sick of these hold outs • clean plate so we can roll out
cashing checks your heart can’t pay
like start tomorrow • no, let’s start it today
i’m getting sick of these hold ups • clean slate so we can blow up
eyes locked on the treasure you hold
why even start the diggin’ if the dirt is gold?
now try to shrink down • f it into your self-worth, f ind promise
bring it back, let it grow up and go to your head
sick of guidance • on the rocks with the sirens
crash land in a place and a time
“is this really my life?” this one couldn’t be mine.”
i’m feeling guilty for ambition
like i forgot to ask permission
but i’d rather die with my heart in knots
than live thinking ‘bout the moment that i might have lost
now try to shrink down • f it into my own self-worth, f ind promise
bring it back, let it grow up and go to my head
blast off • see the world • built that cage, now you live in it
blast off • see the world from above
shrink down • f it into your own self-worth, f ind promise
bring it back, let it grow up and go to your head
shrink down • fit into my own self worth, f ind promise
bring it back, let it grow up and go to my head

Full Body Mirror

why don’t she feel good like she look? what’s happening inside?
open up, come out of those curves • don’t parenthesize
should I feel bad about the way I’m acting on the phone?
what can i say to make it clear i want her in my home?
reduce me to my skin and bone • just base me off my tint and tone
starting to form an idea but i still don’t know what i said
to make that sweet girl disappear
she said she’d come over, she swore it
if i let her out of her full body mirror
why don’t she sound happy to hear my voice on the line?
open up, come out of those curves • don’t say that it’s f ine
should i feel bad about the way i’m acting in my head?
what can i say to make it clear i want her in my bed?
reduce me to my skin and bone • just base me off my tint and tone
starting to form an idea but i still don’t know what i said
to make that sweet girl disappear
she said she’d come over she swore it
if i let her out of her full body mirror
been sayin’ things that i don’t mean at all • i’ve lost control
if i say i’m sorry it means that i take all the blame
reduce me to my skin and bone • just base me off my tint and tone
starting to form an idea but i still don’t know what i said
to make that sweet girl disappear
she said she’d come over, she swore it
if i let her out of her full body mirror
starting to form an idea but i still don’t know what i said
to make that sweet girl disappear
she said she’d come over, she swore it
if i let her out of her full body mirror

Love That Never Fades

love that never fades in and out • i’m runnin’ out of days
love that never folds • through the grit and through the gettin’ old
i know
impossible, how can it be that two souls emit a similar hue?
i’m told
impossible, can’t find no body who could love yourself as much as you do
love that never swells • keep it the same or it’ll fade out
love that never burned • so keep it quenched or it’ll flame out
i know
impossible, how can it be • two equations plot a similar line
i’m told
impossible, don’t try to fight it when we start to grow apart over time
fold, fold the sheets • take the bus • quickly wrap up now
choose another one (choose another one)
change the sheets • take the bus • slowly unwrap now
checkin’ out the booty • wooden chest under water • i’ll loot that booty
choose another one (choose another one)
burn the sheets • miss the bus • uninstall app now • wait, swipe me right
your feed, and i’m scrolling • you’re lookin’ good, girl
think you know where i’m going • don’t go
light weight • hella heavy • i’m ready to go whenever you’re ready to go
trust me, hella honest • said it’s the real thing and i meant it i promise
light weight • hella heavy • i’m ready to go whenever you’re ready to go
love that never fades • cold water • tumble dry low
love that never dulls • stay sharp • yeah, that’s my arrow
i know,
impossible, how can it be that two souls emit a similar hue
i’m told
impossible, can’t find no body who could love yourself as much as you do

easy does it • already out of control
i love that dress and them shoes • my god, my girl
(baby let me take you home)
there’s the exit • i want her outta that door
our night is bound to end • front to back to bed

like how you‘re dressed but i don’t like how you’re actin’
i don’t wanna be your stomping ground tonight]
easy does it • i’m pulling out all the stops (she loves it)
i’ve never been so on my game
(probably gonna make it big)

(i’m the kind of guy she likes)
[stop giving me looks • i think you know it’s distractin’
i like how you’re dressed but i don’t like how you’re actin’
i don’t wanna be your stomping ground tonight
stop buying my drinks • no, i don’t think you’re attractive
i smiled at you but then you overreacted
i don’t wanna be your stomping ground tonight]
how presumptuous • i’m just out with my friends
i’m going home after this • don’t want your propositions
i’m not as drunk as you are • you’re not as sharp as i am
i’m out too late and i regret what i’m wearin’
[stop giving me looks • i think you know it’s distractin’
like how you’re dressed but i don’t like how you’re actin’
i don’t wanna be your stomping ground tonight

i’m a monster, you ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
i’m a monster, you never had one?
if it isn’t inside my head, how can i be sure it’s real?
no, i didn’t catch that you were broke down
because i don’t know how to feel
if i didn’t see it happen, how can i be sure it did?
no, i don’t believe you, couldn’t have been
you are all inside my head
i’m a monster, ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
cause i’m a monster, you never had one?
be afraid • be afraid
now my ego runneth over, can you see it on the floor?
no? what?
i can’t hear you, no, i can’t feel you
empathy is overrated, all it does is slow me down
no, i didn’t see you struggling down there
because i f loat above the ground • f loat above the ground
i’ve got bolts in my neck, fangs in my teeth
god, something ain’t right with that boy
my eyes turning red • you should be scared
‘cause i wish i could trust but i confess i’m not the best
at showing that my heart’s a mess
it could’ve stopped and i wouldn’t know
i’m a monster, ever had one?
be afraid • be afraid
‘cause i’m a monster, you never had one?
be afraid • be afraid

infinite ballroom
but i’ll find oyu anyway
can’t sit in the throne room
i’ll crown you anyway
she’s so sweet
she came from the sprawl in her
empty idiot soul
idiot soul
break down the wall
now you’re the princess
i’m nothing at all
idiot soul
nothing to me
partners in crime
f ind us a room
baby, get knighted
go down on one knee when it’s...
so sweet
she came from the sprawl in her
empty idiot soul
idiot soul
no family name
idiot soul
my chosen name
alone on the 4th f loor
forbidden to strangers
allow me to show you
my private chambers
she’s so sweet
she came from the sprawl in her
empty idiot soul

