Bioluminescent submarine, bioluminescent submarine Water is all I am, all I’ll be, and everything I think I’ll ever see, oh yeah Bioluminescent submarine, bioluminescent submarine Lonely below the sea, only me while I recalibrate my buoyancy tonight Bioluminescent submarine, bioluminescent submarine Hark! The radar beeps, I’ll take a peek and Frazzled by dazzle paint, I need to shoot but shaded angles throw me for a loop I don’t know what to do, I’m confused, bud I need to get close to you 20,000 leagues of my own Underwater zone, underwater’s home Split the dim abyss with my lonesome HY-80 steel what’s owed Fortune favors flow Design depth Test depth Maximum operating or never exceed depth Collapse depth aka crush depth Tessarakonteres a wreckage at the seabed

Furreal? 03:58
The face that launched 1K ships I was on the 345th It turns out Helen had a bad lisp And an annoying laugh to go w it I think if Paris woulda known he woulda ditched his tryst To save himself from all the blood that’d spill Oh it's nbd I hope that Menelaus loved her for what was real I heard something that made me PISSED I heard that William Shakespeare never did exist Well what abt the sonnets that I’ve now forgotten? Once nourished in my head like a flowerpot :0) I think they’ve gone and wondered off to The Great Whatnot But if I try I can remember them still… Oh it’s okay The words will read the same by any other name I’ll just sit here suffering from undiagnosed illnesses The birds are not grateful for houses that I built them Some folks believe in god but don’t believe in me I’d rather spend my days exploring caves in Honali Ooo Oooo ooOoOooOoOOOo OooOOOOoooOoooOoOoOoo oo

Tuxedo Park 01:51
Gentle ghosts inhabit the lake My blue lips cracked as their thin arms held me On that cot, the dampness seeping through I half-forgot, but they know our faces Suit and tie, we made a mistake remember We got by, the banquet was worth the wait The 585 holds a special place The longest drive, to get some space from it I called the office, pled my case Tuxedo fits me all the same Misgivings contour bad advice Consider me desensitized but still I shouldn’t pretend I didn’t hear that voice In it’s scolding tone repeating Drive my car into the ocean Fish me out, I’m glowing green I called the office, pled my case Tuxedo fits me all the same Misgivings contour bad advice Consider me desensitized

In A Dream 02:56
Cut through the tension with a kitchen knife Peel back the membrane flaps and slide like a volunteer fireman down my spine A frozen sweat-shelled past self ripe to try An exoskeleton of echoed whines and resonating lies Half-dead, full battery You’re nuts you’d be better off in a tree Your dad went and stuffed his bags in an SUV and drove off into the sea Last chance at subjectivity, making out with [redacted] again in a dream Half-dead, full battery You’re nuts you’d be better off in a fruitcake, sticking in my teeth You think the air should stay motionless B R E A T H E Still sick, but not radically Don’t know if you’ll ever really know what it meant to me And if you said what I think you said I’m done that’s right I’m dead Still keening profusely, and changed some words cause I’m ashamed of who I used to be

about

Soft Cough New York

Soft Cough is a New York state-based band that was formed in Geneseo, NY, a small college town outside of Rochester. We were extremely fortunate to be part of a prolific community of artists, musicians, and activists who all had a collective goal of propagating a creative community-based scene. We would not have been able to do this without the unconditional support of our friends and fans. ... more
