Hell Is Near

empty cup and a can full of marigolds
half burned candle a picture pinned on the wall
letters records and ash on linoleum
signs of life the beginning the beginning our beginning begin again
I was bare and your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare wanted all under heaven allowed
snubbed out smoke in a pack from the nowhere inn
water glass with the smudge of a lipstick stain
box of nails, olive branch, and the holy ghost
leave the rest but come back for the marigolds
I was bare and your word was still warm in my hand
I was bare wanted all under heaven allowed
give it all away you give it all away cause the whole world’s watching you

Reckless

I watched you all night till the dawn had come and the angels came down and picked you up
breathless
the smell of your hair on the curtains babe the wind blew the windows out in the rain
reckless reckless
and every part of you is in me now there’s no going back I breathe you out
breathless breathless breathless
london sun the air like a shot hey ma i’m cracking cracking up
reckless reckless reckless
and i’ve been mourning you since the day I met you
stranger come in my path I’ll eat you up tear you limb from limb or i’ll fall in love
reckless reckless reckless
if your love was an anchor then I am lost at sea I hear the riders calling they’re calling for me
calling for me
calling for me
calling for me
calling for me

Broken Man
03:21
|

|
on the street i’m a kingsize killer
I can make your kingdom come
on my feet I’m an earthquake shaking
so open up my little one
hey what are you looking at
who the hell do you think I am
what are you looking at
like you never seen a broken man
lover nail yourself right to me
if you go I won’t be well
I can hold my arms right open
but I need you to drive the nail
hey what are you looking at
who the hell do you think I am
what are you looking at
like you never seen a broken man
How do you see me now?
You built my tower to tear it down.
And how could you see me now?
If I stopped cracking up myself
If I stopped cracking up

Flea
03:46
|

|
i’m just like a hungry little flea
jumping on somebody’s warm body
when you start to itch and scratch and scream
once i’m in you can’t get rid of me
drip you in diamonds pour you in cream
you will be mine for eternity
hair in my shears fall at your feet
you will be mine for eternity
when you’re walking down your sunny street
(I got it)
thinking of your bills or what to eat
(I got it)
then you feel that little prick from me
look at you and all I see is meat
drip you in diamonds pour you in cream
you will be mine for eternity
i’ll bring you china milk for your tea
you will be mine for eternity
eternity
drip you in diamonds pour you in cream
you will be mine for eternity
hair in my shear fall at your feet
you will be mine my everything

don’t kid don’t blame don’t snap insane don’t crack don’t act your age don’t change your name its all the rage
do ask but don’t tell don’t laugh but do smile don’t have a glass don’t stay a while don’t take a pic don’t feel so sick
big time nothing
I look inside I look inside I look inside

Violent Times
03:57
|

|
violent times almost lost you in these violent times
I forgot people be so kind in these violent times
dollar signs almost lost it chasing dollar signs
know the cost but I forgot the price of buying my lie
I must have been dreaming I fell down the well
waking up waking up in hell
different eyes you’re the same but I got different eyes
how could I ever have been so blind blame these violent times
when all of the bombs inside all of the wires I hide all of the wasted nights fighting mortality when in the ashes of pompeii lovers discovered in an embrace for all eternity
I must have dreaming I fell down the well but I swear you were hearing me through the noise and static and the call

The Power's Out
04:38
|
|||
|
monday morning subway station pushers pushing racers racing came the message on the station the power’s out across the nation
and ladies and gentleman it seems we’ve got a problem the man on my screen said just as somebody shot him
and the mothers gasped the children cried almost could not believe my eyes
the power’s out and no one can save us no one can blame us now
that the power’s out
it was pouring like a movie every stranger looked like they knew me handsome cowboys praying gothic said I just remembered being happy
and “ladies and gentleman do remember me smiling” the queer on the train said as she jumped off the platform
and some blind folks held the police crying I swear to you I would not lie
the power’s out
the power’s out and no one can save us no one can blame us now
that the power’s out
that’s why I never came home

Sweetest Fruit

my sophie climbed the roof to get a better view of the moon
my god then one wrong stair took her down to the depths but for a minute what a view what a view
you’re a natural baby you don’t have to quit
sweetest fruit
you’re a natural baby you know this aint it
the sweetest fruit is on the limb
my danny took a bus to find america it goes on and on and on and on and on
you’re a natural baby you don’t have to quit
sweetest fruit
you’re a natural baby you know this aint it
the sweetest fruit is on the limb
you’re a natural baby you don’t have to quit
sweetest fruit
you’re a natural baby you know this aint it
the sweetest fruit is on the limb

So Many Planets
03:35
|

|
misfiring chemicals and scary ideas
this revolution isn’t fun, ma
i’m out of fashion I got God on my heels
i’m dropping promises like H bombs but keep calm
i’m at the back of my head watching my life happening
watching the sink filling red and i’m not stopping it
I have to visit so many planets before I find my own
I fall asleep in the golden highway before I find it
hemorrhaging heartthrob with a six pack of beer
leaning outside her burned out window
she isn’t smiling but she’s happy you’re here
we’ll make a killing from her trauma oh mama
here at the back of my head watching my life happening
feeling distinct smithereens i’ve gotten used to it
I have to visit so many planets before I find my own
I fall asleep in the golden highway before I find it

I have climbed power lines and mountains just to feel above the ground
I have crawled out your hallowed houses just to feel my headache pound
I feel like graffiti on a urinal in the abattoir well it goes and it goes
I can’t stop my legs I can’t feel my feet I own nothing and nothing owns me
we’re all born screaming
we’re all born screaming
well well
I have climbed into open arms that turned into a straight jacket
stolen hearts I didn’t need but man I always paid for them
I was a pantomime of a modern girl those were the days and I was miserable a karaoke version of leonard’s “hallelujah” in my whole damn life I had never exhaled oh well
we’re all born screaming
we’re all born screaming
we’re all born screaming
we’re all born screaming
well well well well
all born screaming
all born screaming
all born screaming
all born screaming

The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We
by Mitski
supported by 72 fans who also own “All Born Screaming”
I remember seeing everyone freak out on twitter when this was announced. I had literally zero idea what Mitski's music even was like apart from bits of Nobody & Washing Machine Heart, so when it came out I had no idea what to expect. I think that deciding to listen to this album was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Every single song is a standout track to me, which I don't say lightly. It also led me to listen to the rest of her discography, which I haven't regretted in the slightest.
