Model 04:27
Get over yourself You are not comparable To the diy models on the internet They have the lip balm Big hips and they’re tall Coming out of a teenage nightmare Oh my gosh Stop crying about nothing Oh my gosh Stop crying about nothing Saw you in a dress Looking like a mom from the 90s or something like that Your skinny legs are Not skinny enough For new age vintage Okay Okay
3.
What's your name Why are you standing over my bed holding flowers in your hands What's this place Why are there people looking at me and staring at my face How much time was I in it I don’t believe them at all Where are they All of the people I knew before I was eaten by the dark Why did you stay By the side of my bed wasting your life away day after day
4.
Don't go to college You're not gonna like it You will come home On the weekends I lost all my friends down a dead end Wasting all the money on a payment Don’t make them angry Just go to college It’ll be easy You can do anything with your life With your life
5.
Nancy 02:43
She’s a red lip stick wearing chick Jessie gave her some complements But they don’t sound that genuine Nothing ever does from a girl like that Crushing on Nancy secretly Is she ever gonna notice me Then she went missing yesterday Guess she is a teenage runaway That was almost 20 years ago Now I see a pretty ghost When I drive past her parent’s house Cars are there but the lights are out Ghosts are real I just saw one And It made me feel Like an idiot This is all my fault I think I found Nancy on the internet Even with the same red lipstick Overdoes and died at 25 Nothing feels real and I don’t feel alive I don't feel alive I don't feel alive
6.
Of All The 03:16
Of all the places you stay I want you to stay With your head on my chest Looking right up at me okay Of all the places you’ve been I want you to say With me is the only Place you wanna be okay Of all the people you’ve met I want you to believe that I am the perfect one for you is that okay If you decide you want change in your life keep me right where I am in the center and don’t leave me okay Paramount to me is you it (It’s changeless) I’m getting old wasting all of this time on the thinking about all the things I once had but im okay You go to california cause you’re bright like their sun And I know that you wont think of me and its okay
7.
I sneak out behind the couch You see me and grab my sleeve You say where you goin I was saying I was going to leave Good idea coming too You say with your lips squeezed Shut hard I know everyone Bothers you you’re just like me At your door I meet your mom She has the same earrings on Didn’t wanna stay long But I don’t know what I want Clearly we are soul mates Now I’m gonna be afraid That I’ll crash my car and die When I just started my life I'm afraid that I'm nothing without Your abstract art and how cold your hands are I'm afraid that I'm nothing without The points of your teeth and the curves of your mouth
8.
I knew that you’d leave me someday I thought that it would be years away When you came back from the beach With all your fake friends telling you that I was wrong You’re right it’s easy to say goodbye You just won’t be back here for all time
9.
To Care 00:44
The point is to care It's pointless to care

about

This album was written with the color purple in mind. Big shout out to green as well.

The texture of the album is sticky and maybe a little bit like digging through sand or dirt.

Kinda looser than what Detective Series was... a higher density of sounds and textural things,

If you have strong feelings while (or after) a listen-through, id be glad to hear to what you think. Reach out through email or social media, either one!
