Talk 02:39
Your brain has got me all wound up Like your dog when you show him the leash I can't even speak when I'm around you When I open up my mouth all that comes out are things You already seem to know And I'm hoping you don't mind Please let me feel your mind Waiting for the moment when I can grab your spine and pull you into me I hope you understand where I'm coming from Because I've raced passed the passed three months Just to be with your nose at the finish line Can we please share the prize? I don't wanna move I just wanna sit here Listening to the sound of Your muffled car stereo Everything is lo-fi a secret hi-five honestly means A lot more to me than you know And I'm hoping that you don't let me go Eyes that match mine When the times right Is just something I could never get by Blue and green Green and gray I don't care as long as you stay.

Battlescars 02:17
I dream of dirt-caked hands Battle scars and knives Fingernails that won't grow passed the bone And glossy dead gray eyes When I wake it's just a bottle Sitting on a barren night stand And this headache's not so subtle It's very unforgiving And I see my father's genes Stumbling around inside my jeans Why didn't I get his heart I only got his disease I wish I had a fucking heart I'd kill for a fucking heart I've grown up in steadily shrinking family Who follow frantically to the farm to die My back aches My hands shake Other man's hands that have bled for decades Who've started to decay Since the day They earned their Christian names They're all the same Saying "shame on me" Sobbing in their alcoholic dreams Worry wort we all die We all have pain We all have homes We all know someone Who lives under a tombstone Did they grow? I don't know I don't go to school I observe. I serve servants serving serfs surfing on our sacrifice That suffices all prior requirements to survive.

Overrated 01:42
Acetaminophen is sweet as cinnamon Swimming insanity inside my brain A human without some pills Is like a fish born without gills There's a party down the street Everyone's gonna be there. I know nothing that's so overrated.

I was reaching for a hand that suffers from phantom limb It's been cut off for three months now Everyone stares at her now... March 26th won't mean shit now you're gone You've been gone since you stopped wearing glasses And working hard for that "Missed Connection" Do you miss our connection? You know prayers aren't true every time someone says, "God forbid something bad happens to you."

It multiplies in a matter of nights Cells divide and open their eyes As I grow wings, though my bleeding lungs Clog my throat and I'm left undone I wake up in a cold, cold sweat Very jealous and upset Too weak to stand so I piss my bed I sleep less than I have bled It happens again in a pre-dawn twilight Hollow screams and eyeless children Why do they want them and not me? Can't they see that I'm the one who bleeds? I could have told you all of this before I chose to ignore it, slam my foot in the door I chose to ignore it, nail my foot to the floor I chose to ignore it, beat myself like a whore

Dweeb II 01:33

All of the spots that I was once acquainted with Got torn down by businesses And the rubble lies there Lies there at my feet But they aren't done yet So take a seat Kids keep crawling from underneath So when I got the chance I went ahead and took a peek All I saw were zipped up lips and people tripping It just kills them I always pull my socks up to my knees Because at any moment you could be that deep I think myself awake each and every night I am never right. God please let me sleep. I thought they knew that poison poisons But they draw back to the same old notions And they irony of that has always killed me And to tell a joke takes bravery So to cope with the mess I laugh in the mirror and if the Sun sets tonight then it's just a day nearer To a time when respect is expect Not neglected or subjective.

Remember when I didn't call you by your name Well that was six beers ago So now things have changed And I don't feel quite the same You don't like my sixth sense of humor Though I try to make it all clever Your eyes made it clear that your words Were the cleavers Are you okay? I hear rose-eyed road rats Talking bullshit beautiful They inhale dust just like it were A goddamn miracle So if you think That you have This great thing now You're still on this great big noun Just a thing Full of people and places Will all the same shithead faces And all the same shithead statements Thought it was a gas when you Turned into a ghost I choked on that gas I need you Like a parasite needs a host

Somedays 06:28
Goddamn I am all the things I hate some days I'm really nothing special Just a rebel with the common cold On the run from something or nothing Not trying to break any mold You think you've got something great and it turns to gripe All goals are out of site Our past proves how quickly the future is coming So where am I actually?

about

"Shadowball" was recorded and mixed in June and July of 2013 by Laces Out on recently acquired equipment which they underutilized. It was a learning experience full of ups and downs, but the result is satisfactory. All songs written by Laces Out from 2008-2013. "A Greater Portland" appeared as "Portland" on "Where I Grew Up," and "Battlescars," "Dweeb," and "Somedays" appeared on a 2011 demo, the title of which none of the three members of Laces Out agrees on.
