing
Feeling here is free

You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
On me

You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
On me

Take care of me
Who saw your war winds won
And stayed soundly
When alone I feel no pain
The way you hold me
Brings me back

You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
On me

You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
Your light is lonely
You light it slowly
On me

Feeling here is free

World Made

Was it something unsaid
It's getting cold out
Well, I'm nervous 'til I find your face
Anywhere I go
Aim, it gets physical

Was it something undid
I'm taking four hours
But I'll never fall out of fate
Everywhere I go
Aim, it gets physical

Oh I'm in need, depending
I will wait up for you call me out
I will warn everyone out there
Honestly, you wanna find me

Tell me what you need and I'll see you get by
I was wrong, I hurt you
Pick me, pick me and I'll swear it will be right
Lay it on, I've hurt you

Was it something I said
I'd fade away the hours
Though I never fought allowed it
Everywhere I go
It gets physical

Was it something I did
It's getting cold out
But I'll never fall out of faith
Everywhere I go
It gets physical

Oh I'm an independent
I won't wait up for you call me out
I won't warn anyone out there
Honestly, you wanna find me

Tell me what you feel 'cause I need to get by
I was wrong, I hurt you
Pick me, pick me and I'll swear it will be right
Lay it on, I've hurt you

Tell me what you see and the fear you get by
I was wrong, I hurt you
Pick me, pick me and I'll swear it will be right
Lay it on, I hurt you

In Florida

In Florida, I imagined I discovered
A panther on my porch
Singing sideways, close and low
Making fun of
The way you love the moonlight
The way you love the fire
Don't make right these works of God
We lie slowly
And watch TV

And though I care
And there love lies
Consider this good
Consider this right

In Florida, awoke and we were troubled
Afraid it wasn't there
Don't fade out those lights so low
In hopes that our sentinel, the panther
Who fled what was not fair
Don't make right these works of good
We lie slowly
And watch TV

And though I care
And there love lies
Consider this good
Consider this right
In Florida

Macabre

Slow down, you move too fast
Never liked you working so hard
The devil's in heat and I
Got your minds made up

Way out along the path
Carry why I love, it's so hard
And now I want a reason why
Way to cut us out
Way to cut us out

If it wasn't for this life, I would leave it
But oh I'd miss the sky and the sea
Damage to my eyes, I won't see it
Don't know what you're missing and me

Don't know what you
Don't know what you
Don't know what you
Don't know what you

Oh I'd miss the sky and the sea
Damage to my eyes, I won't see it
Don't know what you're missing
Don't know what you're missing

I try to say these words
Leave it to the rumours at best
I'm never gonna feel and I
I want a mind made up

If it wasn't for this life, I would leave it
But oh I'd miss the sky and the sea
Damage to my eyes, I won't see it
Don't know what you're missing and me

Don't know what you
Don't know what you
Don't know what you
Don't know what you

Oh I'd miss the sky and the sea
Damage to my eyes, I won't see it
Don't know what you're missing
Don't know what you're missing

Indistinct Conversations

Diaphanous

Please, be diaphanous
I only wanna be the half of us
Our fifth star has just begun
We were spending our money
We were having fun

Hey now, I know not enough
I was caught up in the wrong stuff
Yeah I know not enough
I was caught up in the wrong stuff
But I have to laugh

So it was a rough night, it is Montréal
Did I win you over
Yeah it was a rough night with every sin
Did I win you over

Hey, I know it's not enough
I get caught up in the wrong stuff
Physical is the road
I get caught up in the wrong stuff
And I have to laugh
I get a bad wrap
And I have to laugh
Say it now, "Not enough"
I get caught up in the wrong stuff

Look to You (Intro)

We won't talk about the ending
I look to you, you look my way
I look to you
I look to you, you look my way
I look to you

On that day, you're all I feel
When you're shaking and I've been right
You say you wanna pass me by
And I need it like it was time

I look to you, you look my way
They won't say about the ending
Feel the fire on my feet
Oh great.
Away

Oh nice.
Kind of a test.
And I said, and then I said
"Oh Mr. ?, you're right."
And maybe I'll ? this witch.
I don't know, 'cause I have a little bit of a...
I don't know.

