Joseph Glad As a lively listener, the maudlin weather brought me to the point of introspection to realize that a brand new Legume album is literally exactly what I need. It’s like a shot of morphine, dopamine, skateboarding for 4 hours, stretching before doing anything, and general sensuality that brings Legume to its peak. 9/10

I was born with a rusty spork in my mouth With no sense of direction its hard to tell when things are going south You worry about that, so do I I look at you and I want to cry Cause as clever as we are, we're losers Yes as clever as we are, we're losers I didn't wake up today To have you all up in my face What has cause this fall from grace? Now I've got nothing nice to say We ought to throw our phones in the river Can anyone save my forsaken liver? He's gonna throw it all away, oh well You can tell he's not here for very much longer time is relative while feelings grow stronger I didn't wake up today To have you all up in my face What has cause this fall from grace? Now I've got nothing nice to say So I'll say nothing

Good luck brain and goodnight moon I'll get it straight real real soon Is this right? Is this my room. It comes together tomorrow afternoon Stiff jean you're making me feel some kind of way Tryna think for myself with all this shit in the way Stiff jean jacket, baby, like you told me to stay I'm doing things for myself and thats ok. Why do you play dead all of the time? Is this your first time being alive? Hey babe oh well, I'm just gathering intel. Stiff jean you're making me feel some kind of way Tryna think for myself with all this shit in the way Stiff jean jacket, baby, like you told me to stay I'm doing things for myself and thats ok.

In My Room 02:38
Stormy weather calls for sweaters Don't sweat it. I'll learn to do me for your sake I'll learn to make due The holes in my wall make me feel small In my In my room In my room In my room Tranquil is the day in which I can say "play that song for me" and pay The attention that the curves of your face deserve Honestly I wanna be a honey bee and serve In a valley of listless lupines with few things on my mind, but I'm in no mood to fantasize I'm in no mood to glorify That which I am not

Shoot 02:57
I go outside To clear my mind Of your posthumous sillage No, I don't mind It just takes one child to burn down a village Chill out Calm Down Waves acquiesce like a fugue of wilderness What a mess, what a mess

My friends Don't trust me to make my own decisions Well fair enough My head is scrambled eggs My legs weren't made for this. Well honey, whats next? You know I don't Mind being alone My phone Left on airplane mode You know I don't Mind being alone My phone Left on airplane mode Book ends Got me thinking bout my own beginings A heart mends But grows back different in the event Its spent on careless fucks Well, honey good luck You know I don't Mind being alone My phone Stuck on airplane mode You know I don't Mind being alone My phone Left on airplane mode

Thrill 03:01
The most valuable thing you can do is to continue, continue being you ;~* Environmental science and fucking with the clients of pop culture cults, its prolly not their fault But still The thrill Its funny how the brain works with prickly thorns and quick quirks And I can't find the words for you but thats not from a lack of trying, darling I'm dying Its funny how the brain works with prickly thorns and quick quirks And I can't find the words for you but thats not from a lack of trying My advanced sp is king fisher blue And sometimes you are to Which is cool, I mean I'm here, I mean You might be growing bored of living in a body your eyesight's gone to shit and your hearing's getting shoddy But still The thrill It would be kinda cool to live outside the pool of human interaction, the shallow attraction of a physical world of a physical world Its funny how the brain works with prickly thorns and quick quirks And I can't find the words for you but thats not from a lack of trying, darling I'm dying Its funny how the brain works with prickly thorns and quick quirks And I can't find the words for you but thats not from a lack of trying

The visions dancing in my mind The early dawn, the shades of time Twilight crawling through my windowpane Am I awake or do I dream, The strangest pictures I have seen Night is day and twilight's gone away With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. Across the night I saw your face You disappeared without a trace You brought me here, but can you take me back Inside the image of your light That now is day and once was night You lead me here and then you go away. Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. You brought me here, but can you take me back again? With your head held high and your scarlet lies You came down to me from the open skies It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind Away from me. I only meant to stay, oh I only meant to stay For a little while.

Mom I hear the birds they're singing through my bedroom window Although I know that I should go I stay in bed Fill my head with surreal nature and adventure I venture through the fibers of my past where nothing lasts and I learned too fast Take me back, leave me alone. I won't, although you know I really really really really want to Remember that time your hand smelt sick? Quick running in the rain You're running running running running For twenty two years I've felt a little weird Confessing my fears in front of a minor Whatever you want, I'll give it to you I am that fool you can't see through I guess that worked out pretty well for you Mom I hear the birds they're singing through my bedroom window Is it you? Is it you?

Still Green 03:17
Memories always bring out old feelings, buckling knees None of these jokers know me anymore I checked my bags at the door I believe bristling burs will cling to me make me pay for these words Probably, I'm never to sure of Things to come, of things that were Though I am forsaken, if I'm not mistaken I'm still in all of your dreams Believe me, I'm sorry What did I believe in so viscerally? I am still green, regrettably How could I believe in something I couldn't see? Apparently I have lost touch with reality, poor unfortunate me A parody of myself, I play a shelved antiquity Though you are a skeptic, I've studied your metric I've learned how you choose to move, believe me you've Got nothing to prove What did I believe in so viscerally? I am still green, regrettably How could I believe in something I couldn't see? I am still green

There's not much to be said When all your friends are dead or gone And if you thought what to say Well what would that change? I'm a motherless fawn Hey, are you still with me? Or have you fallen asleep? Oh, you look so sleepy Hey, are you still with me? Or have you fallen asleep? Oh, you look so sleepy I miss my mother I wish I could love her The way she loved me, I hope she's happy I'm doing much better I'm with a bird of a feather You wouldn't believe how she Thought what to say In her sweet and tender way It almost felt wrong Gin, green chartreuse They helped me move My life along Hey, are you still with me? Or have you fallen asleep? Oh, you look so sleepy Hey, are you still with me? Or have you fallen asleep? you look so sleepy Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
