about
from Jack & Jill "Fancy Birdhouse"
lyrics
I broke my heart before you could
So don’t bother coming inside
I smashed it to pieces and left myself helpless
Like you would’ve if you had the time
I made myself have a nightmare
So I could find reason to run
In it my demons all laughed at me naked
Why do I play the object of fun?
I tried to cut off my own fingers
While learning to tie my own shoes
Full of frustration and full of self-doubt
You know if you don’t try you can’t lose
So I had to run from your kisses
‘cuz they felt too good to be true
I just couldn’t conceive of a time
When you loved me the way I loved you
I love you
So don’t bother coming inside
I smashed it to pieces and left myself helpless
Like you would’ve if you had the time
I made myself have a nightmare
So I could find reason to run
In it my demons all laughed at me naked
Why do I play the object of fun?
I tried to cut off my own fingers
While learning to tie my own shoes
Full of frustration and full of self-doubt
You know if you don’t try you can’t lose
So I had to run from your kisses
‘cuz they felt too good to be true
I just couldn’t conceive of a time
When you loved me the way I loved you
I love you

Series of Nested Universes
by Sista Majsupported by 13 fans who also own “Before You Could”
Psychedelia in the vein of late-60s Pink Floyd, this album is perfect for really anything - Background music, sleeping music, driving music, or just something to put on to fill the silence. Easily in my top 5 favourite albums of all time - Quite a find to stumble across!
