At first I was fine
no trouble spending my time
watchin' movies, drinkin' smoothies
doing yoga online
I always said in my mind
that I was wasting my time
bills and cable, waiting tables
til I'm dead inside
Now that I'm home
I can't stay off of my phone
checking in with every friend
that can't stand being alone
Yeah I'm doing okay
plenty of art to make
got my wish but it seems sick
to have it happen this way
Hail hope! Heal me!
How can I steady my breathing?
Hail for help! Hear Me!
Over stressing and compression
are getting to me
No I don't have a fever
or a reason to leave here
I cancel plans to wash my hands
so no one else can come breathe here
Now I'm scrubbing the floors
wiping down every door
I wanna hide and stay inside
until I can't take no more
Hail hope! Heal me!
How can I steady my breathing?
Hail for help! Hear Me!
Over stressing and compression
are getting to me

So Alone

I wanna beat myself up too
yeah I do, yeah I do
but think of everyone else
around you
they love you
They don't get how you hate you
like you do, like you do
'Cuz they keep thinking the same things
about themselves too
How do you feel?
So Alone?
Some days are darker than others
and you don't wanna bother
that's why we all have eachother
to see good in another
It's okay to take days
a step at a time
Soon the sadness will fade
it'll fade, into sunshine
How do you feel?
No need to feel.
So Alone
If your world takes a turn
you stand up and survive
Don't let fear steer you clear
of just feeling alive
You're not a rank
You're not a place
You're not a number
Or a grade
Cynicism is just a fad
you are good
this will pass

You say I'm lazy,
you say I don't fit
Takes one to know one
You make me sick
You say I'm simple
You say I'm a hick
You're fucking no one,
you stupid dick
Oppression won't win
The light comes from within
I need a sense of calm
I wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
You try to change me if you could
I see the trees, you saw the wood
You say I'm different
You say we don't click
I say you're crazy
I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream
Oppression won't win
The Light Comes from within
I need a sense of calm
I wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
I say you're greedy because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream
Oppression won't win
The Light comes from within

I got a handful of this
what do I do with it
I got a barrel of this
what do I do with it
I do it clean
Do it clean
Ya know what I mean
Where am I going?
Where have aI been?
Where are you going?
Where have you been?
I've been here
I've been there
Here there everywhere
Here there nowhere
itsy-bitsy-witzy-itzy everywhere
I've been here and I've been there
I'm clean

Monica LaPlante Minneapolis, Minnesota
Keeping the garage in garage rock, Monica LaPlante's fuzzed riffs and frank lyricism lay bare while they grind into your psyche like a steel-toed boot into wet cement. -Minnesota Public Radio

From the Dark
by Christy Costello
supported by 8 fans who also own “Quarantine EP”
I haven't heard the album yet (but I ordered it. :)). I heard Christy and Monica Laplante, a while back on The Current, talking about the album. Then I heard " Uranium Baby", which I love; hearkens back to those great punk sounds from the 80s. It sounds like it was recorded live in the studio, which I'll take any day, over a lot of the bland production that passes today. Speaking of Monica Laplante, I love what I heard of her songs as well. Time I got one of her albums. Tim 😀
