The Overgrowth

Keep burning the edges on both sides of the cup
I'm trying to stay calm but all I feel is fucked it seems
but what the hell does that mean
And I smile just a little just a little too much
it's true, I was a lot like you.
Nobody told her nobody told her
You gave her the ocean but she wanted a knife
burn the overgrowth and laugh like they told you
Nobody told her nobody told her
You gave her your world but all she wants is your life
burn the overgrowth and laugh like they told you.
Keep burning the edges on both sides of the cup
I'm trying to stay calm but all I feel is fucked it seems
but what the hell does that mean
When trying to stay sober was a little too rough
and I know that I am crazy but it's never enough
It's true, I was a lot like you.
Hold me
Don't worry baby
It's already done now child burn the overgrowth
I'm not your father
You know he's already gone now child burn the overgrowth.

She didn't want to go out that night with you
She didn't want to go out that night with anyone darlin'
But can you hear her heart beat harder
down by the dumpster?
Well, your Honor I know you can!
"God I don't know what I was thinking
must be the drinking, cause your
your Honor I'm a good man.
Your Honor please I am doing the BEST I can."

Butcher
03:10
|

|
Mom killed the butcher's wife
she never came around much after that
I never knew much when I was younger.
Dad always played it cool
He always ran around there wearing tights
I never knew much when I was younger.
Back from the hospital
I kept all of my clothes on in the bath
and prayed for any sort of hunger.
I used to drive to take the car out
over the Goddamn road
Mom killed the doctor's wife
she never came around much after that
I never cared much for the city.
Back from the hospital I kept all of my clothes on in the bath
and scrubbed so hard that I got dizzy.
I couldn't get it right.

Spiders
03:36
|

|
She is a spider
a cord around your neck
you are salt water
you're sleeping in wasp's nests
and when you start to shake
just try to hold on dear
there are no saints
no one will wait
no one will push you through.
Oh always remember that I will break
but I won't break for you.
Connecting mirrors
blank notes in secret rooms
She is hot wires
Your Jesus to consume.

Gun

Mother always said to bring a gun girl if it makes you feel better
go to your apartment quick and lock the door so tight
if you can breathe, you're doing it wrong.
Leave your skirt on
Unbutton your blouse dear
your mother told me.
Mother always said to leave the light on if it makes you feel better
mother always said to drink your wine first drink your wine first
if you can breathe you're doing it wrong.
Your mother told me wrong.

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world

Donald's an American Donald looks up at the stars
Donald combs his hair back, Donald likes pussy in cars.
Donald's an American.
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
God is an American.

You think I'm crazy?
I'll burn your house right down.
I know you're crazy
to ride the merry go round round with me
Nothing you say ever rings true
baby blue.
You think I'm crazy?
I'll wring your neck right round.
Nothing you say ever rings true
I smile to your face but I live to destroy you
I've read your red lips but your eyes are offtrack
You really are gone babe
then why do you keep coming back?

Bodies Of Water
02:45
|

|
I miss you
like doves do
when they're a long long way from home
I shake you
like ghosts do
they want to break
swallow you whole.
I miss you like doves do when they're a long long way from home
I shake you
like ghosts do
they want to take
swallow you
Oh oh oh I don't want to be here now
you're in the river and you're barely breathing
I'm right beside you and the water pulls us down
I'm right beside you and I
will not
cannot
will not save you.
The water's rushing around.
Down by the river
I'm laughing there beside you
you never did love me
and now we're in quicksand!
The waves have grown larger
they pull you don't so softly
You breathe in the water
You take it down easy.

Fault
03:05
|

|
Well you made a good tragedy
a fool to defend
but like any happy malady
I already cut you off far before you met your end
And I see you in strange men
who live in my sleep
and I see you in children
they burn me down to the ground
for the lies I couldn't keep.
I was always caught in the game
if you were my love-
yeah I'd still shoot you down just the same
same on any given day.
And I find you on the radio
they know what we did
your name blaring through the stereo
I knew you were more than done before they got you kid.
Yeah you made a good funeral
I took you down blind
but like any good funeral
the party was more than done
far before you lost your mind.
I was always caught in the game
if you were my love
yeah
I'd still shoot you down just the same
on any given day.
Loose lips loose their tongues
from playing these games
but it wasn't all my fault.

