herbertquick feels like the place between asleep and waking up. love the textures, the harmonies, beautiful album.

grape7250 if i had not checked bandcamp's home page the night this was released i would never have heard my '23 aoty. what an emotional crutch these songs have been this past year. Favorite track: motorcade.

swisher cant believe it took me so long to hear but wow. the whole album is so pretty and dark and vulnerable but i CANT get over bandaid heart, its an instant classic for me and i would cry for an hour if i heard that live. other favorites would be play dead and shampoo, but im captivated by every track. not to mention there is a special place in my heart for your album covers Favorite track: bandaid heart.

1.	bandaid heart 04:21	lyrics	buy track
like a wet dream like a symphony oh i got a bellyache butterflies with broken wings cue the metronomes tap the telephones i can't tell the difference from your voice and the dial tone wish we had met before they spun you around the weathervane all their horses couldn't put me back together again no i was never the same like a first kiss like a dying wish oh i got some ailments i'm prescribing everything like a flat wheel like an orange peel oh i got a bandaid heart that'll never heal was i naive to think it'd dry once i spilled everything back in the city i get shivers when i hear your name it feels like yesterday i couldn't fathom what was coming right around the bend bent me outta shape when i was finally on the mend and if you miss me do you laugh about it with your friends all the king's men did they put you back together again some days i'd rather be dead
2.	play dead 02:25	lyrics	buy track
and when your heart’s dried up that's when the real vampires come it's gonna leave a real gash once they suck your blood and if you wanna play dead maybe i'll rat you out then we can play a different kind of game one more skill than luck and when you finally go down nobody's gonna be around i missed you sober i hope you stay awhile and when you go downtown i wanna be the blood on your hands the driver of the getaway van your back door and when you lay so limp lost in florescent light do you think of the fantasy land that you dreamt last night and is it anywhere but this you think you'd rather be a feeling dead as disco on a laptop screen and maybe in some twist of fate i'll be the promise you keep and if you cure my head forfeit the memory and when you go downtown i'm gonna be the blood on your hands the driver of the stolen caravan your white horse
3.	hot knives 02:48	lyrics	buy track
sad songs for dirty blondes shit luck for a vagabond but you got nine lives you’ll never die stardust on a midnight mile hot knives if i could only read your mind i would never say outright i would be polite variations on a theme thank god i don't remember my dreams or the red flags or deadbeat dads or twelve stairs of the midnight mass hot knives didn’t mean to make you cry i won’t misbehave this time i will be polite hot knives i won't runaway i tried barely made it out alive but i will be alright hot knives i think i'm going out in style down on main street everyone's an exile so why don't you come by and i can take you up on hot knives i can take you up on hot knives
4.	motorcade 04:51	lyrics	buy track
flipping on a frame of mind laughing out as hard as i can muster living on a waitress dime working overtime tore off all the friends you made reveled in the lies you told them back home driving through the diamond rain in your motorcade did i waste your time like i wasted mine when you're wrong you're right wonder what your mother said when you told her he was back in your bed asking if it's love this time or a sugar high saw you walk the other way laughing out the window what could i say shaking cause i couldn't wane yeah it hurts today did i waste your time like i'm wasting mine i was wrong you're right maybe most the time he was on your mind am i wrong i'm right
5.	secret 05:47	lyrics	buy track
to see it fall down to see it crawl on both knees oh so pitiful but every dog will have it’s day once everything slows once everything goes away and you’ll still be beautiful i let you in on my secret i let you in it used be beautiful for fifty-nine autumn nights i got sick past tense on everything but i’ll be happy i got spent once the money slows down once the money's gone at least you'll be beautiful just to be in your orbit i let you in at least you'll be beautiful crucified to the countryside dull days spent waiting around to die so i still think of what you said now that everyone’s gone you told me ‘everyone goes away’ you're so beautiful almost as empty as i am i let you in you're so beautiful got my heart breaking wide open i let you in it used to be beautiful i let you in it used to be beautiful i let you in
6.	pedestal 03:09	lyrics	buy track
while the corset lies on the bed and i'm all hung up on a vestige like a secret never kept say it once say it twice say it never again won't you come back down from the pedestal i could drink your wine in the back of my mind and i know you're never lonely when your back's to the wall but the wall's been coming down saw the life that could've been had it all come back for a second like the joker in the deck fool me once fool me twice fool me never again won't you come back down from the pedestal i can waste my time while you douse your mind and i know you think you loved me but you didn't at all cause you're already coming down funny i believed in a miracle now i get the joke it's hysterical constellations lining the backs of my eyelids know the archetype for all the ones i keep sending home all alone so can't you come back down from the pedestal i could waste my days on the side of the stage where i'll be wishing that i listened when they told me to stop cause i knew then i know it now yeah i knew then i know it now
7.	getaway 03:47	lyrics	buy track
this one's my getaway the echo in your chest three words i'll never hear a long lost innocence your friends wanna see you suffering your face down in the shit won't deny that i'm waiting for nothing an educated guess this one's my getaway this one’s my getaway this one’s my getaway this one won't get away
8.	shampoo 03:18	lyrics	buy track
and we'll all get to sleep somehow i'll be singing lullabies by the time you get up alexandra was a southern belle dead soldiers lined up another night on the town and i keep running to the corner store tangled around turnstiles won't be back till i'm gone running circles through revolving doors four walls paper thin yeah they glow in the dark uh huh all the times that it might've helped sucked it in for awhile but you spat it back out got a secret swear you'll never tell pulling tricks for the boys just to ride the days out and you never did use shampoo left a permanent mark the summer i met you because i want you like a kangaroo like the meaning of a dream that'll never come true uh huh
9.	tripwire 03:48	lyrics	buy track
skirt the line of a fantasy dull knife shining underneath the veil you recognize on everything like a dream inside a dream a wound behind a wound your ghost story approved for the midnight society stop the ride i think i wanna get off straw dogs never fall in puppy love solace in your anhedonia just a fix could never fix it all mask is slowly slipping i just wanna listen i won't speak at all i know you're a minefield i'm stepping on tripwire plant a seed and watch it grow pouring malt liquor on the soil no freedom just illusions of grandeur heard you slept on the other side something malevolent on his mind sleeping with one eye open every night stop the ride i think i wanna get off fourth wall breaks don't ever get this far solace in your catatonia just a kiss could never wake you up starving for affection i just wanna see the writing on the wall i know you're a minefield i'm stepping on tripwire
10.	die in love 05:40	lyrics	buy track
solitaire summer days bought me some time elephant in the room again but i don't mind because if i drown in my own blood then i'll die in love and that's all i want i saw through everything your hourglass life but i'll turn it over babe if you just stay the night we could drown in our own blood we could die in love kiss off the deadbolts let me drown in my own blood let me die in love i'd wait so long
