mcl refreshingly brilliant bedroom pop. elliott smith comparisons get thrown out a lot these days but songs like band-aid genuinely channel his energy. can't wait for more Favorite track: band-aid.

girl 02:14
i want a girl who can chew up my medicine throw me under the bus when she’s done i want a girl who can rip up my heart and then sweep it under the rug when morning comes back to drag me down in the dust oh i’ll never know when if i got the chance to change my name i would throw my face in the trash, forget the past if i got the chance to cover my tracks i would hop a far running train and never look back at where i came from i want a girl who will stomp on my brain of sin show me everything wrong with myself

band-aid 03:19
he’s a big kid on the swing set holding on for life but he gets too tired so he rubs his eyes jackson teases on the driveway throwing out some lie was it worth a try? did he get the prize? he’s a big shot with the pumpkins and a solution for time such an ugly kind what a stupid crime rip the bandaids see the skin scrape tape the guitar clean lay the body down too composed for sound nothing new to me just an old routine from way back in the day he said it’s okay, it’s better off this way he’s a big star doesn’t care much if he lives or dies when he gets too high or when the well runs dry leaves the bus stop walks the third block to the county line made it super fine yeah he was up all night i’m a grown man work a day job get my laundry done in a quiet hall never too much fun but i’m a clean one and i got freedoms spend my time alone in a quiet home that i used to know let me take you down to a plastic place nothing new to me just an old routine from way back in the day he said it’s okay

dogs 02:02
rain rain falling on my shoulders like a dog i work all day and sleep like a log at night in the moonlight some people say they’re better off when they’re alone i think i know which way i would go if i were you rain rain falling on my head i wanna drown in a pool of my excuses i’ve never been found to be the one who makes you smile all the while i’ll know your name but i won’t know the games you play
6.
got guns in my house i got nothing to die for got nothing to live for got nothing to kill i got guns in my house i got nothing to hide i got nothing to hide i got nothing to hide from you got words in my mouth i got nothing but time i got nothing but time i got nothing but time got words in my mouth i got nothing but time i got nothing but time i got nothing but time time time got guns in my house i got nothing to run from got nothing to hide from got nothing to hide i got guns in my house i got nothing to hide i got nothing to hide i got nothing to hide from but me

everybody that i know eventually gets bored and then leaves me lonely, wanting something that i know will never be in my reach cause i’m ugly stupid always dreaming waiting for the end of the rain haven’t found another who can read or uncode what i’m saying, feeling, thinking that somethings gotta go i need to find a new home, maybe phoenix always loved a desert sunset, a scenery change when i get to heaven will i make any ghost friends or will they see right through me cause not everything lasts when you’ve been to hell and back and that’s terrifying, so blind sided i’ve been crying in my bed for a week, i’ve been trying, i’ve been so damn ready for release, i’ll send my body to sea for a cleansing, tell me it’s okay

best friends 01:46
sunday went away too soon and monday came and made me blue never sure just what to do when the waiter breaks the plate welcome all the summer guests some will stay to see who’s next til winter comes and shakes the rest out into the street now i’m sitting on a pull out couch slouched with nobody around funny when the circle tilts they follow the sun south so take a bow and smile at the leaves that pile around your neck you like to think they fell for you but you’re not fooling me cause even when i’m gone my memory will be your song and i will wait for you in heaven like a best friend yesterday was trash i guess tomorrow might just be the last wishing for the best when all the cars begin to crash satellites and radios and telephones to say hello but who is there to dial up if no one cares at all so take me out back and grab a gun out of the shed, and laugh maybe i’m a hollow hack fit for a shallow death when you see me on the tv set take a bow and smile at the boy who couldn't help but fall into your vacant lap but even when i’m gone my memory will be your song and i will wait for you in heaven like a best friend

i understand you don’t want a man and you deserve so much more than what i am but it makes me happy to know that i am alive at the same time as you so you can pack up your things and take a train out east and i will wait here for you like i always do cause i’m your dog on a leash a silly kid stuck in between always looking for something to believe

middle school soccer team bench warm king i practice like the other boys but never can keep up the speed i’m good at other things like filling up my notebook with superhero scenes and writing little poems for you, that you’ll never read i’d need more self-esteem but sometimes i think maybe you feel the same way about me high school freaks all give me the creeps i don’t ever wanna grow up i don’t wanna get mean or hurt anything i see you in geography you talk to me at lunch i never care to say it but to me you mean a bunch and that’s enough i’m too shy for this but sometimes i think maybe you think the same thing about me and next chance i get i think i might tell you everything sitting on the bleachers playing with my hands i pick be a little dandelion and hand it to you smiling down at your shoes