Artificial Sweeteners

a very special episode
the kind you can watch with your folks
there’s something sentimental
anecdotal
i’m gonna go through the motions again
she really likes the song i wrote
that hi-hat on the quarter note
self-referential, confessional
i’m gonna go through the motions again
searching all over creation
sweeten the deal
saccharine and masturbation
a very special episode
a message that’s shoved down your throat
open wider, moral fiber
i’m gonna go through the motions again
she really likes the riffs i write
the hammer-ons, the bends and slides
kick on the distortion pedal,
crank the levels
i’m gonna go through the motions again
searching all over creation
sweeten the deal
saccharine and masturbation
searching all over creation
sweeten the deal
saccharine and masturbation

light show, where did all my days and nights go?
tiny screen, take me to the nearest girl i might know
hot spot, meet her at her bus stop
but the map is still loading, loading, loading
no don’t do this to me, friend, no no no please
i’m pleadin’, how’s she gonna call me back?
and how do i get home from here?
dead dead dead
dead zone, dead dreams, listen out for her ring tone
walk a block, kick a can, take a piss and then moan
scared i’ll get shot walking to the bus stop
this neighborhood is lonely lonely lonely
why’d you do this to me, friend?
come on now please i’m pleadin’
how’s she gonna call me back?
and how do i get home from here?
i shouldn’t have to miss my connection
and i feel all kinds of pathetic when i’m asking for directions
hook up, wish i had a name i could look up
pretty face, pay me back for all the time you took up
time to let go, looks like i’m a no show
but now where am i going going going?
how’d you do this to me, friend? i asked you please, i pleaded
she’s never gonna call me back and i’ll never get home from here
i shouldn’t have to miss my connection
and i feel all kinds of pathetic when i’m asking for directions
my luck has never been good
i’ve never been so scared of a neighborhood
these girls are gonna kill me, somebody’s bound to kill me out here

not my room
not my bed
unformed thoughts clot
in my head
not my closet
not my clothes
i’ll still wear them
i suppose
deep down
can we go deep down?
unwind
i’m coming unwound
not my house
not my block
i’m not laughing
make it stop
where’s the exit?
where’s real life?
endless cycle
days and nights
deep down
can we go deep down?
unwound
watch me unwind
deep down
let me go deep down
unwind
i’m coming unwound

Flagship

peer, appear to disappear • all knotted up with fear • white sails
a vessel secure and safely nestled
lay you down in the seabed • fall in love with the masthead
can i make you my flagship? all my eggs in one basket
i’ve been thinking about asking, a question requesting--- no, nevermind
i’m tangled in the sweet things that you say and that you do
i wanna stay enamored over you
i can’t go on • i can’t back down • i can’t stay deep or i’ll drown
sheer, like here but not quite here • all twisted in the gears • white sails
moan like mine but not my own
lay you down in the seabed • don’t fall in love with the masthead
can i make you my flagship? all my eggs in one basket
i’ve been thinking about asking, a question requesting--- no, nevermind
i’m all caught in the sweet things that you say and that you do
i wanna stay enamored over you
i can’t go on, i can’t back down, i can’t stay deep or i’ll drown
hey, flickering light • two ships pass in the night
hey, ghost ship, tell me where are you floatin’? and can i come aboard?
can i make you my flagship? all my eggs in one basket
i’ve been thinking about asking, a question, requesting--- no, nevermind
i’m tangled in the sweet things that you say and that you do
i wanna stay enamored over you
i can’t go on • i can’t back down • i can’t stay deep or i’ll drown
flagship? all my eggs in one basket
i’ve been thinking about asking, a question, requesting--- no, nevermind
i’m tangled in the sweet things that you say and that you do
i wanna stay enamored over you
i can’t go on • i can’t back down • i can’t stay deep or i’ll drown

Let It Absorb You
05:11

i’ve been so in the moment lately that i’ve forgotten what my name is
i don’t remember
i don’t really want it that bad, i don’t need control, no
i just know the feeling i have to let go, come on, let go
i feel like i can see forever, everything’s folding up together
make it all come together
i don’t need to understand it, i don’t need to know, no
i just know the feeling i have to let go, come on, let go
i’ve been dreamin’, hop in, so down to let go
do you want to break through? i didn’t think so
i don’t really want it that bad, i don’t need control, no
i just know the feeling i have to let go, come on, let go
let it all absorb you, let it f ill your head
make your body whole
let it all consume you
you can feel yourself become someone else
to be inside the garden wall and to know that you are there
is knowing everything at this moment which is all moments before
let it all absorb you, let it fill your head
make your body whole
let it all consume you
you can feel yourself become someone else
i don’t really want it that bad
i just know the feeling that i have
let go, come on, let go
let it all absorb you
let it all absorb you

Underwater Tell Each Other Secrets

This is my band!
go to album
You Always Do This

Indie pop music I make with my friend Juliana Lydell.

The real Speed of Sound in Seawater is fast... relatively. This album is the same in that it goes by too fast and you are already putting it on repeat again. :p
go to album
supported by 10 fans who also own “Oh, Yuck”
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.
