Coming Attractions

You can’t
Raise my memories
As your own
Double talk
You can’t distract me
From reality
Walking alone my life is a seaside
Coming attractions won’t take you to the real ride
Walking alone my life is a seaside
Coming attractions won’t lead you to the to the good life
You can’t
Raise my memories
As your own
Come and go
I’m not your hotel
There is no vacancy
Walking alone my life is a seaside
Coming attractions won’t take you to the real ride
Walking alone my life is a seaside
Coming attractions won’t lead you to the to the good life
Wasn’t in the dark
lost my love
For all the things
that swallowed me whole
I remembered a time when I was enough
And now you know
I won’t be waiting up

Harsh Lights
03:45
|

|
Hold on I’m terrified
Access has been denied
Harsh lights neon stare
Don’t retrace what was never there
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
Hold on I’m terrified
Access has been denied
First come isn’t who gets served
And you’ve got a lot of nerve
I stepped into
Harsh lights!
Can you recognize me?
Can you still see me?
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
You see me now you don’t
Crossed arms at the green doors
Oh you gate keepers
Stopped screaming to be let in
I’m staring out of screen doors
With my party favors
Don’t tell me where I end or begin

Copper and Blue
03:30
|

|
Jump into my car
You know I would take you anywhere
If there was some place to go
Hijack gravity
Dis-remember the weakest possibility
Headed nowhere
I wish the days were long
Not sorry
To those who paid to let us down
Admission
We are getting out
Jump into my car
You know I would take you anywhere
If there was some place to go
Hit pause to retrieve
A little sense of dignity
Fragments on loan, but not for long
The trees sway
The streets are barren fields
Celestial
To be where we are
Copper and Blue
Ignite my way back to you
Copper and Blue
Ignite my way back to you

Just as New

Repetitious view
Out walking around
I’m walking the Nile for you
And I’ll never be found
I’m walking the Nile for you
And I’m never found
I’m walking the Nile for you
And I’m never found
I know a girl who’s blah blah blah
Not the same but analog
Slight of hand and blah blah blah
Won’t remember when I’m gone
On the line here
What I see in you
I’ll get by
I will
Get away from you
Just as new
I remember the sound
Out walking the Nile for you
I follow the sound
I walk in denial for you
But then I turn around
I walk in denial for you
But then I turn around
I know a girl who’s blah blah blah
Not the same but analog
Slight of hand and blah blah blah
Won’t remember when I’m gone
On the line here
What I see in you
I’ll get by
I will
Get away from you
These waters don’t run deep
In this concave pond
I will be the one who takes the heat
When I’ve stayed too long
I’ve stayed too long
I’ve stayed too long
Face value
In my pockets were stones
I’m walking miles from you
Empty to be filled now
I’m walking miles from you
Empty to be filled
I’m walking miles from you
I remember now

Alarm Bells
03:08
|
|||
|
La! I can’t hear you
I don’t say a single word
Can’t pretend you don’t know
La-ah! Can’t be near you
Just you try to lay me down
Doors shut and we all know
Alarm bells tonight
Ooh-ah-ooh-ah
Alarm bells tonight
Oh-oh
La! I can’t feel you
Are my hands even still here
Scrape me from the floor now
Alarm bells tonight
Ooh-ah-ooh-ah
Alarm bells tonight
Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
Take me away, take take me away
Take me away, take take me away
Far enough from your gaze
Oh when you see them run
Don’t chase chase chase away
Oh when you see them run
Don’t chase chase chase away
Shake me awake, shake shake me awake
Take me away, take take me away
Far enough from your gaze
Oh when you see them run
Don’t chase chase chase away
Oh when you see them run
Don’t chase chase chase away
Oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!

Dead Calm
03:37
|

|
I’m dead calm
Got my lifetime
I put it on
Got a lifeline
Dead calm
I hold the secret
I knew it all the times I’ve dreamt it
Alexandrite conjures morning light
I know it won’t be long
Set my other sights
To those morning lights
Tell me I’m not wrong
Got my lifetime
I put it on
Got a lifeline
Dead calm
I hold the secret
I knew it all the times I’ve dreamt it
Prism coral brights from the other side
No it won’t be long
Set my other sights
To those firesides
Tell me I’m not wrong
The lines you’re standing in
Last days
Fit it within
I lost my other chance
Done done done done done done done
Have you had enough?
En-n-n-n-n-nough
The lines you’re standing in
Last days
Fit it within
I lost my other chance
Done done done done done done done
Have you had enough?
En-n-n-n-n-nough

From Where There's None
03:37
|

|
Give me some
From where there’s none
Covered mirrors
But I’m still here
I’m still here
Chest is caving
I need air
Tip it back
Thirst for contact
I spilled that
It’s all on the table
Tip it back
Thirst for contact
I said that
It’s all on the table
Blocked calls
A blank wall
Uncovered mirrors
I’m still here
I’m still here
Busy waiting
For what’s not clear
Tip it back
Thirst for contact
I spilled that
It’s all on the table
Tip it back
Thirst for contact
I said that
It’s all on the table
Transactional kinship
The only cost is regret
Turn the flattery on
Doubt crept to the shore
Each and every hour
Turn the flattery off
The bar was so low
The bar was so low
My ears are ringing
Clap along to dreaming
Turn the flattery on

Trouble in the Mansion
03:00
|
|||
|
I turn on all the lights
In every room
It gives me life
No one’s slashed the tires
On your floating empire
I turn on all the lights
Woah-ho it gives me life
Trouble in the mansion
Pennies from thin air
I got what I needed
But I don’t end here
Trouble in the mansion
Now you’re in trouble
Trouble in the mansion
Now you’re in trouble
Trouble in the mansion
I turn on all the lights
In every room
It gives me life
No one’s slashed the tires
On your floating empire
I turn on all the lights
Woah-ho-ho it gives me life
Hand to mouth until it’s expired
Hand to mouth until it’s expired
Trouble in the mansion
Pennies from thin air
I got what I needed
But I don’t end here
Trouble in the mansion
Now you’re in trouble
Trouble in the mansion
Now you’re in trouble
Trouble in the mansion
If I survive tonight
I’m gonna write write write
And the headline reads
I still have your keys
And I’m not the only one

Party Dress
02:24
|
|||
|
Just let go of my party dress
I misunderstood but I heard the rest
I have no trouble coming clean
You’re a figure of speech, a technicality
Watch out for that girl
She lives in dreams
A toaster-coaster-roller, never sticky sweet
So good, so good
at disappointing
So good, so good
that I grew a spine from nothing
Sweet, Oh sweet nothing, sweet oh sweet nothing
Sweet-sweet-sweet, Oh sweet nothing
Sweet, Oh sweet nothing

A Bitter Goodbye
03:11
|

Soft footsteps
They leer
Wrap around, I’ll see you out
Their voices
Unclear
Why do they still whisper loud
Oh what do I have to do
To sell it to you
Oh what do I have to do
To sell it to you
Could I take you down
Gonna take you down
Down, down, down, down, down
Soft footsteps
They leer
Wrap around, I’ll see you out
Their voices
Unclear
Why do they still whisper loud
Oh what do I have to do
To sell it to you
Oh what do I have to do
To sell it to you
Could I take you down
Gonna take you down
Down, down, down, down, down
It’s a bitter goodbye
It’s the end of the line
Get out of town, Out of my mind
Get out of town, out of my mind
Could I take you down
Gonna take you down
Down, down, down, down, down
It’s a bitter goodbye
It’s the end of the line
Get out of town, Out of my mind
Get out of town, out of my mind
