I’m looking out for ghosts
I’m driving to the coast
I’m on some blackened burnt-out no-phone-signal gravel road
I know that nothing lasts
I know I drive too fast
I know the future’s here but it feels kinda like the past
I think this portal’s broken
I’m still in-between the in-between
I’ve barely spoken to anyone for days, I mean it
Keep turning ‘round this corner
But every time, you’re there
Spinning drunken angels ‘round the floorboards
Just want you to know that I don’t care
Just want you to know that I don’t care
I’ll let you go when I get there
I’ll let you go
I’m looking out for signs
As the bats hang from the power lines
And I know you try to find me
But now I’m somewhere else entirely
And what I leave behind will be for now and all of time
But I don’t care
I want you to know that I don’t care
I’ll let you go when I get there
I’ll let you go
And I’m counting down the hours
Yeah everyone is waiting for something out here
But I don’t care anymore
No I don’t care anymore
I’m not there anymore
I’m not there

well soon you'll come downstairs to tell me everything you dreamt
the other night you cried and said that you were tired of this
you don't want to exist anymore
you said you don't want to exist anymore
you're waiting, patient, on the train as it derails
you're crying quietly on my couch
first day of autumn, feel it in the breeze
i wish that i could make this easier
i wish that i could make this easier
you cannot sleep but please keep dreaming
even though i know it seems like everything has fallen to pieces
soon enough the pendulum will swing
soon enough the sunlight will stream in
soon enough the pendulum will swing
i'll be waiting just outside
i'll be waiting just outside
i'll be waiting just outside
i'll be waiting just outside
i picked you roses from the lakeside

Don’t sleep
Just stay awake with me
Just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait
Let’s watch the lightning strike the trees outside my window
Watch how our skin glows
Right now right now right now right now right now right now right now
The thunder echoes
But inside my head the storm clouds lift
And it’s like nothing else exists
Oh turn the light off
Watch the gum trees fly off
Into the the electric night
I traced your outline
In the backlight, in the backlight
And now and now and now and now and now and now and now
I’ll go straight back to that night
When we stumbled home on hot night gravel
The threads that held my heart unravelled
Turn the light off
Watch the gum trees fly off
Into the electric night
Don’t sleep
Just stay awake with me
Just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait
Let’s watch the lightning strike the trees
In the electric night
Under the light of the waxing moon and dull festoon
Come lie on the table
Come over when you’re able to
We can watch the bats fly up into the black night
(don’t sleep)
We can watch the bats fly
(just wait just wait just don’t sleep)
Up into the black night
(just wait just wait just don’t sleep)
We can watch the bats fly
(just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just wait just don’t sleep)

Well, come on in
I’m in the dark again
The swell is heaving
You might as well jump in
If not now then when
I’ll stand in the corner
It’s loud but I like to feel the ground shaking
Neon and smoke machines
You tell me again that you think you should be close to me
Well, come on in
Open your eyes and let the smoke lift
The air is vibrating and I’m trying to say something
But you don’t wanna hear it
(Again again again again again again again)
This isn’t how I pictured it
This isn’t how I wanted it
You didn’t have to say that
Even if that’s what you think
This isn’t how I pictured it
This isn’t how I wanted it
You didn’t have to say that
I need to be on my own
It’s just that I would rather be alone again
Well, come on in
I don’t need much but I want everything
This isn’t how I pictured it
This isn’t how I wanted it
You didn’t have to say that
Even if that’s what you think
And this is not what it should be
Can’t stop thinking how it could be
I wanna feel it again
I need to be on my own
It’s just that I would rather be alone again
I wanna hear things even louder
I wanna hear them amplified
Like when you listen underwater
And you can hear the tide rising
Bringing with it pieces
Of things we buried deeper
Things we thought we’d get to
And things we’d rather lose
I wanna hear things even louder
I wanna hear them amplified
Like when you listen underwater
And you can hear the tide rising
Bringing with it pieces
Of things we buried deeper
Things we thought we’d get to
And things we’d rather lose
Things we thought we’d get to
And things we’d rather lose

interlude (a dream)

And the Monaro gums twist their limbs to the sky
And a woman told me that everything down here is dying but no one knows why
And all these memories are littering the glittering ground
And right now I swear I cannot hear a sound
And the ghost gums walk out of the lake
And I wake from a dream
And my words are tangled wild roses with the longest thorns you’ve ever seen

pieces of you
03:15

This city is filled with stubble and denim talking targets over lattes
I spent my morning stepping over pieces of other people’s dinner spewed up on the pavement
And they’re trying to sell it, but I’m not buying it
I don’t need anything, I don’t need a thing
But at the canal I wished you were closer
I hardly know you anymore
Anymore
I went to the graveyard
Old women with candles were praying to saviors, or talking to themselves
I dared all the ghosts to just jump out and shock me
But I bled through my stockings
So I went home early
This city is filled with pieces of you
Some that I hardly notice
Some that I do
Maybe everything I ever wanted
I already had
Everything you ever wanted
You already had it
You already had it
And you realise that you had it all along
And now you wanna go back
But everything you ever wanted
You already have it
You already have it
So stop wishing for the time to stop
You have everything you ever wanted
You have everything you ever wanted