Dog

I don't mind
I don't mind
when I take a step forward
I take three back
In through the out door
Darlin' who'd you take me for?
I don't mind
I don't mind
when I take a deep breath
I don't feel free
Free from the inside
crawled out to the other side.
Baby I thought I did a real good job
I thought that if I did what you asked me to
I think I'd make a real good dog.
Feels like I can't come down
feels like I can't come around
I can't seem to play this sport
I stay under radar
sit tight in locked cars
get lost but don't go too far.

Subhuman Nation

Transport your body parts
to a subhuman nation
It's a dream vacation
my subhuman nation
And it's okay to die
when you live without living
plug me into your eyes
give me something worth giving
And take a ride
to my subhuman nation
to my
to my
to my subhuman nation
I didn't know what I knew before
when I could give up
I didn't know what I knew before
when I could shut up
Transport your body parts
become part of the problem
you are just a machine
you are part of the problem
And it's okay to die
when you live without living
plug me into your eyes
give me something worth giving!
And take a ride
to my subhuman nation.

All The King's Horses

I can't close my eyes but I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
time to heal take what's mine
but I really should've hurt you stranger
really should've hurt you.
Take a breath
take a break
take a little sip of water kid
I can't fix what is wrong with you
I know you are what's wrong with you
I know now.
All the king's horses
and all the king's men
they are playing on playgrounds
they got from their fathers
Guess I should've known better
All the king's horses
and all the king's men
they are pissing on playgrounds
they got from their fathers
Guess I should've known better.

Madalena's Mask
04:09
|

I went down south to find a bad idea
and a different place to start.
A broke down blood hound
found what I was selling
but he didn't like all that I was made of
and ooo
she said
"It's all in your head"
I came down fast to keep up with the changes
bought a brand new face to paint.
It twists and curls
and when no one is watching
I am Saint Madalena
Lost with the devil and
ooo
She said
"It's all in your head"
There's got to be a better way out
Thought I'd find the answer there dropped down on my knees
there is no easy way out
but baby's getting angry and wanting something please
just just a little bit more
you know you're going no where there running for the door
there is no easy way out.
She said
do you need to remember?
Three stones three queens
but she's not who she said she was
not who she says she was.
She said, it's all in your head.

Dreamer's sleeping in my bed
but his heart is wed
to the love's he's known before
locked outside the door
I should go home
I would rather be alone
I should go home
Dreamer's lovely when around
but in times I've found
words we swore when we would sleep
were not mine to keep
I should go home
I would rather be alone
And I know that I remind you of the love you left behind the road you chose
And I know that I remind you of the love you left behind you.
Dreamer's heart's a little mean
bursting at the seams
but in hellish afterglow
you sure put on a show
I should go home
I would rather be alone

Lung Cincinnati, Ohio
Powerhouse art-punk cello-rock duo Lung have a sound that is dark and commanding, evoking the driving sludge of early grunge with layered sinister undertones. The band is Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer and cellist, and drummer Daisy Caplan, formerly of Foxy Shazam, Babe Rage, and Ayin. ... more
Lung recommends:
Grind
by A Deer A Horse
Grind by A Deer A Horse is the kind of album you can sink your teeth into. Driving, dynamic, gritty noise rock that fits angular ideas into a framework that flows naturally and never feels forces.

POP UP EP August Edition
by Kate Wakefield
supported by 11 fans who also own “All the King's Horses”
Another entertaining, emotional and heart wrenching release. What a ride..... Love it! The Loving Kind made me start to tear up. For some people, medications do make life Easier. But if recording and playing music is your drug then we fans get to enjoy the high as well. In life, we are put in situations when we have to decide if the Mini Little Messes are worth sticking around or if it’s time to go.
