LYRICS:

I know the difference between me and you
You use your colors I save some for you

I fell for the net
When it wasn't even there
I fell reached for your phantom limbs

You numb your sadness but also your joy
You're not Jack Kerouac stop riding your voids

I fell for the net
When it wasn't even there
Yes, I reached for your phantom limbs
I fell for the net
When it wasn't even there
Yes I reached for your phantom limbs

You'll never show, show me your universe
You'll never show, show me your universe
You'll never show, show me your universe

Yes I fell for the net
When it wasn't even there
Yes, I reached for your phantom limbs
You'll never show me your universe

LYRICS:
There's a beach down in San Diego
It knows all the names of your guitars
But I wanna know how long
It'll take you to play this song

Will we get to Mars?
Will we get to Mars?

I know all about your ego
But I wanna keep you warm
So tell me how long
It'll take you to sing along

Will we get to Mars?
Will we get to Mars?

Loving you's like fighting with a dull sword
Loving you's like fighting with a blindfold
Loving you's like fighting for peace

Will we get to Mars?
Will we?

The record was recorded and mixed by long-time friend and collaborator Gabriel Galvin of Fourfoot Studios (Brooklyn, NY) along with contributions from former producer Bryan Senti (Mark Ronson, Rufus Wainwright, Feist), Lyenn (Mark Lanegan), and the Budapest Film Orchestra. Mastered by Patrick Brown at Different Fur Studios (San Francisco, CA). All songs are written by Chiara Angelicola. Album Art by Mario Santizo (Guatemala City, Guatemala).

Lyrics:
A walk in the park feels like a flat tire
Waking up before eight feels like I’m on fire
             		    
And I know in my heart that I’ve done all I can		
Yet I feel in my mind the weight of my plans

Going on a date feels like a testimony
My thumb has retired from selecting a jury

And I know in my heart that I’ve done all I can
And I know I will hurt again, but I know I will love again

Yes I know I will hurt again, but I know I will love again

Lyrics:
I can remember the first time that it happened
I don’t think I felt totally out of control
But then I learned, and I did it again
and, oh, it felt right

I felt like I was right about everything, anything, who are you
Don’t take this feeling from me, let me drown in my soliloquy
Soliloquy, soliloquy, soliloquy

I had pled the fifth, and I swam in my tropes
I was so afraid of what my brain might do if they should know
If they should know, if they should know, if they should know
If they should know, if they should know

And here I am today, look at me now, I’m scared shitless
But I have my real hair
a fair complexion, my real fingertips
and I feel it all, I feel it all, I feel it all, I feel it all

And it’s all I can do
It’s all I got
It’s all I can do
It's all I got

Soliloquy

Lyrics:
Listen in awe as they surrender
Hysteric laws to logic
Phantom limbs, oh so reverent
Humorous, light, and dark

Listen to how they tell me, get better
Listen to how they tell me

How I surrender extremities
Sophisticated clamor
This is how I rectify 
The past
Empower

Listen to how they tell me, get better
Listen to how they tell me

This is the story of how I get myself back up		
I’ve got to fall down twice before I learn it once
And now I’m flying high, levitating in my mind
I’m free of it, free of us, free of your mind
I’m free of your concerns I’m not your perfect girl
I’m not the harvard wife, the healing nurse, your mother, or your shrink
I know I said some hateful things before you walked out the door
But I swear it, I mean it, you were a fucking coward
I swear it, I mean it, you were a fucking coward
I swear it, I mean it, you were a fucking coward

Lyrics:
I believe there is meaning in the morning 
When this house is overrun with my thoughts of you
You took away all my organs and you hid them, 
You buried them in the park with my SOS

SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish

I took away all the sadness and replaced it 
But you brought it back to me, faithfully 
You did, good boy, nice job, good boy

SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish

Pain is relative to the fear of you
Fear is relative to the cost
Cost is relative to the loss of my own mind
With time, with time, with time, with time

SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish
SOS, it’s the year of the dogfish

I believe there is meaning in the morning 
When my house is overrun with my fear of time
Of time, of time, of time, of time

Lyrics:
Kindness is a muscle with you
I’ll stretch it till I strain it with you
I’ll run a marathon and then I’ll rest for days
Yes, kindness is a muscle with you

