Ain't No Use 03:42
  Ain’t No Use There’s no use cryin’ ‘bout the things you lost No use crying ‘bout the ones you tossed Turn your head back now from where you came Don’t let the tame ones wear out your name Lay your head down on my knee Look me straight in the eye Tell you one thing that I’ll never be - It’s good at saying goodbye I felt shame for the things that I wanted I felt maimed by the terrible drought I caught you wishing on an old, dead star Lying down in the back of your car I marked you down as a lightweight You knocked me out the first round Still haven’t learned one single thing About how to keep you around I know and I know and I know and I know You’ll come back to me All terrible twos and a bruise on your face Like I never seen I know and I know and I know and I know you’ll come back to me I’ll be the one leaving here But maybe not yet I marked you down as a lightweight You knocked me out the first round Still haven’t learned one single thing About how to keep you around

You picked me up We ran around Your momma’s car Your daddy’s town Hey sugar pill Hey honey bee You got it all You don’t need me Tell me I’m second best Waiting on someone else Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else You stand too close You touch my arm You hold my eye A little long You call me up I say what’s up Same thing now You don’t want much Tell me I’m second best Waiting on someone else Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else Tell me I’m second best Waiting on someone else Write it down then I tear it on up Walk around with this dusty old heart I should make the decision for you But I don’t have the self control that I used to I want you so bad but I don’t I want you so bad but I don’t I want you so bad but I don’t I want you so bad but I don’t Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else Don’t turn me on Don’t drag it out While you’re waiting around for someone else

Medic 04:34
Stole all the laces To your favorite shoes Just to keep you here But maybe I cut you loose Out in the backyard Lying in the grass Your bare feet in the sun And your body a mess Send you a medic Send you a priest Call your momma, Baby To get what you need Open a bottle Open one more I spent too long counting on you To let you go It’s not like you’re hiding You take in too much You feed off everything Everyone you ever touched All of us monsters With our dusty old hearts We’ll eat you up And we can and we did Now you’re gone Send you a medic Send you a priest Call your momma, Baby To get what you need Open a bottle Open one more I spent too long counting on you To let you go It’s a terrible thing What we’re doing is never enough All the dogs and the cats And the people we meet and our stuff But the guns and the dudes And the news and the people All suck They all feed off you Till you tell them Enough’s enough Send you a medic Send you a priest Call your momma, baby To get what you need You got a wounded heart You got a wounded heart You got a wounded heart Don’t you.

Cold call Sugar Pill Formula, Equation Fast times Slow life All of you comedians Cold cocked Medicine Halfway indigent I don’t want to go back to being what you wanted Hail Mary Full moon Decorated bedroom Big boss Reckoning Makeshift happening Outdoor Jelly bean Backpack and cinnamon I don’t want to go back to being what you wanted Terrible ways that we land Oh my God has punishing hads Terrible games that we play Oh my God has punishing hands Oh my God has punishing hands First day Saturday Never had a secret Go on Big guy Tell me hope to keep it Lipstick So sick I don’t want a replay I don’t want to go back to being what you wanted Terrible ways that we land Oh my God has punishing hads Terrible games that we play Oh my God has punishing hands Oh my God has punishing hands Waited all day to show you I’m fine Then I caved into some deep shade of blue Waited all night to show you I’m fine Then I faded into some shade of blue And I faded into some shade of blue And I caved into some shade of blue

about

We're connected to each other in thoroughly incomplete ways. This album examines the staggered pace at which we try to keep cadence with those dear to us and our persistent desire to realign.

about

Porlolo Denver, Colorado

Porlolo is a true labor of love, with good friends finding peace and party times through musical connection. Formed in Denver in 2002 by the eccentric and prolific Erin Roberts, Porlolo has been a highly collaborative project. Roberts—a self-defined sister, swimmer and stunt artist—is a powerful songwriting force, cranking out grungy, sometimes twangy, often pure pop hits. ... more
