Mehdi Sahlia Matt Franck never disappoints even with less convoluted structures than in his other projects. These tunes are really catchy, good production (that Jazzmaster tone…) are great to hear him do lead vocals Favorite track: Marbles.

Olive 02:08
Did you see her bag in the house? Or hear the floorboards split beneath the bed? She takes me anywhere she wants So we’re dying on the couch instead Take more Flair down our street Wait for me Did she cut across the park? Or eat the rosebuds and trash up off the ground? It doesn’t seem like she needs me Whenever we hit the concrete It only feels pointless to me now

Pryor Creek 02:27
We need to find some common ground To support the contract that we’ll break My hands are shaking Are these lives worth taking? Does a pray seem uncalled for, this time around? Did you know I miss you, when you’re not around? But not in a loving way Please keep your eyes on the road It takes awhile to get there We’ve got some time to kill and my living will was scripted when I wrote this song Does a pray seem uncalled for, when feeling like I do?

Larson 04:08
I’m passing on this aging disease While these bright lights secure and ease The terms of this were so misread Causing last nights and bar fights to be all in my head I found the tape that you made and I refuse to thank you I’m replacing words with bitter songs It’s what I’m used to You stole another hour from me and I blame myself entirely The moods you hold in your hands Paired with this list of demands Their several ways to see a different shade of me I think I’m happy when you’re not I’m finding new ways to break your heart I think I’m happy when you’re not around But it’s not the same this time
4.
We’ll thank god for the storm drain It held down what we couldn’t contain And kept the hero on our tracks But no matter how close we are We’ll never need him around If only I could help prevent The scene that hasn’t happened yet It’d probably get you off your back It always seems to stay the same Awaiting your help by the window frame Nothing new to rearrange It always seems to stay the same Fixing the score in your favorite game Does it really need to change? We’re trying to find the north star We’ve been waiting for it to come down But no matter how close we are We’ll never need you around
5.
Marbles 03:16
Don’t meet me here Their nights are all alike It wouldn’t be a surprise If it killed you to explain how he behaves Throw out amends I’ll break before she bends On the stage, in the air, underground So don’t leave me out here To push around Some of these questions seem to walk that line I wanna wait until you have more time So far I’ve cracked when I would talk Break concentration, but I just can’t see through other walls In this car the whipping never stops She stole salvation, but I just can’t see through other walls So far I’ve found that I cannot clutch adaptation I just can’t see through other walls
6.
Heel 04:41
Nothing needs to change She’s stacking toys in the perfect way I’m walking on my toes again Parading pride every now and then So what should I do, To make this up to you? Someday I’ll stand twice as tall as them
