On Mars 06:19
What is this body to you? And what does this body do? how can I carry it? spilling over buying bruises for the sake of life How do you pray In a body that holds sound like a cave I wonder As my hands hold one another After you pray Am I folding my corners on a fault line Is my body weak or thin? And what does that say of my will? Do I bend to your every whim? Bruised in the motions of the gallant fils Ooh do you love me? Ooh just let me be Ooj do you love me? Ooh just let me be In a cave hands clasped Your words the sutures for the broken hymns Your breaks and spills, your bruises just still Tender for life, the marrow distilled Ooh do you love me? Ooh just let me be Ooj do you love me? Ooh just let me be

Sparse 02:35
This sparse a scene would have me fleeing Right to the edge of your vanity I know it's not how it's supposed to be Perhaps I'm just too vain to stop and see That it's me too me too me too me too I'll wait around to see you cause a scene Or drink yourself drink yourself stupid like you've been I know your heart's headed for the wrong But it's me, I've got to stay strong leave me too you would leave me too leave me too

What ya thinkin' What ya thinkin' Why can't you tell me? What ya thinkin' Do secrets cause a stir? Your mouth with corners turned down never looked worse Maybe our love was the curse Maybe our love was the curse Why can't you tell me? Tight lips sworn to secrets Have we reached, have we reached the end Has the circle formed it's edge Why can't you tell me? What ya thinking' do secrets cause a stir? Back knotted with memories your expression before you left me wild nights and the bends stomach bundled holding everything in Maybe our love was the curse Maybe our love was the curse Maybe our love Do secrets cause a stir? Do secrets cause a stir? Do secrets cause a stir? Maybe our love was the curse Maybe our love was the curse Maybe our love was the curse

Cupped in cold hands, My melted butter edges harden, bowed and round Clear, like water, circling My reaction is your move Soft lines will be guides for the next time I feel your mold But I don't want to be confined I'm trying to extend my thoughts into my limbs Move again Move again Well the cradle of comfort isn't so cold And the heat of hunger isn't enough

about

This e.p. was made over a period of a year while we resided in different locations. Ideas were sent back and forth and grew as we became more comfortable sharing ourselves in the project. Such a space should exist for all people to openly be themselves. This is for them.

about

V Olympia, Washington

V is a collaboration between HOSTXESS and Ajai. The project stems from a common adoration of the textures around us and attempts to frame these textures within the context of pop. In doing so, we allow ourselves to feel that we are not alone.
