“what’s the matter why’d you feel so low?”
she asked and I said nothing because she knows
at least I think she does, cause she’s a smart girl, and I’m ready
what’s it mean when you fall for someone who
to want you back would be impossible
because she’s not yours, you know she’s not yours, but you can’t stop digging
oh don’t do anything
don’t laugh, don’t write, don’t touch me again
there’s nothing good that can come of it
I’m a jealous guy
and I can’t change that
this is serious and I’m heading to bring us all down
you could have god and take my holidays
I want you, plus god ain’t mine anyway
god’s not here to give me trinkets, or write you love songs
read for me I’ll only give you more
I’m so tiered now, I’d let you make me yours
do what you want now, I’m stuck in a dreamland, hurting whoever I can now
it’s not for us to win like this
I’ll talk and when I’ve lost I’ll drink until the room spins
I bought a ghost that I can really touch and I’ll make it sing for us
I’m so jealous I
want what I can’t have
this is familiar, and it’s so weird, I’m heading to bring us all down
I played the part of a lover who’s been left
I memorized the words so well I don’t need a script
I don’t remember ever asking to be so lucky
Feels just like hurricane
you need calm eyes to watch this kind of rain
I hear it through the walls, I hate the way they talk, some things don’t ever stop
don’t act like you really feel this way
don’t do this anymore unless you really mean it
it’s gotten bad enough you scared little kid
I’m jealous now
I’m angry how
this is daunting, familiar, and strange, I’ll be fine, see you later I’ll go away
Juxtaposing poetic balladry with roaring feedback and warped piano lines, the Vermonter's music is as stunning as it is unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
