The last song I'll release before my debut album "The Way We Were" drops 4/16/21 on Z Tapes. You can preorder a cassette on my bandcamp: https://matthewleger.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-we-were 

lyrics:

hello it's been awhile
found an old birch stump just to trace the lines
box of polaroids freckled with the mildew of time 
singin old songs pry your name out but they don't rhyme 

spent every day on the brink of dust   
laminated sun only sleep if we must
oh i've never thought so hard about you before

threw it all away just to sleep on the couch
drinkin jet fuel from a dixie cup spout
if i could just tell you everything i'd be good

roused a half-finished heaven out of summer ash
limbo spinnin' sweet, bottleneck in my head
you waft over everything i sip like a match 

hear the sobbing from the greenery 
everyone says that i need to see but
we both know what weeps in the viscera of grass

am i heading over
or just passing through
will it ever look beautiful again
if it doesn't in the sun
if it doesn't in the sun
if it doesn't in the sun

If you find love, don't just throw it away.

Warm

i want to disappear 
i dont like this cruel youth 
keep walking and try to stay alive 
keep walking and try 
keep waking and try to stay alive 

i want to disappear 
i dont like this cruel youth 
keep walking and try to stay alive 
keep walking and try 
keep waking and try to stay alive 

i dont like this cruel youth 
i want to disappear 
im getting sick of going out 
im getting sick 
im getting sick of going out

Stop The World:

And it seems as if the worlds going crazy
It looks as though theyve got the wrong idea

If what they say is true
Ill stop the world from turning me from you
Theres nothing left to do

And it seems as if the worlds going crazy
It looks as though theyve got the wrong idea
Got The Wrong Idea

As if faith waits for pillars of proof, well so do you
With a head full of history too, said “feeling cute”
Still, we’re all going home in an ambulance
Best stay cognisant, someone to give the driver directions

Of, blind ambivalence, in the aftermath.
A reckless optimist, of symbolic swells.
We’re all just playing along, two flaws in unison.
Overcome with overthought, until we’re inside out.

Back stepped, all things, conscious, comets, honest, summits

My inklings fade with false alarms
Her ink face decorates his arms
Tied perfect knots around the tubes
And your mother looks confused
Because you still buy baby’s shoes
Just one’s you know you’ll never use
Spoken like the truest friend
So, make a move, I’ll make the next

The moment passed, it came and went
It never started, never ends

Traced steps, flawless, conscious, comets, secret, handshakes, complex, dissuade, obsessed, haunted,
safe space, flightless, nervous, oh nothing!
