In and out is the way That we breathe A fixture beside me Confirming my need Within us we hide All these deeds we're about I'm up and I'm in Down and you're out These words move faster Than the air we breathe

Twenty odd years I was stuck in a daze Pulling on fixtures to get through this maze Changed all my numbers and grew out my hair I couldn't escape, I was already there Well I lost my way; she said "that's okay" The future don't matter outside of today She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound" Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground Don't look down, don't you make a sound Don't look down, baby, don't look down This morning I woke and I couldn't see my face I tore up my memories, did not leave a trace I'm stuck with these numbers and losing my hair There's just no escape when you're already there She says "it's okay, don't we all lose our way?" The future don't matter when it's time to play She said "don't look down, don't you make a sound" Don't look down 'til we're back on the ground Don't look down, don't you make a sound Don't look down, baby, don't look down

Going Down 03:29
Every day it stings Left me with these broken wings We don't sing, we're just livid Circumstance, it thrums Cholera inside me runs It ain't fun, but we're livin' Forgive me But I'm not the one That you said I'd be This ain't what I bargained for Forgive me But you're not the one That I thought you'd be Now what's behind that door?

Tell me what you want from me Little ones I'm too bored to play Don't you know That I've gone away? Little ones I'm too bored to sing Don't you know That this don't mean a thing? Tell me what you want from me

Redline 04:31
I'd love to crawl inside your head I curl up in my own instead It's just gravitation, this infatuation, she said Don't you quit 'til I'm dead This anticipation is a squeeze Inside my head and between your knees It's your imagination, this maturation you seize Only losers say "please" Oh, let me curl up in your head The things inside my own are dead It's all anticipation, my imagination, she said

Baby, don't you know I've gone away But you're all wrapped Around these gears Dreamin' that tomorrow is today And honey, do you think The world's gone by? But don't you look at me You're only growing Older 'til you die Close your eyes You're only growing older 'Til you die You're only growing older Close your eyes Baby, don't you know The world's okay But you're all stuck Inside these tears Wishin' that your life Would slip away And honey, do you think You've seen the sky? But you're the same as me You're only growing Older 'til you die Close your eyes You're only growing older 'Til you die You're only growing older Close your eyes What's up is down Baby, don't you know The world's okay Baby, don't you know I've gone away

Discredited 03:35
This desert is a waste of space You've got me here locked in place So tell me, what is it gonna be? Is all this a game? Are you playing with me? She says he's gonna come for her She holds her breath Don't you know it's true Some day she's gonna come for me Some day he's gonna come for me Everybody is a waste of space You hold your breath But you know it's true Nobody's gonna come for me He doesn't give a damn about you She wants these words to be true I want you here with me But you call this therapy You wanna spin my world around This ain't the first time I ain't gonna back down He says he's gonna come for her She holds her breath 'Til her face runs blue Some day he's gonna make you see Some day she's gonna set me free She says he's gonna come for her Nobody's gonna come for me I want you here with me

I keep telling you, baby I'm just a fool Such an easy game When you don't know the rules I know we're gonna collapse When I get to the top And I wanna put it away I just can't stop We all fall down Such a silly game We both like to play When you wanna hold me close I push you away Sometimes I feel sad I don't know why 'Cause I never thought I'd ever get this high We all fall down

about

The Shivers is my second album. I've been writing and recording for about eight years now, and these are the best songs I have ever produced. Every single track in this collection has run through my head more times than I can count. I have bass lines, guitar riffs, and synth leads stuck in my memory from countless hours of repetition. I spent over a year making The Shivers. I hope you enjoy it.

about

Ian Marquis Portland, Maine

My songs are tiny ecosystems: self-sustaining, self-contained, intricate, and densely layered. I'm captivated by found sound and immaculate production. I sample my own work. I chop up my guitars and create arrangements I could never have played. I treat my voice like an instrument, pushing and pulling it in otherworldly directions. I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
