Slippery Eyes

You like to keep it low-
Falling backwards real slow
You think i’ll never know-
Like you do, like you do
Slippery eyes and shallow bones
Stretched across the hardwood floor
I remember you in splinters
And the smell of smoke
Wildfire burning bright,
You stubborn ember holding tight
You think i’ll never know
Like you do, like you do
Slippery eyes and shallow bones
Stretched across the open road
I buried my fears and built a home
Like I learned, like I learned
You don’t have much to say
Tuck your tongue back where it lay
I don’t know what I’d do
Without you
I would drive all night just to see you
Just to see you, just to see you

Cut Your Conversation

I swear the sirens are deafening
Cut your conversation
I still can’t tell what you’re saying
To me, to me
I fear my roots are rotting
And I won’t know ‘til I fall through the ground
Be weary of standing in place too long
Somedays I just can’t be found

Summer of '62

I’ve stopped counting the days
Tally marks just took up too much space
I woke up in cold sweats again
I know i shouldn’t let you haunt me like this
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That day is burnt in my head
Ten years since I saw you last
I got the call and I lost my breath
Found myself running down that road again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Running just like the summer of '62
We were in love, I spent my nights with you
Remember you saying baby come over
I’ll show you the world
I swear I ran as fast as I could
Ten years later and I’m running down that same road
Where you’re lying now
I swear I’m going as fast as I can now
With the echo of the phone
And the voice of the man
He spoke so coldy when he said your name
You promised that you wouldn’t leave-
Ten years pass and it’s all the same
Flashing lights ahead disagree
Flashing lights say you’ve gone anyways

Lost Boy

I wrote you for a while in the back of my head
Couldn’t commit to any words on a page
Tried to extract everything like I could forget
Held my head under water until I felt it
Until I felt it, felt it
Never really knew what the silence meant
Always feared the worst- and always tried to settle it
Choked on my words while you choked down your cigarette
Time has a wandering way with us
way with us, away with us
I don’t want to apologize just to exist
slouch my shoulders until my chest caves in, caves in
I don’t want to apologize to exist
I dont want to apologize just to exist
Never really knew what the silence meant
I don’t want to apologize just to exist

Crywank with extra steps. I love these artists and nothing can take away from the fact that they have undeniably wonderful songwriting abilities but they might be better off having a engineer/producer do the recording. Still a fascinating listen with interesting experimentation and more lo-fi than Crywank had ever been. it's got a unique kind of charm to it being as d.i.y as music can possibly get but also holds it back a bit.
