Head full of thoughts Stomach in knots Wound like a clock Feeling worn just like a watch Her hands were shot Making the plot Holes in the walls Before the ship has left the dock Accomplice was caught There on the spot Tied to a rock Down below the water’s edge Darkened water Future plotter Oceans daughter Always calling Float through the locks Stomach in knots Tide at your back Up above the water’s edge I am just a sign I am just a sign…. Darkened water Future plotter Oceans daughter

Dead end groove, feet on the floor Another day, routine malaise Sun is up, drink from the cup Paying the rent, parking ticket Long is the day, long is the night Just quarter with no end in sight Dead end groove, Dead end groove Gotta be a better record to chose Having to wait, taking the train, Running through the airport to make the plane Daniel Daniel, I’m Daniel too How many Daniel’s are in this room? The product is made, we’re packaging The client is happy but I’m suffering I want something outside of fear Bring me back to the source to see Let me go and let me be Dead end groove, head on the floor Shut the fuck up, work to the core Changing it up, filling my cup With a runner’s high, windin through my mind Feeling wild, moving free Outta breath, cannot breathe Long is the day, long is the night Not a mother fucking end in sight Another’s eyes seen from mine In different lines of rank and file Let me go and let be

I pulled up to the site at the cemetery Just to watch your body leave If there’s a god in Amarillo, Texas surely they are fucking with me It’s depressing, just the thought Of being dead at 43 But I can find, another life There’s still a home for me But you didn’t wanna stay But you didn’t wanna stay But you didn’t wanna stay Now all that’s left are memories If I pulled up in a brand new Mercedes Would you still recognize me? Now all the money that I could gather never would follow me It’s depressing just thought Of being rich at 23 It’s depressing, just the thought You didn’t recognize me But I can find, another life There’s still a home for me

Amarillo 02:07
We are looking at how to pronounce the name of the city in the US state of Texas The name itself means, yellow in Spanish Go to sleep, go to sleep In Spanish this word would be said as Amarillo, or amarillo, from Spanish, amarillo, or amarillo, amarillo, or amarillo Although this town is usually pronounced, the name of this town as amarillo, or amarillo, amarillo, or amarillo Go to sleep, go to sleep Amarillo is how it is said in Texas, Amarillo is how it is said in Texas, amarillo from Spanish amarillo

Oh my shadow you're way up high I can see you for miles and miles But oh my shadow, oh my shadow Oh my shadow, oh my shadow On the way, holiday with you Oh my love all that I desire I can see you for miles and miles Oh my shadow, oh my shadow On the way, holiday with you

Struck a match, in my pocket Lights pants, strike and toss it I can’t, seem to stop it Caught, fire, out of options No no no no no no no Pack of smokes, in my pocket Part of, my new process No no no no no no no House filled with rain, floating away Memories fade, faces remain But I still got it, in my pocket Don’t look twice, ceiling’s falling Two hands, interlocking House filled with rain, floating away Memories fade, faces remain But I still got it in my pocket

With My Girl 04:19
Is it too late to meet you at your place? I couldn’t by the smile on my face When I am with you there’s no sense of time Is this a daydream I cannot define? I couldn’t be any more free than when I’m with… You fell asleep while we watched the tv How long do we have to keep this discrete? tucked in your warmth, I stayed awake The weight of tomorrow, it dissipates With my girl With my girl With my girl With my girl You poked my wrist with needle and ink I’m caught in this moment with no thought to think Stuck at the airport, our flights been delayed Can’t find a reason that I should complain It’s been a long road but I want you to know I thought this desire would leave me in time I fell in love with the idea that I could provide I know that someone could never be “mine” I’d fallen in love with the idea that I’m alive With my girl With my girl You’re warm and sunny Your sweet and sour Your laugh is money Hair so wild

Water's Edge 04:28
Morning paper, soggy neighbor, waving hands at me Dark winds blowing, cats are crowing, it’s all coming down We were there, eyes dilated - waiting for our brain to make sense of our current state And put us into place Right at the water's edge In the darkness, I was always followed by a sunset The lens had shifted faster blurring out of focus The walls, inside and out, inside and out, it’s turning The light, cast a shape, just before sunrise Right at the water’s edge there was a low supply, a hall of light, no shot in sight A hole of light Taxi driver, kink provider, don’t you look away Foggy windows, a crescendo, house in disarray Morning paper, soggy neighbor, waving hands at me Dark winds blowing, cats are crowing, it’s all coming down Right at the water’s edge we felt the helpless strife, the loss of life, a hall of light

I sat cross-legged looking at the door I watched your shadow move across the floor At 1 o’clock, I left the show The thought in my head, no place to go It’s never as it was A momentary crush It all just turns to rust A solitary buzz I walked alone to an empty gate The air was still, my timing never great Bright colored lights, they startled me Black dots in my sight lingering It’s never as it was A momentary crush It all just turns to rust A solitary buzz
10.
I’m on the outside looking in A veil of nausea, spirals within Left in the throes, still wondering If you say what you need, not just to plead Say what you wanna say Be what you wanna be You wrote a riddle, it’s stuck in my head We play a game, should be sleeping instead There lies a tangled thickness of thread If you say what you need, not just to plead Say what you wanna say Be what you wanna be

about

Packaging's debut album "Packaging" fuses psychedelic textures, krautrock chug, electronic grandeur, tuneful accessibility, and just a little bit of bristling self-awareness.
