fallen is the sky
and "wolf" I heard you cry

No poker face cuz I'm not bluffin

"calm the fuck down, meow"
I've never wept at nothing
Hard style yeah that's my function
I've never cried at nothin

amidst the swing of the bat
under the heat of the oven
wondering
why we’re bluffing
boy I need a breather
we all need a breather now
under the tunnel we crept
over the pavement blood rushing
blushing
my hearts crushed in
boy
I need a breather
heavy blows and bruises
surrounded by struggle
uncle
I’m white knuckle
boy I need a breather
we all need a breather now
you started talking backwards
my head started spinning
grinning
evil is winning
strangers cry every day
we all need a breather now
air so thick
just whistle in the dark
more than once
I ask when’s the good part
no nerves of steel
pretending nothings real
kiss me calmly
love on me strongly
what works best
is fucking beyond me
I bang a u-ey
practice charisma
sue me
I’m the truth
oh so truly

look both ways
underneath the lights
you’ve got to be brave
pass rush coming
on the cookie cutter stage
show us what you’ve got
show us that you’re not
afraid
we’re all alone and
afraid
when we’re not home we’re
afraid
unlearning this can have
effects
some good
and some bad
climb inside
let the journey start
she’s a smooth ride
new towns coming
man, you keep a tender heart
show em what you’ve got
show em that you’re not
daring
courageous
will you
please
wander
safely
calm
wholly
completely
there is
love on
the frontier
call
when you
find home

I don’t
I won’t
Ever live
in a gated community
my hands
my heart
these streets
go hard
they ruin me
tear you limb from limb
then raise you up again
every corner and
every new defeat
it’s bleek
I know it’s bleek
there’s still a fence to climb
there’s smoke on the horizon
every firework and
every human sin
it’s grim
I know it’s grim

half of the night I bled
half of my life I’ve said
wish my whole life I was dead
I’m not dead yet
half of the knife is red
half of my guts unkept
all of my lungs are intact
Nicorette
Nicorette
when will somebody shove a knife in my neck
when will somebody shove a knife in my neck

half of the day he slept
half of the day she wept
most of the love pretend
pretend

if I make it out unscathed
I'll do right for the rest of my life
I'll light candles
Praise him
Open the eyes of my heart Lord
Praise him
All jokes aside
is it all in my mind?
I hope it's all in my mind

don’t be scared
even if you feel sick
we’re prepared
this jaw was bred for breaking bricks
don’t be shook
even if it’s not good
I’m right here
I know this island
it’s my hood

ain’t never climbed
a mountain this high
yeah
I want you near
I want you here
by my side
too many miles
too many states
away
meet me at the peak
for about a week
we’ll stay
my love
my friend
my flame
my person
aint never climbed
a mountain this high
the airs so thin
the futures dim
I might die
to touch your hand
to breathe in deep
and say
this might be hell
but you’re here
I’ll stay
my love
my friend
my flame
my person

when I'm in my cage
is when I misbehave
it's lonely at the top
I wouldn't know
very well
I'm down below (HELL)
I see the cliff
I see the forrest
reaching out to something
reaching out to someone
I see the wall
I see the ladder
I see the fall
I see the ladder
I see the ball
I see my father
in the end everyone was happy and blissful

if I keep believing will I
keep on seeing
you in my dreams?
if I keep the faith
will I keep on crying?
its kinda funny
kinda dying
if I
drive the main road are we
still on the line?
can I hear me
through the whine?
I love you
wholly and completely

supported by 7 fans who also own “Wholly and Completely”
The album is solid from start to finish. Listened to it on a recent road trip, and it’s catchy surface almost does a perfect job of masking the sadness in each song, but the more you listen the more it reveals itself.

by they are gutting a body of water
supported by 5 fans who also own “Wholly and Completely”
Is this “shoegaze” reflected in a funhouse mirror? 90’s rock as remembered by people born after 9/11? The results cannot be argued with. Less filling, tastes great.
