i think i swallowed something bad
you better come over you better come over
ok ok and we'll pretend you're the best friend that i ever had
i know your body
i know it like my own
i know your body
i know how it implodes
i am running i am running
but that dark thing keeps coming
i bow down to that fear god every day
it's made of numbers it's made of numbers
ok ok and i'll keep counting until it goes away
i know your body
i know it like my own
i know your body
i know how it implodes
i am running i am running
but that dark thing keeps coming
i'll keep it down
i'll keep it in its place
i'll keep it down
i called to talk to your machine
i have my meanings i have my meanings
ok ok i know you like it better when i don't say anything

my hair was straw
and the night was long
and i was missing in action
but i would not sweat
i would not panic
i would not give that satisfaction
but we were sinking
we were losing ground
we were clinging to a dirty mattress
i was so hungry but i couldn't keep it down
there was movement
but still no sound
just a little uncomfortable with all that skin
if i'd taken off my wings would you have known me
i've got this hole growing in my bed
it follows me out to the street
and i got this ghost who will hold my hand
pulls me through the days until we meet
but i was sinking
i was losing ground
there grew in me a deep isolation
i was so hungry but i couldn't keep it down
there was movement
but still no sound
just a little uncomfortable with all that skin
if i'd taken off my wings would you have known me
you stupid girl
if he's around, he's telling you to stay
count. mother fucker count.
because i am trying to catch my breath
and i am trying to keep my grip
count. mother fucker count.
because i am trying to catch my breath
and i am trying to keep my grip
to the doorframe to the table legs
under the desk where i've crawled
with my hands
over my head
my hair was straw
and the night was long
and i was missing in action

Chords Are Dead recommends:
Earnest songs about true feelings are the best songs, and that's all this is with no tricks and nothing in the way.

So joyful and pissed off in the best possible way. I think they capture the firefly feelings that are in the air when the Bay Area protests everything that's wrong.

Ride the Trashheap of Sound
by The Loyalists
Old friends are the best friends, and we go back. But they are also objectively awesome with their sarcasm, distorted cello and slimy surging rock. We also currently share a drummer.
