I’m having fun in flight Making up my life daily as I go I don’t remember much Forced it all from thought Better off alone If you insist on finishing my lines At least get them right Not holding out for luck Sick of feeling stuck We all have our woes Coming close to burning craters where I gaze I can’t stand another second in this place on my own You seem like someone I’d like to know And I don’t have any place to go I thought I ought to spend the night Now it’s time to abandon plans Then maybe someone will understand You think that I don’t have a type

Fumbled and spread around Your depth of bad intentions It can’t all fall on me To learn to transfer guilt And clearly make them see it While feigning honesty Don’t ever hesitate We have to make mistakes Our hopes were made to break But it shouldn’t come this easily This close and insular world Has lost its higher standards All fabricated too I’m hearing what I want But learning not to see it Why grant a gift to you? I’ll learn to show the world I had my own intentions I don’t extend from you
3.
An older dialect With fewer words, true orthodox If you don’t command respect You’ll get a different response You didn’t care at all When I needed room to breathe There’s no sense in hanging back I abandon subtlety But I’d never call it that I’m trying now to learn just how to say That I festered and fell back Again into the same mistakes

Got lost in echoes trying to steal a glance or understand what motivates Starting to feel that I will never get it right no matter what it takes Now tripping, sweating, giving off the sense of hiding almost everything Can’t help but get fed up with your uncanny memory for all you’ve seen Teach me how to leave I’m restless I’m idly dreaming of a chance to bide away my time where thought is pure Attempt to gain the tools to learn to translate knowledge from another world This awkward turn of phrase is slipping up just trying to get a point across But if I speak this way I’ll start to change and then my sense of self is lost I’m dull, restless, and bored today Routine starts getting in the way Forgot all that I had to say The rest is useless Blinded

about

Earth Girls Chicago, Illinois

"Earth Girls makes garage-pop that’s so densely packed it’s almost easy to lose the complexity of the arrangements, but that’s exactly what [makes it] work. It may be bubblegum pop, but its flavors don’t fade after first listen." -AV Club
