Binary Memories
02:30
|
|||
closed down eyelids
sun cross way down low
sink and slide through
never was so broke
in the end I touched your skin
it never was so cold
photos fade soon
forgotten in some cloud
binary memories so far out of tune
someday I’ll be killing time
thinking of where we used to drive
dark roads when you were still alive
dumb fucks who wished it all our lives
in the end we’re lost again
we’re ashes in the light

Passengers
03:49
|
|||
once we drove through your hometown
now it’s like we can’t slow down
summer sang our favorite songs
she once was a true love of mine
so there was this old house once
we lived there with some friends we lost
dreamed I couldn’t see your face
the focus was all out of place
listen we were right once
but life makes us all wrong
she was only your love
you were both passengers
she was only your love
we were only passengers
winter sang our favorite songs
she was once a true love of mine
I want the other things
the storms the nights the strings
I want the other things
to be alone

I don’t know know anyone like you here
I don’t care anymore who sees me here
I don’t see anything to fade near
I don’t know anyone like you here
fall underneath
roll the scene
(fall underneath the scene)
I don’t know anyone like you here
the road is camouflage and goes for years
roland and madison were friends we knew
they stopped to sing a song and passed straight through
I was a sentimental man but don’t tell anyone
you’re the answer the end is not for me
you’re the center I’m ever drifting free

You Are Just Not Alone
02:34
|
|||
so empty and not in the center
some strong tea and alcohol
you are just not alone
sit still and try not to vanish
some sentry hiding all the secrets
we’re so happy not to know the rhyme
you are just not alone
in the middle of all our safety
there’s a symbol of all our maybes
things we tried and ones we didn’t
loves we’ve lost and some we’ve hidden
some stranger blocking all our vision
you can’t see or even make decisions
weighed downward between the falling bodies
you face upward where all the sky uncovers
you are just not alone

Maypole
03:56
|
|||
so low we can’t get no higher
so cold we can’t feel the fire
so long you’re way past too tired
go home we misplaced desire
we can dance all the same
and forget all our names before dawn
hold on to someone tonight
lonesome we pass through no light
disassemble our bones
the empty walls of our homes forlorn
sometimes you get lonely there on the moon
the earth looks so lonely from there on the moon
maypole around which we fall
dizzy and drunk with the sun
befall we once were the young
we shrunk we once were so tall
but those were the days
the world was our stage and our songs

Origami Letterbomb
03:54
|
|||
tilted mattress broken chairs upon the ground
folded like some origami letterbomb
weightless smiles and sunday drives to madison
silver night when holly tries to settle down
you never doubt all the way down
your darkest star just went out
sunstroke actress got distracted singing songs
heatstroke mistress dressed up painted diaphone
you settle down
it’s not that far
you settle down
on kenesaw mountain climbing down
sun in the horizon winding down
cannons and some statue from the civil war
you caught us in some backslide suicide

Never Like It Always Was
03:53
|
|||
two of a kind save your prize
made of silk to twist your will
two of a kind
once were the same lie
who left the lights on?
broke in two to save you
we were all lost in our worlds
who left the lights on?
race until it’s gone
memories killed and stalled
we are forgotten
who left the lights on?
none of us are home now
it was never like it always was
dissembled chain with no charms

Waiting For The Past Now
03:52
|
|||
so she lost her way
most days don’t last long
waiting forever for the past now
things will fall apart
we will lose our way
waiting forever for the past now
to sound the same we lie
to pass the time we try
homes and castle fall
silenced by our walls
sitting forever
until the past calls

A Monday Drug
03:02
|
|||
t’s like rain pouring rain
the streets will flood on kensington
the trees will fall
but best of all we’ll remain
she’s your love you’re her lie
a monday drug a sunday drive
you’re her love she’s your crayon
color things in
monday she won’t cry on the beach
waves won’t wash up over her feet
nothing watches over her sleep
it’s like rain pouring rain
rivers fly and stairways leak
the powers out
but best of all we’ll remain
it’s all waste of time
I guess the dead don’t lie
it’s like rain pouring rain
pouring down

Afterthoughts
02:07
|
|||
moving out through dimming light
soon we’ll all leave home again
and leave it to the afterlife
or some bones and skin
buried next to him
soon we’ll all stay home again
it’s moving out into the air
we were all just afterthoughts
or some never was
who never was again
caught up and out of luck it’s sinking in
we’re just some stolen parts replaced again
what I think and what I know
forgot again to just let it go
leave it to the afterthoughts
there’s no time to break or bend
circling as satellites
we’re all lost again
or falling through the air
