Body Song 01:32
Well these are my arms And these are my legs They'll do you no harm But as for my brain That bastard's out for blood I'll act like I'm noble I'll act like I'm kind But I'll break your heart I hope you don't mind My veins are filled with mud I'll be under the influence Darling, oxytocin's a bitch Bodies having their way with the mind Unfortunately intertwined Well give me your hands Then give me your mouth Act like I don't know What this is about I'm one step out in front The thing about bodies and bodily harm Is I can get by on only my charm I'll get just what I want I'll be under the influence Darling, oxytocin's a bitch Bodies having their way with the mind Unfortunately intertwined

I got the letter you wrote the other day I guess I half-expected it, but it surprised me anyway The mixtape you sent was pretty good I'd listen to it with you if I really thought I should But it reeks of bad decisions, makes me think of spilling tears Yeah everybody cries sometimes, it took me four long years I'm learning how to be alone without losing my mind Well thank you Paul, I owe you one, you said it for me yet another time I dream of standing by your window with a song But the hopes I used to have for love have been absent now for way too long Maybe I could find somebody new A nice Saint Louis Catholic girl who's nothing like you Well you live the next block over but I don't see you around You always have your headphones on so you don't hear a sound Maybe I should visit you, or just give you a call Or maybe resolution isn't real after all

I don't get over things, I just turn them into high blood pressure It's not that I don't trust you, it's just what they call good measure I think she's too judgmental, maybe I'm just too forgiving But there's way too much of my life right now that I can't help but reliving Maybe things will work out just fine If we keep lying to each other and taking our sweet time Well darling, I have got a bit of news for you: I'm leaving pretty soon Things didn't work out like I planned it There's only so many bridges you can burn before you're stranded And on this Sunday morning I am feeling ever so alone With everyone I’ve ever loved in a different time zone It’s for the best, it’s for the best, it’s for the best I could use the peace and quiet, I could use a bit of rest And hell, who isn’t tired after these past couple months? I know I for one would love to throw the towel in for once By that I mean I hope that California is everything you hoped that it would be And I hope this hangover kills me

I'm gonna go all winter without wearing gloves I'm gonna smoke my hands into oblivion And every nerve ending will know exactly how I feel I'm gonna cut my losses and just give up I've waited 'round too long to only end up fucked Because time is the one thing That you can never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever get back Maybe if I had a little patience Or maybe if I had a little time Then I could deal with everybody's bullshit And honestly tell people that I'm fine But everyone's got problems Some that they'll never solve I've seen enough to know now Nothing ever gets resolved Well if you're feeling kinda empty Then at least you're not alone We can drink and smoke in my room We can all just bitch and moan It's colder now, within, without I want to know what I'm about Past drinking on porches and drinking on roofs Because now that it's winter I don't know what to do But sit inside and kill some time I'll just sit inside and kill some time I'm just paralyzed, overanalyze, I'll just sit inside and kill some time I'm gonna cut my losses and just give up I'm gonna cut my losses and just give up I'm gonna cut my losses and just give up Can someone please just tell me how I can give up? Because everyone's got problems Some that they'll never solve I've seen enough to know now Nothing ever gets resolved Well if you're feeling kinda empty Then at least you're not alone We can drink and smoke in my room And feel a little less alone

about

I can't put enough scare quotes around the word "release" so I'm not going to try:

I've been talking about putting this thing out for like, months. Come on, it's only four tiny little songs, right? Anyway, I feel like this is a kinda winter companion to the last set of demos, written inside while frustrated that I wasn't drinking beer and sunbathing and mowing lawns outside. I made no mistakes while recording, anything that sounds like a mistake was intentional. Same with the wildly varied quality of recordings - definitely did that on purpose.

Themes include:
-Giving up
-Never resolving anything
-Disappointing and/or hurting people
-Parentheses

Thanks to a lot of people (not just for the album, just for being cool); off the top of my head, the biddies (Rachel and Ryan), Dakota Unraveler "Funhaveler" ~*~princess~*~ Bahney, the residents of A Goddamn Space Station (including Alyssa) (but mostly Kyle Schwab), Grace, Jackson, Emma, the folks at Camelot (especially Ben for recording me and Joey for having a wonderful laugh), Beth Dodds for finding my music mediocre, I'm forgetting lots of people but whatever it's four goddamn songs you guys.

Written and recorded like, fucking everywhere.
