Manticore Academy

[bamfed]

I put up another new song on my band page. The new song is called "Table of Contents" and I wrote and recorded the whole thing last night/this morning. Justin also mixed "Everyeverywhere" and added some background vocals, so you may want to check that out as well, because it sounds all spiff now.

So, in case nobody noticed I'm recording a lot more lately. I'm going to try to get an EP finished soon. I've decided to call it Manticore Academy, because I dunno, they're underrepresented as far as mythological creatures go? Plus they shouldn't be excluded from the education system just because they're a manimal.


I'm at a loss for words
But I've lost worse than that
I've lost perspective, lost my mind, and lost my cat
I lost my self-esteem, my stomach, and my voice.
I gave up my free will but I didn't have a choice.

And yes, I'm dumber than I look
I'd do it all again
I'm an open book
Please just ignore the end
And you're giving me a look
Like you're giving me a chance
I think I'll fuck this up
'Cause I think I'll risk romance
There's damage on my spine
And my jacket is in shreds
But I'm the perfect size
To snuggle with in bed
So don't give it a thought
'Cause then you'd change your mind
Just close your eyes and jump
We both know love is blind

We'll drive to Vegas on a weekend
And find a chapel just our size
And we could dress up like we are cowboys
Or aliens with hexagonal eyes
And maybe we could have some children
Or maybe we could have some sense
And don't forget that picket fence.

And yes, I'm dumber than I look
I'm doing it again
I'm reading you this book
And telling you the end
We both go down in flames
It all ends in disaster
That's as close as we will get
To "Happily Ever After"
