Hands through my hair.
There's sun for you there.
I wanna go back to bed.
You said it would rain.
You know nothing's changed.
I wanna go back to bed.
Leave me inside.
Like I would mind.
I wanna go back to bed.

When you're tired,
go home,
be shown.
You know,
I shouldn't have to tell you, but I do
You get bored.
Go to the video store.
Find the room
where you said
"I shouldn't have to tell you, but I do"
When you're stoned,
go home,
be alone. You know,
I shouldn't have to tell you, but I do

Some dark drive
miles from anything.
Total night.
Sorry sparrows ring.
Bored of black,
but it pulls you back to me.
Your lack of tact;
bare it beautifully.
I get lost walking to your house.
We all get bored.
We all get weirded out.
Bored of black.
It's just more immaculate.
Your lack of tact.
I wound up attached to it.
I get lost walking to your house.
We all get bored.
We all get weirded out.

I should probably call it by a different name.
I forget why I came here.
I could learn to take advice if you do the same.
Go get back on the train, dear.
I have been a poor mother to my shame.
I'm buried while I lay here.
I could be a better father to the game, so I will take the blame, dear.
Don't you know?
You could just float about.
There ain't much left to do without.
It's all in a bag in your bedroom.
I think that your ride will be here soon.
You know I can't be the one
blocking out everyone's sun.
I just grow tired in time.
I can't find a shadow to shine on.
I could be a better father to the game.
I'm buried while I lay here.

My Mouth

Walking home
the first time.
Your fingers in my mouth
the first time.
My Heaven's hexed
the first time.
I am my own full moon
in dim light.
Corridors
the first time.
Diamond mind
the first time.
You won't find me in your room.
I'm too stoned to leave my tomb.
I'm too scared to leave the womb.

I am golden.
I am stoned and walking home.
I was holding.
I had sold my stupid soul.
I go to sleep at the car wash.
I go to sleep at the mall.
I get so tired of the timing.
I get so bored of it all.
I am veiled.
I am forming.

I go to your house.
I pull demons out.
I get stoned when
I go home and
I am plagued with doubt.
Night out on the town.
I talk way too loud.
How will I know when you come home and
will I be around?
Oh god, what a night.
Won't you fill me with light?
I am freaking out.
I am coming down.

I pick up the phone.
You say, "It can be hard on your own."
Have you made your home?
I'm tired and I wanna be shown.
I've been reckoning with reason.
I've been searching for gold.
Have you sold your soul?
I'm wondering and I wanna be told.
I try and hold my breath.
That song bores me to death.
"Have you made your home mine?"
"Can't we just have a good time?"

I am cryptic.
Young dumb mystic.
I'm the bubblegum beneath the table.
I am see through
when you walk through.
You are wise and I am able.
I am just right.
I'm no nightlight.
I'm as bright as I am fabled.
I am see through
when you shine through.
I'm wild horses in the stable.
I sang the hit song all wrong.
Come and find me.
Drag me onto the lawn.
I sang the hit song all wrong.
Come and find me.
I'm right where I belong.

After Halloween Slump
03:07
|

|
We parked the car right
outside the woods we roam.
We walked for three whole weeks
all from the hell we've known.
Have we found peace here?
Are you my morning mirror?
We slept for three whole days
to rest from our pity; prepare for the city.
I'm all nerves down to my toes.
Whatever you say goes.
You speak alien in tone.
Whatever you say goes.
I have marks from the night before.
I lie on my wooden floor.
You left that haunted ring.
It is something to sing to.

Dresses

I have pictures that show me in short hair.
I have pictures of you.
I wrote poems to you from my bedroom.
I wrote no one for years.
I've seen dresses in storefronts.
I've grown tired of the hunt.
I've had visions of kids in the front yard.
I've had visions of death.
I've seen sleep through a blanket of white noise.
I've seen dresses on you.

Put your book away.
Let's just go to sleep.
We'll set sail in the morning.
Have you made your mind
in this cave of mine?
If you don't mind my asking.
Open windows let the leaves in.
We clear our thoughts while we think of it.
Pace the lake and let the fog in.
Quiet time is not for talking.
Honeylimbs,
you'd want to raise when it rains.
Beneath the dirt
and all the untamed,
I hear your roar;
your cowardly bark.
It left me lost on how it left its mark.

This is album is like nothing I've ever heard. I love how the dissonance turns into cohesion and then proceeds to flow between the two. The jazziness of it, the tenderness of it, the lightheartedness of the sound in places...it really astounds me. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again.

This was one of the first albums to introduce me to indie music/bedroom pop so it has a special place in my heart.

In the tender intersection of indie rock and country/folk sits this album of quiet power from Chicago's Jodi.
