warm hands
spreading through my thin skin
sickness
summons up my mouth to mouth
and palm to chest
if we only held our hands
much more honestly together
we would never need to say,
"i'm sorry," to each other
if we whispered every secret
we could trust to keep together
i'd be holding hands with your hands
i'd be holding hands with your hands
i'd be holding hands with your hands
i'd be holding hands with you.
warm hands
spreading through my thin skin
again
sickness
summons up my mouth to mouth
and palm to chest
a deep breathing exorcism
a heart beating exorcism
a chest caving excavation

when i get down in your town
you make a bed for me
next to yours
and you're warm
and i'm warm.
when i lay down in my own town
i lay the longest heart
next to no one
and i'm cold
i am cold.
what can you do?
nothing.
nothing.
what can you do?
nothing.
nothing.
when i wake up in my own town
i open up my eyes and see
the sun shine down on me
and i know it's not as warm as you could be
but what can i do?

it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good when you're feelin' me
it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good when you're feelin' me
it feels so good to feel the bad in you
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good when you're feelin' me
it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good to feel the bad in you
and it feels so good when you're feelin' me
it feels so good to feel the bad in you
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights,
boy, you'll find my devil
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights, let's grow old
turn out the lights,
our bad will find each other good.

i'm underneath a thousand pound blanket
the weight of it is bending me
you ask if we could talk about it
i say
NO
NO
i'm hiding underneath another thousand pounds of snow
the weight of it is bending me and breaking all my bones
you ask if we could talk about it
i say
NO
NO
i'm underneath a thousand pound blanket
the weight of it is bending me
i'm hiding underneath another thousand pounds of snow
the weight of it is bending me and breaking all my bones
i'm underneath another thousand pounds of falling snow
the weight of it is bending me
and breaking off the limbs of trees
and passers-by are shocked by me
ooo i slipped
and broke some shit
and smashed your car
and left you standing
empty handed
in the cold
i didn't even leave you with a note.
all that i know
is what i know
and i know
i don't know
i don't know.

old fashioned friends

if we mess it up, we could comb it out
find a better nest
if we slip it up, we could slip it out
fall out with each other
old fashioned friends
don't stay friends
old fashioned friends
don't stay friends for good
we could always mess it up
trying to keep the secret safe between us
if we built the best nest
let the secret grow warm between us
if we leave the lights on
hold your face
keep it sweet between us
we could still slip it up, fuck it up
and miss the old fashioned YOU
old fashioned friends
don't stay friends
old fashioned friends
don't stay friends for good
i'm taking all my clothes off
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm letting all the lights down
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm taking all my clothes off
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm letting all the lights down
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm taking all your clothes off
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm turning all the lights on
looking for a different YOU
i'm tearing all your clothes off
looking for a different kind of friend
i'm turning all the lights on
looking for a different YOU
i'm turning all the lights on
looking for a different YOU
OLD FASHIONED FRIEND
WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?
OLD FASHIONED FRIEND
will you be my friend?
OLD FASHIONED FRIEND
WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?
OLD FASHIONED FRIEND
WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND
for good?
if we mess it up, we could comb it out
build a better nest
if we slip it up, we could slip it out
hold on to each other, now
old fashioned friend
will you be my friend for good?

SOUSOU Toronto, Ontario
My music has never been about being beautiful or perfect. It's about feeling and making you, dear listener, feel something that I feel. Sometimes it's ugly, repetitive, or uncomfortable. It's a direct conduit to the heart and all the messy, fucked up shit I've felt. It's also about finding something that takes flight from the chest. Pull up a comfortable chair, and be lost for a little while. ... more
