Imagine the shades over the sound
Windows for what's appearing
look over the shapes on the ground
Amassing the time pulled from not adhering
Will the end with this movement
This one that's not long living
Sharp paths points scores of light
opaque refractions that are only momentary
Where is the time; what's going on
what is this shape; what's outside
There's something wrong; on the inside

Have I?
Yeah I've lost my mind
thoughts aren't right
There must be some calm
in the movements seen through a thick fog
on the inside I see through the window
I can't make out... Anybody...

Oh I don't have to say a word to you
I don't have to do anything that I need to with you
Oh I can't help it...
Oh it's that charm
Notated in each of your phrases
I want to spend more time talking with you
And it's the way that I hear all of my friends talking about you
I want to spend more time around you
But it's not fair... I get nervous...
Oh it's not fair... Cause you don't notice at all

Find it— and if you have the time to catch it
it might find a home
In it— spending all your spare time in it
Might have to let go
Lost it— and then you need to try again and catch it
Hair flip it and go
In it— spending all your spare time in it
Might have to let go
Lost it— and then you need to try again and catch it
Hair Flip it and go
Give this all some time
Sometimes it's what drives your heart insane
Maybe evaluate what's in plain sight
Can you see it?
Can you see anything with those eyes?
if your interest tries to fly away— catch it
Don't let it decide for you
maybe ask if there is interest
if you like-like them then you've got to make a show
What else is there then when there is nothing
(there is nothing)
You might be unsure if there's anything at all
But you won't know until you do something about it

Take a breath from the inside
Sift on the back porch
look at the stars, wonder what they are
Yeah what they are...
No one is going to join you in the way that you would like it to be
Think about the time
Why did I come here
What is this place that I feel so inclined to be a part of?
I want what I want to happen here, why stay?
Pause to the stars wonder what they are
Watch— wait for an answer
I want to know
I want to feel whatever it is everyone else here is feeling
Listening to that hum that comes behind me
Yeah feel it
Yeah feel it
What do I feel?
What do I feel?
What do I feel?
What do I feel?!

Who knows what i could ask for
(nothing at all)
Who knows what I am for
(you and everyone)
I don't know what to do
(is what you want and)
Who knows what you could see it for
(anything at all)
I don't know what to feel for
(everyone you know)
Who knows what it is really for
(expect maybe nothing)

Prospective Decline

I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you.
I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you.
Oh baby, don't get up to close with what you know
Save it, save it for who you look after
Or who you want to look after
Oh baby, I'm falling while following a path
I'm not sure if you know what's going on
I'm not sure that I'll make out of where I ought to
Oh closer.
Oh closer to the bottom of this disaster
If I try to get back up at least I did something good
It's coming for me. It's coming for me.
It's coming for me. It's coming for me.
"Like for sure" is the answer that you are calling
In a voice that sounds unfamiliar
As I'm dragged by your arm into the party room looking for you
Looking for you. I'm looking for you.
I'm looking for you. looking for you.
There's a desire that you will escape without knowing it
And if it was phrased in that way you'd probably slap yourself in the face
I'm looking for you. looking for you.
I'm looking for you. I'm looking for you.
I'm looking for you. I'm looking for you.
Looking for you. I'm looking for you.

Hey Katie,
How have things been? How's life in Chicago?
The snow didn't fall this year and my eyes, they hurt from the sun.
(from the sun)
Oh, I fear (yes I fear)
That I may fall in love with another person.
(another person)
Not as full of charm or character as you.
You're light; your smile; there's nothing else more pure than what's in my tone.
Oh.
I'm sure of it
I'm sure of it
I'm the most sure of it
The most sure.
The most sure.
The most sure...

Ready Made

It's that sound rattling inside of your ears
it's that sound of everything at once
There are disparate forms of excitement
Oh could there be more?
When everything you want is here already!
It's that sentiment circulating through everyone
That anxious, that longing desire
There is every kind of stimuli
Who could ask for more?
When everything you want is here already made for you

Don't Party

My heart is anchored to a point of view
I don't think it's necessary to display a set of novelties
to augment expression
I have a lot to say but I'd rather listen to you
It's just that it's so... Oh, hard to understand with all this silence between us
Could we parse it out?
Could we talk it out?
Could we speak clearly?
I wanna know what this is really all about
Because I know what I'm doing here
I came to this place to get dirty ripping up your carpet
Not to be sick around your empty drama
As a fill-in for what's not going on
But I might as well make an appearance count
Could we parse it out?
Could we talk it out?
Could we speak freely?
It always seems that it's too late to say what's on my mind
But whatever it is won't have an impact
Because you think you're so "cool"

Slashed Tires New York, New York
Slashed Tires is a former Seattle local who makes good multitimbral music.
Slashed Tires recommends:
Drone Butch Blues
by Your Heart Breaks
This is an excellent masterpiece by my best friend and his band Your Heart Breaks. So much went into writing and producing it, pulling in many beloved comrades to make a beautiful album.

Over X Millennia
by French Kettle Station
Luke Thinnes is a freak and does good work. A solid person. If I recall correctly, one influence on this album was the 80s Seattle group Savant that I recommended to him.

Heatwarmer's Luke and Aaron are regular collaborators of mine. I mean to ask Evan to drum but I haven't found the right track for him yet but I intend for it. This was absolutely Seattle's best band.

If There Is A Guard Above
by Karl Blau

This is probably my favorite Karl Blau album. I could listen to it everyday... a lot of times I do.

It’s incredible how good this album sounds. Perfect balance of punchy and mellow, songwriting and atmosphere. Loved it since I first found it thru pitchfork!
