Something Tasty 03:43

Why won't you lie? Why won't you lie? Why won't you lie? Oh that's weird You're gettin' by but there will be a time When the truth will have no business here Cover your eyes Your little eyes Go on and hide I'll find a way out of here All in good time All in good time When we're outside we'll try to Absorb the atmosphere Always duck the pigeon holers Promise once the earth is over We'll have space we'll have a ball It's all I want I want it all I want it all Not only some I want a ton Woah I want it all When you're all by yourself Can't you see that you have nothing? Oh Run out of time Run out of time You were all right, just fine but You waited way to long Open your eyes Your little eyes Are you alive? Wrong Formaldehyde Formaldehyde Burning your eyes Coughing, wheezing, nausea Focus on me I'll be your sweet relief You see I soaked up The fucking atmosphere Don't get to tired Don't play no part pretending You're required by some sweet medicine You wear a wire, you play pretend You're fired You haven't been blending in You haven't been blending in You haven't been blending in You haven't been blending in They'll throw chunks of Boiling paper we'll just chew and swallow Brooks could burble from my slobber Cuff your pants and follow I want it all Not only some I want a ton Woah I want it all When you're all by yourself Can't you see that you have nothing? Oh can't you see that you have nothing? Oh can't you see that you have nothing? Oh

Hasta la Vista 03:43

Molten glass only Has one chance forming Once it's cast it can Only shatter like your Plans past college You got your knowledge but You lost your cool man You finished school my enemy Why's that have to be? Why's that have to be? Why's that have to be? Hasta la vista I'll still love you still On my bullshit I'm still on my Pretty little lie Tell my story I died in glory I tried to kill but They took the pill already Now my comfort lurks In a comforter Sing my song for me Please my melody is meek That's no way to be That's no way to be Hasta la vista I'll still love you still On my bullshit I'm still on my Pretty little Lost in the vista I'll still love you still All the bullshit All the cowpie Fertilizes life What're you on about The train of thought left the station hours ago Now I don't know How to brush your hair Cuz your head is a tangled Mess progressively Entwining getting farther From your skin and digging deeper What're you on about The way you hide your feelings is exhausting so now I don't know the right way through this crossing All your schemas convolute themselves With themselves the present it's exhausting So I've got to go and just make an effort, make an effort Hasta la vista I'll still love you still On my bullshit I'm still on my Pretty little Lost in the vista I'll still love you still All the bullshit All the cow pie Fertilizes Hasta la vista I'll still love you still On my bullshit I'm still on my Pretty little lie

Boyz In Luv w Her 02:41
lyrics

Her narrative distorts your face Seeping through your eyeballs As you spit and drool and sidewall all your friends You're perverted by the taste Of the truth you want so badly It's a plain and simple deadly us and them It's imperative you find a place In between your ear drums Far from all the droning doldrums of your achey achey pains Once you stabilize and stay in place You'll get much needed silence From the emotional violence That you beg for every day But you don't see it do you? You don't know there's a score Of boys who've said that before Right before they go and blow themselves on up The boys in love with her all self destruct I see you in your bedroom now You're tearing yourself inside out There's no similar dedication from her With each and every bridge you burn All for the sake of time you'll earn Another hour placating her, cuz she's hurt And it's someone's fault And you say you've got to protect her But who'll protect you when it ends? I know how it ends but You don't see it do you? You don't know there's a score Of boys who've said that before Right before they go and blow themselves on up And you may call me a liar but you're down To the wire and you're tired I know you're tired But you don't know what of And you'd rather neglect it Cuz you know she expects she expects She expects you to be tough The boys in love with her all self destruct The boys in love with her all self destruct The boys in love with her all self destruct The boys in love with her all self destruct

