Cabin Fever

Take a slice out of life I’m living
There’s no way back and no way home.
I’m like a wild animal
And it’s freezing where I roam.
These days and nights pass by,
And I don’t know where they go.
Nobody in sight,
But I feel like I belong.
I’m not one to fight it,
But I’m not one to roll over.
Days, they pass me by
And I feel like I belong.
My lungs are heavy, my chest is weak.
So I take a walk, I can’t feel my feet.
Without a ride I come back inside
My lifeline is out of reach.
Seven standing in a heated room.
He let it go, they all make way.
Memories like photos pinned
In a photo optic place.
Not a building or street,
No pavement under my feet.
Feeling more than believing
On an A-C E-X-T.

Three Steps
03:47
|
|||
|
It’s where I go
For just one day
I can’t resist.
I can’t admit the way I feel right now
So I lick my lips.
I lick my lips and wonder,
“Will it ever taste like this?”
One step
Two steps
Three steps later.
Then maybe, baby, you would
Pay attention
To what I say right now.
‘Cause it could be you.
Yeah, it could be you
Who wants more than the world
To make it right.
So make it right.
One step
Two steps
Three steps later
I can’t wonder maybe, baby,
When will you do right by me?
All by myself,
All by myself I’ll be.
I can’t take a chance on you.
Bit by bit, it falls apart at the seams.
One by one, we fall apart at the seams.

Everyone Dances
03:21
|
|||
|
Did someone take you for a ride?
Did someone forget you?
Just like the sugar on your lips,
So sticks this misfortune.
All the street is sticky sweet,
Paralyzed beneath your feet.
Three o’ clock, four o’ clock, five o’ clock AM.
Everyone dances for someone, baby.
Just make it stop, don’t want to talk again.
Everybody answers to someone, baby.
Does crying take the pressure off?
Does it help to defend you?
(I’m not trying to offend you)
Will someone tell me why the fuck
Am I trying to impress you?
Compromised, the cancer sneaks,
Paralyzed between the sheets.

On Strike
03:28
|
|||
|
I dare it not to cross your lips.
You scheme and plot with your painted fingertips.
I’m running through these tired streets.
This could be our last kiss
Goodbye.
Amber with painted glass receptacle
You’re trying not to make a spectacle.
I wish you wouldn’t make such a mess of this.
What you say, be careful.

Zombie Flies
04:26
|
|||
|
I know I can’t be
Hopeless and carefree.
Why don’t you save me again?
Worthless and fancy,
Out in the country.
Come on and slay me again.
Vaulted ceilings and haunted flies,
Tired bodies and bloodshot eyes.
Call me dirty, I’ll be warm tonight
Yeah, I breathe
I break free.
Exhaust infects me,
Black smoke and white trees.
I’m gonna brave it again.
I’m having dark dreams,
Perfect the loop seems.
Come on and save me again.
A sky for ceiling and zombie flies,
Tired bodies and broken minds.
I’ll be dirty, I’ll be warm tonight
Yeah, I breathe
I break free.
A sky for ceiling and haunted flies,
Broken bodies and broken minds.
Call me dirty, I’ll be warm tonight.
But I’ll breathe
I’ll break free.

Don't Look Back
03:03
|
|||
|
“Slow down the time.”
That’s what I said.
When we have only days just to meet face to face
One more time.
Don’t look back,
Though I want to.
Don’t look back,
‘Cause I want you.
Don’t tell me to stay still.
Don’t tell me to stay, ‘cause I will.
You asked what was wrong.
What could I say?
I’ve been changing my mind from time to time,
Day to day.
What could I change?
And how should I feel?
Days go by, just the same
Forgetting what’s real.
What’s to say, who’s to blame
That the places I’m crashing
And hearts I’ve been smashing
Aren’t worth it all?
And the ones we love
Are the first left behind.
Finally I see what I’ve been missing.
Oh, isn’t it strange
How the ones we love are the first left behind.

One Last Time
03:36
|
|||
|
When I wake up next to you,
Your skin,
It’s not quite the same.
And your kiss,
It’s not at all the same.
And when I break up next to you,
The smell, the taste
It’s so good but different.
And it’s not at all the way it used to be.
I would, I could, I should love you
One last time tonight,
In this December
Will you remember?
No room for lies this time.
I go to your place
And there’s no more slow pictures of me.
And we could pretend for just tonight
That things were back the way they used to be.

Dirty Little Secrets
02:52
|
|||
|
Tonight I watched for hours.
We played it out in our heads.
But I won’t sleep without you.
Alone and cold in my bed.
God damn you dirty little secrets.
I waited up for you.
The morning is blue out my window.
The tired sleep instead.
But will I creep in your skin though?
Just another face in my head.

Snowed In
03:58
|
|||
|
Sunrise, your brown eyes
I can’t make the world pause for one day.
Just like this, I kiss your lips
And just like this, I push you away.
You push away.
You’re snowed in like the first time
And I just can’t pull you out
I cannot dig you out.
You swore you were done,
Now you’re under his thumb.
You cannot get away
For just one day.
Knock knock, it’s five o’ clock
And our hungers have been fed.
When the drugs are in our heads
You’re trying.
We’re only half a day away from changing everything.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.
