POV You're In My Head
03:06
|
|||
don't go back there there's nothing but butterflies in my stomach and birds in my brain
i hope that's not a big deal
i can't control, can't control how i feel
close the closet, there's nothing but skeletons, i hope they're really dead
don't listen to them, they only lie, and trust me you don't want to hear
shut your ears
be calm, don't turn around
you don't want to see his face
he hasn't thought of us in years
the tears, they flow when we're in here
i haven't thought of you in years
my tears, they flow when you're in here
every one of you that's clouding up my mind can get in line
and one by one you'll be fine
that's right, you don't choose how you feel
but you choose how you react
and that's a fact
so don't be whack, yea!
i'm doin' fine
everything's fine
won't give up, no i won't give up
i'm doin' fine
everything's fine

|

the years, they pass, and with them the pain
i'm thankful for the love you gave
so how are you - you two?

the heart that once held you no longer has room
so how are you?
please pass me the ladle
put it in my gaping mouth please
so how are you - you two?
the two of you
hope you're doing good
the heart that once held you no longer has room
the heart that once held you no longer has room
the heart that once held you no longer has room
hands held 'cross the table
please pass me the ladle
turkey and a leg

you could never love yourself if you meet me down here
where i've fallen off
help us up
all things that pass someday come back
anything else would be too inhuman
but i can't, i can't, ah...
you are so, so pure, you're pure and it hurts seeing you dirty
come home and clean or be filthy
faaa... it doesn't matter, oooh...
and you're sorry for yourself, again
but you've led me down here
it could never be your fault, i won't let it
i won't let it go, don't you go, not you
i won't let it go, don't you go, it's not over
all things that pass someday come back
anything else would be too inhuman
for her, the world someday comes back
anything else would be too inhuman
for her, the world comes back
someday comes back
anything else would be too inhuman
it would make me sick
oh, you could never kill yourself
you're too wonderful
you're too powerful
you choose now
you choose now
you choose now
you choose
oh, it hurts, oh it burns

You May Do What You Like
03:22
|
|||
there really is no "right"
you may do what you like
in my eyes you'll always be fine
in my eyes you'll always be mine
will my love be your roots or your flowers too?
you must grow away, high away then hide away
or stay
there's an absence of strength as you become what you want to
wherever you grow, your love comes up from your roots
this love has been our roots

Catch Is Baiting Us Back
04:04
|
|||
there's a catch, where there's you there's a catch, and whatever you do you'll say your bait, "You'll be glad you had this time."
there's a catch, where there's you there's a catch, it's baiting us back
last chance masks his fancy, lost and asking to hold up hands
never heard so many kind, ignorant things since we've been here, speaking only smoke at you, we do
we sing to your breathing
you're holding up our hands
you're holding down our heads
you'll bring us back

She's Not Human
05:03
|
|||
she's not human, she's stuck into tunes and this is proving life's tall beauty
life's tall beauties are nothing new, just stuck inside my stubborn mind's eye
stuck inside my stubborn mind's eye, ooh
and it loves you, only you come in and out of sight
so i've let you go
let you go alone
alone
she's not human, she's stuck out of tune and
this is proving life's tall beauty's nothing new and only lies
and its feet are covered in tiny assholes
leavin' shit wherever they step
attention demanding's not necessary
it's filling my lungs and it's been breathing out smoke around you
around you

Hermitian Philosophy
03:40
|
|||
there's not much to say about the end of days
it's okay but it's the same sideways
but there's a use in standing up straight
if all i can do is be the magnitude of my haze
alone in a building of brutalist style
i transform my thoughts onto each tile
but in my haze i don't see what's easily spanned
'cause my thoughts exceed the tiles and gee, i'm reduced again
he's in the clouds and honestly
i hail herm but herm don't hail me
i hail herm but
hermitian philosophy
the conjugates not what it's assumed to be
alone in a building by some architect
i wonder if they know my thoughts don't fit
for the shapes are just far too cubic
it's making me sick, the way they twist my thoughts upon it
talking small talk politics
herm says my opinions ain't worth shit
herm says my opinions ain't worth
and honestly i'm in the clouds
and up here small talk's amplified so loud
he's in the clouds and honestly
i hail herm but herm don't hail me
i hail herm but
hermitian philosophy
the conjugates not what it's assumed to be

