lyrics

Things haven't changed much since I first got here
Reddish brick makes me feel sick
Rows of lockers bared like teeth
Barracuda in a coral reef
Behind every brick there's another mouth
To chew me up and spit me out
A thousand grinding scales are played
Behind red doors, night and day
I walk the halls to a complex beat
Whole step half step shuffle my feet
Grab the prize and dully finish
Finally feeling fully diminished
When I go there will be no witness
You're all too busy minding your own business
On concrete steps the ice is melting
Sunlight brings in the spring
But I still trudge like the snow is piled
Four feet high I softly sigh
Behind each snowdrift there's another eye
Waiting watching for the day to die
Grab the prize and dully finish
Finally feeling fully diminished
When I go there will be no witness
You're all too busy minding your own business
Behind closed doors I am really quite the bore
So I guess it's better off you didn't know me well
Well, well, well what do we have here
A house full of shallowness and six thirty racks of beer
Grab the prize and dully finish
Finally feeling fully diminished
When I go there will be no witness
You're all too busy minding your own business

about

Mouthbreather Portland, Oregon

Math rock, post-hardcore, and experimental folk walk into a bar. The sound person only provides them with 4 drink tickets, because they are a two-piece band called Mouthbreather.
Dynamic song structures and time signatures with no shortage of distinct melody and thoughtful lyricism. Something for everybody! Except maybe your aunt who might say “I don’t get why he has to do all that yelling.”
