Are you are you allowed to be like that in my head
You feel so nice in my mind
Can you feel the pitter patter of our hearts typing secret messages to each other?
Am I just imagining you're adding to a little nest
In my heart that you built
Every time I forget what it's like to be near you

Fill My Cup

My mind is carving a path
Through a whirlwind
My head feels fine
My body doesn't lie
I wish to see clearly
I want to fulfill life's fantasy
I can taste the silver lining
I'm in it to win it in a different way
I can feel the warmth of autumn colors changing me
I empty my cup every day with hopes that I'll be filled back up
What are my true desires?
Unattached and open ended
I will never be excluded
Traveling in synergy
My rock and roll fantasy
I honor my request for unlimited access
I can feel the warmth of autumn colors changing me
I empty my cup every day with hopes that I'll be filled back up

How baby can I set you free?
I don't wanna get lost in your mysery
Watch you grasp
For the sand as it runs from their hands
Don't you know how I move
I go two steps backwards but I'm always moving forward
Don't you know how I move
I'm just a body for you to prove a point to
How baby can I set you free
I don't wanna get lost in your misery

If you wanna meet the devil
Take a good look at yourself
Like a comet seeks the sun
Itll melt it's icy core
All that's good
All that's light
It won't take hold without a fight
If you wanna meet the devil
I dreamed that your eyes turned black
I dreamed that your head followed back
It's too easy to be bad when you're a hedonist
If you wanna meet the devil..
I dreamed...
I want to lay with you
I want to be
Raw and innocent next to you
This isn't the right time the right feeling
Won't you come and please take me home
Its too easy to be bad when you're a hedonist

Dream Elevator

Do you dream of all my pieces
Do you play with my innocent limbs
I see you visiting our memory today
Do you offer flowers to my grave
Do you dream
Yeah you called me
A dirty flower
Wondering how I escape
Unscathed unphased
You visit my grave
Notes trickle off my tongue from the backbone of reality
I am a habit of the substanceless
I am a thought of the formless existence
Taste buds on my mind
The dream elevator moves sideways
Making little pacts with life all the time
You visit my grave

I'm eating a persimmon on a plane
I need a napkin but I have no shame
Yesterday we bought tropical fruit in Toronto
I brought a handful of lychee and rombuton on the plane to remember you by
I thought it was today can't wrap my head around tomorrow
Don't you feel like you'really permeating the universe
Like a lead weight
Like uranium 238
I get lighter every day
Don't tell me I need a degree
Don't tell me to speak about chemistry
I can feel your mind
Can you feel mine
As my voice wraps around you like a bubble
I don't care if you believe me
I know your cells are listening to me
If you would release your belief
The world wouldn't seem so static and immovable
If you would release your belief
It wouldn't seem so bad that everything is crumbling
Just let it fall let it fall like it's supposed to
Let it fall let it fall like it is meant to be
Let it fall let it fall like it's supposed to
Let it fall let it fall back into place
Don't tell me I need a degree
Don't tell me to speak about chemistry
I don't see anything anything interesting
I don't see anything but god this is so interesting
I don't see anything, my world would be so interesting
If you stopped meeting me on the Astral plane and tooo me out for bubble tea
Don't tell me I need a degree, don't tell me
to speak about chemistry
My world would be so interesting If someone met me on this plane
Just let it fall...

Sleeping perpendicular to the sea
I don't wanna hang out in your parking lot backyard
Cotton candy sky tornado trailing on its side
Skip between my lips
Give me a fucking kiss
I want to be your ice cream apple crisp
Slip between my lips give me a fucjing kiss
I want to be your rock and roll girlfriend
Slip between my lips give me a fucking kiss

Velvet Bethany Buffalo, New York
Balls to the wall rock and roll from Buffalo, NY
Velvet Bethany recommends:
Last Chance Power Drive
by Alpha Hopper
Dark, wild, and primal. My favorite thing to come out this year.

Brown Sugar "Tropical Disease" EP
by Brown Sugar
Would it be too much for me to petition the Sweet Water Pink Boat riff be played at every Bills game into the future as it may accurately translate into a cosmic derivative of "Let's go Buffalo"?

Hunger for a Way Out
by Sweeping Promises
supported by 8 fans who also own “Forever Cool Double Nice”
This album feels eternal, simultaneously feeling like it belongs anywhere and everywhere between the late '70s and today, effortlessly jumping between Devo-esque new wave and '90s indie rock with perfect results. Every single track whips ass. 10/10 AOTY.

Borrowed Floors
by L I T H I C S
supported by 6 fans who also own “Forever Cool Double Nice”
What a fantastic find. Throws all of my love for Wire, Minutemen, The Waitresses, and every other herky-jerky art-punk band, into a blender and comes out better than a kale smoothie. But beyond the nostalgia factor, these are sharp songwriters and arrangements. Excited to see them live tomorrow night!

Classic garage-punk with bluesy swing and plenty of grit from Bad Bad Men.

Sydney group Bloods decamped to Seattle to make this brief, punchy EP that pairs punk attitude with sky-high hooks.
