Clothes 03:29
lyrics

I've got nobody waiting for me in bed My heart's in the freezer, and my mind's in the red I've got no juice, no bacon, no bread I've got no reason I'm much better off than dead But I've got clothes I've got clothes Clothes and accessories showing off the best of me Clothes Behold my splendor I've got no money for food, bills, or rent I've been disenfranchised by the government I've got no future, my past lives are spent I've got no clue where my résistance went But I've got clothes I've got clothes Clothes, shoes, and jewelry showing off what's good about me Clothes Behold my splendor Picture me in a flowing black gown, dripping with pearls as I head downtown Picture me in a smart patterned blouse, a pencil skirt, and a faux fur cloche Picture me in a fine slik robe Picture me in a lavender taffeta romper I've got style to the moon and back You see, it all but makes up for what I lack I've got clothes Clothes, shoes, and jewelry are all that's good to me Clothes Now, I need some home cooking I need a massage I feel like all society's just an intricate mirage But tonight, I'd settle for a fresh corsage to complement this formal ensemble Clothes I've got clothes Clothes, shoes, and jewelry are all that's good to me Clothes I've got clothes Clothes, shoes, and jewelry are all that's left of me Clothes

I'm Already Dead 02:30
lyrics

When the police come pressing on buzzers and pounding on doors, they can't summon me I don't live here anymore I'm already dead There's nobody home I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead When the Nazis and the gender gestapo log in to make their rounds, let them come close and check There's nothing left of me to put in the ground I'm already dead Leave me alone I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead Why do these fools even bother? You can't squeeze blood from a ghost I'm already dead I'm already dead Go piss on a rose Still the boss wants my flesh and the landlord wants my bone Try robbing my grave You'll only find dust and stones I'm already dead Leave me alone I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead I'm already dead

Give Me Silence 03:00
lyrics

I don’t wanna work in a fast-paced environment I don’t wanna reach for my untapped potential Don’t wanna be the queer face of your labor farm I don’t wanna walk the ground floor of your empire Just give me silence Give me silence I don’t wanna make a big splash at the marketplace I don’t wanna laugh and shake hands with the leisure class Don’t wanna dress for success at a losing game I don’t wanna ride the new wave of exploitation Just give me silence Give me silence Give me silence, if you won’t give me a thing at all I don’t wanna post my hot looks to the live feed I don’t wanna check out a new music video Don’t want more stories about my favorite properties I don’t wanna rent the right to swallow more media Give me silence Give me silence Can't you give me silence if you won't give me anything at all Give me peace, give me chill Give me a break until the end of the world Give me silence, give me night Give me gentle darkness for the rest of my life I don’t wanna spit from the top of a penthouse I don’t wanna suck from the teat of our destroyer I don’t wanna sit for a family Thanksgiving I don’t wanna feast on the spoils of America Just give me silence Give me silence Give me silence if you won't even give me anything at all Give me silence Give me silence Give me silence

Like Bonnie and Clyde 02:07
lyrics

I wanna go out like Bonnie and Clyde A rifle, the loot, and my love by my side I've got to run, I don't know how to hide I wanna go out like Bonnie and Clyde I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die I wanna live like Harold and Maude Plant trees, pick flowers, and fuck with the law The car jumps the cliff, and I always applaud I wanna go out like Harold and Maude I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die I wanna go out like Bonnie and Clyde with my love, the bank's cash, and a gun by my side When they said you were free, don't you know they lied You've got to break free like Bonnie and Clyde I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die One more big-screen love One more big-screen love I need one more big-screen love, and then I'm ready to die

Sweet Absence 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Oh absence, You hold me so right, like nobody around in this apartment each night Sweet absence, I reread what you've writ, and your voice and your perception never change one bit, and when you're love went out of print, I went and stole my local library's copy of it, because if one of us was ever gonna stay on the shelf, you know it always was me you know it always was me Oh absence, I love to make your home, and at the end of the day, ooh, how you get me alone I'm always astounded by the forms you have taken Well, you carve me out so hollow, and I'm always left shaken And when love cut out on my life, you stepped in like a shadow with an old letter knife, because if one of us was ever gonna open what our lips once sealed, you know it always was me you know it always was me When I read your love out loud, I feel your absence in my voice like a rumbling thundercloud, and if one of us is gonna keep this rain coming around, you know it always was me you know it always was me Oh absence Oh absence Sweet, sweet absence Oh absence

about

The writing of these songs straddled a particularly gnarly mental health episode I had in 2022, after which I initially felt that I was ruined both as an artist and as a person.

My realization that some songs I had written before and since that episode could comprise this record, and that making it might be worth lifting myself from self-loathing, has meant a whole lot, and I am really grateful to whoever gives audience to this small collection of songs, which to me are all about lacking and going without.
