Don’t tell me to shut up.
Don’t tell me it’s all in my head.
If this is too hard for you to manage,
Maybe I’m better off instead
I don’t want to be your housewife.
I don’t need to depend on you.
I just need your hand and understanding
Something real and something true.
I don’t want to.
If this is too hard for you,
I don’t want you to make it harder—
If this is too hard for you,
I don’t want you to make it harder for me.

Tearing holes in a threadbare story
Radio hum like cicada calls
We pace these halls with Marley’s ghost
We dream up names for the places
We’ve come to fear the most
Bitter thoughts collect in this riverbed
How dry, how brittle, my bones are thin
This careless communion on highways
In darkness, through floorboards—
Throw our light on the cracks
Summarily speaking,
we are fragile
Somewhat damaged
Clinging to something else
Summarily speaking,
we are fragile
Somewhat damaged
Clinging to something else
Sing the loons, call the night things.
A body at the bottom of Silver Lake
Sing quiet, the nights destroyed—
Ephemeral damagers
who do their worst and slip away
Summarily speaking,
we are fragile
Somewhat damaged
Clinging to something else
Let these cities fall away
Let these bricks fall like water
Summarily speaking,
we are fragile
Somewhat damaged
Clinging to something else
Summarily speaking,
we are fragile
Somewhat damaged
Clinging to something else
Let these cities fall away
Let these bricks fall like water

Careful now,
Someone might hear you.
We speak in code.
Fan the flames
And stifle smoke
Don't get me wrong—
I'm not one to easily frighten
When the cables gone rogue
When the boats are swaying
We'll be seeds
Leave us buried underneath
Bare your teeth
Break brittle skin and sink them deep
We'll be buried underneath
Leave us buried underneath
Mercury—
Mother Maia's calling
Protect us, your thieves—
In darkness, hurry please
We'll be seeds
Leave us buried underneath
Bare your teeth
Break brittle skin and sink them deep
We'll be buried underneath
Leave us buried underneath
We'll be seeds
Leave us buried underneath
Bare your teeth
Break brittle skin and sink them deep
We'll be buried underneath
Leave us buried underneath

Lorem Ipsum

Ships are in the harbor
Quiet, drifting out to sea
Sleeping without worry
Cling to former glory.
Antennas on the rooftops
Streaming all the lowly ends
Scratching out the hard parts
Silent when they’re comforting.
Give me something, anything
Kill the buzzing in my ears
Spiraling and circling
Down and through this wayward drain
This wayward drain.
What are you waiting for?
Shouting down crowded rooms
Words are static
We exist in noise
Straight to the heart of it
Sifting through the broken glass
Weaving through static
Three dots, three dash, three dots.
You can’t pretend
That you can abstain
Your hands are bound
Our Tongues are tied
The sirens ring
The streets are empty
We let it come to this
Apathetic generation.
What are you waiting for?
Shouting down crowded rooms
Words are static
We exist in noise
Straight to the heart of it
Sifting through the broken glass
Weaving through static
Three dots, three dash, three dots.

small graves Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
small graves creates a frenzied mix of Iron Chic and Japandroids anthemic punk rock with a healthy dose of indie rock sincerity from bands like Tokyo Police Club and Death Cab for Cutie. Add to that the raw, gritty sound of 90s alt-rock bands like The Toadies and Silverchair, and you get a sound that feels nostalgic and familiar while tilling new sonic grounds. ... more
