Proteus 04:08
For cooling the waters there was you For luring adventurers to sea Whatever I do baby come through Cause you are an animal to me For breaking the mold there was you For giving flight to bumblebee Whatever I do baby come through Cause you are the skeleton key And If you want it then you should have it Always you should have it For giving me eyes in the dark For giving face to alchemy Whatever I do baby come through Cause I'm prisoner to the sea For catching me walking on the shore For tethering thought to prophecy Whatever I do baby come through Cause you're everyone to me And if you want it then you should have it Always you should have it

Blankets 05:24
I will rise and free you from the cupboard And evil eyes begone without a dark to cover you In its cold tonight Even still it's cold tonight Blankets, don't obscure the part of this I really needed Fourteen days away was hardly time enough Bleed me dry separating Siamese snow angels On purest white but I embrace the sting because it doesn't submit to decay And it's cold tonight Even still it's cold tonight Blankets, don't obscure the part of this I really needed Fourteen days away was hardly time enough Testing threat of cold was all it took to crave the fire Unplug the phone and burn the correspondence that made it real

Friends 03:26
Dearest friends, don't leave me now On my knees smearing dirt across my brow This is not my kind of game This is not my kind of game Dearest friends, don't leave me now Dearest friends, you built a garden in the ground Move so fast I see you clearly through my mask My hands won't learn to mend themselves I know now On my watch, feed the soldiers from the mound Grass won't grow in our commonwealth Whosoever crosses this line Throw down your arms I know now My boys throw coins into the well This is not my kind of game Someone could get hurt I know now This is not my kind of game Spikes and cardinal sins My hands won't learn to mend themselves Dearest friends, you'll show no mercy to the hound Throw down your arms Someone could get hurt Throw down your arms Mercenary

We Builders 04:25
I build homes for other people Needlework not so rough Old things made new with a little help Will strain the nano-fibers keeping us together I know that it takes magic Sometimes our schematics don't get it right These trains without their engines Bear fruit for urban harvest But all my talking points and hammers Couldn't force wrecked angles into squares Even though the math was there I know that it takes magic Sometimes our schematics don't get it right

about

Monster Furniture Brooklyn, New York

"Giant Egg" out now!

Monster Furniture is the moniker of Brooklyn-based recording artist Gabe Smoller. Across genre-spanning albums and with a rotating cast of collaborators, he writes songs about dogs, death, containment, illness, and home renovation, finding complexity in the mundane (and with just enough DIY eccentricities to keep things from getting too heavy). ... more
