lyrics

What if I stayed home?
Threw myself a bone
Meet my partners piss and moan
They’re friends to me alone
Sit, be still and listen fool
You are drunk and on the edge of the roof
Anxious not to stay indoors
Nintendo or pacing floors
Another month or maybe more
Make a simple meal with microwave
Sustenance to keep the pace
I’ll never see the city at this rate
An uneasy peace for me and the beast
Agonized by lavish feast
and not a mouth to eat
Why’d I labor in fallow fields
What do these acres yield?
Unfed, my sickly mouth is sealed
Staring down poodle in the hatchback up ahead
Wishing I had the good grace to be better bred
We’re both just turning tricks until we’re fed again
But would you know the difference if I started playing dead
Now I fold my laundry and I hope I get a clue
Leaving space for thinking isn’t always good for you
I get bored and consider unplugging life support
I couldn’t stand to hear the little beeping anymore

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.”