Rom-Coms! 04:05
lyrics

At the beginning of this story I was alone but I was feeling doubtful With just a couple of blankets wear them Warm them wear them warm them Then throw them out I wanted to find a source of warmth A bit more permanent But I never did, not ever, not once And I'm still without still without still without I'm still without still without still without Now that you know what was going on I'll shift my focus to rom coms Every time I've seen one The space between the start and end Is observed by an altered mind Like the first time I stayed up past one Or I was distracted by all my friends Or I was drunk earlier that night Alright Out of sight Anyone can watch a romantic comedy All you need is one couch, one eye, and one TV And be able to use that eye to digest what's Displayed on the screen She said guess so I guessed what We got high and watched one But it's was kinda blurred I guess I was check out Never registered My intention was gone I was nodding off Please don't let me sleep Sleep sleep sleep sleep to long cuz I'm not nervous around you But to tell the truth I am with me Wasting the afternoons Oh, like we'll have infinity I live at your mom's so But I brought just enough clothes with me But I don't know If you're ever going to meet my family Every time I've seen you The space between your toes and head Just flashes before by eyes But I've never got a good look at you Like a person I don't know this well Or the one on the pedestrian sign Take it a little slower If I if I slipped out slipped out slipped out I'd end up end up with No memories of your mouth Goodbye goodbye cold feet cold feet I threw out my electric blanket Stick it out or you'll never know What they were talking about in that show Pay attention to the real world You'll find there's no such thing as a real girl I'm not nervous around you But to tell the truth I am with me Wasting the afternoons Oh, like we'll have infinity I appreciate the effort you're making You know nothings ever quite so easy I'm getting better at my observations Do you wanna watch something on TV?

Sit Close 03:55

Found a heart in a waste bin Headed to the landfill Broken parts of a painting Pasted to the van Covered all of the windows I saw your face peak Out the exhaust pipe you gestured You waved your hands I forgot all the groceries I was on the way too Overcome by a sense of understanding All alone in a disturbing situation You sat a lunch table Opened your lunch I cried Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close I was almost awake when a conversation Brought me all of the way back from dreamland There were talkings of takings and a lack of patience Obvious in the voices of strangers and Then I got up and I stumbled on my sleepy way to A kitchen full of my family and friends No one sounded like anyone I could remember Then you showed up With your bag full of lunch And I got on my knees and cried Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close How can I ever comprehend all of the spacing In between the two of us when Both our minds are always racing yes and It's like two magnets standing almost right beside another gravity will bend for them So why can't we bend for each other? I'll lose it lose it lose it, I don't want it all I couldn't stand to sit in silence Staring deep into the wall It's not like science fiction endings Where curiosity defies It's supposed imposed boundaries It's sitting side by side please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close Don't sit so far please sit close

Red Wine 05:15

I'll tell you a story About a grenade who Had nothing to worry Bout nothing to claim to And when it was pouring It sat in the rain to Deliver its song to whoever's in range And one day the raining Was swiveling strange oh The gutters were draining But the wind had changed oh And when the tornado Lifted our grenade up It crumpled like the cans piled up by the door Half my age Was spent just trying To scratch that itch In the back of my mind If I kill the switch Let fate decide What red liquid Makes up the tide Just close your eyes Let fate decide Red wine, you seep down my spine While I spin round a line that curls Q Tonight we'll spill along the light Of a sleepy little avenue This mime's confusing but it's fine I'm losing my mind thout you If I could see you sometime Then it would change a little thing or two 'Thout you 'Thout you 'Thout you Without you When the weather is stormy I pour up a glass of Whatever's in storage And I drink only half of It brings me a corner Of a weathered old map of Back when you helped me polish em off And one day a straining From deep in the grain of The dusty old veins of The wood it was made of The house let a pained grin Spread over its paint job And shattered like the bottles broken on the floor Half my age Was spent just trying To scratch that itch In the back of my mind If we kill the switch Let fate decide What red liquid Makes up the tide Let fate decide Just close your eyes Red wine, you seep down my spine While I spin 'round a line that curls Q Tonight we'll spill along the light Of a sleepy little avenue This mime's confusing but it's fine I'm losing my mind 'thout you If I could see you sometime It'd change a little thing or two 'Thout you 'Thout you 'Thout you

