Live At Smartbar with Partiboi69

fists fulls of rage
birthing from a deep down place

no time
for reckoning 
while my arms are moving

again, again, again, again, again, again

sun shines on skin, till we burn to dust
smoke me up

arms and legs are parted, but I’m living to tell the tale

bury my ashes in ashtrays

Living to tell the tale

Nothing New

Closer

the great narrator just told me
the garden of eden is closing
said maybe they'll reopen
with sponsorships and tokens

a screen on the wall with pictures of nature
behind the stucco's another sucker

a famous tree once lived here
moved out not too long ago
where it went i'm not sure
i don't get its mail anymore 

you've been saying a while how 
every piece of plastic you've ever touched 
is here forever, and there's so much 

a screen on the wall with pictures of nature 
behind the stucco's another sucker

i don't want to get fried this summer

a screen on the wall with pictures of nature
behind the stucco's another sucker
me and them we can try to change our habits
but the back door's the best way of slipping back in

Pictures Of Nature

i could not tell you how i found it 
i couldn't tell you how to get there
i couldn't tell you how that felt
i couldn't tell you how i want to try

i wish i could fall back asleep
i wish i wasn't so tired
i wish i had more time to spare
i wish i could find more time 

used to know my best friend's number
didn't think it could get so bad
used to know less about strangers
thought i knew myself much better

back when i could think clearly 
back when i could remember
back when i could sleep silently
when i thought i could do it all

if i could only take the next step
if i could only make the right call
if i could only watch it play out
if i could try to stop it all

used to know my best friend's number
didn't think it could get so bad
used to know less about strangers
thought i knew myself much better

Much Better

can't always get what you don't understand
this is a practice in patience
it's only moving so quick
because you failed to act 

this is a grave situation 

under your nails and it's moving fast
now we must contain it

what's beyond "beyond" is not my concern 
skip out on facts, might cost you your term

I can't shake the feeling that each step back 
drives the nail in deeper

you can't keep up with yourself when you're moving so fast
this is a practice in patience

A Practice In Patience

Wax Charmer is a series of contradictions, a Los Angeles-based rock band whose three members wield widely
contrasting tastes and musical styles.

The trio’s diverse collection of influences ultimately makes its members more informed and nuanced musicians.
It’s this blend of sonic perspectives that culminates in a brand of rock music that is truly organic.

It’s evident on “Suburban Replay,” the group’s debut EP, released Feb. 21. The four songs skate between
slick Bossa-Nova jams, hard-hitting funk grooves and infectious 90s-inspired vocal hooks.

Wax Charmer is Jordan H. Kleinman (vocals, guitar), Henry Kuckens (guitar) and Jacob Lauing
(drums).