Look to You

Well, it suits you like it's for you
It suits you like a sign
And it fits you like a fortune
Oh what's mine
And I can't do this without you
But I can't do this with you
And I lead you like I'm for you
Open-eyed

I look to you, you look my way
They're not seeing what you're sending
Bad the sun, it was in days
It was a lot like that
Baby, like it wasn't fire
That I started with my eyes
That was just a moving line
Whenever love moved in

It suits you like a call-out
I warned you under warm light
From anyone to anyone, from anyone to anyone
This was your last fantasy
It tricks you, yeah, it's wild life
It warms you in its warm light
Turn around, turn around, turn around, turn around
This was your last fantasy

Weight of That Weekend

Said, "Fuck you, Debbie."

Always come at me from a different angle
Make me think I don't understand
How I'm feeling
'Til the feeling that I get out of hand

Visible only 'til the furthest fountain
Acting like I never got scared
Would I feel it
I never wanna be ill-prepared

Always tired, I'm trying to get back something
Shit just got so real
I wanna ride
I wanna die on that field

Physical way of night-facing partner
Eyes wide, I let it go too soon
Now I feel it
Sit with it while I wait by the moon

'Cause I'm not sleeping
The weight of that weekend
As long as I'm breathing
This is a prayer for love

Holy water
House of pain
Come through slaughter
To swim again
Holy water
House of pain
Wanna heal from slaughter
And swim again

'Cause I'm not sleeping
The weight of that weekend
As long as I'm dreaming
This is a prayer for love
This is a prayer for love
This is a prayer for love
'Cause I'm not sleeping

Love in 2 Stages

Was around tide
At night, you'd see it
Wasn't my fear
That is not there
It wasn't my fear
'Cause I dig deep
Why don't you
I dig deep
Why don't you

It was a rager
Idle night now
Wouldn't look in
Wouldn't look into your eyes
I wanna feel
Understand
Why don't you
I dig deep
Why don't you

'Cause I love in two stages
There's the eyes
There's the quarter drop
Yeah I love in two stages
I love in two
Yeah I love in two stages
There's a kiss
There's a quarter drop
Would I lie
Who's afraid, you

It's around tide
At night, you'd see it
It wasn't my fear
It is not there
It was never my fear
'Cause I dig deep
Why don't you

'Cause I love in two stages
There's your eyes
There's a quarter drop

Compelled

You see what defeats you
The moment it meets you
You know what it's like
Another sight, another sound
I need to feel you
Compelled to steal you
Away from someone who doesn't
Care if you're around

Don't say I don't feel the attraction
All I feel is the attraction
It's over, man
I feel it like an empty hand

The light that they'd find
The night that they died
It's tough understanding the end
It seems like they tried
All that we tried
Soft understanding
Warm, open-handed

Don't say I don't feel the attraction
All I feel is the attraction
It's over, man
I feel it like an empty hand
There's weights, ides, starts, stallings
And this sudden, sudden, sudden dark romance
I feel this light
You'll understand

I need to feel you
Compelled to steal you
Away from someone

Footnotes

Send your lover on a run
Have a cigarette and call me back
Seems I'm having all the fun
I love it how you know my pain
In around, I've been around the sad
And stopped to know you still
Come on, tell me your psychotic thoughts
Calm you down, you know I will

Night after night
I'll be there
Yeah I'll be there
Night after night
You know I will

We come at it alone
But we can't quite face it
Get lost in a dream
Now we can't escape it
Know this ice was once warm water
My baby, she don't wanna know me
Yeah my baby, she don't wanna know me now

Night after night
I'll be there
Yeah I'll be there
Night after night
I said I would

A/B Futures

Screensaver.
What?
The screensaver, when the screensaver turns off.
No, I was looking at that.

