i can't smell a cigarette without thinking of my dad and the time that I found his white lighter in my bed and had I not known better, I would have set my bunkbed ablaze it would have made you think real long and hard about your menthol days but now I'm a vice in concrete, two initials scrawled in sidewalk despite your best intentions, I still don't want to talk about the commitments of etchings the inability to fall apart two letters a plus sign and an encircling heart but you know me and you care and you want the best for me I can't tell if i'm introverted, or if I'm just really lame because you know I've got way more time than you to play all of these games so when I say I'm far too busy to leave my house don't believe a word from my mouth I just don't want to go out just don't want to go but you know me and you care and you want the best for me ohmygodohmygodohmygod youuu know me youuu care and want the best for me

blow out the candles, and turn out the lights I don't think that we can synthesize until you're as empty as I feel on the inside but I've been there before, I know how it goes there's distress in your voice, intonations on phones and you start wearing holes through your favorite clothes they're familiar, they smell like, not being alone I haven't clipped my nails, so the first thing you'll feel is sharp and while we're dancing in the shadows, I'll embrace my fear of the dark because there's these things that you do and the things that you say the way that you feel and you make me okay and I know that I can't be dependent on you because one day you'll be gone and I won't know what to do and every time I digress I put myself in a place and if I stay there too long, I can't remember your face there's the colors, the contours, the flush of your cheeks the way that I slept and the grinding of teeth

about

We've had difficulty finding studio opportunities and being able to take advantage of them. These tracks were recorded in Chandler's garage using a USB condenser mic and mixed using Garageband.

We would like to believe that this little baby EP places Swordfish on a spectrum in our genre with Really Really Lame on one end and Favorite Clothes on the other. Our other songs are some place in between.

What You Haven't Found identifies this intrapersonal discovery (or lack thereof) that we all pursue in self-actualization and happiness. Both Really Really Lame and Favorite Clothes delve into this area of discovery.

Please enjoy :-)
