Firmalino - Dovetailing 04:17
lyrics
Grinding away At the end of the day Yearning it's Driving me Stirring me up Taking a trip Washing my hands again Sending me around the bend What's that noise Oh here i am Ain't doing this for free In a hundred degrees You laugh when I fall Your run when I call Get your hands in the sink Carry it all The big and the small People Driving me Stirring me up Taking a trip Washing my hands again Sending me around the bend Why won't you Dove tail Bellies are full Table's a mess Splash when I fall Back at the sink Washing away Washing away At the end of the day Yearning it's Driving me Stirring me up Taking a trip Washing my hands Washing my hands Washing away

Firmalino - Bite You Back 04:16
lyrics
Pointed fingers You know we are the target On your white sheets Your painted freedoms It's spilling greed And entitlement And everyone beneath you You like to think that I curse you to reflect back Those words you spew And soon it will bite back And soon it will bite back Fear of A playing field equalized No sugar in a dough Its sour and it's shit like Golden wheels stand Trophy of the privilege What's the latest news Those words you spew I curse you to reflect back I curse you to reflect back Those words you spew I curse you to reflect back I curse you to reflect back I curse you to reflect back I curse you to reflect back and soon it will bite you back and soon it will bite you back and soon it will bite you back and soon it will bite you back

Firmalino - Like to Take Your Picture 03:08
lyrics
Used to sing so loud in an empty building Afraid to speak a single word so loud Everyone would turn towards my direction Afraid they'd take this away from me i'm new here, how are you what's your name i try to make you laugh seconds to grab a moment of your life with this glass of mine a silhouette lies can I see your eyes through this glass of mine a silhouette lies trapped within a scene solved all my troubles working with what i have working with what i got under a fake sky taking deep breathes tell time and time i tell them why? a silhouette lies can I see your eyes through this glass of mine

Firmalino - My Trout 03:57
lyrics
Distance hurt Though this has an affect on me Could be wrong Occupied the only way I can be Deal with it I'm dealing with it, dealing it Hear your voice Every day and every night There's so much more than I would like to write Not enough never enough never enough Finally it feels like home Shield me, my trout, in your best ways Lived our lives Following two different paths Converged Thirty years later Reunited hearts Recognized one another Reconnect Fireworks fire when together Here's to that future Here's to holding you close Here's to lazy sundays Here's to everything

Firmalino - Defeated 05:04
lyrics
Defeated i am exhausted And tired I've yet to open my eyes (from this) Morning of AM my alarming light notifications are my sunrise haven't had my medications yet, for breakfast there you are on my stairs Motives unlikely don't fire back (why won't we listen). listen. we say listen but we don't abide done now, shall this continue Shall I see you Did I Interrupt you If you only heard one side you wouldn't understand me anyway If we didn't hurt inside. thick skin from truth and lies could we take this somewhere else. how could you say this all the time this would never ever end. If you only heard one side. Defeated i am exhausted And tired I've yet to open my eyes (from this) Morning of AM my alarming light notifications are my sunrise haven't had my medications yet, for breakfast there you are on my stairs Defeated Defeated Defeated Defeated

Firmalino - Gripping Pen 03:38
lyrics
Blocking it out It's trapping me in Standing in its way It's pushing me over It's calm, it goes It shrinks, it grows it’s all in my head, no, this never shows Blocking it out It's trapping me in Standing in its way It's pushing me over It stays for a while Then leaves with a smile Don’t follow it though it’s not worthwhile I’m holding on Gripping the pen I won’t move on This is not the end Blocking it out Standing it its way Won’t trap me in Won’t push me down Push me down Won't push me down Won't push me down

Firmalino - Ocean Apart 05:15
lyrics
There’s a space between us. It’s hard not to measure. We were horizons and someone’s shiny someday that space from there to now. hibernation. Closed up and folded in half. shut up. And talk to me. We are where we need to be. an ocean apart. I stand here with the ocean between us. an ocean apart an ocean apart In the space between awake and asleep Arms stretch towards me Slow entanglement Years fall away we’re right side up. hibernation. I love how my eyes search your face to find the same thing every time I wait long days to finally look over your shoulder. To to see my locked hands like praying I feel impossible I built my walls so slow for you to tear down. and you can tear them down there's a space between us an ocean apart I stand here with the ocean between us And you can’t swim. There’s a space between us. It’s hard not to measure. We were horizons and someone’s shiny someday that space from there to now. an ocean apart an ocean apart an ocean apart

Firmalino - Bad Vacation 03:08
lyrics
I was sitting at the bar in a lobby With a salesman his name was Bobby Young waitress had cigars from Cuba Bobby's got a voice like a tuba Don't you know those things are illegal? Trust me here, the american eagle. Waitress says you're not in the states. Bobby doesn't get a whole lot of dates. Welcome to the lost city reborn I was walking down a narrow street Young cancuck brand new to the heat Street meat filled the air with flavor Then a dude asked me for a favor Hey sir where you get those shoes? Hey buddy do you need any booze? Hey man do you have any cash? Hey shithead hand it off fast Welcome to the lost city reborn Welcome to the old crown of thorns Now it's time to get on the plane I can barely remember my name Drink wine and get under the weather Beer's good but Lquour is better Club music rings in my ears Gonna come back this time next year. Welcome to the lost city reborn Welcome to the old crown of thorns

Firmalino - All That is Blacking Out 04:31
lyrics
candle light pressed in bottles keeps us occupied at endless nights all that is blacking out a flame burning away pages hard to read from lack of light assignments due by tuesday frozen lines in all the towns sans electric city all that is blacking out but a flame burning away respect yourselves, a radio plays voices keeps us, up to date patience we will ride this out i don't know, save yourselves stove top kerescene prevents us all from hunger stains taste of gasoline why does this happen to me heavy storms hit again forward taking refuge all that is blacking out but a flame burning away

Firmalino - Bleeding Ears 05:43
lyrics
Be my design You're already My dictionary Yet a lot to learn an open book that i read Countiniously No end picture this Nothing is attached We must admit It's clear as mud Whole of anything Its greater than its parts Getstald Profound both loose parts Making watercolor glare I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing It may Be ambiguous, But in fact I told you right It's obvious I see Moving dots Just a walking dog It's logic and wired It don't have to make sense Perceive it in Any another way No end picture this Nothing is attached We must admit It's clear as mud Whole of anything Its greater than its parts Getstald Profound Both loose parts Making watercolor shine I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing along I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing along I hope it makes your ears bleed I hope it makes you sing along Be my design You're already My dictionary Yet a lot to learn An open book that i read Countiniously No end But picture this Nothing is fixed And clear as mud Whole of anything It's greater than its parts Getstald
