lyrics
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
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

supported by 4 fans who also own “It's Not Up To Me”
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.
