bummer 03:44
I don't want to be the one Who never comes around Got myself into a real bummer mood I'm skipping out I'd like to come but I would rather be alone and in my bed Take a shower for the second time today To clear my head I'm just a record skipping I am just a record skipping Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip Going over all the stupid things I said to you last night And all the empty words You pulled out of your ass to sound nice I don't want to be the one Who always gets let down I would rather stay at home 'Cause here there's nobody around To let me down I'm just a record skipping I am just a record skipping Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip Skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip I'm just a record skipping I don't think that I've been missing out

spit splice 02:59
I’m the flower Stuck to your wall Not living but Not gone Do you need me Should I go Sink into the wall Here by the door Wait for dawn Then walk home Can you take me home I am freaking out I am freaking out I am freaking out Can you take me home Just say no I can walk my grown-ass self alone I’ll be fine Don’t wait for my text I’m not gonna write I’ll be fine I’ll be fine I can’t sleep on my own With you so close I can’t breathe on my own With you so damn close I don’t hate you But I am still bitter From the pain you caused me When I wasn’t enough I have a bitter heart I am healing From the lies I cling to It’s been a process That I’m working at

This is not me I shouldn’t have come I shouldn’t have Grab your coat and leave You shouldn’t have come You shouldn’t have Get a grip, love It’s just one night It’s just one night And isn’t it nice to walk home Isn’t it nice Isn’t it Gonna mull this over Make it worse Make it worse Wish you’d say something Cause this hurts This hurts It wouldn’t take that much Just one word Just one word Yeah I told you so What did I say What did I I try but it’s so damn hard To live up to your expectations You know that it’s all your fault You set this all in motion I try I do I try to have faith in you

I’m sorry that I’m such a shit I’m sorry you weren’t over it I’m sorry that I broke your heart I’m sorry that it went that far When we slept on your couch The one we melted into I didn’t sleep a wink I was too busy thinking And trying hard to breathe With your arms wrapped around me Remember what I need And what you couldn’t give me But now you’re leaving town And I am happy Forget the way you sound Forget you love me I’m sorry I fucked up So sorry you weren’t enough I’m sorry for what I’ve done So sorry, I’m so sorry

Are you sure I am worried for your soul Think you really ought to Think it through Is this really what you Want to do I think you should reconsider I bit my tongue And I thought fuck you You don’t know me Like you think you do And I am done playing around No I’m not fucking around With you Well this was fun But it really wasn’t So thanks for that Now I know what I wanted And I am getting out of town Getting out Getting out Getting out Of here

burnout 03:49
Holding out for love Tried my luck with lust Couldn’t fix you up It wouldn’t be enough I know how he tastes Cigarette smoke And a 24 case I could not fix him up So I didn’t even try Is that giving up Didn’t even like him all that much Guess I didn’t draw the line with you Cause I’m making this up as I go I would have tried to build a life with you You didn’t even like me that much Do you hear these songs And do you wonder about the past As for me I am done You were the first You’ll be the last If you hear these songs Don’t bother writing back Yeah if you hear these songs Don’t bother I won’t write back

mazzy, baby 03:44
There are hairs On my floor When they collect They look like pets I lose a lot In the shower Every other two days I’ve got quite the collection It’s building up to perfection One day soon I will have a whole dog I’ll name her Mazzy And she’ll be my best buddy She’ll live for ages cause hair decomposes really slow Mazzy, baby The living teddy bear Mazzy, baby Don’t eat my underwear I’ll protect her From the drain guard And I’ll never suck her up with the vacuum She will snuggle Love to cuddle And I’ll show her off to all my friends One day later In the future I will buy a real live dog I will love her Name her Mazzy And I’ll throw away my hairs every Sunday Mazzy, baby The living teddy bear Mazzy, baby Don’t eat my underwear

about

This album is about feeling like an imposter in an environment that was once comfortable. It's about becoming reclusive and leaving social events with the feeling that something just doesn't fit, and enjoying being alone with yourself while at the same time longing for companionship.

Also a dog named Mazzy.
