Good Is Better Than Better

Adore You

is there another world you know, and do you burn
if you can tell me how it goes, i will learn
i'm keeping a rigour on the snow, to wait and see
i'm seeing it quiver from below, below the leaves

for every wreck i still believe in the greatest life and the stickiest leaves
you say it in a foreign tongue, you don't know a thing about the things i've done to keep on loving that heavenly face

time is the only thing i know, the middle of your mixed up six words, nothing more
my love is proud, my love is small
my love is a friday pouring and a black wave cresting and crashing down the living room shore i've known it before, love
sacred ground, i made a sound, did i make it right
enough, go along, i know i was wrong about my might

// alpine //

cowering stalk, 
turning blue by the bed it's true i cry better than i talk
touching me, breathing please, wildest dreaming's what i mean by these crippling codes
still i'll be sorry to see you go

cavalier, don't you keep me near
am i only kind, am i only dear
cherry hill, i don't look a thing like that
you know that i never have
you know that i never will

this alpine breeze,
at some point it just got easy, could you ever displease me
honestly leave it be to make my pitiful peace that i was something else before
giddy in the morning tearing through the columns at the grocery store

cavalier, don't you keep me near
am i only blind, was it always clear
cherry hill, i don't look a thing like that
you know that i never have
in the morning i'll be tearing, staring still

grieving from an older touch
don't tell me now i know so much
we'd hardly even just begun
who's your one

come on here, why'd you come so near
was it furious fire, was i the only one here
kindling the cold and heavy
shut up if you're so unsteady
it doesn't take a lot to persuade me
frosted in the tide
my lonely satellite
the only lullaby

// paris 12 //

somewhere by the corner stove
i said the words that i was told
ecstatic, scared and daring to believe

death and dearness down in streams
magnets and strawberry dreams
follow every god and every grief

laughed and shaking in the cold
love or taking, i don't know
stumbling in the silent annecy

careful creatures they can be
but stroke their skin and scrape their knees
and say it's hard to say before you leave

paris makes me feel alone
but yours is something of its own
i'm clawing every crevice in the car

don't be guilty, don't be brusque
it's not a thing that you can lose
the girl i am, the galaxy you are

up to every honest hour
some were truths and some were far removed, i hear
tried and tired's what you know
but me a quiet souvenir to hold, well here

don't be guilty, don't be brusque
it's not a thing that you can lose
the girl i am, the galaxy you are

Paris 12

// grime //

lily my lullaby you sing to me through the thunderstorm
you know you're the first of a kind that's ever happened to me
you've got a beautiful voice but do you know it's been raining for years now
it's been raining for years now, before you babe

i'm not your sacred dove, and you're not in love with me
you're not in love with me, babe
i'm choking up across the line
i'm sorry that it's so surprising
i wanted you to see me shining

cocoon are you far flown enough to see that i learnt to love in a wicked way
there's someone i'm trying to be
and i get so proud, i begin to shout you're no catastrophe
i said you're no catastrophe, do you hear me

and i'm not your sacred dove, and you're not in love with me
you're not in love with me, babe
tender heathen home of mine
you're loveable in gold and grime
i just want to be wrong this time

i'm not your sacred dove
i'm not the one you love
i'm not the one you love

// speak up selah //

speak up selah, be clear
i know you've spent your years
speaking in riddles to avoid being in the middle of things

this freshly bleached dog eared page
lion cub in a cage
perfect seeing now made blind from a million state lines away

you hang your defeat above the beds that you sleep
said it's always been this way
i knew i was born just to creep through the thorns and never see your face

wake up selah, it's dark
i don't need to see to know you've made your mark
a bruise shaped like britain from a story you'd written when you were five

i didn't mean to be weak
i only tried to make you speak
but now it's me blabbering mad how you make me so goddamn glad to be alive

the blame that you need for the shame that you keep to have made you this way
i know i was born just to creep through the thorns and never see your face

speak up selah, be clear about your pitying words
is there nothing you fear
make me the villain for the hole that you're filling today

your body's a state of decay
still you rise and fall with the day
ghost in the mirror while this world withers away

Sticky Leaves (Cabo San Remix)

you're going blind, you're getting pissed
night after night you're like, decipher this
i know i'm fifteen in your head
i know it's fizzling like you said
so let it bother me instead

think you were promised something more
some treasure after your tragedies before
a couple hours to the top
i never stopped until you stopped
now that's one paycheck out the door

you were heaven sent in my head
but god knows the glory you've seen
you can let it fall in your lap
you can say it's not what you mean
i won't make a scene

at least we're shaking our hands
at least i think i'll feel something like this again
and anyway your picture frames
turned out smaller than you claimed
so let's just go make other plans

'All Of Our Friends Know'

Man what a surprise, you’re pulling up 
with all of your feelings down at this speakeasy
Where we’re knocking our teeth, kissing like in dreams
Sober for the first time
I don’t know what to say now that you’ve
made such a roundabout confession; I’ve got my own questions
about how we make each other make bad decisions

But there’s some kind of precision in both our thinking
I know when I’m faking, and this ain’t like it
I’m saying what you’re saying

Said we’d be better than them but we’re the same
I’m taking your hand and now we’re taking the blame
I think I could love you
I wanna be good, babe, I wanna be free
I see it in you, I know you see it in me
I think I could love you

Even then, I’m tiptoeing with my lightest steps
and I’ve inherited all of my dad’s bad habits:
I won’t be coming to yours
I won’t be saying the word
I want to hear it from you first
Wear it out of you like I do my best blue jacket
We’re downtown Austin causing a racket
By now all of our friends know
It’s time to get gone
It’s time to go home

And the timing’s not yet right
But there’s something undeniable
I know what you’re saying
I’m saying what you’re saying

Said we’d be better than them but we’re the same
I’m taking your hand and now we’re taking the blame
I think I could love you
I wanna be good, babe, I wanna be free
I see it in you, I know you see it in me
I think I could love you

I’m telling them all of these lies for you, baby
You’re drowning out all of the noise for my sanity
And we’re so deep down our shit to be flawless
I can’t even think about how we used to be before this, I love you

I think I could love you

Self Control

The latest body of work from Linying, House Mouse is the sound of an artist rediscovering the joy of creating with total abandon. In an evolution of her acclaimed debut album There Could Be Wreckage Here—a 2022 release made with musicians like former Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla—the Singapore-born singer/songwriter follows her intuition toward a kaleidoscopic form of dream-pop elevated by her enchanting voice (an element she’s previously brought to her breakout single “Sticky Leaves” and to a series of massively successful collaborations in the electronic world). Both effervescent and emotionally intimate, the result is proof of the wild magic that comes from letting go and leaning into your most unfettered impulses.
