Say Anything - Wire Mom Lyrics

When people ask why I think Bemis is a genius, I tell them this: "I come up with songs all the time and will just write and write, but I never have the balls to sit down and slog it out into my recording software because visions change throughout the songwriting process and I end up feeling underwhelmed by the final product. Then comes the anxiety to put it out. But Bemis went through the same thing and pushed himself so hard his anxiety threw him into psychiatric wards on multiple occasions, just so he could get his music out there. He truly suffered for his art and I am both in awe and grateful. He's both the man I wish I could be and the man I'm glad I'm not."

the emotions in these vocals are fucking intense. love it

The chorus is so good it should be illegal

Sherri's voice is the butter on the pancake here, the chorus is killer!

God I love his vocals on this whole album, this is my favorite though.

Is the title "Wire Mom" a reference to that thing where they had a baby monkey with two fake mothers? One mother was made of soft cloth but wouldn't have any milk, and the other was made of wire but had milk. The baby monkey would only go to the wire mother for food, but would remain with the cloth mother for the rest of the time.

Favorite off the album

Beneath your bombast and the humor of syntax, in carbonite, a human being. Once you saw through me, but now I’m an employee. So sick of it, tired and wizened and free.

this is fucking awesome

Love this one <3

"You're fake, baby, so he can just take you home"
Current mood.

Don't you love the way he says "so he can just..."

Pukegate reference. Own it

I puke onstage and slip, face plant and I’m faced with the acid reflux remains of subjective truth.
Genius ha