I'm an addict
I'm an addict
I'm an addict

I'm an addict
And I say this to myself
I'm your future lover
There's me, there's no one else
You need someone to care for
Hey, make that me
And I don't mind trouble

There's a static
I wanna see light getting far
Oh get rid of the sound and
Gimme something more like a beating heart
I need something to care for
Hey, make that me you're after
And I don't mind trouble

'Cause if the spirit won't come to me
I go to it
If the spirit won't come to me
I go to it
I go to it

Let's take to this to the side stairs
Let's take to this

Let's take to this to the side stairs
Where you favored me once
Ah take my silhouette as self-light
Don't make it disappear
I want it near, something to care for
Hey, make that me you're after
And I don't mind trouble

Festivals

Sundown, you're magnificent
Cuss aloud in murdering snow
Wet skin, it was all a win
Use the sound and then let it soak
In around, silent light
Sudden feel
It's the way it works
It's the way it was
You like
You like

If your mouth is a festival
There's a song in the way you speak
But around town
It's the weight of words
'Cause I'm down in that sea
Every light made of stone
Weight of stone
"You're just a wildcard"

It's the weight of words
It's the weight of words

It's the weight of words
Words, words, words...

Now You Want to Live in the Light

Coulda rolled all night in this hot country
Take a deep breath and you reach out to me
To live my life, it'll always be
Take a deep breath and you reach out to me

Light starts to fade
You wanna back down
Why's it feel so good to get out

Gonna live my life in this hot country
Take a deep breath and you reach out to me

'Cause a light starts to fade
You wanna back down
Why's it feel so good to get out
'Cause a light starts to fade
'Cause a light starts to fade

Baby, why you wanna live in the light
Fuck it, no problem, it's just it took so long to disappear
Inside love-light
Quiet, unlike this path I'm riding, these thoughts disappear
You don't understand, do you
Lately, take a look around, I'm not here for them
I'm not gonna lie
Have I lost the feeling
What's wrong with me

PerformanceS

Your Beautiful Self

Were you all but wished out
Western lights are open
Hey, you want a long life
Some they want to test it
Our late to love is
Someday we want to be out
These under-cared eyes
Who know what's on the table

Were you on a mission
Kissing at the water
Live inside of reason
Whose colour dyes the ocean
Fly in the bay breeze
You sea, you salt, you everywherе
In this favourite warning
But I don't tell, I just like thе distance
'Cause maybe you feel bad about yourself
Maybe, maybe you're free just like the ocean

Take a rogue step, pick up lightly
Make it so that it may be seen
Hopeful I, I want to hopefully
Just stay on my side
The way you sulk around town
No one likes it
Run in the sea in the morning light
If I believed, I could just say
Take a deep breath, let it out
Show the love in

Spent so much time on fire
Baby, I've gotten tired
And in this favourite warning
But I don't tell, I just like the distance
'Cause maybe you feel bad about yourself
And maybe, maybe you're free just like the ocean

Take a rogue step, pick up lightly
Make it so that it may be found
If it works out, then it works out
Unknown, was it shown
The way you sulk around town
No one likes it
Run in the sea in the morning light
If I believed, I could just say
Take a deep breath, let it out
Show the love in

Fluorescent Blood

Baby, where did I go wrong
You said you need it
But don't know the rise is slow like the words
You saw me

Baby, where did I go wrong
Anything you needed
'Cause I know you like this song
They keep coming

Baby, where did I go wrong
You think you need it
But don't know the rise is slow like the words
You saw me

Baby, where did I go wrong
Anything you needed
'Cause I know you like this song
They keep coming

Marry It

Faraway out
So I like it
If you like it
Why don't you marry it
Way down
Where you wouldn't want to wait it out
Come around and call
Have a laugh, have a laugh

I'd hold you like a baby
Feel it like amniotic
I didn't notice then
There was a record of a singer
Playing "Don't Love A Lie"
I didn't know
I didn't notice then

Fed, riding
Thought it was a race
It was on
So what you living for
I'm the lucky one now

Skin like no one
There's a cooler life
I'm afraid of no one
It was a ways, a ways away
It was a wave, a wave, a wave

'Cause I miss your laugh around life
Half of us moving on
I didn't notice then
So I don't like my family
Feel it out later on
'Cause I didn't notice then
I didn't notice then

