Stalling 03:28
If it made sense, I could meet me where I stood Try not to bend, try not to sway, I know I would And if you hear me crying in the stall next to yours I'm not crying at all If it made sense, I could meet me where I stood (Crawl out of my skin, jump back in) Try not to bend, try not to sway, I know I would (Crawl out of my skin, wide open, jump back in) And if you hear me crying in the stall next to yours I'm not crying at all

Detention 03:44
When everything is said and done I'll see you in detention When everyone is floating 'round I'll catch you on the way down I don't know what you're getting into But I know that I'm getting in too When everything is said and done I'll see you in detention My shadow is a friend of mine I keep him on the inside My feelings are a waste of time I drown them in the low tide

Quiet Wire 03:40
I believe I am the future But I know I am a fool I believe I am a hero But I know I am uncool Next stop, on my way home, I I know, I can't control my Everything that crosses through my mind Get off, out of the door, right I don't get me, and so I Never mind what's all inside If I'm quiet through the wire I'll completely disappear If I loudly shout the answer I'll regret I'm even here Oh no, let go, I need you Stop me, get me, believe you Heaven knows how much is left alive Calm down, get this repeated Who knows how I defeat this Everything that counts is out of sight

Sometimes I feel the dread of why (Every time I climb) Every time I climb the limb I'm like (Every time I climb) I knew what I wanted to be but I couldn't find a way out I've always wanted what was mine (Every time I climb) I reached out, fell down, got back in line (Every time I climb)

Condor 02:13
I don't know why I go Anywhere the wind blows And I don't know where to go I don't know Why do I live here again now And why do I look to move around It's never enough On my way back home Why do I live here again now It's never enough And why do I look to move around It's never enough It's never enough It's never enough It's never enough It's never enough

Don't you hover above my shoulder Would you quit sinking into my gut How do I get a restraining order All I have to do is run, run, run, run, run, run, run Don't you creep me out with a whisper Would you please pull me out of this rut How do I wash off all of this glitter All I have to do is run, run, run, run, run, run, run All I have to do is run, run, run, run, run, run, run Yeah, all I have to do is run, run, run, run, run, run, run Everything is blurry Every time you hurry

Lean Against 03:51
Everything that's good is bad for you, sorry to say You're a freak and you've begun to slowly decay I don't wanna stand up straight, I wanna lean against a wall Do you wanna live a normal life at all Everywhere you go, I know it's an island to me But I got a window so it's no mystery I don't wanna go outside, I can see just fine from inside here But do I wanna live like this for another year Do you wanna live a normal life at all
8.
Turn Around 03:32
Someday you're gonna have to crawl home All day, wearing all your dirty clothes But I need you to lead the way (I know the way) I feel like you know the way (I knew it all along) And I know that I'm not awake

about

"Layers of vocals are big on here, and with her use of synths and drums in an almost hypnotic way, Smoke In The Elevator evokes comparisons to Visions but only to a point. Use of flute and horns in tracks like “Pure Obsessional” and the near-literal soaring in “Condor” (video by Paul Baribeau) all give Bobo their own land. A place for it’s own, but still in arms reach of her last." -Tiny Mix Tapes
