April Fools and Eggmen - Fair to Midland
Rest assured they’re weighing words
In sympathetic ink
And they don’t waste their time suspending disbelief
They face the facts with thinking caps
They map out and display
But that’s not the only way
Common sense won’t pay the rent and doesn’t grow on trees
But splitting hairs can get you anything you need
Who would have thought connecting dots might get you to the point
But charity’s a rarity
Almost as much as modestyTake the bait
And save however long it takes
Before you make your wish
However much it takes
Surrah, you’ve seen them nine because I’ve seen them eight. I’m decently sure of that, but I’ll double check.
Yeah, that’s what I thought, but Kevan was saying that he’d seen them ten (when we were in line for TDH last weekend) and we thought we had been to all the same shows.
I think he was just miscounting xD

I wanna see how many of you guys actually know of them.
Seen them live nine (ten…?) times, and have them tattooed on my hip.
So, yeah, a bit of a fan.
Fair to Midland - A Seafarer’s Knot (Acoustic)
“Short-Haired Tornado” by Fair To Midland
Doubting Thomas deserves much more than we can give
If we win the lottery, let’s buy an island just for him
So when that hurricane tries beatin’ down the door
We can make him bat its eyes until it can’t see what’s a-…
Until we can’t see what’s ahead
You can sew me in stitches
And curse at the cautious
While it lasts
‘Cause soon we’ll all forget
Fair to Midland — Tall Tales Taste Like Sour Grapes
Tell me, tell me a story,
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
So I’m turning, turning a deaf ear,
So that I don’t hear them throwing stone,
These walls don’t talk,
Even when somebody knocks,
These walls don’t stand,
For anyone else but themselves,
These walls don’t fall,
Even when gravity’s failing us all

Saw this on my newsfeed and nearly cried.
I love this band a little too much.
Red lipstick, liquid eyeliner, and my I’m A Whale tour shirt mean I can conquer anything.
Even if “anything” entails going over to my significant person’s and marathoning nerdy TV shows. :D
The Carbon Copy Silver Lining - Fair to Midland
I don’t listen to this album nearly enough.
Look, behind the bush lies a river tree
“An Occurrence During The Restoration Process” - Fair To Midland (via valbino)
Hands cuffed and bound so as to limit speech
Woke up to keep an eye on everything
Maybe the statue will step out and make a scene(Source: spooning-lol)
Five tons a mile a minute
“Orphan Anthem ‘86 (original demo)” - Fair To Midland (via valbino)
Two is the one that we hope for, hope for
Only your handfuls of cartoons can misdirect
Our dialect, our dialect
And from this day on he will go by
The name of John Doe, Jr.(Source: spooning-lol)
