i feel so tired
i don't wanna get up
sunlight sneaks up
i think i'm sleeping in
then i
don't wake me up
leave me alone
don't wake me up
leave me alone
when i'm asleep
i don't have to be someone
and for an hour
i can slip away
then i
don't wake me up
leave me alone
don't wake me up
i'm sleeping in
when i'm home
i can get some sleep
i forget to speak
i can breathe
like an animal
blood matted in my hair
"i'm doing just fine"

get lost
get found
lose your sense of when
look down
with feet on the ground
walk to nowhere at all
do you feel small?
at all
do you feel the weight
of the world
bearing down
on your shoulders
now
let it down
even atlas gets tired sometimes
i’ve
got a boat
and i sail
to the edge of the earth
and stare
at the moon
until
i start to spin
oh
take yourself out
you’re not around
yourself much are you?
take yourself out
you’re not around
yourself much are you?
don’t hang around
what brings you down
cause all you need is you

no one's gonna solve your problems
when your problems are all that you've got
pick yourself up by the bootstraps
buy a house get a job it'll turn out fine for me
dirty little starving babies
always put a tear on my face
but if you ask for a dime from my stash
i'd rather see you dead in the temple marketplace
when one day the earth stops spinning
saints and sinners all are called to die
you'll see my shining face as the honor of your race
i'll be laughing on my pyramid of cash
cities turned to ash
long live the bold and brash
right hand of the big man in the sky

dissolver of sugar, dissolve me
if this is the time
do it gently with a touch of the hand, or a look
every morning I wait at dawn
that's when it's happened before
or do it suddenly like an execution
how else can I get ready for death
you breathe without a body like a spark
you grieve, and I begin to feel lighter
you keep me away with your arm
but the keeping away is pulling me in
pale sunlight
pale the wall
love moves away
the light changes
i need more grace
than I thought

birds fear death!!!!!!!
go to album
Printemps in Vogue
by Alice Dreamt
one of the most mind-blowingly inventive pop records i've ever heard. sweet melodies with dark, evil twists wrapped in hazy, dense layers of production. sweet sugar candy that rots all your teeth
go to album
Cherish Everything
by Look Vibrant
the perfect combination of weird grooves, perfectly-constructed melodies, and off-kilter guitar and synth. warning: they are broken up now

A Fork or My Fingers
by Bigger Boot
supported by 5 fans who also own “interloper”
This album is always a dozen things or more working to create something bigger. It achieves it throughout, the fusion of styles always stays fresh and the songs go absurdly hard. Creative.

Weatherglow
by Asian Glow, Weatherday
supported by 5 fans who also own “interloper”
They NEED to make sheet music for this whole album. Amazing work!!

IV
by Letting Up Despite Great Faults
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs.
