1.	Quinn Cicala - In A Diner In Poughkeepsie 02:46	lyrics
I'm afraid that I will one day yell too loud and I will blow my voice out and I will bleed out of my mouth and I won't ever talk again, I won't ever laugh again, and I won't ever sing again to a lover, friend, or crowd But I try not to think about things like that because I wanna be happy, I wanna be the smartest person in the room, and I want everyone to notice when I am present I wanna be laughing at a joke that Jimmy said in a diner in Poughkeepsie and I am surrounded by all my friends I know that it must be hard for you to handle when she is drunk and you're alone and you just wanna go home just know that you are strong, stronger than me, stronger than I could ever be in this life but I try not to think about things like that because I'm gonna be happy, I'm gonna be the brightest person in the room, and everyone will notice when I am absent I'm gonna be laughing at a joke that my best friend said in a restaurant far away from here surrounded by all my friends but just know that you got my attention and I can only hope that I hold your attention
2.	City Mouth - Body and Blood 04:31	lyrics
My body and blood, lord My soul and my skin I’m not sure what they’re there for But I know where they’ve been I’m waking up with bruises I don’t recognize I think I died last night And in a strange twist of fate I woke up with the same tired state as I do every day I don’t know why I still drink I think I’m starting to outgrow regretting things That I can barely remember But one way or another I can’t seem to put this sacrifice to rest My body and blood, lord My soul and my skin I’m not sure what they’re there for But I know where they’ve been And I know what these eyes have seen Is easily forgotten And every day goes by and Everything dies eventually But nothing happens to the ghosts I woke up in the strangest place, I’ve got no coat And it’s cold but I walk home Retracing faces and footprints that followed me to your bed I’d like to stay but I run instead I left no number, no proof that I exist Not that you’ll need it, you could see the signs of trouble on my skin I woke up shaking like I always do And i just know I'm gonna scare you away My body and blood, lord My soul and my skin I’m not sure what they’re there for But I know where they’ve been And I know what these eyes have seen Is easily forgotten And every day goes by and Everything dies eventually But nothing happens to the ghosts Will fear of god send me to heaven Or am I gonna need something more Cause I've been terrified from the beginning I just wanna know what I should prepare for But the bible hasn’t given me comfort I was baptized on a bedroom floor Where I was touched by something other than angels And I just can’t forget anymore Will fear of god send me to heaven Or am I gonna need something more Cause I've been terrified from the beginning I just wanna know what I should prepare for But the bible hasn’t given me comfort I was baptized on a bedroom floor Where I taught myself this feeling was my fault And I don’t wanna feel the shame anymore My body and blood, lord (my body and blood) My soul and my skin (My soul and my skin) I’m not sure what they’re there for (there’s still blood on my hands) But I know where they’ve been (I’m still counting the sins) And I know what these eyes have seen (my body and blood) Is easily forgotten (my soul and my skin) And every day goes by and Everything dies eventually (I’m not scared of the ghosts) But nothing happens to the ghosts (but I know where they’ve been, I know where they’ve been)
3.	I Don't Even Play Guitar in This Band 03:12	lyrics
There is no providence in complaining - all of my emptiness in replacing, now we exist in separate spaces and I've been doing what I can to face it and I miss who I used to be, before I started losing teeth and dying in my sleep In the liminal space between acceptance and rhetoric: what I've been repeatedly ignoring is getting progressively abhorrent In the liminal space between unhappy and undying: I was accepting my despondence - you were unhappy with the silence now I'm regretting all the lost days think I've forgotten how to find them
