Track Name: Peach Boy: And when the time has come will you run off to make your mark?
Your secret lullaby will pull my strings to hurt my pride
I'm wandering off again
You're bored again, so cold again
I'm counting the fingers off my hands

And when I tell you so your lips they smack with tight control
You smoked the rest of me and crushed me on the cracked cement
If you're so bored if you're so grown why don't you run away?
I'm counting the fingers off my hands
Track Name: Ghost: We're out of time
He's breathing in but he's been dead the whole time
I'm looking in
His hollow body couldn't save him from this

Into the ghost, we go

Are you afraid?
I'm not ashamed to feel this way
You always say "a father would never leave his kids he'd stay"
But I'm afraid
You're breathing in but you've been dead the whole time
I'm looking in
Am I too late to see you in the light?

Into the ghost, we go

I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid of me
I'm not afraid to be
Track Name: Next To Me: Can you shake out all your dreams?
Come with a smile on your face
I could take your hand and run
And then we'd fall on the floor

When you're standing at my door you leave me wanting more
But only dreams, I keep them next to me
You've lit a fire inside my bones

Yeah you say you are tough
Narrow eyes when the timing is right
If you think that's enough
Go and wait for the morning light
I'm waiting too long I've had it I want to scream
And fuck being patient I'm fragile I'm not weak

When you're standing at my door you leave me wanting more
But only in my dreams, I keep them next to me
You've lit a fire inside my bones
Track Name: Drown: When you drown
You try your best to float
Death in your eyes
Fingers cold
My dreams have failed
But I can see

If I blink twice
Will you appear?
My love is vast
It fills the air
Track Name: Our Red Door: Sometimes
I speak too loudly
Around you
When I'm far
I'm thinking
When does it end?
Wearing thin
So tired
Remove this cast
I want to see what's real

Sometimes
I see this red door
When I step in
I fall right in
Then I see your red eyes
Your hard skin
Your thin veins
You're bleeding
Saying - "Someday I'll get you out"
Track Name: Unlimited Touch: I think I need a break
My head sticks out of place
I need to take a walk
I'll sleep when morning comes
If I can't breathe under the sheets
I'll be walking over the stars

This fear I hold inside of me
I hide so no one else can see

When I am up I'll sing, I'll dance 'til the sun's up
Hang around with my friends, take us for a ride

I guess we're near the end
I find this hard to begin
I'll think about what's next
And I'll drown in sorrowful bliss
Track Name: Why I Say No: Back when I was young
I thought it was clever
To stand up like my mama
My head up like I mean it

And if I cross my legs
Will I be like the others?
And if I stand up straight
Will I climb, climb, climb?
To the top
Where I'm not

That's why I say no

I guess I'm just insane
Yeah I'm told I've got no brain
If I smile I'll be perfect
Then I'll die with purpose
I'll force my smile
I'll fix my hair
Clean up my house
Shut up right now
I'll think about the good I've done
Say "yes" and breathe when I am done

And if I cross my legs
Will I be like the others?
And if I stand up straight
Will I climb, climb, climb?
To the top
Where I'm not

That's why I say no
Track Name: SLOW: Show me which way to go
Lead me and we'll take it slow
Sneaking in your parents bed
Laughing 'til our faces turn red

Out of control
This pattern
I'm taking deep breaths

Show me which way to go
Lead me and we'll take it slow
Sneaking in your parents bed
Laughing 'til our faces turn red
Sinking 'til I cannot swim
Hold me because I feel so thin

Out of control
This pattern
I'm taking deep breaths

Take it slow, we'll take it slow (don't come back)
Track Name: Turn Into: My shadow disappeared
Been gone for several years
I wait for it's return
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
The mirror creeps on me
Melting suddenly
I forget as time goes by
I wish for a new sign

As long as it is gone
I won't be here for long
My shadow disappeared
Come help me, come save me
Now that you're by my side
Don't leave, don't hurt my pride
You've turned into the sign I've wished for

The light kisses my eyelids
As I take a short breath
I'm coming home

You made my June. I'm not really sure why I love your music so much, but it's just really inspiring that you turned all of these things that happened to you into these jams and ballads. You're brave to process your life and ideas through music and put them out here. I guess many musicians are, but for some reason I didn't really think of it that way until I heard this album. break.light

Soft Sounds From Another Planet
by Japanese Breakfast

supported by 122 fans who also own “Turn Into”

Coming to the show a bit late here, honestly, when I saw Michelle on KEXP you-tube, I was taken away, that voice.. Diving woman is my favorite track, it has the intensity of Slowdive & the bass+drums really remind me of MetalBox & Flowers of Romance by Public Image Limited. Lyrically,I love the concepts and the warmth of sentiment, some searing truths written in an accessibility, its giving me a doorway to understanding her generation. irq506

In this pretty rough point in history, I feel like Mitski embodies all the doom and yearning our generation's going through all too accurately. It's a potent feeling to know that someone else out there understands. daveyhames
