it is not fair
you changing all the rules at the last minute
i will not keep up
it's moving way too fast and i'm dying just to speak up
if i don't see you
take a little breath, ingest some of the darkness for me
i'm not gonna see you
taking all my stuff out to the dumpster just to spite you
it swallowed me whole
i can see now i'm too lost in the curtains
it broke me in
in the process i became 6 million pieces too many
if i don't see you
take a little breath, ingest some of the darkness for me
i'm not gonna see you
taking all my stuff out to the dumpster just to spite you
all that's left
is the end
all that's left is in the end
all there is
is the end
all there is is in the end

and i know you like to drift
an ocean of reply
but you are
forcing me to siiiiiiink in your deadliest grey waters
so i follow you around.
like some kind of 2 eyed freak - and i was sure i heard you speaking but instead you are just breathing
i follow you around.
like some kind of 4 eyed freak - and i can see it in your eyes while you're checking out other guys
...and i know
things haven't been so...
extra ordinary
(expecting a world class multi-organ motherfucking transplant)
...and i am some kind of
...typical
centralized organ failure
so i follow you around like some kind of two-eyed freak
and i was sure i heard you speaking but instead you are just breathing
i follow you around
like some kind of
four-eyed freak
and i can see it in your eyes-you're still checking out other guys
and i know.
oh little one.
i know.
i know
but could you follow me around?
like some kind of
...two eyed freak
(i'd like to turn around and see you are still looking at me)
could you follow me around?
...like some kind of four eyed freak
give me something to hold onto something i could stick around to

this is raw desperation
i've seen the look on your face
words dropping to the floor
since when it rains, it pours
but can you hold on, hold on?
i know i'm pleading all the time like some sorry, stupid joke
but can you hold on? hold on
i know i'm bleeding all the time
try to learn to make it stop
this is a selfish nightmare
THE LIVING BREATHING EXAMPLE
thinking everyone's aiming for me
when nothing's going on
but can you hold on? hold on
i know i'm pleading all the time
i am a sorry, boring joke
but can you hold on? hold on?
i know i'm bleeding all the time
try to learn to make it stop
please let this bridge hold us
please let this bridge hold us
please let's not get carried away
please hold my hand while we sleep
please hold my hand while we sleep
please hold my hand and stay
please hold my hand and stay

maybe
i
just
need
a
little
expression
maybe it comes from a bottle so tall
playing with katie shen and jamie in their attic practice space
it's so hot
i feel
the sweat
and fluids
crawl
puuuuuuurple lips
feeling strong
now my inhibition's almost gone
i will be here for the rest of my life
what am i saying?
i will be here for the rest of the night
my anxiety eats at me most of the time
but when i'm with you, BABY, that stuff falls
behind
getting wasted
feeling right
and i will fall again tonight
in the morning
checking new bruise discoveries
puuuuuuuuurple lips
check the mirror
how is it
things are so vaguely
becoming clear?
i am usually so trapped but now i'm free
i am usually so trapped inside of me
truth
maybe it's truth that i still seek
when i'm falling down and it always comes spilling out of me
growth
and opening of the mind
because i don't mind this bar
and sitting in it
here with adam tonight

oh ya
oh yeah
hit the ground running
so aggressive
get possessive
destroy every single part that you have loved
it's your way of making your whole world crumble
oh no
OH no
falling apart now
get possessive
so aggressive
make it too hard for him
you are haunting every piece of glorious sunlight
sinking chest
murderous gestures
you are killing again
you are creating dead ends
sinking chest
murderous gestures
you are killing again
you are creating dead ends
you are dead ends
you are dead ends
you are dead ends
you are dead ends

If you like 2 winters and you, you may also like:
War Balloons
by Guante and Big Cats
supported by 5 fans who also own “2 winters and you”
This is an awesome sequel to their 2012 work. Perfect for the bizarre Darkest Timeline reality we all now inhabit. Poignant and real and magical and hopeful and realistic without ever getting fatalistic. And it bangs, too.

Well Soon
by Walter Mitty and his Makeshift Orchestra
Summer sounds from San Luis Obispo just waiting for a backyard BBQ, mason jar cocktails, and fairy lights.
go to album
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.

A Mutable Feast or: The Ghost of a Flea
by John Donne
Lovely folk-based music with soft corners and dreamlike melodies, full of fairy-tale-like enchantment.
