Culprit Dua 03:34
We tear apart on the inside
 Just to see how capable we are and when it 
comes to sewing the wreckage back up again.
 Don’t worry, steady hands are on my repertoire. 
Heartache creeps in the shadows 
and I know setbacks come in full swing. 
That culprit hides in the details and sometimes 
caution needs to be thrown out to the wind.

 And baby, heads or tails won’t make an answer for this.
 At the drop of those dimes, you gotta gotta gotta
 use your best judgement. 

Those scraped knees heal with some time, love. 
Sometimes you gotta paint the moon blue. 
Our adventures round that hole in the sky are numbered.
 Maybe all you need to do is twist your point of view.
 Hands over your eyes won’t do you much good when 
life pulls them off for you. 

And baby, heads or tails won’t make an answer for this .
At the drop of those dimes, you gotta gotta gotta 
use your best judgement .

Life doesn’t stop for anyone including you. 
Don’t let it pass you by while you stare at your shoes.

 And no it won’t be last time. 
I said, no it won’t be the last time.
 Until maybe it is the last time. 
But, then again, you won’t ever know. 

Life doesn’t stop for anyone including you. 
Don’t let it pass you by while you stare at your shoes.

I think it’s kind of funny. 
 Everyone’s so lonely, 
myself included but that’s okay. 
But I think if you got to know me. 
I think maybe then you’d see 
 what being kind of lonely really means. 

But I should know better. 
I deserve better than to be with you. 
And after all of this time of making me change 
are you happy with me this way? 
Or should I rearrange? 

I’ve had some time to self-reflect 
to see how well I try and accept 
the things that spun out of my control. 
But the echoes waver in my head.
 They whisper back to me and instead 
I’ve broken my own heart time and time again. 

But I should know better.
 I deserve better than to be with you.
 And after all of this time of thinking it through,
 maybe you do too. 
But I’m not a fool. 

But I should know better.
 I deserve better than to be with you. 

And after all this time of making me change 
are you happy with me this way? 
And I know right now it might not feel okay.
 There’s gunna be day when something goes your way. 
Gunna be a day when.
 Gunna be a day when.

Happy Misery 03:34
With a bleeding heart stand aside.
 Can’t tell emotions apart, it never subsides. 
All those feelings now they melt in tune like stones 
on an open ocean floor and it reminds me.

 See, we’ve got you singing all along 
to the tune of, to the tune of
 our happy misery, 
 our happy misery,
our happy misery,
our happy misery and it sounds like

 I’ve got a fatal case of the comparisons 
where I don’t know if I’m as happy as I should be, 
 could be better, right? 
Learning now that vulnerability is a cage unlocked 
 with the key pressed to my palm.
 Now we move our feet with our Mary Whalen smiles 
as we sing out our sadness proudly 
and it sounds like 

Fell so far down in this hole 
that I climbed out the other side 
and opened up to the experience 
this place of thought has given to us 
and, without caution, for once 
we’re recklessly hopeful. 

Now we’re all singing like 
It’s okay to let it all sink in. 
I take a breathe and let it all sink in. 
It’s okay to let it all sink in.
 I take a breathe and let it all sink in. 
It’s okay to let it all sink in.

Honey 03:23
I locked you up in a bedroom
 and I said I swear to god if you move
 I will tear you from the skin
 you’ve been living in and I will haunt you. 
I will haunt you.

 So honey tie me up (tie me up)
 and I won’t tie you down.
 We’ll never grow up (grow up) 
if we don’t start now. 

 So I picked you from some zoo (some zoo)
 where nothing was in common but you. 
And we drove through history and you never once told me
 what it was like to be you. 
What the ocean’s like swimming through. 
These are the things I’d like to know,
 Like how sweet you like it and when I should let go.
 If you want me to leave let me know. 
I love your space but I’ll get my own.

 Honey tie me up (tie me up) 
and I won’t tie you down. 
We’ll never grow up (grow up)
 if we don’t start now .

Honey tie me up (tie me up)
 and I won’t tie you down.
 We’ll never grow up (grow up) 
if we don’t start now. 

Honey tie me up.
(honey tie me up.) 
Honey tie me up.
(honey tie me up. )
Honey tie me up.
(honey tie me up.) 
Honey tie me up. 

Honey tie me up (tie me up )
and I won’t tie you down.
 We’ll never grow up (grow up )
if we don’t start now. 

Honey tie me up.
 (tie me up, honey, tie me up)
 Honey tie me up.
(honey tie me up) 
Honey tie me up.
(grow up, honey tie me up) 
Honey tie me up.

Run 02:54
Run faster, I’m coming after you.
 Pretty soon, I, I will devour you.
 I’ve become so close to you.
 Don’t let me catch up to you. 

Cause I’m running out of time. 
Been running for long with these lies. 

I’ve got nothing to prove.
 You have nothing I could use.
 Your heart is made of stone 
I’ll hand over the throne 
but I’m coming after you, 
I’m coming after you.

 Run faster the end is near to you.
 Pretty soon it, it will consume you (it will consume you). 
I’ve become so lost without you .
So help me, help me find you. 

I’ve got nothing to prove.
 You have nothing I could use. 
Your heart is made of stone 
I’ll hand over the thrown
 But I’m coming after you, 
I’m coming after you.

 And I’m coming after you,
 I’m coming after you.
(I’m coming after you) 
I’m coming after you,
 I’m coming after you.
(I’m coming after you) 
I’m coming after you, 
I’m coming after you. 
(I’m coming after you)
 I’m coming after you, 
I’m coming after you.

Navii 02:15
I’ve got a fear of confrontation, baby.
 Feelings get too messy.
 Puncture holes and floating heavy. 
Sometimes I say more than I should. 

