lyrics

Crawl out from under covers
there’s a rogue wave coming
All those precious kids
grew up faced with something
Shelter from the storm is all we’re asking for
But there’s a keycode to the kingdom
and we weren’t informed

Our horoscopes said we needed long vacations
From whip cracking cackles of annunciation that
Somewhere there’s a savior that we don’t deserve
Is he writing hallelujahs off of tax returns?
We’ve been enamored by the neon tassels
Hangin off the tits of corporate assholes

I can’t keep on living this way tethered to my phone
Its a short trip from the womb to the grave
What’d you spend it on
You try to fold your hands in shyness and
talk to a human being
I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years

I just want to know if the centaur’s home
I’m logging online when I feel alone
To consummate my prayers and my will to starve
By eating my lunch in the courtyard
It was one ripe banana and an english muffin
Every verb is a nail pried out of your coffin

I can’t keep on living this way
Tethered to my phone
It’s a short trip from the womb to the grave
What’d you spend it on
You try to fold your hands in shyness and
Talk to a human being
I just want to know where you see yourself in ten years
Tenure

Fans of EPD note wit in his lyricism & the raw gravity of his live performances. Listeners will fall under the spell of Nashville pretty boy's ability to create garage-pop which blows a kiss at Squeeze & Harry Nilsson. ... more
