BYSTANDER Am I nervous on purpose? To render a service Unelected projected From a camera, infected Got a shoeshine on moonshine One November a bell chimed Am I nervous on purpose? It’s a fact don’t react ‘Til the wolf blows down the door It’s so sad that we have Everything and still want more ‘Til the wolf blows down the door Open Season on reason There’s no truth in the dealing In the corner the reporter’s Making chaos out of order Am I nervous on purpose? It’s a fact don’t react ‘Til the wolf blows down the door It’s so sad that we have Everything and still want more It’s a fact don’t react ‘Til the wolf blows down the door ‘Til the wolf blows down the door Bystander

DESTROY YOU It starts in the morning The night hawk still soaring Bed sheets need washing The radio talking The last thing she said was Don’t go to bed In silence Silence How we going to live this over When we’re through Making do How we going to live this over When we’re through Destroy You Through curtain spills streetlight The slow burn of midnight Elbows and knees touch And somehow it seems just like The last thing she said was Don’t go to bed In silence Silence How we going to live this over When we’re through Making do How we going to live this over When we’re through Destroy you It’s the easiest route to follow Making due Destroy you
3.	It's Not Up To Me 04:46	lyrics	buy track
IT'S NOT UP TO ME Contact the lawyers Tell them not to breathe It’s getting hot outside We’re going to see if we can leave Tie down the branches Pack up the seeds Take all that leaves with you We’re going to see what we can see It’s not up to me To be what you need Run up the hillsides Just make believe Pull up the weeds and make them Safe for us to eat It’s not up to me To be what you need It’s not up to me You get what you see

FRIENDLY FIRE You die of friendly fire We die of friendly fire
5.	Fully Shed (Kevin Hamilton Remix) 06:14	lyrics	buy track
FULLY SHED (KEVIN HAMILTON REMIX) He gets mad when I get drunk Walk around town like a loaded gun But now I'm fully shed And I'm back in bed Highschool kids get stoned Falling in and out of love We were playing dead We were upset Ah, you should let me go just a little bit I'm coming home in just a little bit Standing at the edge of the things I've done Push me off and wake the sun Am I fully shed Are we there yet? Ah, you should let me go just a little bit I'm coming home in just a little bit I wanna know just a little bit I'm gonna let in show and be done with it

His Young Heart EP
by Daughter

supported by 4 fans who also own “Bystander”

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
