Do (x 26) You thought your heart was like a basket Of Olive Garden breadsticks Easy to refill and to share But now you've got a heart Like a soup in a tin Unopened cos the chef doesn't dare You've got to use it all in one go You can't get it in a box to go So while you're keeping it safely stored You build your own joy You build your own joy You build it everywhere you go Who cares if no-one wants to share it And you choose your own love You don't let them tell you to stop And you feel it everyday you've got these butterflies in your heart all the time Do (x 26) When a new day begins Does the news keep you in Are you stuck in liquid nitrogen Cos sometimes it seems That since 2016 You haven't had a single happy thought Are you gonna outlive this Or is this gonna outlive you When were you last carefree You build your own joy You build your own joy You build it everywhere you go Who cares if no-one wants to share it And you choose your own love You don't let them tell you to stop And you feel it everyday you've got these butterflies in your heart all the time And i think i've written a lot more love songs than i've ever inspired And i need a temporary tattoo of mistletoe that i can stick on my forehead You build your own joy You build your own joy You build it everywhere you go Who cares if no-one wants to share it And you choose your own love You don't let them tell you to stop And you feel it everyday you've got these butterflies in your heart all the time all the time

Snakebite frozen in ice antivenom back to life six o'clock buses stop i wanna be with you but i'm not and i'm drunk and i'm cold walking home on my own one headlight motorbike driving through an endless night if you're all alone - so am i if you're all alone - so am i if you're all alone - so am i if you're all alone - so am i all the friends that i've made they grow up and move away used to go to punk rock shows now they're playing 18 holes they say it was just a phase and they put their guitars away i should grow up get a job forget who i ever was but if you feel alone - so do i if you feel alone - so do i if you feel alone - so do i if you feel alone - so do i it's like i don't mind being in other people's lives but i don't know how to let them into mine it's like i don't mind being in other people's lives but i don't know how to let them into mine

i don't want you to go i don't want you to go i don't want you to go i don't want you to go but i can't get the smell of you out of my clothes and i can't take your messages off my phone we know this is goodbye it was a year of goodbyes there's only one picture of us and we're holding hands and i can't get used to you not being around and that picture is still my desktop background and maybe if things had been different then things could be different but they're not so they're not we really did something we did something real it was weird timing it was weird times but it was us who made the winter into spring but i don't know why everything works all the time when i've unplugged it all and i've turned out the lights and the stars are hiding in corners of space you'll find them all maybe if things had been different then things could've been different but they weren't so they're not maybe if things had been different then things could've been different but they weren't so they're not and you said i meant nothing to you and those words weren't hard to hear cos i don't mean anything to anybody in fact i'm barely even here

released July 22, 2017

all songs by benf

"build your own joy" and '"it'll all end in tears" feature Nathalie on bass and Jon on drums. "galesburg" also features Jon on the whistly thing. all songs recorded at Southtown Studio in Springfield Illinois (we should all find someone who looks at us the way springfield illinois looks at abraham lincoln).

i would like to thank everyone for listening. and i would especially like to thank the Beanhive open mic family and the DIY Galesburg crew, for being the most supportive music scene i've ever been a part of. i tried to write you all a verse in the Galesburg song but everything i came up with seemed inadequate to how important you are. and thank you to Glory Days and Cherry Street for venue space, to the bus driver for finding my glove, to the tornado siren for waking me up, to the gizmo (firestarter) for egging me on, and to the library for all the YAF. and most of all, thank you to my friends.
