Snowed In (feat. Rivers Cuomo)

[Intro]
I gave you chances I never should’ve given,
Loved you harder than I ever should’ve lived in.
You turned my heart into a battlefield,
Now I finally found a peace you’ll never steal.
You think I’ll break… you think I’ll crawl…
Nah… I’m done with that shit once and for all.

[Verse 1]
I used to break myself just to keep you whole,
Played therapist, parent, savior, and soul.
You’d blow up every night like chaos was your drug,
Then cry into my chest like I was supposed to hug
The same damn storm that ripped me apart,
You’d hurt me twice then ask for my heart.
I kept forgiving shit I should’ve never let slide,
Kept swallowing pain, pretending I was fine inside.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m done bleeding for somebody who loves the pain,
Done begging for sunshine while you worship the rain.
You can call me cold, heartless, selfish, out of touch,
But sorry bitch, I love my peace too damn much.

[Chorus]
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
To let your drama keep messing me up.
I don’t miss the fighting, the crying, the distrust,
You wanna spin the block of pain? Nah, I’m good, I’m done, I’m dust.
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
And I’m not giving that up just to feel your toxic touch.
Call me ruthless, call me mean, call it whatever you want,
But I finally found quiet… and I’m guarding it like a goddamn crown.

[Verse 2]
You only loved me when I was kneeling, broken and tired,
Only called me “everything” after every bridge you set on fire.
You’d swear you’d change, then twist the knife fast,
Apologize in the morning, and fuck it up by night’s last.
I kept shrinking myself to fit your storm,
Kept setting myself on fire just to keep you warm.
But I’m done being a graveyard for your guilt,
Done carrying shame I never even built.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to beg me now that I’m standing tall,
You don’t get access just ‘cause you’re scared to fall.
Yeah, maybe I’m different, maybe I’m out of touch,
But I’d rather be distant than drowning in your clutch.

[Chorus]
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
To let your chaos ever pull me back up.
You can cry, scream, curse, say I never gave a fuck,
But I did, too much, and that nearly fucked me up.
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
And no, I’m not lonely, I’m healed, I’m tough.
You were my lesson, not my forever, not my crutch,
And I’m not coming back… not ever, not once.

[Bridge]
You’ll say I’m heartless now that I’m finally free,
But where was your heart when you were breaking me?
Where was your love when I was drowning in your mess?
Where was your care when I couldn’t breathe from stress?
Now you wanna play the victim since I found my light,
But peace feels better than any toxic “love” at night.
You were my chaos, my storm, my crash,
Now you’re just a memory I finally outgrew at last.

[Breakdown]
So take your games, your guilt, your lies, your blame,
Take the endless arguments, the never-ending pain.
I’m choosing naps, quiet nights, laughter, trust,
Choosing freedom, healing, growth, and us, meaning me. Just me.

[Final Chorus]
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
To ever let you drag me back into that fucked-up rush.
No more tears, no more fights, no more “maybe we could,”
No more pretending you’d ever treat me good.
Sorry bitch, I love my peace too much,
And I’m finally choosing me, choosing calm, choosing touch
That doesn’t hurt, doesn’t bleed, doesn’t break me as such,
Sorry bitch…
But my peace means too damn much.

[Outro]
So don’t call, don’t text, don’t spin me your lies,
Don’t show up crying with regret in your eyes.
You had your chance… you burned it to dust,
Now I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing trust,
Trust in myself, trust in healing, trust in truth…
And none of that includes you.
Yeah… you lost me.
And I swear to God…
I’m never losing my peace again.

Sorry Bitch, I Love My Peace Too Much

For many bands, making music is all about the routine of recording an annual album, or being able to tour in progressively bigger venues.  Not Matt and Kim.  "Our goal is to make music we want to hear," says Matt Johnson, who co-founded the band with Kim Schifino. "When it comes time to make a new album, I'm just so excited, since I know we have all these ideas and I just want to get them out there."  As for the band's extra-emphatic live shows, which these days happen in large venues, he explains, "We've always just really enjoyed playing music, and things have kept growing." 
 
Matt and Kim's enthusiasm comes across loud and clear on the band's last album, Lightning, its most diverse and developed to date.  From the relentless drive of “Now” to the dance-fueled beat of “Let’s Go” to the more contemplative “Ten Dollars I Found,” Lightning is the strongest distillation yet of Matt and Kim’s unique sound: a spunky hybrid of indelible songs, an emphatic beat and almost tangible energy, mixed with the duo’s influence of listening nonstop to Top 40 Hip-Hop and pop-punk.
 
To make the album, Matt and Kim spent six months working in their home studio in Brooklyn, producing the record themselves. Lightning is a touch more minimal than their earlier work – with layers taken away, instead of added, enabling its intense performances and memorable tunes to really come to the forefront. “What’s made the songs on this album really strong is we’ve been able to pull a lot off – to not have so much going on – and still have a strong song,” Kim explains.
 
“It’s easier to make a song with a lot going on,” Matt adds. “It feels very safe. It’s like putting on a lot of clothes: you feel all covered up so no one can judge just one aspect of it, but when you try to break it down to be as simple as can be, you’re really baring it all.  When you can see clearly what’s going on, those are the times that the songs are easiest to connect to.”
 
Connecting with their audience is certainly a key focus for Matt and Kim.  The indie dance duo’s live shows – which are legendary for constant, in-your-face exuberance – feel more like vibrant, sweaty loft parties than traditional concerts, for both audiences and the band. “I think we’ve managed to continue to make them feel intimate,” says Matt. “When we first started playing venues instead of playing on the floor at parties, we tried hard to keep the vibe of ‘we’re all doing this together and having a wild time’ going.  The show is not just the two of us: it’s the 3002 of us, or however big the venue is.”  Or, as in the words of Rolling Stone: “Matt and Kim’s reputation as a live act precedes them – and justifiably so. Simply put, they are a two-person dynamo, frantic, tightly wound, and full of good cheer. Their performances are as physical as they are musical. . . . For sheer adrenaline-per-second, no other band comes close.”

The band started in 2004, essentially by accident when Matt and Kim were art students at the prestigious Pratt Institute, where they studied film and illustration, respectively.  When Kim wanted to learn to play drums and Matt (who'd been in bands before) was getting his head around a new keyboard, the band was born. Since then, they have earned a Gold Record for the upbeat, stick-in-your-head track "Daylight," played festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, along with international festivals like V (U.K), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Fuji (Japan), Big Day Out (Australia), Primavera (Spain), Oya (Norway), SWU (Brazil), as well as hundreds of shows. They have won 3 MTV awards: a Breakthrough Video Music Award and mtvU Best Video Woodie Award for “Lessons Learned”, as well as a 2011 award for Best Live Band. Lightning is the band's fourth album, following Sidewalks, Grand, and their self-titled debut.
 
Matt and Kim have always been inspired by Brooklyn’s general urban din as well as the area’s artists, yet Matt points out, “I don’t think a place can define a person. We simply write songs about us and our life so that’s why where we live comes up.”
 
Indeed, there’s something universal about a song with a beat that grabs you, with a great melody, played by a band that simply loves to play music.  And that, in Williamsburg and way beyond, is the key to the universal appeal of Matt and Kim.
