Wiped me off like city leaves 
“We don’t need you anymore 
Your pretension is obsolete” 
We draw circles in each of these outcomes I can no longer predict There’s a funeral in my mind I don’t know who I killed 
Give me time to be around you

I can tell you how the sky looks every day 
I can describe my moods and your moves 
Was I brighter in my youth, 
My early days? 
When I was living under your chest 
I was the moon

I want to know to be 
I want to know how to be 
An absolute nobody 
An absolute nobody 
And absolutely anybody 
Anybody 
Anybody
How could you think I would miss my chance to lose?

Absolute Nobody

I wonder how that must have felt
Looking from that barren land
To the houses full of men

And when you break then you should mend
You should learn to make amends
With rotten roses in your hands

Oh, I’m plastic
Oh, ratchet drastic
Oh, are you ready for it?

Is this how you get your fix? 
Teach a lesson with a kiss
Reach it as far as it fits

There’s a simpler way of saying things
And stranger ways of taking risks
On top of this, you say you’ll miss me?

Oh, I’m plastic
Oh, ratchet drastic
Oh, are you ready for it?

Oh, I’m plastic
Oh, ratchet drastic
Oh love, don’t clench your fists for me

And your windows are down
When the wind blows you out
And your windows are down 
	
And the windows all down
And the wind blows me out
And the windows are down

And your windows are down (Oh, I’m plastic)
When the wind blows you out (Oh, ratchet drastic)
And your windows are down (Oh, are you ready for it?)
	
And the windows all down (Oh, I’m plastic)
And the wind blows me out (Oh, ratchet drastic)
And the windows are down (Oh love, don't clench your fists for me)

Oh, I’m plastic
Oh, ratchet drastic
Oh love, don’t clench your fists for me

Ateş Edecek Misin? | Yüzyüzeyken Konuşuruz cover

If You Want Me | Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová cover

Plastik - Bulkier Noons Remix

Plastik - Easely Remix

A small cover of a sweet song made in a very short period of time with Hayriye Büşra Solak on the ukulele and the vocals,-kisses to our fresh graduate- and me on the guitar and the vocals.

I Call The Stars (Mama Iemanja) | Empty Boat cover

Lazy homemade Regina Spektor cover. I admire Miss Soviet Kitsch. I live in the future. I love this song. I love this machine. And saturday nights. 

Machine | Regina Spektor cover

So a tiny unnecessary track I made, mostly inspired by Grizzly Bear's style. 

More to that, this track was written at 4am in the morning, right after a very very bad dream I had. 

The lyrics go like:

Woke up to distilled noise
Woke up to distilled noise
No words left to speak

In the morning
What you got

Sneer, sneer

In the morning
What you got, shot

(The metabolizer was standing on bare foot 
On the sand house with a fake wig on his head)

I wish I was a magician
Rather than a commuter

But

I don't fear infinity
I don't fear infinity

The Metabolizer

I made all my fat fleshy fingers to moving and plucked all my silly strings and bent all my notes for you. Soft silly music is meaningful magical. How strange it is to be anything at all.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea | Neutral Milk Hotel cover

I happened to revisit an high-school classic of mine. Thanks to songs for saving us.

Line of Best Fit | Death Cab For Cutie cover

sometimes it happens
you gotta spice it up
and sweep your heart

will things fall apart, if I fall apart?
the troubadour's omnipotent, until the song starts

we're falling asleep to the same song

I could sit here, scribble forever about you
and the magic you do
how unprecedentedly happy you make me
"you've been dawning on me"

we're falling asleep to the same song

these are a child's burden of verses
and our converses in reversed time

when we're falling asleep to the same song

We're Falling Asleep to the Same Song (demo)
