Do you see what I'm stuck with?
This crippling indifference
I feel nothing for your name
But I'll marry you all the same
I hope you will form a crowd
Five shots to you on the ground
So lock me in this cell
And scream of Heaven and Hell
But I am perfectly content
If there is nothing next
I hope you will form a crowd
Nothing will stop this now

It seems our time has now run short
But soon I'll see you again
I can't say how or where quite yet
I can only say when
Time's such a funny thing, you see
Once you manipulate it
It's just some cosmic complex fabric
Begging to be stretched thin
And I'll tear a hole
Straight to where you sleep
Make all of reality
Crumble at my feet
I'll shatter what you know
And I'll bend every truth
Cos I'm a selfish lonely man
And there's nothing I won't do
I'll try one last time to fix
Every mistake I've ever made
I'll look for a shred of redemption
In every letter of my name
It seems our time has now run out
I'm not prepared for the sting
Of our separation, just so you know
You were my favorite thing

I make mistakes almost every day
or the days don't feel the same
But gradually I will happily
let it all fade away
And here are to those times you helped me
keep myself composed
But you and me, we're a symphony
Two minds playing at once
So keep me whole or break me open
Just keep me alive
You heard I lost the point of the plot
In my own distorted view
So I'm connecting dots with all my thoughts
and seeking out the truth
Here is to the lesser half of all I've said and done
All the witless lines I've forced to rhyme
Prove I'm the misguided one
I'm excited to see where I'll go
now that I have hit this new low
I'm excited to see where I'll go
Hope I'll end on a dissonant(different) note

Before time there was nothing. Then, there were dinosaurs. Soon thereafter (in a cosmic sense) there was Josh Shulkin.
Obdurate Space recommends:
AN UNWAVERING BAND OF LIGHT
by Jenny Owen Youngs
Jenny Owen Youngs can do no wrong, i believe. Check her out if you're feeling like listening to some good singer songwriter stuff who also sometimes makes full out rock songs.

I would highly recommend Speedy Ortiz to everyone. Sadie is such a talented songwriter. I'm very jealous.

Facial Furniture EP
by Signals.
I discovered Signals. because they liked a post of mine about TTNG. I think. Anyways, they make great math rock-esque music with lots of weird, jazzy chords, which are my favorite.
