I’m trying to be
Something from nothing
Are you proud of me?
When it’s late night I’m wiping
The diner seat
And the bell on the door’s ringing
Over and over
In a minor key
And I’m looking for something
In the faces of these
Pictures that hang like
Abandoned keys
To a world that I’ve dreamed of
But I’ve never seen
With my own eyes I’m tired
And I’m starting to lean
Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own
It’s getting hard and it gets harder
You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more
And then you might have gotten farther
You’re such a disease
You’re dressing for sunday
It’s a hundred degrees
There’s a jam on the freeway
And the city sleaze
Is gonna sell you a new dream
For the price of a knee
In your back til you’re working
At 63
And you try to remember
All the dreams you let die
Getting drunk on the weekends
While life you passes by
And all the people that you see
Out the window below
Are praying hard for a break
Before the end of the show
Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own
It’s getting hard and it gets harder
You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more
And then you might have gotten farther
You didn’t make it on tv
Or learn how to drive
And it takes almost dying
To make you feel alive
And you’re overdrafts growing
Some limbs of it’s own
And the workday is endless
And you wanna go home
To the couch that remembers
The shape of your thighs
And you watch as your friends
Lose the fight in their eyes
When the target’s so small
You know it’s easy to miss
I guess it’s ok to fail when
Everyone else is
Best believe that life is only what you make it on your own
It’s getting hard and it gets harder
You walk it back and think that maybe you should have done something more
And then you might have gotten farther
I’m trying to be
Something from nothing
Are you proud of me?
When it’s late night I’m wiping
The diner seat
And the bell on the door’s ringing
Over and over
In a minor key

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr

The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
Post-punk in the Sonic Youth mold—melody covered by creeping fuzz, anchored by architectural rhythms, with lyrics both abstract and direct. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 5, 2019
