Sew It Shut 03:42
(1, 2, 3, 4) Never thought I’d let you leave so easy Running through my hands like sands of  Ancient history Left feeling unclean Another future it would seem But you’ll grind the world to dust With how much you’re missin’ me Sleep on the floor until you can’t see me As I revel and I ravel invisibility As I learn what pain to take kindly Watch you blind me I’m one track minded Alone again and again and again Running round as the record spins Catching thread in between your lips Sew it shut before your secrets slip Don’t you find the end of all so lonely? Peer through the cracks  To find myself lacking Never thought I’d be so far back in it I’ll watch you packing You’ve got a knack for it Alone again and again and again Running round as the record spins Catching thread in between your lips Sew it shut before your secrets slip Will I make it through tonight? Always ready for another fight I’ll be your Dylan Thomas  You’ll be my setting sun What should your soldier do Now that the battle’s won? Alone again and again and again Running round as the record spins Catching thread in between your lips Sew it shut before you start to slip Again again and again and again (hey hey) Again again and again and again (hey hey) Again again and again and again (hey hey) Again again and again and again (hey hey) Again again and again and again and again And again and again and again and again And again

From 16 to the grave she said As if I could ever forget I’m in the bloodless aftermath Looking at an end coming way too fast And the end of the world I know Is in my mourning and memorials I don’t want to grow up anymore Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor From 18 to eternity  Memento mori touched  I watch as black comes in every head rush  A little death thats just way too much And the end of the world I know Is in my mourning and memorials I don’t want to grow up anymore Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor Looking for redemption or reinvention In my sense of eternal adolescence A prescient calling or damnations claiming? Either way you know big things are coming And the end of the world I know Is in my mourning and memorials I don’t want to grow up anymore Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor Live out my days lying on your floor

Craving grand delusions and a hand I'll never lose Am I looking for the meaning In a faulty metaphor? But I'm working hard to find A time, a place, a different rhyme A different way to catch your eye Besides falling in line Am I out of this world Or just not meant for it? Looking for the answers To the questions I can’t know Let me live to regret it Turn all my dreams to resentment I fell in love With a bad idea Get it right the first time Or you don’t get it at all Am I placing made up meaning On a faulty metaphor? I need this to matter More than it should have had to My mistakes forever stain you  Make them something new Am I out of this world Or just not meant for it? Looking for the answers To the questions I can’t know Let me live to regret it Turn all my dreams to resentment I fell in love With a bad idea Even right between Nightmare fantasies And fetishized mediocrity I’m the best you’ve ever seen Predestined child prodigy The last day came Too fast for me Am I out of this world Or just not meant for it? Looking for the answers To the questions I can’t know Let me live to regret it Turn all my dreams to resentment I fell in love With a bad idea

Palm 2 Palm 02:49
If palm to palm is holy palmer’s kiss Then what the ever loving fuck is this I’m always the saint and the addict Devotion’s a drug that drives you mad It has a better rap than high I want you I want you What faith I had fell apart in your fingers As you buried them in the dirt Oh that I had wings Was a feathered thing like hope So that you would tie me down Nothing so comforting as the ground I want you I want you Even after you chose to shoot Laying me among the roots I want you I want you We were wrong from the start Torn apart until I could not recognize you Stars never spoke any prophecy Offerings went over heads oh ringing untrue I want you I want you Even after you chose to shoot I want you I want

