I have been here all this time saving up my charms watching trees grow high you can't see me all at once I'm shiny like glass and cracking up sidewalks who will ever know what I have known who can ever know what I know? I don't need no alibi just because I had a different starting line even when the streets are quiet my voice is on my sleeve now my jacket's on fire don't you know oh don't you know it's carved in my bones don't you know oh don't you know I call all these streets my home I have been here all this time saving up my charms watching trees grow high you can't see me all at once I'm shiny like glass and cracking up sidewalks who will ever know what I have known who can ever know what I know?

Fighters 03:14
While you were close beside me I saw that silver stream your hands are soft but I have to try to catch the glimmer and sting we had it all together you can hold me at the door we never really said goodbye so I can't tell if you're there going away from the feel of you we can give it one more try but I don't know how to tell you to keep digging while I fly tell me not to do it to take this whole thing down tell me what I have to do to keep you close to me tell me what to do don't tell me what to do

Keep up keep up you're cold to it so I started cutting I know I know it doesn't help out at all keep up keep up you're close to death and I started counting I know I know it doesn't help out at all I'd do anything for love as long as it doesn't take much I do not pretend to bend for us anymore you could be my guy you could be my guy come on come on start it up with anyone breathing we're not bad, we just ran out of fire come on come on let's just keep everything moving I know i know it's kind of exotica you've already lost now we're tied you could be my guy you could be my guy

THIS IS A HAPPY SONG // This is a happy song about how you came into my life it has no ending this is a happy song even though I haven't figured it out happy happy happy yeah you got me falling in I don't even know your favorite things I should be asking I have so much to say but when you look into my eyes I got nothing nothing yeah I'm gonna jump today even though I hear the warning the drop is nothing 'cause when you talk to me the noise disappears and I am happy happy happy yeah if I could show you the things I have collected alone while I was waiting there'd be so much to say but when you look into my eyes I got nothing nothing yeah

Dedication 03:29
For the rest of the night let's travel as fast as we can 'till we know where we're going hold hands pretend like we're closer to what we want what else do you want me to ask for what's the rush for? for the rest of the night let's travel as fast we can 'till it all turns white hold hands and pretend like that we're closer to what we want what else do you want me to ask for what's the rush for? let the first be first and let's let the last be good we'll pretend we're better than we were before let's drive and drive forever let's drive and drive forever I hope it goes well for the rest of the night

Jungly 03:48
Seems like you're fine you're fine feels like you're always crashing the jungle seems like you're all alone but I'll always be watching under you got it all worked out your heart is almost hollow I could wish so much for you ah the sky is breaking up above you ahh the sky is breaking off ahhhh your blood is darker in the ocean ahhhh you'll never hear me say you waste my time you could go on forever you know the storm is only thunder and don't cry those tears for us honey I will always be watching under you got it all worked out your heart is almost hollow I could do so much for you ah the sky is breaking up above you ahh the sky is breaking off ahhhh your blood is darker in the ocean ahhhh and you will hear me say your part is over, your part is over you'd better rest a while your part is over, it's almost over we're gonna rest a while

Drink from the weather, I drink from the well I live in the corners, the stadiums and songs in all of the coral and all of the fields I'll bury your sorrow away from here all that you have loved will not go away sleep through the fires, sleep through the spells I keep all the stories of the people I know a ll of the strangers I still love the same all that we gather will not go away all that you become I will not let go

about

Strange Bloom was written, recorded, and mixed over the course of a six-month-long co-habitation in a Brooklyn apartment. It incorporates lush vocals, richly-stacked violins, bizarre forays into electronica, and an arsenal of unexpected instruments: cardboard paper tubes, trash-filled wastebaskets, live trumpets, howling wolves, and setting 065 on the Casio.
