lyrics

Your mom and dad should be so happy.
You got a job and you're out of town.
You made new friends who feel so lucky
they folded up their paper arms,

and selfishness it steams your coffee
while gutter punks in street lamps dance.

and you won't be sad at all.

You see it's over my friends, the end is here.

You lie all the time.
Why even talk? Why are you here?
What have you done?
Why don't you stop?
Why won't you just keep quiet?

I'm tired of this.
The credit reports
stacked on my desk.
All over my house
right in my bed
why would you keep on lying.

I hate the way we live like machines
the sexless routine
it's all over town
what have you done
why do we just keep trying.

You better not call him again.
It's all over town.
It's always my fault.
You better leave.
You better just keep quiet.

about

ithica Tulsa, Oklahoma

"Ithica presents a sprawling sonic dream scape of shimmering electro-pop that recalls M83, The Postal Service and TV on the Radio. It’s an ambitious blend of electronica and organic instrumentation that’s ethereal, emotional... It’s pop on a grand scale, but it still manages to retain the intimacy of a folk artist’s labor of love."
