lyrics

When my blood begins to bubble
That’s when I know that I’m in trouble
(Every time the sun comes up)
What if the white flashes are glimpses into a higher plane—
A heaven for the heated?

No matter when I am I always find it to be true
My body is a temper and I’m driving it home to you
When muscle memory takes the wheel
I lose my grip on what is real
My body is a temper crashing into how you feel

When rage becomes the ritual
All your prayers are scattered
And incense causes cancer
So I guess I’m out of answers

Found myself on r/Anger crying on behalf of strangers
My body is a temper and in this case also a mirror
u/LovelyFlowers called it misguided optimism
And I think that's really interesting, that I found God on Reddit

Just got up to yell at dogs—who does that?
Slammed my thumb into the window
And now we’re all crying
WHERE IS MY GOD NOW
Clearly they’ve logged off
So I burn the incense to cauterize this nonsense

If only there was a better way

She's an amazing artist to share something like this in a way that makes you understand what it was like to live it. The album still breaks my heart but I love listening to it. Put your grown up ears on and empathize. naataq

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
