Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form
Crop circles in the carpet,
Sinking, feeling...
Spin me around again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets
A mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy...
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years,
They were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best
Of course it is
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need
You decided this
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, what did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Uh-uh, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit

Down along the creek
I remember something
Her, the heron hurried away
When first I breeched that last Sunday, ooh
Low moon don the yellow road
I remember something
That leaving wasn't easing all that heaving in my vines
And as certain it is evening at is now is not the time, ooh
Toiling with your blood
I remember something
In B, unrationed kissing on a night second to last
Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass
And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp
Oh then, how we gonna cry?
'Cause it once might not mean something?
Love, a second glance, it is not something that we'll need
Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease
And I see you
Turn around, you're mighty
Turn around, now you're mighty
God damn, turn around now
You're mighty

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much, it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl
Girl
When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl,
Girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends around,
You feel a fool
When she says she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl,
Girl,
Girl
Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Ah, girl, girl

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time.

Ben Vining Chicago, Illinois
Hi, I'm Ben! I'm a producer, composer, and songwriter from Phoenix, AZ. I love experimenting with unconventional production
techniques, and also creating my own custom digital instruments and effects.
My favorite artists to listen to are Flume, Porter Robinson, Bon Iver, Madeon, and Louis The Child. I love vocal effects, processing, pitch shifting, and just all-around mangling of an audio signal.
