lyrics

Intrusive fantasies lodging into my skull
of cracking when we're vulnerable
I'd set us up to fall
I'd reach into our chest
you'd tell me that it hurts
I'd grab that beating heart
and squeeze it til it bursts
With your pathetic cries
the last hope for me dies
I'd run back home to mother
spouting all those fucking lies
and they're really all for me
and she knows as well as I
but she'll probably let me
wallow in self pity til I die
because I was her brightest hope
and I slept that hope away
with a growing apathy
that's getting stronger every day
and even though this too shall pass
it's hard to see that from inside
hard to bust out from the
thick web of excuses where I hide
so for tonight and for tomorrow
and the day that's after that
please don't take me seriously
all my words will come out flat

I can figure all this out.
As a lichen I will cling
to barren rocky shores
in seas of lazy, self-made suffering.

Irving & The Axolotls Cleveland, Ohio

Loren and I are friends from Cleveland, Ohio. We've worked with each other (and other friends too!) to make music as a hobby for several years now. These projects are mostly for fun, but they also provide a great outlet for us to share and discuss music with other friends and archive the stuff we've worked on. ... more
