seed wakes all night in sweat better than regret you'd probably feel light & free but you're with me now, we were not blooming but out came this seedling who bound you like a sailor's knot tied to my docks ooh, I anchor you but not to the ground to a deeper dark where I pull you down you see creatures & critters swimming all around you see ugly things bound up in me past times I count as lost times they got the best of me well, since you got the worst half we might as well agree: I'm not the man you dreamed and in the clouds it seems so much lighter and serene till we become nothing ooh, I anchor you but not to the ground to a deeper dark where I pull you down you see creatures & critters swimming all around you see ugly things bound up in me

Winter Coat 03:40
a winter coat to hold me together up in New York we dress for the weather I'm wrapped in goose feathers I'm hidden and safe I'd rather not leave this shell that I've made but don't leave me alone don't leave me with strangers you know that I'll pull towards permanent dangers I love a good secret let it sit in the cellar let it age and excite me eighty proof all the better my hand in the wolf's fur my head had no clue my heart is an island eyes hazy and blue I'm useless and smiling I really should go you found what I'm hiding I'm reckless you know I'm reckless
3.
Bold 03:27
I can't say it wasn't bold to knock, ring then knock to get your attention even though I should not I'm begging to fill my gut with no more than a fist when crack went my rib cage she flew away with it come back shy song bird come back shy song bird come back shy song bird come back I've sinned, i've missed the mark if it was you (and it was) don't write this down in ink in your big book please I'm begging to fill my cup with saw dust and to grow some luck I'm sighing to fill my lungs with twenty one grams of love

again there is a bridge we will not cross our stubborn seed came quietly like a message o'er tin cans and string giggles and toes tying the notes that make up you plus me I don't think it's called harmony it's between that an cacophony again there is a bridge we will not cross so will you kiss me with your soft pink lips when you say 'sorry' with your body even though your eyes want to say goodbye let's lay out in the soft blue grass with our arms up and our guards down to cradle our divided heads and watch the rain green sky we're heavier than the earth for days stooping beneath the clouds I say "again there is a cross we will not bridge"
5.
Three Drinks 03:39
everyone knows the wages of sin everyone knows the places i've been it doesn't take two to lose you I see i'm always much farther than I used to be I've got a head full of steam three drinks to soften the scene and you've had every right to this my silence is torture & bliss my silence is torture & bliss I thought you were the big bad wolf I thought I'd fall into the black hole sideways glances & crooked chances I'm sure the nameless love word dances I've got a head full of steam three drinks to soften the scene and you've had every right to this my silence is torture & bliss my silence is torture & bliss honesty it will tear you apart honestly lets go back to the start back to the back to the back to the start but I've got a head full of steam three drinks to soften the scene and you've had every right to this my silence is torture & bliss my silence is torture & bliss

Reminder 04:36
provider, not peace-of-mind-er you hang, kite looking down your nose at those tiptoeing and pickpocketing life son of a clean bride split from open skies blind to twenty one one wont you come if even in metaphor and cast the pharisees out of me wanting signs you with your sugar brown eyes and pre assembled earth time figure this jigsaw, pigsty life I tried reminder, from your landlord we all equal lesser the clean and the poor dressers the yes-ers and the no-ers those bloated with the answers see you stuck up in a cloud wont you come if even in metaphor and cast American out of me wanting kings you with your sugar brown eyes and pre assembled earth time figure this jigsaw, pigsty life I tried you with your magazine smile and preassembled earth while figure this jigsaw, pigsty life I tried christ, we're all overfed filled with showbread and manna christ, we're all overfed filled with 'holy words' and manners

about

This live set was deliciously recorded at SubCat Studios. These track's speak for themselves, showing M&V's hard work over the past year. You can also find these songs on M&V's self titled LP from late last year.
