lyrics

Build a boat, pray for rain
Sky's still bluer than a bleeding ballpoint stain
Killed my son when I was told
The lord won't answer and I'm still on hold
Lead the lamb to hallowed ground
Trying harder to feel something profound
Spill the blood and draw the sign
Spy the summit and start to climb
You are the only thing I can believe in
Even myself I have my doubts
Even myself I can’t figure out
Sing to me in my dreams
Tell me what to believe
Is there anything in the emptiness?
Sing a hymn, read a verse
Congregate and then disperse
And from your chest lift off the weight
Do it over next Sunday
You are the only thing I can believe in
Even myself I have my doubts
Even myself I can’t figure out

//

Now time to improve or dissolve
Now that we're no longer involved
Why can't you grow up with me?
Try not to take it personally
But I only miss you when I have a thought
Which honestly lately isn't a lot
There's something that I've been meaning to say
But we're not on speaking terms
Now time to quit cold turkey
All of the things that once were me
Cut through this stagnant cocoon
Do what I know I need to do
Plan to move three thousand miles away
And straighten up my little life today
Cause I only miss you when I have a thought
And I'd rather not
You know what they say about the best laid plans
Slipping like sand through your clumsy hands
You were the ocean tearing its way through stone, slow
You know what they say about having hope
Concerning the things that you do not know
I was a blind man groping his way to truth

about

Mouthbreather image

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.” ... more
