Got a bad, bad habit
Of drinking out of lonely regret
Forcing fabrications
In the waves of my empty patience
Got a bad, bad habit
Of stumbling into my bed
And waking with the lights on
And aching with all that I’d done
And I run away
with these rocks in my shoes
When I feel okay
I’ll be sure to tell you the news
Got a bad, bad habit
Of calling when I’m out of my mind
Asking for something
Cause I feel like I got nothing
Got a bad, bad habit
Of sharing too much of myself
Hoping that maybe
It was the truth that you gave me
And I run away
with these rocks in my shoes
When I feel okay
I’ll be sure to tell you the news

Why does desperation follow you
You look back with such regret
Got a thousand little secrets
That we ought not ever tell
Time will put them all to rest
There's a name for girls like me
It's getting rough for girls like me
They're giving up on girls like me
A pariah of antiquity
Trapped in times no longer known
Forgotten and untouchable
It's easier to be alone
I don't like your choice of words
There's a name for girls like me
It's getting rough for girls like me
They're giving up on girls like me
When you get older
Church bells toll for someone else
Love grows colder so be kind and have some sympathy for girls like me
Hunger for affection
Like an infection of the soul
Still we're wild and so free
There are no fetters on the girls like me
There's a name for girls like me
It's getting rough for girls like me
They're giving up on girls like me

Fever Dream

What we know is only what we see
What’s beneath is bursting at the seams
Temporary ripples in the stream
Oh tell me what it means
This fever dream
At the height of human suffering
Is the light of everything between
Ocean depths and Distant stars unseen
Oh tell me what it means
This fever dream
Faces of the people that I’ve been
Cleanse away the past, wipe it clean
Open up the skin and let it breathe
Oh tell me what it means
Oh tell me what it means
This fever dream

Fire

It was an accident
A case of negligence
That started the fire earlier that night
A flash of cherry in the dark
A couple local boys on a mission to get high
At the local mine
It was an accident
Tried to put it out but the flames grew higher
It's getting out of hand
Caught up in the wind and the flames went high
Fire flashing in their eyes
Running hard through the dark
Lungs burning through their hearts
And they got away unto this day
It was an accident
Tried to put it out but the flames grew higher
It was an accident (Don't talk about it)

Writers altering the past
Worried that our history
Will repeat before collapse
Force fed lies shrunk down in size
Communication barricade
Give way to our demise
The burning heart on the precipice of change
When we awake to see our puppet strings
Is it too late to fix anything
Cities built on bloodied soil
Displacement of a nation
Now connected in betrayal
What will happen after us
After endless skies unwind
And they scatter into dust
The burning heart on the precipice of change
When we awake to see our puppet strings
Is it too late to fix anything

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
