    An avant-folk/pop/rock hybrid full of hopeful love songs, smart-assy sarcasm, and half-baked philosophizing. Kinda catchy, kinda dark, and totally worth your time.

lyrics

"Normal's" a dance
We do with ourselves
But we can't tow the line anymore
An ass-shakin' jive
But your rhythm's all wrong
And this dance has become such a chore

You've waltzed past the grave
In search of yourself
And you found lots of answers
That weren't any help
The judges have scored
And the game has been played
And you've got no more soul left to sell.

We're all just searching for
Rhythm and Rhyme
And the means to sell off the game
But the crowd's all gone home
And the dancin' is done
And all you have left is your name

A partner can save you
Yeah, that's what they said
Another to catch if you fall
But you gave up on us
Just as soon as you saw
We were tied to a train going nowhere at all

Now we all just fight through
the static and hum
And reach for a place to call "whole"
We once danced for two
Now we're dancing for none
With no one to care for your soul.

The Port of Dream Columbus, Ohio

Someone gave that weird metalhead at the party an acoustic guitar and asked him to sing something. Often sarcastic,biting, and self deprecating to a fault. Music that stares at its shoes but says something mildly funny while doing it.
