Don’t look so woebegone There’s no world beyond the windows And when the windows are shut The day is done It’s done Just pull the covers up It’s where we go to sleep and choke our thoughts And keep still until dawn I’m living the dream And everything’s perfect Look mom, I’m happy It’s just like we rehearsed it No need to sigh ‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside A small blue half-moon bag Under your eyes And this will all be televised (All be televised) Be glad you got the part! Remember Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge I think you need a paper bag I thought you got used to the wobble! But now you’re dizzy again Not again Again Oh no I’m eating my greens And everything’s worth it Tell dad I’m healthy Just like he predicted No need to sigh ‘Cause planet Earth can’t fit inside A small blue half-moon bag Under your eyes And this will all be televised (All be televised) Be glad you got the part! Remember Someday we’ll be ejected from the world like a cartridge

Surely when we die we’ll go someplace But what about the dolphins? Does anyone there hear and understand cetacean prayers? I mean if not that’s a bummer ‘Cause I’m just toking, dozing No emotions And no garden hozing It’s nothing much thought-provoking Just a hollow moment A couple more of those and I’ll be done Smoking Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na We were never quite at home in Paradise So if it’s any consolation This CGI some folks are working on is just unbelievable So turn your televisions on again ‘Cause you wouldn’t want to miss a thing Of these wonderful times that we’re living in I’m just toking, dozing No emotions And no garden hozing It’s nothing much thought-provoking It’s just a hollow moment A couple more of those and I’ll be done Smoking Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na

The sunlight stabs my eyes There’s birds perching on the powerlines I wonder if you woke in someone’s arms and if you’d ever consider mine The swaying shades of acacias in flower arrangements suggest That it’s time for me to be a man Or else with what regrets Would I be left to live forever The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I return The scent of evening air is cinnamon sweet here But it’s lost on my lungs breathing in The sunlight stabs my eyes (It stabs my eyes) There’s ferns running up the traffic signs outside (Outside) I tell the ether all of my desires and she says “Maybe another time”
4.
There’s some things I regret Like torturing insects in the garden when I was ten Faking tears for grandma’s death Stealing toys from all my favourite friends But do whatever you want ‘cause it’s the time of your life and it’s gonna level out Maybe It’s just getting to the point where you know it’s gonna be like this from now on Maybe I’m wrong And I’m portraying someone I’m not Maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough To stare my own eyes down Maybe I’m wrong I’d only ever do the perfect scissor kick On an empty pitch When there’s nobody cheering me on Oh, I have lost my dreams for you, boy You should have known it was the time for you life  and it was gonna level out Maybe I’m just getting to the point where you know it’s gonna be like this from now on Maybe I’m wrong And I’m portraying someone I’m not Well maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough To stare my own eyes down Maybe I’m wrong Maybe I’m just getting to the point where you know it’s gonna be like this from now on Maybe I’m wrong And I’m portraying someone I’m not Well maybe I’m not ever really home for long enough To stare my own eyes down Maybe I’m not All I know for sure is I’ll sit this one out
5.
Come, get up, they say it’s morning And if you’re not the one it’s dawning for There hasn’t ever been a day more opportune To sit out than this one Just let the sun pour in through the window for no one ‘Cause I  I know how it feels “Things happen for a reason” is what we’re always told For a moment I believed it But now it’s getting old And if your dreams are taking beatings I’ll join you on the floor You had best believe that Nobody owes you closure How I wish someone had told me that And everywhere you go is where you are There you are And all you bring is all that you’re running from And I I know how it feels “Things happen for a reason” is what we’re always told For a moment I believed it But now it’s getting old And if your dreams are taking beatings I’ll join you on the floor I know all your present feelings are gonna see you off (All people wither in the cold winter weather) (We’ll be okay)

Day One 05:20
Behind the glass A leaf is falling Carried by a gentle sigh A dog is walked A lawn is watered But what am I? Forgotten A golden frame For an aching pain I'll swallow In a quiet room While outside the flowers bloom as they would Anyway The sick are brave And extra loving I'm none of that I'm just sick and tired The children play Without a warning The trees are yawning But then it’s quiet A pouring rain washes away Tomorrow And its every word All its faces flaunt concern Cause what if it did? And the storm persists For many years And I'll spend my days As though it would Anyways Sometimes I get choked up Counting my prayers in a holy sense of disarray Cause I spend my days Wishing things could ever change As if they could Anyways

about

Warping Youth is the sophomore EP from Amsterdam psych-pop/soul duo Feng Suave. Recorded in 2019, it marks the first full body of work from the band in almost 3 years.

Compared to their debut EP, the band decided to track a lot more of the instrumentation live, which gives more of an analog feel to the sound of the record and creates some very unique and personal moments throughout the release.
