Called To Say I'm Leaving

Fishing Hook Riff and Missed The Memo 2

Missed The Memo 2

I sit in water
Wasting down the side
Did you get the memo
Must have missed it on my way back home

When the sun rises still
And the birds sing their song
Know it's okay
I'm just fine	

And the hardest part of doing this is lying.
My friend, i'm not as tough

My friend feel the weight of it all
Except I'm not that tall
Something special in my life

A friend

Fishing Hook & Missed The Memo 2

i know you've got more
that you wanted to do
if you wanted to stay here
we could

and i'll stay by your side
because that's what good friends do
if you wanted to be there
i bet you'd miss it too

IM BY YOUR SIDE
I KNOW WHAT'S UP
YOU'RE IN MY CORNER
AND WE'RE PUNCHING UP

Am I Courtney Barnett Yet?

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
to even the odd
put your faith in the animal

trust in fresh bone
in the body it’s grown
chaos is nothing but chance,
blind energy lost in a dance

You don’t have to pick a side
since noone’s right
you we’re taught to accept
what you’re here to defy

you can let the people pray through the week
find a way of turning the other cheek
and Justify their every action
with the teachings of a faction
see them burn by the fires that take them

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
bury your god

you don’t need to believe a lie
or to testify
you belong to this world
and will long after you die

you can let the fuckers prey on the weak
add up all the points in their kill streak
or you can give an ultimatum
allow the time to understand why people hate em,
or burn by the fires that made em

Loose Tooth

Killstreak

Support

in my dreams they’re in the kitchen 
they sit on you as they eat their breakfast off of my spine
our cruel beautiful bind

as your legs begin to splinter and bow
no one will share this pain that we own 
Marisol

in the morning you are different
you wake so easy and drag the comb right through my hair
tie my shoes, get me fed

Mary, i want for you to blister and bleed
stay sick and drown in late night tv
i’m your little pet, you’re my everything
Marisol

Love You Til I Die

I Could Have Gone To That Party? demo

I saw a woman standing with a thousand acre gaze.
She was peering past the pelicans, beyond the breaking waves.
I think she felt me lookin cuz she turned and looked right back,
looked me up and down and asked me, "What you lookin at?"
I said, "That's kinda funny, I was gonna ask the same.
What is it your staring at beyond the breaking waves?"
She looked back to the ocean, wrapped her fingers round the rail,
stood up on her tippy toes and said "I'm watchin whales!"

I said, "Standing on the shore? That's not the way to watch a whale,
you need a motor boat with motors, or a sail ship with sails,
you sweep em with your sonar and then chase them through the sea,
That's the way to watch a whale, I watched it on T.V."
Suddenly she lit up and she shouted, "Look at that!"
I didn't see the whale, but I saw the massive splash.
The woman whipped around and with a whale of a smile said.
"The way to watch a whale is to wait a little while!"

Chorus:
Some say heaven's in the sky
But if the devil's in the details. so is the divine.
This world is heaven in disguise
I could see it, I could see it in that whale watchers eyes.

I wiggled in my wetsuit, wished the whale watcher well,
then wandered to the water to go swimmin with the swell
I stumbled cross a surfer and he said "Cu Cu Cachoo?"
I said "Nada mucho, are you watchin whales too?"
He said "Theres no whales here, we're way to close to shore,
I'm here to ride a gnarly wave on my brand new surfing board"
Then he turned back to the ocean, looked down and he sighed,
"I haven't seen a whale since the day that I went blind."

I asked him how it happened and he said "the fault was mine,
You can never be to careful when you're brewin your own shine."
That's when I knew this guy was crazy, bout as crazy as they get
when suddenly he lit up and he yelled "Here comes a set!"
The wave he caught was massive, even bigger than a whale,
He went swoopin down the glassy face and shootin out the barrel.
I said "How the hell'd you catch a wave you couldn't even see?"
He said "Man, I didn't catch that wave, I let the wave catch me!"

Chorus:
Some say heaven's in the sky,
But if the devil's in the details, so is the divine,
This world is heaven in disguise.
I could see it, He couldn't see it, But I could see it in that blind old surfer's eyes

Some say heaven's in the sky,
But if the devil's in the details, so is the divine,
This world is heaven in disguise.
I can see it, Can you see it?? I can see it in everybody's eyes!
