Think Twice

better than nothing
but not as good as something
unconscious ideas
and sickness has me tumbling
is this really what i want?
think twice and try to keep the front
my ghost is learning how to haunt
is this really what i want?
in my mind it's raining
philosopher-in-training
my own melatonin
worry till it's draining
is this really what i want?
think twice and try to keep the front
my ghost is learning how to haunt
is this really what i want?

Recall

all my friends can think in time in terms of seasons
i just have to get through this week
say ‘it’s hopeless,’ take a deep breath, go with plan c
‘you know it’s harder than you think’
sit down, shut up
take your things, join the club
knock me down, i’m alright
just to get sleep at night
lately i’ve been setting fire to the halls
melting candles in the foyer
like some slow motion free-fall
against the wall, i’m goddamn battered
but i’ll get up, you say ‘that’s cool’
i’m fucking flattered
sit down, shut up
take your things, join the club
knock me down, i’m alright
just to get sleep at night
so go ahead, say all those things you want to say
i was never gonna listen, anyway
sit down, shut up
take your things, join the club
knock me down, i’m alright
just to get sleep at night
can’t recall your face no more
so when you show up at my front door
a semblance of some former self
tries to break through all that frozen shell (at night)
change your face, change your name
play your sick and twisted game
i don’t wish that anymore
i don’t wish that anymore
sit down, shut up
take your things, join the club
knock me down, i’m alright
just to get sleep at night

it’s nothing a walk can’t fix
how did it end up like this?
i’m stuck in your web
i’d stroll with eyes to the ground
my hair’s too long for that now
i’m off to bed
she’ll sing if i want her to
say my name if i want her
won’t go out because i just go back home
better to spend the whole day alone
i’m all torn up
travel by all the same streets again
repetition is my friend
I’m out of luck
she’ll sing if i want her to
say my name if i want her to

Fader

everyone dreams at night
and forgets them in the morning
all your status is forgotten
and you wake up knowing nothing
and when i write my name down
i tie letters together
i choke out all the spaces
because i can’t see any better
(stop)
i can’t count in without fading out
i can’t count in without fading out
i can’t stay here without staying out
i can’t count in without fading out
feel the wind across your hair
on the dock you’re growing up on
street crosswalk closed last summer
and now you don’t know where you came from
i only paint three backdrops
for me to live my life in
seeing red when the door’s open
i can’t keep letting light in
i can’t count in without fading out
i can’t count in without fading out
i can’t stay here without staying out
i can’t count in without fading out

i buy my talent secondhand
so sustainable
and pores on my face are craters
i am the moon
you were my star
you were my star
you were my star
you were
and all my clothes are someone else’s
you know good artists copy
and great artists steal
you were my star
you were my star
you were my star
you were

Homesick
04:53

you left the tv on
(making your escape)
sweat and perfume
(i hope the x’s never fade)
never fade
never fade
press delete and watch
(running out of space)
they grow up so fast
(grow up just the same)
look me in the eyes
tell me i’m okay
comes to no surprise
can’t pronounce its name
comes back to bite me
spot it through the crowd
‘cause i get homesick
thinking about you now
look towards the future
stay stuck in the ground
my roots grow deeper
i’m just like my dad now
just like my dad now
just like my dad now
just like my dad now

Hate The Rain
03:21
|
|||
|
still hate the rain
thoughts that i left out
hang on way too long
across the hall
every other tile
my answer was wrong
a drop of paint
a drop of blood
turn the pages
pick me up
a drop of paint
a drop of blood
wring me out
pick me up
pack up my things
in a dozen months
‘cause it’s tomorrow’s problem
fear the deep end
stay where i can stand
the dead sink to the bottom
a drop of paint
a drop of blood
turn the pages
pick me up
a drop of paint
a drop of blood
wring me out
pick me up

You Were Alone

got taken away
you cried at school again
more dead energy
something else to spend
tattooed your scar and now you’re here
you wish you were alone
sink to the bottom disappear
look for an unknown
you try to tell me something
heard that one from home
it sent me spinning
take it for my own
i stay behind you
you had to go ahead
you want another view
more advice to lend
tattooed your scar and now you’re here
you wish you were alone
sink to the bottom disappear
look for an unknown
you try to tell me something
heard that one from home
it sent me spinning
take it for my own

My Human Truth
01:59

all i knew before december
was a silent kind of rage
strung out around january
in my eyes you haven’t changed
white portrait i painted of you
still without an ornate frame
you know i do it ‘cause i love you
because i know you by name

This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk.
