starlight 04:27
lyrics
buy track
the starlight shines into my eyes sometimes i feel i'm losing my mind the warmth in our hearts surrounds us the love in our lives abounds do i deserve the way you treat me? do i earn somehow these glances into your eyes? i'm the starlight peering inside there's nothing left for either of us to hide to trap our song -- to catch ourselves this is how you touch my heart rain and wind bring night to my mind but the starlight shines into our eyes i've protected myself from failure for too long i've been hiding from my own song would i rather die clutching my fears or set my life free into the night sky?

lyrics
buy track
what's the world gonna say, when you're gone? what is the world gonna remember you for after you're dead and gone? you don't have much time anyways. we don't have much time anyways. and so i goes older in the ways we all know it's a touch of hopelessness and a comfort that comes from the knowledge that life will end and none of this will be remembered no one will remember any of this shit you don't have much time anyway. we don't have much time anyways. what's the world gonna say, when you're gone? what is the world gonna remember you for after you're dead and gone? you don't have much time anyways. we don't have much time anyways.

curiosity 02:52
lyrics
buy track
partially out of curiosity and partially out of respect for the fear that was instilled in me it was for fear, that i climbed aboard beauty chokes my curiosity on my side there's nothing left the snow climbed up to the second story a gnawing hunger was on my breath i will not fall into curiosity two different thoughts at different times instead i'll climb into second-guessing smothering myself inside

you'll never see me again, promise 03:24
lyrics
buy track
i promise that you'll never see me again and i suppose that that's just fine but i feel that i should be different by now you've changed so much and i don't know why i don't think it'll take very long for our friends to see the same change now i find myself being selfish burying deep this feeling that i've been betrayed i'll probably never see you again and i guess we both think that that's just fine after i saw all these changes that you'd made the part of you that was inside of me just died. the you that was inside of me, begged to come out to play. what have you, what have i become? are you feeling as betrayed as i? i'll probably never see you again and i guess we both think that that's just fine after i saw all these changes that you'd made the part of you that was inside of me just died.

my energy, my direction 03:16
lyrics
buy track
a million hours a week float by with small square boxes filling our stomachs when we don't have to feed ourselves what's left for us to do? do i really care? i'll just sleep anyways until my stomach caves in until my desires are flat and weak oh, my energy oh, my direction what will i do at 8 in the morning? lay down these tracks sing in someone else's voice until my fingers hurt and confusion is my guide i'm so confused until my stomach hurts find confusion in my pride i'm so confused oh, my energy oh, my direction a million hours a week float by ...plenty of time to fill our lives

peace on earth 06:01
lyrics
buy track
in this past that i've lost we stopped living life long ago in the days not too far away our chance to live, to be again something cooks our brain there's freedom in these words in a barrel-shaped house that was burnt down long ago it's really an eyepiece and you can see the surface of the moon we'll fight this war there's nothing left to lose in the end, there'll be a struggle between what's really real and me and i don't think we can win now the sky is caving in this must really be the end the moon comes crashing down it too will have a chance to live again there's no brain left to cook there's freedom in this war in the end, there'll be a struggle between what's really real and me and i don't think we can win

let's raise our glass to everything we've lost we probably didn't need any of it anyway let's drink our drinks until our heart stops we probably didn't need it for anything anyway it's probably the last time i'll see this light this was supposed to be my last night i'll drink myself blind just this one more time it's just as miserable to fall as it is to climb

that wasn't cocaine after all 04:46
lyrics
buy track
that wasn't cocaine after all that i was thinking of before when i said a billion people had died and there's bound to be a billion more we've been so serious all night our eyes are red, cracked dry i'm moving slower not fast now and it's surely the first sign that things didn't go as planned in the past and if that was the end of it that'd be fine but that wasn't cocaine after all that we used to make cookies and friends when you invited your future boyfriend over for drinks i could see we were coming to an end we've been serious all night our eyes are red, cracked dry a scraping ray of sunlight keeps suicide at bay for one more night that wasn't cocaine after all that i was thinking of before when i said a billion people had died and there's bound to be a billion more

the opposite of optimism is not pessimism 03:14
lyrics
buy track
i would like just once to sing about happy things it's this life--i don't trust it, and what it brings well i hate fun, that should be obvious by now but i truly believe that in the end we'll work our differences out and i think that everyone is afraid of something and that one thing seems so big and frightening we can't live always second guessing our actions so i have to believe that in the end it'll all work out i feel betrayed by past generations' failures it always seemed to me that they never cared for us but i wonder what the fuck i think i'm doing that makes me think that i am so useful and so profound i would like to sing a few happy songs but if i ignored our every pain and struggle does it demean everything in life we've won? and i truly believe that in the end it'll all work out

lyrics
buy track
i want to give up but i know that i can't, love and i know i will fuck up cause failure's what we're made of we'll we've been profound and it hasn't been working out if i could forget all these lessons i've been taught if i could put back the most important things i would not be afraid i would not be afraid anymore yes we have been scared yeah it isn't working out i envy those days when i was not in control some instinct was guiding me a voice that never spoke yet it always seemed so simple it always seemed so plain to me what i was supposed to do those one million thoughts have stopped me one million times but it isn't working out i want to give up but i know that i can't, love and i know i will fuck up cause failure's what we're made of

are you sleepy? 04:00
lyrics
buy track
are you sleepy? are you tired? are you past the point where you wanna go to bed? so you stay on the couch and you fall asleep instead in my arms. where did we go? don't you want me? are you to the point where you need something else? and we both know that life never gives us what we want in our hearts. all that i wanted. you're all that i needed. but what can you do when the heart just stops loving it's easy for you cause i'm the one with the broken heart. are you sleepy? are you tired? are you past the point where you wanna go to bed? so you stay on the couch and you fall asleep instead in my arms.

fill my brain with fancy cheeses 03:59
lyrics
buy track
i’ve had a lot of potatoes enough for the whole year. oh these potatoes, and fall is nowhere near. yes, i do eat a lot of things, over the course of a year. and i eat a lot of courses. over the course of every meal. give me your meat, your tallow, and more and i will eat, and swallow it, for sure. fill my grave with giblets, and my brain with fancy cheese. i’ll be aged sweet as bourbon, keep me frozen, with frozen peas.

about

what do we know for sure? nothing.

listen, i'm just a guy in my bedroom trying to escape. from what? i dunno, but i think i'm getting closer and closer to it.
so i guess the music sounds like dinosaur jr, xiu xiu, galaxie 500, woods, chad vangaalen, jonathan coulter, maybe some other stuff.