In the hallway on my birthday when you called me
Now we’re halfway through December
Didn’t think that you’d remember
But you always do
And you always knew
How to get me in the stomach
Like a knife straight to the guts
With just a word or two
And you always do
And now the bats are flying laps around the loungeroom
I try to catch them
But I found you
Sleeping on the mattress
Got distracted by the x-ray of your vertebrae
Glowing in the downstairs room
Look at how the sinew makes its way around your spine
It moves around inside my mind
I see it when I close my eyes
And I’m sure that now you hate me
But still you come and take me out the door
Onto the bitumen
Lie down and watch the sky spin all around us
And if there’s anything out there, they would have found us by now
In the hallway on your birthday with your fingers on my collarbones
I don’t wanna be alone
I hate it how this time keeps flying around us
And that’s how they found us
And still the bats are flying laps around the lounge room
Try to catch them
But I found you
Sleeping on the mattress
Got distracted by the x-ray of your vertebrae
Glowing in the downstairs room
Look at all the pieces of your spine
Spinning dancing in a line
I see them when I close my eyes
And I’m striking all these matches but not one of them catches
You cut your teeth reading the patterns
Finding meaning in the madness
But the ground beneath you cracks
And the windows are all shattered
And the only thing that matters is asleep on the mattress
Lost in the poetry of a vivid dream
And by now you know that all these glowing parallel lines are just light leaks through the blinds
And they’ll disappear in time
Into the hallway
But you’ll see them when you close your eyes

Go outside open your eyes
In the smoke haze watch the sky glow
I’m trying to let this go
You tripped the switch
The lights have gone out
And you’re not gonna cut it now
I’m not calling you tonight
(While you’re with some other girl)
I’m not calling you tonight
(While you’re with some other girl)
Are you surprised?
Open your eyes
You were never really with me
And everytime you could be
You left me waiting in the hallway
Never let me see behind the door
Stayed one step away
But now I’ve been here for long enough to know that what we had was not love
It cuts through
So I’m not calling you tonight
(While you’re with some other girl)
Not calling you tonight
(While you’re with some other girl)
But I’m always waiting
And I’m always wanting for more when there’s never enough
And I’m slipping
And you’re on the other end
Watching on while I am falling again
I am falling, falling
Yeah I’m always waiting
And I’m always wanting for more when there’s never enough
And I’m slipping
And you’re on the other end
Watching on while I am falling again
I am falling, falling
If my heart is a labyrinth, you’re outside the walls
And if you climb over you’re falling, falling
So I come unfurled
You’re with some other girl
You were never in my world
You were never in my world
If my heart is a labyrinth, you’re outside the walls
And if you climb over you’re falling, falling
So I come unfurled
You’re with some other girl
You were never in my world
You were never in my world
(While you’re with some other girl
While you’re with some other girl)

all the doors inside my home are slamming into one another
afternoon
late february
i’m waiting for the southerly to bring the ash up from the coast
i’ll try to catch it as it floats down from the sky
the brightest white
it’s all that’s left from distant fires
put down your phone
it’s killing me
you never really look at me
i pick a fight to kill the time
am i enough?
i don’t wanna lose the rush
i don’t wanna lose the rush
all the windows in my home play static white noise television
i try to turn off all the screens
but nothing’s ever quite that easy
change the channel
try rewinding everything that is behind me
once again i play the parts
i didn’t even change the ending
i’ll pay off all my parking fines
convince myself that i will write more
i’ll tell my sister that i miss her
that i wish that i was closer
complain about the humidity
but praise the weather app for being the only thing that is worth trusting
unlike me
think about the time you placed your hand on my back
and i said, i take it back i take it back i take it back i take it back
i don’t love you anymore
i don’t love you anymore
i don’t love you anymore
i don’t love you anymore
half the time i’m used to it
i can’t remember what i miss
i hold too tight
i hold too tight
i hold too tight
i suffocate it

Wait
Open the blinds
I’m on my way
Faster than a beam of light
I can’t wait to see you this time
On my way
You know I’ll cave when I see your face
Just wait
Open the blinds
Leave the window open
I’ll be climbing in
Just wait
I will not weigh you down
A whirlwind will carry me across the town to your street
A whirlwind will carry me
Just open the blinds
Just open the blinds
I’ll be there soon
We’ll lie down
I’m almost there
Right now
Just open the blinds
Just open the blinds
I’ll be there soon
We’ll lie down
We’re on our own time
Just wait
Open the blinds
Leave the window open
I’ll be climbing in

Giving The World Away
by Hatchie
supported by 12 fans who also own “the future is here but it feels kinda like the past”
Hard Rock is my heart, Synthwave is my soul. Keepsake was a great addition to my musical tastes and collection; Now comes... Giving The World Away. By far my favorite track is "Take My Hand." It definitely resonates '80s and one band in particular... The Cure. If only Robert Smith would listen to this; I could only imagine what a collaborative effort between the two would possibly sound like. Bravo Hatchie.

Sometimes I Forget You're Human Too
by Bored at My Grandmas House
Melodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements.
go to album
Gorgeous psych pop as big and sprawling as a clear summer sky, with vocal melodies that swoop and dive.
go to album
Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage.