Sorry Sally
04:04
|
|||
sally wants to save the world
but she's only just one girl
she buys paper at the grocery store
but then she starts to learn too much
realizes that she's out of touch
and now sally doesn't care anymore
she buys plastic at the grocery store
she spends all of her days drinking
and feels the world's no longer worth saving
she'll get herself a job welding
she doesn't even pick up the phone
that would tell her to come back home
sorry sally
that i said so many lies
i couldn't even keep track of them
i don't know why i did it
i don't care anymore
there's so much shit in my life
i can't even see the bottom of it
if i could i would just quit it
i don't care
andy is a lonely mess
who spends his days trolling for ass
he eats thai food on his own too much
and he's got no one to love
he'd really like somebody to love
and now andy's still a lonely mess
he switched to mexican food but he's still alone
he's in his room with no one to love
but at least he doesn't give a shit
i guess he's makin' some progess
he doesn't even pick up the phone
that would tell him he's not alone
i'm sorry sally
that i said so many lies
i couldn't even keep track of them
i don't know why i did it
i don't care anymore
there's so much shit in my life
i can't even see the bottom of it
if i could i would just quit it
i don't care

|

i love this
i can't stop it
can't control it
i need it
i love this
i can't stop it
can't control it
i need it, and i-
i've heard it so many times - "i can stop any time i like"
don't test me bitch, i'll break you
i love it when you kiss my brain and drench it with your spit
don't you stop it bitch, keep 'em comin'
'cuz i love this
i can't stop it
can't control this
i need it
i love this
i can't stop it
can't control it

I'm Not a Dog
02:49
|
|||
i'd like to take you home and show you a secret
i'd like to hug your smile, cut it out and keep it
when you bring us back to wherever you want to wax on, wax off
alone with you
i'm not a dog 'cuz i'm smart enough to be evil
and yet, i'll take your heart's core and cage it like an animal
i'll keep the keys inside my pocket
when you bring us back to wherever you want to wax on, wax off
all over you
you'll bring us back to wherever you want to look out
one thought leads to another five
and they each imply
a life lived all alone
but in time
i hope you learn to love yourself
yourself
i'll wax on, wax off
that's all it ever means to me

On Land and in the Sea
04:58
|
|||
everything's crazy but we are not
there's so much left to fret about
everything's crazy but it's not us, no
everything's feeling so left out
(right side vocal)
everything's coming in and out
so fast that you cannot relax, no
everything's crazy but it's not us
everything's feeling so left out
everything's crazy but we are not
(left side vocal)
everything's crazy but we are not
there's so much left to fret about, no
everything's coming in and out
so fast that you cannot relax, no
perhaps we have surpassed nature
we find it fun to hold guns
on land and in the sea
on land and in the sea
(right side vocal)
on land and in, on land and in
on land and in, on land and in
(left side vocal)
we've left ourselves under the sea
we've left ourselves under the sea
"gimme one sec, gimme one second..."
he said just as he started the end
(right side vocal)
everything's crazy but we are not
there's so much left to fret about
everything's crazy but it's not us, no
everything's feeling so left out
(left side vocal)
everything's crazy but it's not us
there's so much left to fret about, no
everything's feeling so left out
(backup vocals)
something's calling out from inside us, listen
everything's coming in and out so fast that you cannot relax, no
so much left to fret about, no
everything's coming in and out so
(everything's feeling so left out)
fast that you cannot relax, no
(everything's coming in and out so)
everything's crazy but we are not
(fast that you cannot relax, no)
so much left to fret about
(everything's coming in and out)
everything's crazy but we are not
everything's crazy but it's not us, no
everything's feeling so left out
everything's coming in and out
so fast that you cannot relax, no
so much left to fret about

Pleasantries Chicago, Illinois
Although they claim to be entirely human, Pleasantries’s music is at times as dark as Satan or as lovely as a chorus of angels. Animated videos, boundless guitar shredding, and an effortless fusion of indie rock, symphonic instrumentals, and synthwave grooves meet influences like Jack Stauber, Bill Wurtz and Tally Hall. ... more
