lyrics

Glass and needles, I'm walkin' round on tiptoe,
You say you understand, but your hand's on your hip, though
I might seem a little dry from the get-go, there's life in me still,
I need a little twist, though, a geographic shift so,
But it's continental drift slow

Chorus:
This will never work in the shape I'm in,
Round hole with the square peg syndrome again,
I'm not comfortable in my own skin,
Round hole with the square peg syndrome again,

Pass the bottles, I'm swillin' like I'm at sea,
I'm really such a joke, but no one seems to get me,
If I seem a little shy recommit me, or my wallflower curse
Will then chew up and spit me, bones and all it rips me,
Into a masticated mess, I really should be leaving

This puzzle ends if I rotate some more but I can't,
This mismatchin' keeps happenin', I struggle to stay switched in
Keep it positive mode, but after the fourth or fifth go,
My hopes are dashed across the cliffs, because I know...

Time Stamp
by Annuals

I've loved this band for years, and this "swan song?" of a record is a capstone. Their genre varies from folktronica tropicalia to straight up indie rock with some Pro Tools turntablism thrown in. Caleb Bailey

Home (2009)
by Gavin Castleton

Gavin is one of those songwriters that changes his genre/concept on almost every album. If you like this (or if you don't) give another one a try. This one's a zombie scare relationship thing. Dope. Caleb Bailey

Tribute To Snake Charmer's Music
by HolyPalms

Holy Palms did a great thing with drones and snake charming music. Dirty and satisfying, with some great beats and strange ... whooping sounds? Caleb Bailey