I'd hold you like a baby
Feel it like amniotic
I didn't notice then
???
???
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't notice then

Rainbow Protection

One, two, three, four

They should hold you like a baby
High up on a mountain
Where you like to sing all soft
Days missed undercover

Before you suddenly looked up
Before you suddenly was a dove
And unless you don't know ways this wasn't tell me
But I was not over there
Yeah, it was coming

And I want to see your full eyes
In the sunlight, but I don't
I want a love I don't recognize
This is some need and so I see it through
Would never take mine out on somebody else
I want a love I don't recognize
Set in a soul light inside
This is a stone I can't sink
This is a word I can't sing
I want a love I don't recognize
I want a love I don't recognize
I want a love I don't recognize
I want a love I don't recognize
I want a love I don't recognize

This should hold you like a baby
Never saw your face again
This should hold you like a baby
Never saw your face again

And I want to see your full eyes
In the sunlight, but I don't
I want a love I don't recognize
This is some need and so I see it through
Would never take mine out on somebody else
I want a love I don't recognize
Set in a soul light inside
This is a song I can't sing
This is a world I can't see
I want a love I don't recognize
I want a love I don't recognize

Sitcom

Making more than love
Last thing we want
To leave this dream
Took your light back
Took it right back

Played dead to rights
Fucked up what I said with what I did
Fairness in love
Climb inside and then we fall back in

It's the time of fading sun
I never figured it out
Just something I'm feeling
I never figured it out
Just a touch, a feeling
I never figured it out
Just a touch, a feeling
I never figured it out

Wake up, morning, love
Last thing you want is easy street
I took you like that
Took you like that

I want to hold on like I don't let go
Want to take up all the time, but I learned to stop running
I turned towards you on another way out
Leave while I turn back this breaking little clock

It's the time of fading sun
I never figured it out
Just something I'm feeling
I'll never figure it out
Just a touch, a feeling
I'll never figure it out
Just sit down I'm feeling
I'll never figure it out

Semi-Precious

The sunlight is eating the day
Give that fire something to bite
Just 'cause I don't want to be afraid
Unfulfilled and something ain't right

Precious, I don't think so
Filled the faith of one night of life
Need someone to tell it better
We can fade so somebody sees

I lost and I found myself daily
Make the sunlight hit 'til it sleeps
And now that I feel a lot better
Help yourself to something, you see

Some ways, some ways
There's a certain feeling in a place
These souls made of light, we dеserved it
In ways, in ways
This is something I don't feel anymorе
For the time I'm afraid of
So stay here
Stay here
Stay here
Stay

The sunlight is getting away
Make the fire with something we find
That's the sound of breathing slowly
We can fade so nobody sees

I lost and I found myself daily
Make the sunlight hit 'til it bleeds
And now that I feel a lot better
Help yourself to something, you see

Some ways, some ways
There's a certain feeling in a place
These souls made of light, we deserved it
In ways, in ways
This is something I don't feel anymore
For the time I'm afraid of
Stay here
Stay here
Stay here
Stay here

2 Ships

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Two ships go down off the coast too far
Almost drown off the coast too far
Shaky shoreline keeps you near and far
At the same time don't know where you are

Selling souls on skin, what we undress
The beauty of the swim, what we do best
And that's not why I'm here, to kiss your eyes
Simply to be near, I miss your eyes

It's sexy, it's dirty, disturbing
All I am

Two ships go down off the coast too far
Almost drown off the coast too far
Shaky shoreline keeps you near and far
At the same time don't know where you are

Smelling nature's scent, it makes me mean
And all absence of it, it makes me scream
But that's not why I'm here, to kiss your eyes
It's simply to be near, I miss your eyes

It's sexy, it's dirty, disturbing
All I am

It's creepy, it's creepy, it's creepy...

