medicine_09 actually insane. was really hoping girlsnails would put out something new as i loved their first ep, and this was not only a very cool surprise but also blew away any expectations i might have had. petition for every emo band to have a mandated horn section from now on Favorite track: chicken and rice.

light up baby falling slowly ashy dreams concrete underneath fleeting nights til 3am phone fell off beside the bed again call it lazy, i'm still here why are you so caught up in things that cannot change baby call it lazy i'm still here why did i say see you later didn't mean it, didn't mean it after all this, how could i say see you later, see you later am i stupid, didn't mean it who would do this, who would do this now i can't sleep, this is useless this is useless line up baby time runs slowly anxious waiting constantly erasing trading lives til 3am drunken calls outside your room again call it lazy i'm still here bulletproof goodbye to sunsets without ramune so long to living outside your house bulletproof goodbye to sunsets without ramune so long to living outside your house why are you so caught up in things that cannot change baby call it lazy i'm still here broken windows still not playful back to early days til nightfall nobody wants this you deserve it give it to me i can use it too now i can't sleep my mind is too full give it to me i can use it too

fell through the floor, fell asleep on my back bending the spine just to see where it snaps safe from the noise with my head in the sand i won't take it out my god is this where i'm at? eating chicken and rice with my hands from the pan taking all this time, what is yours is mine nothing left to learn, nothing left to steal take away from all this i can promise and have it not mean a thing call me when you see this the better half of me dazed and confused, i'm higher than high rooftop of the dorm with no end in sight unlock the door and give me the news i'm looking for a problem and i just can't choose take away from all this i can promise and have it not mean a thing call me when you see this the better half of me i could lose my self control i could take this one for all i could split myself in two i could make my way through you take away from all this i can fall and have it not mean a thing call me when you see this the sewing up and the tearing of the seam take away from all this i can solve it and have it not mean a thing call me when you see this the problems and the way they got to me can you wait for all this the consequence of the things that you shouldn't be can you follow through this the plans you make and the ones you let get away take away from all this i can promise and have it not mean a thing call me when you see this the half of you that makes the better half of me i could take it i could run it i could break it i could make it

riding a wave of disinterest just surfing the daylight to night like a ghost (i'm talking bout) defeating the need to perceive the difference between the deceased and me i'm just a ghost of me if you say bye for me (bye for me) then i'll say hi for you isn't there anyway that i could stay just for a moment the haunting of a home i promise i won't be too loud faceless wandering i can't see under this sheet with no holes (with no soul) get out wondering where has the time gone and when did we let it go away telling me that i should move along get out floating around with no purpose just haunting the walls i have once felt at home within dying to be something more than i could be i'm just a ghost of me sorry that i lingered for too long reaching for a chance to right these wrongs thought that i would need more time to breathe turns out that i have everything i need i let it go, i set it free i didn't know how to say goodbye goodbye

rolling downhill parks and landfills mechanic dreams of importance likely i'll breathe only if you startle me short circuiting don't show up if you won't stick it through if i'm a mess than so are you turning red just to see me blue i'm not amused some days i don't feel better feel i might go insane i'd rather stay forever than end up in a cage enough with silly people just trying to stay alive too many misdemeanors i got you i got you behave for the love of god i'm trying here believe me when i talk about it won't put you down but you could try harder try harder believe me when i talk about it i don't know what to say i think i've run out of time then take a second to think about the reason behind i'll dive head first through the wall procrastinating the drive reminded of all the smoke glossing over your eyes dance in the kitchen nobody listens carry me out of here don't show up if you won't stick it through if i'm a mess than so are you turning red just to see me blue fuck that, not you calling once isn't good enough breaking down so you'll toughen up always ready to call your bluff speak up, speak up slowly aging out of fear what i would give to say here if i could put it into words never get older, never get older who are you to say i'm wrong? we met when we were so young if i could put it into words never get older, never get older slowly aging out of fear why would anybody leave here? give me reasons not to stay never get older, never get older don't say it often, but i should these feelings wash me over hold my breathe underwater submerge myself forever for the shallows of whatever else

waste away like paper planes and vacant trains (tunnels in your veins) a flight without a pilot but the trip is the same (i'll just stay awake) burn it all away take me to the place where i can sleep in flowers (gardens rooting me) picking petals i can build a shelter from the showers (overgrown and sweet) burn it all away i could ride a dragon straight through the sun take me to the skies and melt away my armour but i won't die i won't die flames burn on but i don't feel it i am not afraid crown of fire placed on my head i am not afraid boulders broke the teeth mouth of a cave torches light the throat up i see i'm not so brave venture to the black squint your weary eyes bats fly overhead but you're taking it in stride burning, i'm burning led me through the depths a reservoir of glass looking from above it reflections of the past engine pounds away a crack on the surface i can't look away, no i can't look away burning, i'm burning flames burn on but i don't feel it i am not afraid crown of fire placed on my head i am not afraid
