my sensation of selfishness took a long time to go poor decisions from loneliness cutting me deep to the bone and as i'm walking past station hotel, i try to breathe knowing if someone finds me, they'll just see what's underneath i'm a proponent for being loose i'm axiomatic clues the change in my back pocket took me wrong turns for days i'm trying to express myself in a thousand ways making small talk and mixed drinks, i barely manage to save face under long hair and lenses i want to cut away i'm a disaster, a broken fuse comfortable under no roof my, how everything's better with your back against the wall biting as it sounds, i will soon be drowning in calls unpacking boxes and locking the door into my old room i feel i could stay here, lie down and avoid the news i'm the needle against the bruise i've got a thing for being used

Office Hours 02:56
outside of office hours, soliciting a distressed caller the power it's been out since late last year and i still know this is where it ends, while i'm stuck behind a fountain pen and it's sixteen hours til i can get home smashing up high rise apartments, i find excuses in the moment something past high maintenance design and chloe's supposed to call, i've been slowing my stride to just a crawl the subscript in my teeth is running dry i'm in bristol, i'm in boston, geneva flights keep me bound to motion cross-continential job's a bore oceanic green in an airport screen, it's telling me which time to leave i'm still packing away my things from last night i'm on shore leave, i'm surely thinking of all the things i couldn't be in detroit lights, drowning in gutters, no support, no guarantee nobody asks for my opinion, i'm just significant to me i'm dead and gone in iron sights, dreaming of someplace where i can sleep

Waterworks 02:03
saw you in a bathroom in a cafe in atlanta you were crawling up the walls behind my spine painting freckles black, taking nothing back you were cold and poisoned, slipping through the cracks this pointlessly planned attack made me aware of things i lacked a suitable defense against the rain and feathered backs still, i let you wait your turn - you're always slow at first i know you'll bring down the mountains if you try drip into something more comfortable just be sure to keep the well-worn pages dry there's no room for any growth without a little pain after all, what's the shower without the drain

Michigan 05:50
engine, forgive my sins carry them up in dashboard heat swallow the things i couldn't keep to myself MI is cold as hell and the snow stacks two feet deep so my shoes can't carry me to your house panic, still in my mind treating your skin like real estate something to keep the rain away from my head do i really need an escape, do i really need fake convalescence do i really know your face, and do i take the second train home draw the cracks in my forehead, line them up and fill them with your own thoughts it's the things i recognise that i have trouble spinning lies towards when i'm lost i need a panic button to call to waste my stupid time and i need a twin sized bed to lay that book you wrote for me down to rest right hand, drawing lines paint out cities in your palm, show me what the future holds across town left brain, analyse my crimes show me all the things i need to keep balance between me and myself do i really need a slow pace, do i really need to bring myself down will i ever see you again, walking past or driving back to my house wrap the wires round your wrists, and call it off while i'm still second guessing it's difficult to say these things when i'm not really sure about what i mean i need dividing lines to make some sense of where this died and i need a ballpoint pen to write it out across the notebook in your eyes i'm gone on the side of a road i'd sooner stop for you than figure out where to go

bio by James Cassar:

For a project accidentally named after a Veronica Mars character, Parker Lee leaves nothing to the imagination. In fact, the central mysteries hidden in No Good Mornings, the York outfit's second EP, are quick and honest. Vocalist/guitarist Jowan Mead broke his wrist while recording the EP, extending the process from weeks to months, a far cry from its scribbling solo project origins.

Mead is also quick to disclose his idiosyncrasies - slyly confessing "I'm a proponent for being loose" and "a disaster, a broken fuse" on opener "Station Hotel." The rest of the band - bassist Mike Gardner, Daniel Johnson on drums and vocals, and late addition Ben Woods on guitar - rounds out the couch trip while demons hop from city to city, from Bristol to Boston on "Office Hours" and a café in Atlanta on "Waterworks." Parker Lee yearns to not be landlocked on this release, their raw production values (courtesy of Yvette Pyke and Harry Volker) unleashed past the closed doors where the songs got their start in 2016. And while Parker Lee may not find solace in the morning, there's hope in the aftermath: a combination of harsh lights and tones accompanying this latest set of revelations.