Pavement Ocean 04:27

Under the lake Where the reaching tendrils rake Yeah the seagrass tends to take Your toe in its arms Behind the shore There are bones you've held before Now they're empty of their store Of your great grandma's blood No one understands like you and I A fate fit to swallow whole Even underwater I see the sky Even clearer than before, oh Pavement ocean No stranger emotion I'm praying I'm hoping You'll save me a pony cuz I wanna ride Behind the clouds The sun is burning loud And it's fun to be around for a little while But we all get our fill From a sterile windowsill It is risky in the real world and you know that No one knows it quite like you and I Why we have to go alone Every sunburn reminds me I should've just stayed home, oh Pavement ocean No stranger emotion I'm praying I'm hoping You'll save me a pony oh Pavement ocean Two strangers in motion I beg your devotion Won't tangle that pony cuz I wanna ride

Soot coats the rose Crawling with aphids But ladybug knows Just how sweet the taste is and I am a stadium Watching a game It's a good one But nobody cheers Where's the noise Could I hear it if I tried? When you look me Straight in the eyes I can soak it up Soak it up Soak it up Soak it Discreetly discarded disguise I can suck it up Suck it up Suck it up Suck it up Put on a dress and read to me And you like the girl Rattling with piercings Metallic flavor I thought you favored sweetness and I am a summer lake Covered in bugs I'm covered with bugs Won't you try a taste Nobody does Nobody Nobody No one so Close your eyes Pray for rain When the clouds part There's nothing to blame but your Swollen eyes and Sticky face Now we can start again Burn all your clothes Burn your silky sweaters Burn all your books Bound in glazed goat leather Burn all your clothes Burn your red lace dresses Burn all your books Read their glowing texts Burn all your clothes Watch them make their changes Burn all your books Read their crackling pages Put on a dress Put on your favorite Read me a book Read me your favorite Close your eyes Pray for rain When the clouds part There's nothing to blame but your Swollen eyes and Sticky face Now we can Now we can Now we can Now we when When you look me Straight in the eyes I can soak it up Discreetly discarded disguise I can suck it up Suck it up Suck it up Suck it up

I have no friends I wish there was a way A way for me to get them I try to make friends But friends all walk away I say it lots of ways I got a new friend Who wears a funny hat And swings a pendulum I don't remember why I like them so much I asked them what is what and they told me You will be my friend You'll be my friend Friend hypnosis You will be my friend I hypnotize my friends Into being my friends I asked my new friend What's with your funny hat? What's with the pendulum? I wanna be like you Please show me what do You freaking magician And they taught me And I'll do it Look at this Look through it You are my friend now My friend you are my friend Friend hypnosis 'Til I snap you'll be my friend And when I snap your brain will snap Okay I'm gonna snap and then you're gonna lose your fucking shit

Heaven Knows 05:07

I've been spending my life I've been spending my whole life Doing things that I didn't like I don't know why Started out when I lied About my favorite pastimes Nothing felt right Nothing felt right And so I push all the buttons In every elevator I go on So I'll never pass your floor I push every number on every phone In the hope I might dial yours I try the handle on every home Who knows which one will be mine There's a feeling I'm tryna find So lay down for the night And never say goodbye Heaven knows I could use a different kind A way of wasting time Heaven knows Sleep is the dessert of life So lets count down the seconds Until we say goodnight Goodnight I do my best to fire Every neuron in my head At the exact same time It's an attempt to rewire The fuses I've blown Throughout the years in my mind But in the tangled up cords I tighten the forces by struggling with change There are holes in my pockets Surely I could spend my efforts In more productive ways Instead I push all the buttons In every elevator I go on So I'll never pass your floor I push every number on every Phone in the hope I might dial yours I try the handle on every home Who knows which one will be mine There's a feeling I'm trying to find And it may take time Yeah it might take time But in time In time In time We'll lay down for the night And never say goodbye Heaven knows We could use a different kind A way of wasting time Heaven knows Sleep is the dessert of life So count down the seconds til we say goodnight Goodnight

Bird Senses Danger image

Bird Senses Danger Bellingham, Washington

Bird Senses Danger was born in Bellingham in 2017. Together they burned brightly until they famously exploded into a rainbow fireball of pop rock and were never seen again. In the ashes, a parting gift was found: "oh, to be a bug for one moment”. All they could’ve hoped is you enjoy what is left of this eclectic and electric indie rock band.
