Commotion 02:41
Feel the commotion fade away Stillness and motion always stay It happens all the time, motion blur surround my distant mind Slow erosion opens lines to another time I love it when you say you'd never let things get this way Oh no, is that so?
2.
Sleep deprived, driving home from your parents' house Jelly mind, still in a fight that we memorized Bearded dude, reaching a thumb with an attitude Thinking back, I should've known when he never asked where I was headed to He stumbled in right off the highway shoulder I'm craving rest but I needed him to get home tonight We drove for hours on end He was a hundred miles from anywhere He offered me sour wine in a travel mug He said son you'll see There ain't no use catching a lightning bug I tried just a sip and the wheel started slipping away from me It tasted like a second chance, a vision of a more complete romance Where you resurrected me We drifted off the road He said, let me off anywhere
3.
Wade in But wait until it rains in Take off your shoes and dive in Let go I don't know why I'd want to Hold on to thoughts I've borrowed Wait until my mind is empty And fill it with your flesh and bone I will drink your morning coffee As you ride the train home
4.
Alliteration 04:02
5.
Coronation 06:52
6.
Alone on my atoll An earth in space spun averse Sand & sun won't return Alone, still writhing nerve Mama don't look around, maybe we'll make it out The sun, confused, broke the ground Maybe we'll make it out

about

You Want Milk's ferally syncopated grooves find their first expression in Pretty Colors to Paint a Waterfall. The culmination of a year of wanting milk and doing their darndest to wring it out of their instruments and into the aural plane, You Want Milk have painted this waterfall a succulent mix of mathy and groovy, chill and heavy, vibrant and subdued. Kneel down by the river and lap up the waves.