Soot 03:49
I miss a home that I lost In the smoke n soot of fires I began You pulled me from the ash Like your own hand-built Phoenix I found my home but was forced to leave it Yet again after all we’ve done I’m fleeing far From where I once belonged Why would I stay here alone? Drive these streets you used to run Your shadow sits so pretty shotgun What home could I miss without you? Without you woah oh oh oh oh Without you woah oh oh oh oh W’oh w’oh w’oh w’oh Woah oh oh oh oh I talk a big game about living For someone who’s life story Revolves around my room Building mausoleums For girls in the ground We were water metaphors Beating you over the head Until we drowned In our own blood Carry sound and secrets even better The farther down we get Yet again after all we’ve done I’m fleeing far from where I once belonged Why would I stay here alone? Drive these streets you used to run See your shadow sitting pretty shotgun What home could I miss without you? Without you woah oh oh oh oh Without you woah oh oh oh oh W’oh w’oh w’oh w’oh Woah oh oh oh oh I get lost in this town of plasticine gossamer A mental map I have no more use for Waiting for first contact And your bright eyes to light up the black But you’re too far to understand Where and when that seam well it starts to rend Just me and the wheel beneath my hand I can’t wait to really see you again Why would I stay here alone? Drive these streets you used to run Your shadow sits so pretty shotgun But there’s nothing to miss here without you Why would I stay here alone? drive these streets you used to run See your shadow sitting pretty shotgun What home could I miss without you? Without you woah oh oh oh oh Without you woah oh oh oh oh W’oh w’oh w’oh w’oh Woah oh oh oh oh

New Years 04:22
The winter constellations are cold comfort for Another year spent alone Invisible fireworks make me imagine Orion calling me home A shout from too far to hear Or something never meant to be Understood in the first place Oblivious above all here at the end The fluttering in the distance comes much faster than The words you tried to tell me I’m more familiar with My own slow dance My celestial companions Showing me the steps No rhyme no rhythm Just a cheek pressed into my own hand I’ll hold myself as I turn toward the light Overdose on my own feelings I spent too much money on you So I could become somebody I’ve always wanted to be She can wait for you forever She drowns in electronic loops Instead of drowning in thought’s wide seas Death never scared me before It was more predictable Than any other fated future I don’t know when My companion turned so bitter Maybe she realized I’ve always been someone Unlovable by nature No boundaries no barriers I am a dam broken Coming to kill your entire town So revel at the end With your danse macabre I just want to see The fireworks one more time Before I finish the job If love is war then I am its patron god Constantly being ripped to pieces By the only thing that ever mattered to me So inhale your ether Ready to be put under my spell The ringing is harsher in your ears Than the bomb Bringing you to my table I want to burn brighter and faster than you’ve ever seen I want you to love my light only to lose it at the end of me I want you to sit alone and watch me explode Again again and again and again I will be empty at the end

To/From 03:52
(Woo! 1234) 5 to 9 9 to 5 You’re both screaming As we pass by highway signs My kick drum heart in my ears Making up for tears and lost years  Today on 680 North  Stealing lines and good times  From a life I don’t recognize Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Where have I been? Hitting my stride High-speed limits  And a bright sky wide Passing bridges in mountain towns  Maybe getting older is ok for now Today on 680 South Hi-hat heavy make-out pacts  Made whole again living to the max Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today And you’re the last Bastion Of high-octane local pop-punk You know I’ve Fashioned My world around my brightest sun We’ll move toward the light ’Till our redos redone And build a new world Out of all this Forgotten junk Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today Even keeled kicks and wildfire bells I want you all to myself Backseat lovers made ashy grey You’re the one thing I want today

about

Once upon a time, there was a very lonely girl who lived in many high-up places. These rooms of hers had roofs of glass that always let her see the sky and not much else. She spent her days lying on her floor and listening to the stars. They told her their stories and she dreamed of sharing them with a world she'd never seen. One day, a musician's song rang out from far below, their music drifting in through her permanently open windows. The girl had spent many days flat on her back, but this moment of connection was enough to get her up off her ass and see who was playing loud enough for even her to hear. As she called out to the world below, the musician began accompanying her as she told them her tale. This was the first time the girl had ever made something she felt was worth a damn. It was addicting. She made the dangerous journey down from her rooms, again, again, and again, and again, in order to start a traveling band with the musician. As they roamed the woods, the band began finding more friends who believed in the girl and her stories from the stars. Eventually, the four of them found themselves in a garage with a microphone, a DAW, and their first 7 songs to play for you. We hope you enjoy, and to be continued...
