jluann Beautiful album from start to finish! A random lyric compared with my favorite artist brought me here, and I'm glad it did--this is probably one of the best impulse purchases I've ever made wrt music. Spiracle is my favorite but there are so many other contenders. Favorite track: Spiracle.

~ I am really taken by the softness of the sound and the beauty of the lyrics. I found this artist in a Spotify mix and immediately went to see if there was an album I could buy, and there is, and I am so happy. I highly recommend pulling up the lyrics to these songs because they are beautiful and worth spending a lot of time with.

I want to lay on the kitchen floor with you I want to do all the things that lovers do Bruised on your face like a watercolour bloom Moonlight paints your skin cornflower blue You love me til you wear me out, then you love me more I’m blue to the middle, just like you, freezing to the core The days they fly like trains go by when I’m on my way home to you And I think about, if they ran me down, baby, what would you do? I want to lay on the train tracks with you I want to tie you down the way that lovers do And in the morning I’ll love the mangled bits of you I’ll love you when your lips turn cornflower blue I love you til I wear you out, then I love you more Now all the things that we don’t talk about are waiting at the door I won’t let you out of my sight, even when you’re sleeping So baby take your medicine and promise me you’re eating. Who will I say goodnight to when you’re gone?

Sugar Water 03:18
My boy plays a game with my heart on the flatline He likes to keep me halfway out You know girls like me we’ve got a slow pulse Hit the trip switch baby I’m all right My boy’s got a sharp twist no he’s wicked in the heart Feeds me sugar water just to keep me alive Saw him in my dreams again He’s wiping down the fingerprints Press so hard I float up to the sky Hanging round like a puppy til you let me in Coming home with a black eye begging for you You like to treat me like a child, but that’s all right I kinda like it when you talk the way you do It’s kind of tripping me up, babe I’ve got it bad for you Laying back sipping sugar water I’m so weak for the things you do Drop to the floor every time I hear your voice Seeing stars on the borderline Sinking through the floor

Back to You 03:22
Don't fight back, don't look at me like that Don't forget I'll never quite forgive you But I'll pretend to Don't fight fair, and don't you cut your hair Don't you make the same mistakes your father did You are not him Well it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend You keep me on the run Never learned to lose a fight, never learned to grow up right This is who we are How will I release you now? How can I forgive myself when I'm still in love with you? And it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend You keep me on the run Well baby, you're so famous but you sold out your soul You went and let it all go on a melody Some kind of tragedy So quit your job, come sleep in my bed We'll get by on our roses and our elegies Things we could never see Well it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend You keep me on the run Never learned to lose a fight, never learned to grow up right This is who we are How will I release you now? How can I forgive myself when I'm still in love with you? And it's always back to you again Always back to you, my friend You keep me on the run Always back to you again Always back to you, my friend Now look at what we've done

Where’d the October birds go? I used to watch them from the window When I had eyes to see, when I was more like me Where did your rosy face go? When did your cheeks get so hollow? Is it just a reflection of me? Did i hurt you so badly I want to be good but the moment I see That runaway bride on the train headed east I want to be like her I want to be free She lifts her dress and she runs into the street But I’ve never seen a staircase without dreaming of falling I’m the flinch in your cheek, I’m the shake in your hands and I’ve laid here before, and I’ll lay here again I haven’t seen war but I’ve tasted the sand I’ve died five hundred times with your flag in my hand I’ve never seen a river without dreaming of jumping Call me lucky and spoiled, I’m selfish and awful I wake and i want more, I go to sleep needing you over and over I take what you give me No man is an island, I’m the girl on your shoreline washed up and heaving Pathetically breathing I cling to your sleeves and I stop you from leaving October birds Singing and wedding bells ringing tied to the altar I ’ll keep you forever Don’t let me down easy, you’re in me too deeply

Pisces Moon 03:39
I survive on a second chance I feel your love secondhand It's someone else's flowers on the table but I don't mind I'm crawling through your window, babe I’m falling at your feet again Right before you run out the door I’m calling your name I'm trying to be less volatile and I’m finding new ways to get high But I do it again every time I can't walk away with my pride I'm always running after that train I’m always running after that boy After he leaves me at the station again Cause I know it's in his heart to be good I know it's in your heart to be good He was born with the Pisces moon Dim light and honeydew I know that he'll never love me But I can't let it go He's walking through my dreams again In the palm of someone else's hand His dark eyes still watching me spinning Through the chemical glow I'm always staring at my phone I’m always trying to get you alone My wires crossed along the way Now I’m standing here with nothing to say Fell in love with the Pisces moon Now i’ll follow you wherever you go Til you leave me at the altar some day Well I think that I’d love you anyway Yeah I know that I’d love you anyway
