Double D 03:10
don't look at me like i'm some kid's dead dog matted fur on a cold hard table tiny hand prints wishing well assembly line i'm the undertaker necropsy, heaven cut it out make it count make it special make them feel special

step right up, join the club. step right up, you frantic duds. the few, the proud - the failures. step right up, don't be shy, step right up, apples of no one's eyes the few, the proud - disgracers. you may be sorry, maybe not. you may be lonely, we just don't give a fuck. the few, the proud - the failures you'll never sleep again you'll never work again you'll never dream again you'll never work again oh i-i-i-i i'm sorry.

Skyline 04:25
(don't be afraid) take the shortcut over skyline the long dead sleep up here but i feel fine where children disappear the fog grows soft and sheer i'm not afraid of anything anymore read the names on tombs long overgrown no visitors right now they've all gone home one hallway down thought he'd be quickly found we're all so close, the edge of the void are we just names and dates? don't be afraid I'm not afraid to be forgotten

Bogotá 04:04
I had a dream I flew to Bogotá all things serene I flew to Bogotá (I want, I want) I wanna leave this country (I want, I want) I wanna live forever in the feeling (I want, I want) security you give me (i want, I want) security you give from the dredges of a life worn over, worn out - you at the edges of the tiny world I knew you found me Bogotá I'll fly to Bogotá

Liminal 03:15
The limits of liminal space How can it be so hard to be in the same place? Lay me down tell me it'll be ok brush the tangles from my hair say we'll get there some day we'll get there some day
9.
Half & Half 03:30
I have run to different continents I have cut off all my hair I have smashed both my fists up against the abyss now I'm just standing here I would go to the edge of the universe if it meant I'd forget, I would stop reliving this over and over and over and over and over and over and over again You see, half of me is gone forever the other half can't stand alone can you come put me back together again can you help me get back home over and over and over and over and over and over and over again wrote one obituary which was more than enough project the essence of toughness pretend I don't give a fuck so much blood on my shoulders I rub the salt from my eyes and surprise surprise I'm still alive

about

Being alive is bizarre. Should you take risks? Should you risk less? Are huge mistakes inevitable? Is it ok to be angry? Is it ok to be scared? Will happiness ever feel real again?

I don't know. These songs were written when I was trying to find answers. Now I just have more questions.

Ideal places and situations to listen to this album:
-red eye flight to a foreign country
-driving past a place you used to live, but don't anymore
-in a cave, literally or metaphorically
-while you're looking in the mirror wondering how exactly you got stuck with the particular body you're in.
-after a panic attack about mortality
