lyrics
Falling Off
He really gone and lost the touch
He ain't even close
Do I still hold that space up on your mantle?
Falling Off
He really gone and lost the touch - he ain't even close
I keep doing it the only way I know how
Sitting here comfortable
Making sure it ain't overkill
Let's not change that thing that isn't broke
My fingers left the pulse
On a door that I can't close
Nobody knows if nobody knows
No orange aura for me
My Haze is civilian
I'm happy dreaming bout little things
Down with the little people
Falling Off
He really gone and lost the touch
He ain't even close
Your down down down down
He ain't even close
Can I stake my claim
Before I lose my name?
Cause I already lost my mind yeah
Ain't what you want to hear
Let's talk it out until it's crystal clear
It's only down from here
He's falling off
Falling off
Falling off now
He's falling off
Falling off
Falling off now
No orange aura for me
My haze is civilian
Empty beacon
The forest won't hear my clap
Now I'm stuck in a death trap
I'm happy dreaming bout little things
Down with the little people
He really gone and lost the touch
He ain't even close
Do I still hold that space up on your mantle?
Falling Off
He really gone and lost the touch - he ain't even close
I keep doing it the only way I know how
Sitting here comfortable
Making sure it ain't overkill
Let's not change that thing that isn't broke
My fingers left the pulse
On a door that I can't close
Nobody knows if nobody knows
No orange aura for me
My Haze is civilian
I'm happy dreaming bout little things
Down with the little people
Falling Off
He really gone and lost the touch
He ain't even close
Your down down down down
He ain't even close
Can I stake my claim
Before I lose my name?
Cause I already lost my mind yeah
Ain't what you want to hear
Let's talk it out until it's crystal clear
It's only down from here
He's falling off
Falling off
Falling off now
He's falling off
Falling off
Falling off now
No orange aura for me
My haze is civilian
Empty beacon
The forest won't hear my clap
Now I'm stuck in a death trap
I'm happy dreaming bout little things
Down with the little people

Can't wait to hear the next albums in Troy's 10 albums / 10 genres / 10 years gauntlet. After giving this album a thorough listen 3 times through, I had to buy his discography so far. I defy anyone to listen to track #1: "Shake that skinny ass" without finding their foot tapping. Check yo pulse if it doesn't - odds are your soul has completely shuffled off its mortal coil!

Forthright indie rock free of trickery; just gravelly hooks, high energy, and heart-on-sleeve lyricism.
