I licked your lips when you were cold
You drank my tears when I would hide
How could I deserve a beautiful one
When she gave me nothing to lean on
My fists were stiff, white knuckled high
Being torn between bed post and life
I’m gonna give you this like it’s the first time
And the last
How, oh how
I have to stop to ask myself now
Why can I not change
Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn your cheek so effortlessly cold
Cut me free with few words
Fight with hearts undone
Turn your face to this everlasting love
A simple day remains a lasting one
And if I ever forget it
I’ll open up my chest and say
Look what you’ve given me
And now we’re here
Deciding dear
With this love be our knife
Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn you cheek so effortlessly cold
Cut me free with few words
Fight with hearts undone
Turn your face to this sweet
Everlasting flare gun
I’m coming to your rescue baby
Harvest me my love
Make me move the moon
Gather pedals and weeds
Take them all and swoon
Give me one more time to coo you
To breathe in the air that surrounds you
All I want is a chain reaction
To spill my brain from all the chaos of attraction
To you
Make me marathon to the theater in your bones
Turn your face to this sweet
Everlasting flare gun
I’m coming to your rescue baby

MAKE TIME FOR NO ONE
I ADMIRE YOUR BODY
I UNDERSTAND YOU
WHAT HURTS YOU
WHAT ARE YOU INTENTIONS
LAY DOWN YOUR BONES
WE NEVER WENT THERE
ALL FOR THE SANE
HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR OTHER
HERE’S MY HEART PLAIN
IS IT FOR THE BROTHERS
DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW AND ALWAYS NEED EACH OTHER
BAKED IN THE MOLD
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVERS
WE FOLLOW IN THE RAIN
DEPRESSED INTO THE RUBBLE
THE RECORDS SHOW OUR HISTORY AND BABY WE’D BE LOST WITHOUT TIME
WHY CAN’T WE STOP THIS MADNESS
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING
I WISH I NEVER MET YOU
I SWEAR I’M CRAZY OVER NEW LIFE
ALL FOR THE SANE
HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR OTHER
HERE’S MY HEART PLAIN
IS IT FOR THE BROTHERS
DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW AND ALWAYS NEED EACH OTHER
BAKED IN THE MOLD
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVERS
WE FOLLOW IN THE RAIN
DEPRESSED INTO THE RUBBLE
THE RECORDS SHOW OUR HISTORY AND BABY WE’D BE LOST WITHOUT TIME

YOU ARE THE SWEETEST DISASTER
MADE A HOME A PLACE FOR THE LONELY
YOU ARE HOLDING ME FOR A RANSOM
AND YOU CALL ME YOUR OWN
BUT YOU KNOW ME SHOWING ALWAYS
WE WILL NEVER SEE IT ALL WAYS
WE MAY NOT CALL OURSELVES DECIDERS
BUT THIS TIME YOU THREW IT LIKE A KNIFE
AND YOU HOLD IN YOUR HEART LIKE ITS FOREVER
TILL THE MOMENTS GONE
BUT YOU KNOW ME SHOWING ALWAYS
WE WILL NEVER SEE IT ALL WAYS
WHO ARE WE NOW
TURNED INTO OUR MOTHERS
TAKE YOUR TIME WITH ME
TAKE YOUR TIME WITH ME
PLEASE DON’T EVER GO
AND NEVER STAY TILL THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR LIFE
WE’VE GOT TO TAKE THE PRETTY HOME
OUR HEARTS A BLANKET NO ONE KNOWS
MY SKIN HAS SEWN YOUR WORDS TO BONE
DON’T EVER THINK THAT I’M ALONE

WE DREW INTO THE SKY
EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE
AND I KNEW IT WAS RIGHT
BY THE FEELING OF YOUR BEARD BETWEEN MY THIGHS
WE WADED IN THE WATERS
A PROMISE THAT I MADE INTO MINE
AND I TOOK IT UPON ME
LIKE A SUPERSTITIOUS FORTUNE COOKIE LINE
HEAVENS MADE ME STRONGER THAN BEFORE
I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE FOREVER MORE
DO YOU THINK YOU’LL WANT TO PAY THE PRICE
IS HAVING ME GO DOWN ON YOU SUFFICE?
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN OUR BODIES WERE TENDER IN THE NIGHT
MY BODY BETWIXT JUST LIKE A SLAIN DRAGON
YOU WERE MY KNIGHT
WANT YOU NEAR ME OH TO SEE YOU CLEARLY
WE WERE SO DISCREET I THOUGHT I’D NEVER NEED YOU IN MY LIFE
DO YOU THINK YOU’LL WANT TO PAY THE PRICE
IS HAVING ME GO DOWN ON YOU SUFFICE?
DO YOU REMEMBER
DO YOU REMEMBER (DO YOU, DO YOU)
DO YOU REMEMBER

I’LL PICK YOUR HEART OUT
AND I’LL WEAR IT PROUDLY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
YOU KNOW MY BIRTHDAY
AND I MET YOUR FATHER BEFORE HE DIED
HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE BEDROOM
WERE ALL YOUR WARS TUNED?
THEY SOUND SO RIGHT
HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE BEDROOM
WERE ALL YOUR WARS TUNED
THEY SOUND SO RIGHT
WE SWIM IN SILENCE
OUR EYES ARE FIGHTING BACKWARDS
WE NEED TO FEEL THE WATER
PREPARE FOR TEARS YOUR DAUGHTER
A LOVE SO SOON REGRETFUL
BUT NOW A HEARTFELT BATTLE
WE WON’T LET THAT HAPPEN
WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN
AGAIN
HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE BEDROOM
WERE ALL YOUR WARS TUNED
THEY SOUND SO NICE
HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE BEDROOM
WERE ALL YOUR WARS TUNED
THEY SOUND SO NICE

I SIP FROM THE SAME GLASS
I KISS A MOUTH ALONE
EACH TIME I THINK OF YOU AND ANOTHER
MY HANDS TURN IN TO HOLD MY BONES
AND I FEEL WHEN IT DONE WE WILL KNOW
AND MY HEART STRINGS WILL BREAK FROM THE HUM
I KNOW YOU GOTTA LOVE ME
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY
BY YOUR SLEEVES
BUT I HOPE YOU DON’T BLAME IT ALL ON ME
YOU WERE PERFECT IN YOUR OBLIVION
BUT YOU HEARD ALL OF MY MISTAKES
I’LL MISS THE SOUNDS WHEN YOU’RE ASLEEP AT NIGHT
KNOWING THAT NOW I’LL BE ARAID
WHEN THE LAST CONVERSATION UNWINDS
AND THE TRUTH IN OUR SKIN TAKES ITS TIME
DOUBLED OVER IN REGRET AND PURGING
CUZ MY ORGANS WERE DRINKING THE WINE
I KNOW YOU GOTTA LOVE ME
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY
BY YOUR SLEEVES
I KNOW YOU GOTTA LOVE ME
WHEN YOU’RE ALONE
AND IS IT POSSIBLE TO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY
BY SLEEVES

Cardioid Portland, Oregon
The main creative project of Lizzy Ellison (previously of Portland’s Radiation City), Cardioid flits between genres and
tones with the sly, dexterous abandon of an artist in full control. Ellison terms it “fantasy metal,” silvery and elusive, resoundingly strong yet invitingly fluid. pre-order Fantasy Metal vinyl!!

Absolutely brilliant! Sounds like a mix of styles from all their previous albums. It's a shame they stopped making music, but this was a fantastic send-off!

Lost track of these guys for a couple years, then saw the Tiny Desk concert come up in my feed. I've had the album on loop on Spotify since Friday. This song in particular has been stuck in my head all afternoon.
