lyrics

i want sleep and i want to earn it
i want to rest and i’d like to deserve it

i only hang onto boxes that can’t be opened
you make the paintings that you want to see

my tinfoil hat has a buckle and a strap
and i don’t think it meant what you think

--
reverse reverse reverse psychology
even if i feel seen, it doesn’t mean they’re looking at me

observe the failure of astronomy
we know where all this leads, the brutal gap above me

it hurts to claim your agency
the shelves are full, there’s nothing to eat

we press against the ceiling of taxonomy
and I don’t believe it meant what you think
i don’t believe that it meant what you think
it tears away so easily

oh where to find you
melancholy sculptor,
heartbroken scholar,
golden-hearted mortar

off in some new sphere, above construct
above potential’s demand, the end of missing out
and no longer holding onto boxes i could not open

i’m more alive for the distance
the living unintelligible dream
my tinfoil hat has a buckle and a strap
and i don’t believe it meant what you think

Here
by Echo Vessel

Much like the act of gazing at clouds, this album leaves room for your subconscious to fill in the blanks. It's as breezy or as hypnotic as you allow it to be. Continental Shelf

A Bunch of Smaller Parts
by Bot Garden

Nick and Rob contribute bass and drums respectively to Bot Garden, although this great EP was created before Rob's time in the band. Still not tired of it even after learning all the (smaller) parts. Continental Shelf

Silver Ladders
by Mary Lattimore

Listening to this record feels like falling through the fullness of space toward unspeakable, existential truth. That's that. Continental Shelf
