Lyrics:
Oh yes, a regular Antoinette
She rolls her own cigarettes
Never takes second best
I was going to say hello before it's time to go
She used to be a rebel, still wears denim though
I said that I like your coat
She don't act surprised
She's talking
But I know she's only listening half the time

These days will all seem better in time
Waiting on that hindsight

I caught you sleeping in my bathroom
I should drive you home now
Every drug you've ever wanted
Tell me are you happy now? Halfway to passing out?
By the time you get the chance to reflect fondly on your life
Congratulations! I know there's regret somewhere in your eyes

These days will all seem better in time
Waiting on that hindsight

Our sister label KEATS//COLLECTIVE recently put out what is arguably one of the best releases in their catalogue. That was Solitaire's "Delayed Pleasure" EP. 
Adam Wawzonek is the man behind that project, and also the man behind the now defunct Nouveau Cliche.
Along with being a synth-god, Adam Wawzonek has been developing a unique, intelligent, and polished jangle-pop project. Formerly known as Timesuck, he has rebranded the project as "Wazonek".

Today, we bring you the first single from his upcoming 10-track LP "Simple Life". 
Simple Life drops 12/31 at group-hug.bandcamp.com

L-I-N-E-R | N-O-T-E-S

Would somebody please take me away?
Waited so long to get away
Would somebody please take me away?
I just need to either fight or flee

To leave my love for the city
To go where no one will find me
To live alone but not lonely
Waiting around’s a drag

I don’t need your friends to see
That I’ve been good as I can be
No I don’t need no sense to see
Them hiding in plain sight

Would somebody please take me away?
Promise to not put me away
Would somebody please take me away?
Can you see there’s no way out for you or me

I don’t need your friends to see
That I’ve been good as I can be
No I don’t need no sense to see
Them hiding in plain sight.

Oh what a happy surprise to learn that everything ends
Old age is coming up fast
A place is waiting for you just around the bend

Your friends don’t like me
Your folks don’t like me
The kids don’t like me
The cops don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your folks don’t like me
The teacher don’t like me
The church don’t like me

Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me

I’m too high, I’m too slow
Too young, too broke
Too rock n roll
Too plain, I’m too strange
Too late to change
So I lose control

Is it just one of those days you can’t say anything right?
Or am I wasting my time?
A change of scenery could help to change my mind

Your friends don’t like me
Your folks don’t like me
The kids don’t like me
The cops don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your folks don’t like me
The teacher don’t like me
The church don’t like me

Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me
Your friends don’t like me

I’m too high, I’m too slow
Too young, too broke
Too rock n roll
Too plain, I’m too strange
Too late to change
So I lose control
Too smart for my own good
Oh no oh no I’ve been misunderstood
So right, so wrong now
So I guess this is so long

The drivel we used to say
“Fading away isn’t all so bad!”
So I put a record on
Curtains are drawn
It isn’t all so bad
All so bad

Coming out of my shell
Coming up again for air
You wanna play a little game?
How long can we look the other way?
 
Said love’s like waiting on a falling star
Burns out when your eyes are closed
I’m choking on an eyelash
Think of giving up the ghost
 
Pixie cut at the back of the room
Suddenly she’s looking at you
                  (What, who me? Oh no that can’t be)
She said I’ll be a cutie after she takes her medicine
But I was happy cause I hadn’t had mine
                  (Well okay, I’ll come out and play)
 
Ten milligrams and I feel alright
She doesn’t wanna go to sleep tonight
She said love’s like an empty pizza box in the fridge
Optimistic til you open the lid
 
And we all gasp when she takes of her glasses
Who would’ve known she was hiding a queen
                  (Oh we should have known, it’s so obvious)
She puts her toes to the edge of the roof
She’s just an animal with nothing to prove
                  (Nothing but loose ends, nothing but fake friends)
I feel the hurricane up in my chest
I feel the water rise over my head
                  (Just let it in, you can never win)
 
We’re running fast down the fire escape
Ninety-five dollars for the broken vase
Cause I’ll do anything to keep my cool
Fireworks behind the back of the school
 
Well I was in on it but she was the brains
So I’ll be back tomorrow to clean up the eggs
                  (Oh I can explain, I just wanna fit in)
She’ll leave me on the highway with no clothes
Humiliated all the way back home
                  (Oh don’t look so low, it was just a joke)
I’m choking on an eyelash
Choking on an eyelash
(Can somebody help, cause I’m having a fit
Cause I know what I like, but I don’t know when to quit)
 
Lashing out at myself
No one really seems to care

Family Hahas - Eyelash

The first single from Paul DeHaven's "King of Gold" which drops at the GH bandcamp 7/6!

Lyrics:
We’re running out of time
Your heart is on the line
Do you know the route
To the fountain of youth

There’s no life in this city
The minds are off the lights are on
No stars, no hope on the horizon
The night is just like the dawn
But I hear there’s a hole in the sky
So I am gonna pile up everything of use
Trade in my shoes for some feathers made to fly
And go look for the fountain of youth

We’re running out of time
If you’re ready for the climb
We’ll chase after the goose
Where’s the mountain of truth

As I walk through the forest at dusk
I gaze up beyond the firmament
As I wonder what creatures may lurk
A light pours down upon this monument
I believe there’s a hole in the sky
So I am going to pile up everything of use
I am going to build a tower to get high
Looking for the fountain of youth

We’re running out of time
Your heart is just like mine
There is no absolute
There’s no fountain of youth

Paul DeHaven - Fountain Of Youth (King of Gold out 7/6!)

The second single from Paul DeHaven's "King of Gold" which drops at the GH bandcamp 7/6!

Lyrics:
There is no gold out there
There is no gold

You hang your head down
There’s something you hide in your hand
And you hold it as tight as you can
Until you can’t bear the fact that there’s nothing there
To let go of or hold on to
And there never was

There is no gold out there
There is no gold

The secret to being a man
Is pretending that you have
Something other than a fistful of sand
That you hold as tight as you can
Until you can’t bear the fact that there’s nothing there
To let go of or hold on to
And there never was

There is no gold out there
There is no gold
