lyrics
sarah knows her memes are lit, she reminds me of boys that i'd try to fix but i'm done trying. he calls me nurturing when we look at each other. i've wasted so many years trying to be someone's mother, but i'm done trying.
i'm so dumb, can't process logic. you're so loving. i must have dreamt that i'm your backdrop for pain projection, but it's not my fault when you can't take a hint and get out of here.
this weather reminds me of crying in the car in the parking lot in southbury center for some teenager's birthday party or something, they wanted us to play. he ran away drinking forties to the tempo, i'm his lifeboat, i'm frozen to his frame. another forty to the tempo. another forty to the tempo, blunt punch, asking for the name. another forty to the tempo. another forty to the tempo, carved pine breaking off the frame.
and now he's powdering his ego.
another forty to the tempo, toe crunch, tires in the lane. another forty to the tempo.
india ink-stained seats
metalcore
suvs
wake up drunk on the beach
fall asleep near
i don't want to remember.
another forty to the tempo, i'm his lifeboat, i'm his ice floe, i'm his lifeboat. different time zone, little freak show, elbows front row, no i don't know, no i don't know
and i don't want to remember.
living for surfing the pit and the blood in my spit when we lived in a field for the summer.
and i don't want to remember.
another forty to the tempo.
he thinks of himself as a townie or something. he's buying up gear just to make you like him. he's chatting up train kids and brooklyn bassists. i'm lucky to be with the elm city jesus.
seven years taking the hits, then dissociative blitz.
if i told you this shit, would you still think that you could burn me with an ember?
you know i'll never be tender.
i wish i knew you when we were in high school, we probably would've been

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums. summer villain
