take me back to the place
where i know i should go
let me live in the space
where i know i'm erased
i know i know you well
but you don't know me so well
feeling all around the room
like a person in the dark
as we drive in the dark
on our way to the show
all the worry inside
goes to you from my mind
i know i know you well
but you don't know me so well
feeling all around the room
like a person in the dark

everybody wants to cut me down these days
what can i say?
and my brother saw me running out of my brain
what can i say?
i can't stand it when my head gets in the way
gets in the way
so i run from my thoughts and from your eye
what can i say?
i was your fantasy
i know a little too well
but dear it's over and i say
i'm sorry to say
i'm sorry to say
they run their mouth off like it doesn't hurt at all
i heard it all
she always said that of her lovers, i'm the best
i love the best
this confusion's got me clutching at my lungs
i love the best
you were my fantasy
i know a little too well
but dear it's over and i say
i'm sorry to say
i'm sorry to say
whatever they say i know it's
whatever you say i know it's not true

remember those late drives?
the engine pines with such an ache
the girly songs we would blast
from '98, alternative
we're trouble-bound but ohhh
we mean no harm but
we'll take this fucking world
we'll take this fucking world
those secret rooms, the boys' life
i never put the key to that latch
our schoolmates talked the meanest trash
but brother i was sold on you
did you ever come out?
escape that trap
the one you hinted at
the one you hinted at
i've gone through years and i've gone through friends
i've got a rear view and so much depends
i remember the records, the beard i couldn't grow
don't talk anymore, but you're down in my soul
does the apple fall far from the tree?
does the apple fall far from the tree?
does the apple fall far from the tree?
does the apple fall far from the tree?

and when the baby is born your crazy life is torn like a paper airplane
acting like you are so bored with the things that you afford, you're such a baby
maybe it's true what they say: a quiet life's a pain, but it's good for your spirit
put down your beer and your fear, it won't be so austere like you imagine
don't flush it down the toilet or the laboratory
dumpster kid
you'll clean away responsibility
but not the gory stain
a good woman picks you apart, and even if you're smart, we all could use that
yours happens to be a dear, don't leave out of the clear. she couldn't take it
think like the dark-headed man in high fidelity don't buy fantasy
don't flush it down the toilet or the laboratory
dumpster kid
you'll clean away responsibility
but not the gory stain
ah ah ah ah

summer in springtime
dreaming sweaty
i gotta tell you something right now
quickly before i forget
dammit it's slipping away
remember when we rode our bikes
silently into the night
blowing me under the tree
coming to my senses
slowly, meaningfully
autumn of our young days
dreaming sweaty
recalling my feelings for you
alcohol serving for two
you blow me up like a balloon
you're beautiful
you're beautiful
you're beautiful
you're beautiful

i eat my words
with a helping of sand
then lose myself
will i ever sail to land?
if you knew all the guilt i have
you would close your ears
it's what i fear
la da da da da da
la da da da da da
la da da da da da
i eat my world
to a horrible degree
no consequence
or at least there's none i see
or at least there's none i see
if you knew my confidence
you would close your ears
it's what i fear
la da da da da da
la da da da da da
la da da da da da

she's standing with a cigarette envy
psychedelic panic, she tells me
and oh no
i'm jonesing
wishing for rain
night-vision
restriction
suspend the pain
and when it's really bad
the color fades
after the darkest night
you paint my days
we couldn't get enough of it those days
antiseptic, manic in our haze
take a breath, dear
have no fear
don't pray for rain
and oh no
it's over
there's no more pain
and when it's really bad
the color fades
after the darkest night
you paint my days
om om om om

passing out in a car on tuesday
reek of peanuts and bad tequila
drink with strangers and they console me
not forever, but it's nice to meet ya
the song that i select is not too heavy
but the volume is set way too loud
step outside to get some perspective
but i'm stuck too far inside this cloud
i miss you
you know this
i'm sorry that i love you
waking up in a car on wednesday
there's commotion and the sound of sirens
have no memory, head is pounding
i am paranoid, too excited
i miss you
you know this
i'm sorry that i love you
passing out (in a car on tuesday)
passing out (in a car on tuesday)
passing out (in a car on tuesday)
passing out (in a car on tuesday)

Women House

the latest so cal band to capture edgar's heart, and that's no small feat. it's old-school punk, psych-surf, blues, and riot girl all at once. the full-length is solid, start to finish, no joke.