I’ve got a sickly sinking feeling, oh no. 
A perpetual panic.
 All this chaos, it might be too much. 
Bend over backwards but it’s still not enough. 

I’m tired of facing this problem
 that I try too hard to fix.

 Hey listen, I’ve been down that wormhole too many times 
for me to keep coming in after you (after you).
 And hey listen, we’ve all been down that road before. 
But I’m seeing a side of you I wish I hadn’t.

 Cross my t’s and dot my i’s 
it’s all I ever do.
 Skin of my teeth and pull out my eyes, 
it’s all I ever do. 

 Hey listen, I’ve been down that wormhole too many times 
for me to keep coming in after you (after you).
 And hey listen, we’ve all been down that road before. 
But I’m seeing a side of you I wish I hadn’t.
7.
I’m too scared of the thought of not waking up, 
so I just don’t sleep anymore. 
I realize now I should have bought a better car
 so I could leave quiet as a mouse.
 I don’t want you to feel locked inside of a mind
 that seems so inviting and kind.

 I don’t wanna go, 
I don’t wanna know what it’s like to not be your girl.
 Honey, you’re my world. 
Let me show you around, these are the things I found.
 I just wanna love you loud. 

 So when you turn a new page 
 think about giving me a call.
 Cause the times are all changing, 
hey I’m preparing to fall. 
I’ve seen the light in your eyes
 dim a little more every time I ask to talk. 
But now they don’t change at all.
 So I’m giving myself the wait and trial, 
I think we’re in denial, now I’m thinking 
I should leave for a while. 

I don’t wanna go, 
I don’t wanna know what it’s like to not be your girl.
 Honey, you’re my world. 
Let me show you around, these are the things I found. 
I just wanna love you loud.

 So when we crash and burn, 
I know we both lit the match.
 Physicality doesn’t mean anything with no emotion attached.
 I don’t wanna be this shape anymore.
 My edges are multiplying.
 I don’t wanna be this sharp anymore. 

But I don’t wanna go, 
I don’t wanna know, 
what it’s like to not be your girl.
 Honey, you’re my world. 

And I don’t wanna know 
I don’t wanna know. 
I don’t wanna know 
I don’t wanna know what it’s like to not be your girl.

 So I’m not gunna go, 
I’m not gunna go.

uokaybro 04:36
Hey it’s me, I’m losing my mind.
 I never felt so inclined not to go outside
 When I can just stay here work on my miserable award of the year.
 But this is just shit that you don’t want to hear.

 So tell me I’m okay, 
tell me I don’t have to be afraid.
 Cause I’m scared of the ending and 
I don’t wanna play this game. 
Anymore.

 Now I’m okay with waking up alone.
 After all I did, I still built this home. 
Out of sticks and stones, 
they promise to never break my bones.
 And I’d let your words dance on a throne
 but your silence is what hurts me. 

So tell me I’m okay, 
 tell me I don’t have to be afraid (don’t have to be) 
But I’m scared of the ending 
and I don’t wanna play this game (don’t wanna play)
 So tell me I’m okay, 
tell me I don’t have to be afraid (don’t have to be)
 But now the movie’s ending 
and I can’t look the other way anymore. 

Anymore (anymore).

 When can I see through brand new eyes?
 This old pair of mine never got to see the light.
 When can I see through brand new eyes? 
This old pair of mine never got to see the light.

 So tell me I’m okay, 
tell me I don’t have to be afraid (don’t have to be)
 But I’m scared of the ending 
and I don’t wanna play this game (don’t wanna play)
 So tell me I’m okay, 
tell me I don’t have to be afraid (don’t have to be) 
But now the movie’s ending 
and I can’t look the other way anymore.

Dark Battery 04:46
Crash landed on a red horizon Upon this great adventure we disembark. Six wheels born to seize opportunity Kicking up dust as free as a lark. Through an enlightening journey of buffeting winds and tire marks. In loneliness and calls from home, 
 even iron hearts still foster loving spark Forty five kilometers out from basecamp This seems like a nice place to park. It’s been a beautiful ride but I regret nothing As my batteries are low and it’s getting dark.

10.
Packrat 03:54
It’s an unspoken word.
 We know how the other does this time of year.
 We know so well, can’t help but wonder how.
 You’ve taken your daydreams and
 fixed it upon my head,
like some sort of crown.
 Too scared too wake and find
 remnants of the bad parts scattered around.
 You walk around them as if they were eggshells
 underneath your feet, sharp and damaging.
 Breaking holes in your shoes, 
 so, tell me, how do you chose
 what to keep or toss? 
You can’t get rid of it all, at all.

 Time is a thief in the night
she’s stolen all your memories.
 Try to remember all the details.
 The good and the bad, 
they’re all for taking.
 They’ve plagued for years in the making.

 Oh, oh, oh.

about

Necter would like to thank:

 Anthony Lopardo for helpin’ our dopey fingers move a little bit quicker, and helping us create exactly what we were looking for. As well as listening to the cockamamy ideas and making them work, thanks for all the ball-busting, and fashion policing.

Lana and Frankie Siegel’s Dad, Paulie for graciously lending us the dreamiest thinline so we could recreate how these songs were originally created.

Kieran’s Aunt Lisa for lending us our writing cabin and home away from home up in the middle of nowhere. 

Jordan Doyle of Gaffer Project for his wonderful poet’s brain for dark battery.

Our friends and family who support us, take care of our pets and apartments while we’re touring and who allow us to keep being able to do what we love.

YOU for buying our albums, coming to our shows, buying our merch, and loving this band. We would never be able to accomplish without the love and support of the local music scene and beyond. We promised it would be worth the wait. We hope you think so too.



in peaches,
necter
