lyrics

You are exhausted when you finally climb into bed. Small death, you've got penis breath and you smell like teenage boy sweat and you think, maybe you'd be happy if you could get an apartment.

Walking through the halls at school you're a locker flower. It's near May, kids are counting the days. You've been counting hours since the day you first sulked into school in those combat boots exuding girl power.

And oh, how things haven't changed. You're still bent out of shape, just in different ways. And what with shipping off this coming fall, it's such a shame to leave your childhood so unresolved.

Curled up like a garden snail now, you try to write. Brief, frail, and thinly veiled, you're convinced it mostly bites, just like those fairy stories you wrote when you were with Gregg White.

Maintenant le petit prince c'est ton petit ami. Mixed tapes and spinach crepes and that lovely state of reverie. But that reverie alone makes a lonely prairie for you and he.

ALOUD
by Advrb

ADVRB is Andrew Barton, my frequent producer. His stuff is all great earnest jangling wonder, and the new demo has some real kick to it (and is about his and my high school romance.) Pegasissy

Post-Empire
by Will Stratton

Will and I were pals in college. His songs and playing are so excellent and beautifully composed, and feel to me like going for a foggy walk in a Carhartt jacket. Pegasissy
