i just wanted to be the face of neutrality
i never wanted to leave.
sinking in, striking out
shifty tongue, broken ideas
the machine inside me
spits out numbers violently,
vomits expletives unnecessarily.
it won't let me be.
i want to see the birds and the bees
won't always be permanent.
to everybody that i love today:
i want to feel ashamed.
i can see the birds and the bees
will always be permanent
and if the world teams up on me, i guess..
i only want you around when you're not around.
but now you're gone,
brushing your teeth with a cigarette.
i only want you around when you're not around.
but now you're gone,
choking on a cigarette.
i can see the birds and the bees.
i want to feel affirmative.
i believe in what you believe--
i'm pouring under,
spilling under,
i'm down on my knees.
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!

one of the best and most excellent midwest emo record there is! amazingly well mixed for midwest emo. waterbed from this record compared to their mv version proves how important a good mix is, because suddenly this song sounds a lot more raw yet well produced in here. singaporecentralemo