A Series Of Small Flames

(Fun And Laughter EP)

East eye on the knock out
Marked my better place
Two came down from slaughter
Cold, unsteady
And tuned, tuned to an old flame
Tuned, tuned to an old flame

Hanging from the high beams
Brushed fur backed by gold
Tendered by the one's tongue was the other
And tuned, tuned to a new flame
Tuned, tuned to a new flame

It leaned in above us
It wasn't like a calling
More a code
Seemed it would love us
Colorless the landlight
Then it snowed

Holed up with the hallowed
Lost my better place
One would pen for whom for when
The other wouldn't
I can't mind a manor
Wasted in the ward
I'll come back through slaughter
Cold, but ready
And tuned, tuned to my own flame
Tuned, tuned to my own flame

It leaned in above us
It wasn't like a calling
More a code
Seemed it would love us
Colorless the landlight
Then it snowed

It leaned in above us
It wasn't like a calling
More a code
Seemed it would love us
Colorless the landlight
Then it snowed

Did you feel the landlight
Did you feel the landlight

All My Friends

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

All my friends
Shook it up
And I got trapped in time
And documents
Leading up
So everything was mine

And I won't stop
What happens then
And my heart it closes up
And I won't stop
What happens then
And my heart it closes up

Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out
Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out

Hustling leaves me white-hot
Blue in the face
Eyes bloodshot
Shock shifting sound
Loving is so easy
Figure it out

And I did wrong
Go on and leave me now
And here I thought
I'd changed
But I can be so bad
Ooh and how
Did bad get such a range

And I won't stop
What happens then
And my heart it closes up
And I won't stop
What happens then
And my heart it closes up

Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out
Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out

Hustling leaves me white-hot
Blue in the face
Eyes bloodshot
Shock shifting sound
Loving is so easy
Figure it out

Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out
Fucking around
Pretending there's a problem
Figure it out

Hustling leaves me white-hot
Blue in the face
Eyes bloodshot
Shock shifting sound
Loving is so easy
Figure it out

Gold
Now
You're leaving something out
Like when we leave
It's more than just a cloud
It's eating me
I'm living at the station
What to be
It's never rolling in
And it sucks so bad

It's not hard
It's not free
It takes time to see

Gold
Now
We're leaving something out
Like when you leave
It's more than just a cloud
One, two, three
I'm living at the station
What to be
It's never rolling in and it sucks away

It's not hard
It's not free
It takes time to see

Hands out
Lights out, you got it
And it still wastes your time
Lights out, you got it

It's not hard
It's not free
It takes time to see

It's jet black
It breaks backs
It's not coming back

Calming Night Partner

(Calming Night Partner EP)

Was it a calming night partner
Did you laugh 'til the sun writes the sky
Was it a knife fight
Was it a lifetime
Did she wear you down, wear you in
Sacrificial
Did she tear you right down the middle
And in the right way
Does she ever call you

I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
Walk me outside, babe
It's more than I can hold
Sweet isolation

So close your eyes
We like it like that
Did we do the right thing
Did we say the wrong line

Whenever I feel locked out, come back
Whenever I see you look down, not looking up
Take it easy
I just wanna hold you

I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
Nothing like letting go
With nothing left to hold
Sweet isolation

Was it a calming night partner
Did you dance 'til the dawn lights the night
Was it a knife fight
Was it a lifetime
Did she pull you in, wear you down
Sacrificial
And tear you right down the middle
And in God's view
Does she ever call you

I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
And on my side
The one is listening
I'll have a hidden hold

I wanna wake with silver
I wanna wake with gold
And on my side
The one is listening
I'll have a hidden hold
Sweet isolation

Dark Nature Places

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

How does that fucker feel
Without feeling
Love will win out
Said a losing man

Waited outside for real
It wasn't saddening
How could this be happening

Give me some rain
Oh the lonely appeal
Oh I will not read it
Time is holding me

Give me some prayer
Oh the role appears
I will not read it
Time's a safe home

How does that fucker feel
It wasn't feeling
Wrote her whits out
When it was unsaid
And now we're seeing where we're real
It wasn't saddening
How can this be happening

Give me some rain
Oh the lonely feel
Oh I will not read it
The time is holding

Give me some prayer
All the low lights, dear
Oh I will not read it
The time is holding me near

