about

"If you’ve caught LA Font live in recent months, you’ve probably heard them tear into 'Lipsmack.' It’s the band’s best-yet marriage of artisanal melody and teenage blood, all frantic guitars and outsider angst." – Rawkblog

lyrics

Seems just like to me
Ancient -ography
Cutting up the sands to pacify the –

Feel like I should say
I ain't your -opoly
Buying up the slums
Pouring out your TV

Your lips smack
Behind my back
Keeping them so glossed it's hard to watch you talk
You got us beat red, black and blue
Like to keep you closer
Settle within –

Just to let you know
I ain't your therapy
That's not a couch to lay on
I do not want your chaos

To be clear,
It's not an -obia
Crawling down the walls
Dressing up like clowns

I hear
Your lips smack
Behind my back
Keeping them so glossed it's hard to watch you talk
You got us hard up against the wall
And we don't feel like that's respectful at all

It must be all for show
It must be all for show
You're coming off so sure
You're coming off so sure

It must be all for show
It must be all for show
You're coming off so sure
You're coming off so sure

Seems just like to me
Ancient -ography
Cutting up the sands to pacify the –

Feel like I should say
I ain't your -opoly
Buying up the slums
Pouring out your TV

Your lips smack
Behind my back
Keeping them so glossed it's hard to watch you talk
You got us beat red, black and blue
Like to keep you closer
Settle within view

It must be all for show
It must be all for show
You're coming off so sure
You're coming off so sure

It must be all for show
It must be all for show
You're coming off so sure
You're coming off so sure
