"matpakke" (self-titled EP) lyrics
1. aren't you alice?
tears confuse me
i don't know what to say
"that's okay buddy, that's okay
that's just how she communicates"
no changes for our wages
i'm chasing a strange fixation
it wasnt really easy
but maybe you can, too
all your day dreams coming true
hanging in the clouds
playing it by ear
i think i see my house from here
if there's anything you taught me
it's how to run away
inhaling all the excess from the other day
no traces of our faces
in some cases ends up with the razor
beaches look so different when no one is around
the waves and you upon the ground
walking through the sand
waiting for you there
the first time he ever cared
our fixations are just phases
our places, never not always changing
if i call you, will it undo
what i'm hoping to, never get me going to
small places in admiration
my creations searching for salvation
no refund for the quiet one
she always had some fun as long as he could hate someone
2. stair counter
stair counter pill popper
get a fucking nose job
i hate it when you act like there's nothing you can do
dogman birdman
get a fucking life man
or stay inside and make it seem like no one ever gave a fuck
you're a young man becoming obsolete
and you're gonna be an old man pissing in the street
and i know you're gonna act like you couldn't foresee
i hope you know that you're just one of three
3. big smelly shoes
i had a moment just a few nights ago
i think i'm finally ready to let you go
i still haven't found someone new
it's gonna be pretty hard to replace you
varicose veins on my left side brain
picking up the pace so i don't go insane
stuck in a rut like bill's always saying
here i am with no shoes on
breathe it in and tell me bout it
how does it feel?
"it's nothing like i thought
it makes me feel so real
the people in my head come out
and tell me to steal
guess you wouldn't approve"
4. human sawdust
you, you're larger than life
i know you're gonna make it right
please don't try to fight it
cause we worked on this all night
i hope you enjoy the view
i painted it just for you
put your 3D glasses on
cause i only had red and blue
climbing into bed
and i know it's in my head
and i'd rather be dead
guess i'll stay awake instead
feeling confined
and i'm losing my mind
and i think i must have left it behind
climbing into bed
and i know it's in my head
and i'd rather be dead
guess i'll stay awake instead
feeling confined
and i'm losing my mind
and i think i must have left it behind
you are hardly one to preach
living on a made-up beach
cutting up the cake
so everybody gets a piece
but i see you've been ignored
so here's your reward
it's all i could afford
just another song with two chords
climbing into bed
and i know it's in my head
and i'd rather be dead
guess i'll stay awake instead
feeling confined
and i'm losing my mind
and i think i must have left it behind
climbing into bed
and i know it's in my head
and i'd rather be dead
guess i'll stay awake instead
feeling confined
and i'm losing my mind
and i think i must have left it behind
5. orfoe
dogman, birdman, spray can
sunburned pig in the cage again
long hair, feet bare, subtle glare
a sprout fan, a lily-livered semi-man
first we started aging
now it's always raining
how are you complacent
when everything is changing?
skating's overrated
punk rock's overrated
love is overrated
if your point of view is jaded
6. (oh, oh) she's on fire
he called her up just in time
she never knew how much he tried
but now she don't care and she dyed her hair
as red as his blood on the armchair
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
does it feel crazy? does it feel good?
isn't it easy being understood?
and aren't you glad somebody finally gets you?
and they'll never forget you
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
hey, hey, uh, remember me?
just another pointless memory
did you ever read that letter i sent you?
i hope it didn't upset you
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
(oh, oh) she's on fire
