TINY EMPIRES
WEIRD HEADSPACE

Although this is Tiny Empires' first release, you might recognize Eric Solomon and the members of New Bruises from the final incarnation of O Pioneers! However, the new name has given these dudes a fresh start and that new life bleeds throughout Weird Headspace. Super thick and heavy punk rock for kids who miss Archers of Loaf, Hum and all other rough and melodic dope shit.

Wide Open Spaces

move closer
to the places that you want to be
stop making
Stop making excuses

move closer
to the places that you want to be
stop making excuses
and move closer to me

just move closer to me

What's The Plan, Phil?

Everything is broken yet nothing really hurts
everything is fine, why the fuck don't i feel fine
and i’m not sure, what’s really going on
i know i’m not ok, i know i’m ok.

and every bone in my body
is slowly weakening
watch me fall apart

priorities are shifting
i think my attitude has gone from great to worse
i'm not being down, i'm just being realistic
i know i’m not ok, i know we all fall apart
watch me fall apart
watch me breakdown
watch me fall apart
watch my bones crumble now
everybody dies, you can watch me fall apart

Just Imagine

what's the point
i'm giving up
i'm fucking tired of talking about this
i'm fucking tired of giving in
what you need i couldn't know
if you decide will you tell me so
i can try but you made this hard
i tried but you made this impossible
that's when i give up

Tired Hearts and Livers

Im tired
Its over

What could I say when the path has changed, no way to navigate

What could I do the exercise to prove your right

Maybe I've held back way to long, there are things that I should have said for years now
I'm growing older and I'm getting tired I just want this headache to just disappear now

I have bitten my tongue and bloodied my teeth I can talk no more, my jaws growing weak and
There is no way to stop myself I feel it pouring out, pouring out, pouring out

What could I say, What could I do?

Air Condtioning, Full Blast

When I get angry
i'm gonna sneak into your house
and steal your air conditioning unit
tear it right from your wall, watch you sweat
i'd bet you'd be miserable, just like me

i want to watch you, come undone
watch you start to fall apart because
i'm tired of being the only one
fucking grounded around here

When i'm upset
i start to seethe
gonna kill all your lights
like a surge of electricity
watch you trip, watch you stumble watch you fall
over table tops, and counters space, and miss all your curtain calls
maybe then i'll turn on all the faucets in your house
let the water start to bleed on right out
watch it as the waves start to swell,
overflow, let it all spill
you'll be seething, like me
but you'll be trying not to drown, trying just to calm yourself down
just calm down cause this is what its like to talk to you, to talk to you

and maybe i don't have the best intentions
but right now i just don't care
right now i don't have the best intentions
but maybe someday, somehow it will come back to me

i want to watch you come undone
I wanna watch you start to fall apart because
i'm tired of being the only one fucking
grounded around here

Blurry Photos, Dead Leaves, Decomposed

you look like someone
that I used to know
a picture, of a postcard, of a portrait,

and your face is fuzzy,
i can no longer remember your name

it is fuzzy reminder of something this used to be
just like dead leaves you were dying and changing

and your face is fuzzy
no one wants to die alone
____________________________________

Some afternoons
you don't want to hear
the world will spin without you

Some afternoons
you just want to be
a body laying face down

and as i drift away
collecting dead leaves and debris
animals make their homes inside me

my bloated skin takes it all in
the sun is still shining and i'm floating

here we are, take what you need

My head is no longer attached to my body

without a sound, leave with me

the world keeps on moving without me
so repurpose my body
Break down my bones, tear my muscles apart, rot my skin
remove my flesh
repurpose my body

here we are, take what you need

and I'm floating

without a sound,

My head is no longer attached to my body

leave with me

repurpose my body
____________________________________

We can no longer just exist
We expire so deal with this
These leaves will dies, still you bide your time
The body craves for what it can not resist

Nobody wants to die alone
even when you're burnt out on the people that you love
i know my hearts still beating the world is still spinning
even dead bodies change
Nobody wants to die alone

even with my head detached from my body
my stopped heart already knows
someday i will die alone, no one wants to die alone
dear friends, please remember me