???
Hold my head in shame
???
Hold my head in shame
???
Hold my head in shame

Oh the soul deserving
Oh I will not read it
The time is holding me
Give me some blame
All we need to live it
I will not read it
This time was the same

Leave Life Alone

(Calming Night Partner EP)

I'll leave life
I'll leave life
I'll leave life alone

I'll leave life
I guess I'll leave this life
I'll leave life alone

I'll leave life
I'll leave life
I'll leave this life alone

I'll leave life
I think it's best to leave this life
I'll leave life alone

Living like I'm dreaming
Like I'm seeing it all
Living like I'm dreaming

I'll leave life
I think it's best to leave life
Put it down and leave this life alone

Her eyes were wide
Her eyes were hope
Her eyes were love
Her eyes were listening to the earth
They set aside, nothing else

Her eyes were wide
Her eyes were hope
Her eyes were love
Her eyes were listening to the earth
They set aside, nothing else

Living like I'm dreaming
Like I'm seeing it all
Living like I'm dreaming

Magnetic Hill

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Lucky for me to think
This only happens one time
We got along more or less
Life's long, can't tell

I pick it up there
'Cause I want it and I want it that bad
I need help with direction
Leave it alone, dear
You see, it comes back
Come back

We need like a song
And that's not all
We need like a friend
Who won't push us around
Party in the danger
Licking off the way we were

And that's a lonely line
You said in sign
I don't want the cause
And I can't keep the cause

Shock, shift and shake off
And bid the last/first farewell
We got along more or less
Life's long, can't tell

I pick it up there
'Cause I want it and I want it that bad
I need help with direction
Leave it alone, dear
You see, it comes back
Come back

We need like a song
And that's not all
We need like a friend
Who won't push us around
Party in the danger
Licking off the way we were

And that's a lonely line
I said in sign
I don't want the cause
And I can't keep the cause

We need like a song
And that's not all
We need like a friend
Who won't push us around
Party in the danger
Licking off the way we were

And that's a lonely line
I said in sign
I don't want the cause
And I don't need the cause

May You Never

(Fun And Laughter EP)

You were my sister
We slept in the same wet town
A well wish of winter
Whose name we could not live down

Leave it unmapped
Just conquer less of my mind
Visions on visions
Blinding me over time

Way down, what are you saying now
I won't go missing out on your river
Way down, what are you saying now
I won't go missing out on your river

You were my sister
We slept in the same wet town
A well wish of winter
Whose name we could not live down

Way down, what are you saying now
I won't go missing out on your river
Way down, what are you saying now
I won't go missing out on your, out on your

Moment Feed

(Calming Night Partner EP)

Don't you wanna hear my body talk
Don't you wanna feel that noise
Safety was a home between us
That I feel that choice
I was walking on sunshine
I was walking on sunshine
I was walking on sunshine
I was walking on sunshine

Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water

You're the only one I care about
Make me wanna leave my faith
Make it so I don't care what I figured out
God, I see your face
I was walking on sunshine
I was walking on sunshine

Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water
Heavy water
Heavy water
Heavy water
Wings wide, heavy water

Sea Foam

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Don't drink when you're tired
Just watch those gems
Catch everything
Like the light

Oh what we'd become
We'd never move
Just lost and loose
Like the light

Hey, hey
As she keys you
As she knees you
You wonder how we could ever get back
Why would we
Stay inside
Stay inside
Scared, locked
We'll never come out

Don't drink when you're tired
Watch those gems
Catch everything
Like the light

Oh what we'd become
We'd never move
Just lost and loose
Like the light

Right
As she keys you
As she needs you
No matter how we could ever get back
Why were we
So close to
Stay inside
Scared, locked
We'll never come out

We never make any money
Why would we try
Bear us away on a wing
On a wing

Why
As she keys you
As she leaves you
No matter how we could ever get back
Why were we
So close to
Stay inside
Scared, locked
We'll never come out
We'll never come out
We'll never come out

Something Will Be Said

(Calming Night Partner EP)

Something will be said
For me it will be true
Now I'm seeing what
I was not giving you
Don't feel like a woman
In your world
Seeing what I was not
Seeing what I was not

