Good morning it’s been a while since I have seen your face
it’s not really bad, it wasn’t a complaint
It’s not a competition and we’re not keeping score
But if it was I would have been winning until this morning.
Normative, formative, say you love me more than this
Shave your head above your ears and tattoo femurs on your shins
Guess it’s fine, work ‘til 9 leave at 7:55
call your boss and tell him that you need some rest to stay alive
Biotin, Coq10, take a multivitamin
I’m so high I don’t know where my favorite water bottle is!
I’ll just be around here, also I just saw you sneer
So glad that it took you so long to reappear
I sit in a room watching TV
I’m not in the mood to be angry
and I don’t want to see you
I don’t want to see you
sit in a room like you belong here
It’s my fault too
I should have been clear
harborage from your shit, thought you loved more than this
I just want to stay alive and stay out of the garbage.

Lyrics by Teresa Russo
Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
