In and out is the way
That we breathe
A fixture beside me
Confirming my need
Within us we hide
All these deeds we're about
I'm up and I'm in
Down and you're out
These words move faster
Than the air we breathe

Twenty odd years I was stuck in a daze
Pulling on fixtures to get through this maze
Changed all my numbers and grew out my hair
I couldn't escape, I was already there
Well I lost my way; she said "that's okay"
The future don't matter outside of today
She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound"
Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground
Don't look down, don't you make a sound
Don't look down, baby, don't look down
This morning I woke and I couldn't see my face
I tore up my memories, did not leave a trace
I'm stuck with these numbers and losing my hair
There's just no escape when you're already there
She says "it's okay, don't we all lose our way?"
The future don't matter when it's time to play
She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound"
Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground
Don't look down, don't you make a sound
Don't look down, baby, don't look down

Every day it stings
Left me with these broken wings
We don't sing, we're just livid
Circumstance, it thrums
Cholera inside me runs
It ain't fun, but we're livin'
Forgive me
But I'm not the one
That you said I'd be
This ain't what I bargained for
Forgive me
But you're not the one
That I thought you'd be
Now what's behind that door?

Tell me what you want from me
Little ones
I'm too bored to play
Don't you know
That I've gone away?
Little ones
I'm too bored to sing
Don't you know
That this don't mean a thing?
Tell me what you want from me

I'd love to crawl inside your head
I curl up in my own instead
It's just gravitation, this infatuation, she said
Don't you quit 'til I'm dead
This anticipation is a squeeze
Inside my head and between your knees
It's your imagination, this maturation you seize
Only losers say "please"
Oh, let me curl up in your head
The things inside my own are dead
It's all anticipation, my imagination, she said

Baby, don't you know
I've gone away
But you're all wrapped
Around these gears
Dreamin' that tomorrow is today
And honey, do you think
The world's gone by?
But don't you look at me
You're only growing
Older 'til you die
Close your eyes
You're only growing older
'Til you die
You're only growing older
Close your eyes
Baby, don't you know
The world's okay
But you're all stuck
Inside these tears
Wishin' that your life
Would slip away
And honey, do you think
You've seen the sky?
But you're the same as me
You're only growing
Older 'til you die
Close your eyes
You're only growing older
'Til you die
You're only growing older
Close your eyes
What's up is down
Baby, don't you know
The world's okay
Baby, don't you know
I've gone away

This desert is a waste of space
You've got me here locked in place
So tell me, what is it gonna be?
Is all this a game?
Are you playing with me?
She says he's gonna come for her
She holds her breath
Don't you know it's true
Some day she's gonna come for me
Some day he's gonna come for me
Everybody is a waste of space
You hold your breath
But you know it's true
Nobody's gonna come for me
He doesn't give a damn about you
She wants these words to be true
I want you here with me
But you call this therapy
You wanna spin my world around
This ain't the first time
I ain't gonna back down
He says he's gonna come for her
She holds her breath
'Til her face runs blue
Some day he's gonna make you see
Some day she's gonna set me free
She says he's gonna come for her
Nobody's gonna come for me
I want you here with me

I keep telling you, baby
I'm just a fool
Such an easy game
When you don't know the rules
I know we're gonna collapse
When I get to the top
And I wanna put it away
I just can't stop
We all fall down
Such a silly game
We both like to play
When you wanna hold me close
I push you away
Sometimes I feel sad
I don't know why
'Cause I never thought
I'd ever get this high
We all fall down

Ian Marquis Portland, Maine
My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