It doesn’t mean I don’t wish you the best
It doesn’t mean that I can’t let you go
It doesn’t mean that I don’t see your side of it all
It’s just that kindness is a muscle with you

Oh yes, forgiveness is what I’ve got left to do

Kindness is a Muscle

Lyrics:
I can hear the sirens in my lungs
Making room for what’s to come
Swimming in my man-made lake
The depths of which I do not know

I’m screamin’ false alarms, false alarms

Nothing seems to prove to me it’s real
I can barely tell you what I feel
If I don’t drain this lake I’ll drown
And they’ll tell, at the bottom, the american mind was found

She was screamin’ false alarms, false alarms

My delusions, I have sold them
All I trust in is the moment
All I’m left with is my american mind
What a scary thing to raise

Oh I’m swimming in the depths of wasted time
Oh I’m swimming in the depths of wasted time
Oh I’m swimming in the depths of wasted time

False Alarms

Lyrics:
Out comes the dust rolling out the tumbleweed
The tumbleweed is so romantic
But the tumbleweed will never, ever grow
From the tumbleweed comes my serpent song
I’m a cobra mama
I know your venom, your venomous lies
Cuz I wear them so well, where em like perfume
My perfume, your venomous lies
I’m a cobra mama

Honey, sugar baby, love me, yum yum
Yick yack, touch my venomous mind
You’ll do anything you want
But I won't feed your venom, your venomous mind
All he wants to do is fuck my body, shake my brain
All the yick, yack from your venomous mind, your tumbleweed mind
The locus of your weakness, I know your weakness
Your venomous mind
Cuz I’m a cobra mama, I know your venom
Your venomous lies

Lyrics:
I know whatever love needs, it’ll take
That’s not to say it’s given
I know whichever heart aches, it’ll break
Who’s to know the privilege

Cuz the heart will break when it’s most wanted
Yet a heart can break when it’s most hardened
Oh, fuck it, I don’t know
Oh, fuck it, I don’t know

What’s the walk if you won’t talk it out
Come on, let’s talk about it, baby
Oh, these days everyone ghosts out
But I just wanna feel you out

Yes the heart will break when it’s most wanted
Yet a heart can break when it’s most hardened
Oh, fuck it, I don’t know
Oh, fuck it, I don’t know

I know whatever love needs it'll take

Fuck It, I Don't Know

Lyrics:
A little liquid courage makes the doves fly
They land on my shoulder, tell me lies
Sublime marked with terror, it’s my curse            
How beauty can be so absurd, hysteria

And all my life I’ve learned how to apotheosize all of the pain
And call it soul, or call it art, or call it human, I am tired of the shame

A little liquid courage makes the doves cry
They land on my shoulder, they need company

And all my life I’ve learned how to apotheosize all of the pain
And call it soul, or call it art, or call it human, I am tired of the shame

Doves

Since its inception in 2009, Chiara Angelicola’s most well-known project Bird Call has lured fans and perked ears from music critics like Under the Radar, who described Bird Call as "dangerous and romantic, emoting over a bed of cinema-worthy synths like Grimes on downers."  Because of the artist’s known propensity towards a mercurial presence and sound, she is always evolving, yet rooted in a foundation of vulnerable lyrics and a voice that WNYC describes as “direct and impassioned”. Since her 2011 International Songwriting Competition win for “Best Performer”  beside pop artist, Kimbra, Angelicola has gone on to share the stage with artists such as Angel Olsen, Empress Of, Kyp Malone’s Rain Machine, Ice Balloons, Donna Lewis and Reptar. In the last decade, Angelicola has released five EPs and two LPs. Bird Call’s music has been licensed for widespread use and heard on several television networks including Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Fox, and Lifetime.
Bird Call's forthcoming LP, Year of the Dogfish, set to be released in 2019, is Angelicola's first full-length release since her Will We Get to Mars LP (Zap Records, 2013), which was produced by Bryan Senti (Feist, Mark Ronson, Rufus Wainwright), and which The Guardian stamped as “heart-burstingly lovely”. Since then, Chiara additionally released two EP’s with her second project, Motel Pools, Volume I (2015) and Volume II (2016), with the former produced by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio.
