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

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

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

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

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).
