trentongarage I love all the unique noises with beautiful lyrics. Ness Lake never disappoints. Thank you for this Favorite track: when you think of me.

Travis Anderson Chandler has long been one of my favorite songwriters, but I think this album is an envoy for what's to come, not to mention some of his best writing to date. The tracks carry a sonic and emotional payload that is equal parts devastating and cathartic. Well fucking done ch&. I'll keep leaning in <3 Favorite track: i lean in to hear you sing.

jimble What I like a lot about Ness Lake's music is hearing weird noises that sound good, and this album delivers. The little "wah wah" in the beginning of ILITHYS has good company in the sounds of Blank Check and When God Made Love. Really great, contemplative music. Also love the album art on this! I feel like it fits the sound well. Favorite track: when god made love.

In a different dimension I’m secure unaffected By the transience of my teeth Crooked and tangled My mouth at an angle I smile to love and not to deceive I wake up today now I put on my best shirts I want you to see I am not overcome with The feeling my fear of nothing Is it so hard to fall out the plane? And the plummeting Hearts to the ground They can both splat Aim for the water Yeah i’m cool with that Just lead with your feet Dancing with me Sway round the room I lean in to hear you sing I want to feel perfect not only in your eyes Time flies, it bites, i itch, all of this despite Everyone I’ve ever loved Tasted poison turned to doves Twelve gauge skeet shot Won’t you stay? Knives on the wall, you can have my face Forever’s a sad day in my life Garden grows and starts to die Plant more seeds, I gotta try To trim back the green, forest for trees I saw those sticks You know what I mean Perennial love yeah come back to me Leaves die, snow falls, I’ll see you in spring Lead with your feet dancing with me Sway round the room I lean in to hear you sing I lean in to hear you sing

hotel hell 02:18
There’s not enough tissue inside my house I miss you more than you can find out Straw-graspin’ at the leash of my heart, dog’s runnin’ down the street can’t cry now Made the mistake called love a garden, implied that you’re an inanimate object It takes two to grow in tandem, green thumb sucker, I can’t stand him Love’s a mistake I make when I feel alone I fall the same way, I’m needing something more It’s not enough to pay myself, king mattress in hotel hell, there’s room for two Convince you, it’s the best thing to do There’s not enough fight left in your corner, I’m glad we didn’t meet when I was younger I knew less than I do now, but it’s not much, I’m finding out Two tickets yeah, love eternal, combination desperate and feral Calling animal control, I writhe, foam at the mouth, and fold Love’s a mistake I make when I feel alone I fall the same way, I’m needing something more It’s not enough to pay myself, king mattress in hotel hell, there’s room for two Convince you, it’s the best thing to do

Identical cling if you know what I mean Magnet letter stories say more than they seem Describe myself So many words Does loneliness actually hurt? Or is it fear of falling out? Oh to hold onto your love Butterfly net, wrangling doves I chase more than anybody else does Candid pleasure, feeling good the one thing i regret In the morning, i reach over to my left In my mourning, piece missing inside my head Sleep alone now, guess it’s better now than then I guess it’s better now than then We can become barely friends There’s aspartame in chewing gum You steep your pace and turn to run As far away as you can from Proximal love long gone The clenching of jaws Unfurling of fists The thought that you thought that you could resist The bearing of arms, so close to your hip Companionship you can resist Candid pleasure, feeling good the one thing i regret In the morning, i reach over to my left In my mourning, piece missing inside my head Sleep alone now, guess it’s better now than then I guess it’s better now than then We can become barely friends

blank check 01:39
Blank check love, signed “yours truly” Memo line reads “use whenever yeah any time” You can take what you need I’m empty Overdrafting, lusting, longing Eyes meet, well up Tension building in my head Heart gone Feeling like you already left Savoring the moment Insecure and I know it No pressure onto what we share I like the seconds spinning hair We watch TV we lay around A perfect time I’m glad you’re down Blank check love, signed “yours truly” Memo line reads “use whenever yeah any time” You can take what you need I’m empty Overdrafting, lusting, longing Eyes meet, well up Tension building in my head Heart gone Feeling like you already left Savoring the moment Insecure and I know it No pressure onto what we share I like the seconds spinning hair We watch TV we lay around A perfect time I’m glad you’re down

She came running in the room like she had something to say. Stared at the wall then looked at me, saw my face then looked away. Don’t wanna say I told you so. Know it’s better that I’m someone that you used to hold. Growing pains, learn what you want, get scratched up falling in the streets we walked on. We walked on We walked on We walked on Caution met the wind and fluttered in the air. If I wasn’t holding you I’d swear you weren’t there. Or I’m not here? Emptied out my heart. Spent my gas revving tires, I hate this car. Face flushed, car’s parked, look for me and I’m gone. Touching face with you like you’re the only one sharing heat with me out in the summer sun all these other cars are empty, tangled up beside me.

I need love like I need blood but it’s not yours I’m spilling out I feel faint I fade away, you don’t need me now or say you say, I’m not enough I hate that taste All the effort can’t make you stay In my bed we curled up Flowers fall onto the ground Wrapped my stem around you It confounds too Watch you go through the door Closed twice, a heavy room Made the first and last move And the last move It’s my fault I shoulda known When god made love she made alone Pet my cat just one last time Said take care of him until he’s fine She tensed up starts to bite keeps you here by your skin I’ll never feel again, relishing in skin I lost it Worshiped the ground you walked on Waxing agnostic Losing love I lost myself Embellished, crossed, and counted out Transaction love can’t hold me now Tokens from a restless night I can fight for it if you wanna hold me tight One more time One more time One more time One more time One more time One more It’s my fault I shoulda known When god made love she made alone

the blossom is only as big as the drops of the gardeners sweat you lend and you lend hoping life can pay back its debts neither lender nor borrower be lose your friends and your memories IOUs sticky notes in my brain owe it to myself license to change reach out to the sunlight pushing through the broken blinds conditions must be right or prepare for things to die prepare for things to die prepare for things to die prepare for things to die i wanna marry the moon i hope that she marries me too

Rocks splashing through glass, rippling with cracks It’s better than mirrors Move into my daytime Stick to my guns always stay fine They fire gunpowder Blasting in the air Shooting at the sun They gotta fall down When will one drop On me dancing It’s perfect, ironic, and discreet I’m gone now, except when you think of me
