Same Dream 05:03
Beaches of sight pulse light To blood in my eyes But no need to metaphorize We live learning far from the lectern And life's the same dream A theater changing scenes A newness that breaks In salty tide waves Deadlines next year I fear And details planned right O I feel so chastised The thin buzz of "Him" Laughing ground and sky Life's the same dream A theater changing scenes A newness that breaks In salty tide waves

Anodyne, halcyon Set in, like the face of a Scantron Saccharine in the warmth of the sun Waiting for someone Crenulate memories, Tucked like the lostness of panties Feeling at their edges for clues While waiting for you So tell me that you want me I’m just a piece of your heart babe And I will be back down on the ground Where you are So tell me that you want me Aerial, overwrought Up on the mesa of bad thought And there I’m just a hastening thing But you pull me down easy Crinoline Chatterley Squaring the mind and the body But always I’m on fire for you Just like the Bruce tune So tell me that you want me I’m just a piece of your heart babe And I will be back down on the ground Where you are So tell me that you want me I got you working to your favorite song Steady bumping all night long Similac at your tongue What you do want Say that you want me And stop - we’re ripping your sarong Steady bumping all night long Like similac I’m at your tongue What you do want Say that you want me Tell me that you want me I’m just a piece of your heart And I will be back down on the ground Where you are So tell me that you want me

Winter’s a fur Wrapping a mane around her Until she’s tucked And when summer returns She's frozen and wane In the cold breath of a Starbucks Where the world calls her name "Hey babe!" And she's still the answer You're never going to hear But it's a bad dream to be her baby That always recurs Watch her Cast her gait Her mind's a line To body bait You’re weak for casted gait Love is a pill, Bitter in the meantime, Sweet when there's new men Living to give a new thrill She’s fresh like a new line A torso can feel so cold When there's others callin' her name "Hey babe!" To her a mirror's a frame of passive glass Music is marching, restless brass And it’s a weird dream to be her baby Feeling the way I do Watch her Cast her gait Her mind's a line To body bait You're weak for casted gait I stand like a man on jelly canes But if not for her jelly brain I'd weep for casted gait

Easy Kill 04:45
I only hear “I don't mind” “Nevermind” I only hear “I don't care” About any care Whistling with the shade ascending "Can't", "won't", "never", "no". I hear the words That keep us thinking low I want us be someone I want us be someone who Builds a pitched home in the country Of a land we never knew I only hear “I don't mind” “Nevermind” I only hear “I don't care” About any care Whistling with the shade ascending I can tell by the way they start To cinch their eyes, to pick our words apart I want us to be someone I want to us to be someone who Slaps the pink face of a man when He tells you that your shit ain’t true Start with me Our path is straight Let's die by rules that we create And I say it's god This one feeling I get When all world's still And life's an easy kill We're in pure space Idle on the rungs Earth is a place Set against the suns But how does one face The lofty fears of Feeling like we've just begun? Stop, cause I’m feeling like we could Drop off for good All we had was scrap wood Basing where we’ve stood (Basing the shakiness where we’ve stood) And darling, you say You’ve never been alone It’s just something to be To become someone Idling, we stay Only where we know In the clutch of a fear To become someone I only hear “I don't mind” The air begins to taste like bark I only hear “I don't care” The final city lights turn dark

Lavender 03:39
The freshness of water The scent of lavender Her simple pleasures Her oxygen, her lumenal She says she wants to be sublime I tell her drink You're thirsty all the time And every day a piece of her goes But she stays beautiful We watch the news Drumming through the room The experts muse Becoming realer, true Between my calls to tell her life Over and over And when she speaks Every word is made round 'Cause I give them weight Till there's thunder all around The world is fouler everyday But she stays beautiful You go like it's any day Like nothing at all Dutiful We stay right Where we held her gaze that night It's pain It's mad It's beautiful And here we are A language we don't know Words of death Spoken dumb and slow But we find that we can say anything And it's all due to her And here we are, The warmth of other suns On our backs, we're making our fun They say we ought to be afraid But how can we When she stayed beautiful?

Bouquet 01:35
I’m seeing a torn world Patches where I lose myself to her She’s a bouquet Flowering over And I’m an airline Taking off Feeling like a ghost limb The places that she touched I lost to her And she’s doing fine Just like I told her And I’m a bouquet Drying up Cause here it’s like an old must Grey against flush color of her And she’s just the same Beauty is her And I’m like the shirt She’s taking off Meet me in the ocean Losing ourselves we don't know what could happen But she’s figured out Cool and comely And I’m at the flame Drying up And she’s with the sun She’s dipping over The horizon line

Beauty, cause she is granular There's no end I see to her I've learned to see things as I see her Blooming, rhizomatic world Then, it used to be like A smooth indica high Losing myself with the girls I'd try Now, with the woman I know I urge for ways to show I really am myself with her alone No reverence for sleep Everyday, a shorter day To bite the flesh of life Harder for me and her Beauty in her vernacular Every sound she makes is hers I've learned to hear things as I hear her Rising symphonies in turn Then, when life was a sin A room to be called in Staring at the chipping on the tin Now, we're out from the cut With all this space for us We cannot see the home we used to truss No reverence for sleep Wake them, away with them We bite the flesh of life Harder, me and her

about

For their sophomore release Face of Man continues its project of pop maximalism with a plaintive, midwestern candor - high life guitar layered over the subs and crackles of modern pop production, R&B vocal flights nestled into modular art rock structures, words sung with emotional directness. Thematically, the LP explores female relationships and their variegated forms: the familial, the lustful, and the romantic. Bouquet, despite it's melancholy, lifts the listener with lush, contrasting colors and an impression of gradual unfolding.