I wanna cry out
I need helping, man
I wouldn't mind
Hitch a ride
The sooner I can get into it
Into the night
It keeps pushing me around
What does it want from me
I can never tell
What does it want from me

Something will be said
For me it will be true
Now I'm seeing what I was not giving you
Don't feel like a woman
In your world
Seeing what I was not
Seeing what I was not

Speak To Me Bones

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Hold aloft
Crystal glass
Light hits
Breaks your face apart
Predatory by design
We know you think what's yours is mine
So much skin, so little time
What'd I see

Holy god
We are just bags of blood
Stop hitting on girls you love
Stop spitting on girls you love

Hold aloft
Crystal glass
Light hits
Breaks your face apart
I love anyone but me
Side-tripping suddenly
It's all in who you see
Endlessly

Holy god
We are just bags of blood
Stop hitting on girls you love
Stop spitting on girls you love

Holy god
We are just bags of blood
Stop hitting on girls you love
Stop spitting on girls you love

All in all, it's still repeating
The letch fucks the fawn
Stoney eyes never stop bleeding
If you saw what we saw
Snakes out, sex stealing
What about the cause
Not every girl is a nail
You're not a hammer

So what about, what about, what about, what about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about, what about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about, what about right now, right now
What about, what about, what about, what about right now, right now

Street Wheels

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Are we really in a life at all
So something lives
Are we stuck beside it all
Where something lives

Though it dims out of sight
There's a drummer's light
And we never meant to call it off
We just lost the force

And now if they don't fade down to feature
Darkness and wind it wails and it won't
Not likely for death to come between us
Not random for something real

Are we really in a life at all
Something sleeps
And we never meant to call it off
We just lost the force

And now if they don't fade down to feature
Darkness and wind it wails and it won't
Not like we for death to come between us
Not random for something real

Are we really in a life at all
'Til something lives
And we never meant to call it off
We just lost the force

And now if they don't fade down to feature
Darkness and wind it wails and it won't
Not likely for death to come between us
Too random for something real

Summer Special

(Applause Cheer Boo Hiss EP)

Isn't summer special, easy hair
Relax, it wasn't locked right
And to sneak in some revenue
Like you thought it'd be easy

Look at those girls
So young, so young
Still piss their pants
Like the hope, dogs mangey
With their hearts, snakes lazy

Isn't summer special, easy hair
Relax, it wasn't locked tight
Would've cased out the avenue
Then to look for it easy

Family's something fixed, that's fine
You can not never move away
Keep in touch if they're listening
If not, then stay away

Hey, that's really hard to say
If I didn't knock it now
I wouldn't knock it then
That's really hard to say
If I didn't knock it then
I wouldn't knock it now

Isn't summer special, easy hair
Relax, it wasn't locked right
Wouldn't case out the revenue
Like you thought it'd be easy

Look at those girls
So young, so young
Still piss their pants
With the hope, dogs mangey
'Cause their hearts, snakes lazy

Hey, that's really hard to say
If I didn't knock it now
I wouldn't knock it then
That's really hard to say
If I didn't knock it now
I wouldn't knock it then

Weighty Ghost

(Wintersleep cover / L'Aventure Acoustique EP)

I got out of bed today
Swear to God I couldn't see my face
I got out of bed today staring at a ghost
Who forgot to float away
Didn't have all that much to say
Wouldn't even tell me his own name
And where'd my body go

Oh where'd my body go
Africa or Mexico
Oh where'd my body go
And where'd my body go

Oh have you seen my ghost
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh have you seen my ghost
Staring at the ground
Oh have you seen my ghost
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh have you seen my ghost
Sick of them goddamn clouds

Are you some kind of medicine man
Cut the demons out of my head
You can't kill a thing that's already dead
So leave my soul alone
I don't need no surgery
Take those knives away from me
Just wanna die in my own body
A ghost just needs a home

Oh have you seen my ghost
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh have you seen my ghost
Staring at the ground
Oh have you seen my ghost
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh have you seen my ghost
Sick of them goddamn clouds
