I've been freezing here in D.C These bitter faces have been slowly numbing me Can you bring the warmth from Cali. I'd wrap your gaze around me Melt this apathy I feel your presence in a microscopic way Knock me out with a shiver Pull me in through your breath Hold me close until the vastness comes in view 'Cause out here's been nothing nothing nothing There's a part of me that still exists in you That makes me feel like something something something We'll take a trip off to the desert The emptiness resembles me the irony Escaping influential weather Winds that blew us from the place we used to be I feel your presence in a microscopic way Knock me out with a shiver Pull me in through your breath Hold me close until the vastness comes in view 'Cause out here's been nothing nothing nothing There's a part of me that still exists in you That makes me feel like something something something Hold me close until the vastness comes in view 'Cause out here's been nothing nothing nothing There's a part of me that still exists in you That makes me feel like something something something

Hope in moderation They tell her it's all in jest Golden guilt and palaces Wait for her to rest To start again The jig is up A new angle To fill their cup Holy space cadet prodrome Sold the fuel to get us home Engines failed its looking grim Houston we've got a problem Holy space cadet has won Disregard how engines run Keeping faith in magic men Houston we've got a problem Why so mad it's all a test Your giving up this silver chest With silver spoons and rose perfumes You're losing faith we'll have to Start again The jig is up A new angle To fill their cup Holy space cadet prodrome Sold the fuel to get us home Engines failed its looking grim Houston we've got a problem Holy space cadet has won Disregard how engines run Keeping faith in magic men Houston we've got a problem Time to fill your cup Your cup Time to fill your cup Your cup Holy space cadet prodrome Sold the fuel to get us home Engines failed its looking grim Houston we've got a problem Holy space cadet has won Disregard how engines run Keeping faith in magic men Houston we've got a problem

Would you place your gentle hand Around the edge of the table so I don't slam My head might bleed these thoughts Stains of red clashing with our white t-shirts Can you hold these feelings Can I hold these feelings Can I show these feelings Yeah I'll show these feelings Hey yeah Quiet covers up a lot So I'll try moving These lips to make imperfect sounds Hey yeah Not being fine can still be fine So I'll try moving These lips to make imperfect sounds DNA in a microscope Hematologists display the strands of code Analyze all the black decay Cut away the fray What will the morning hold Can you hold these feelings Can I hold these feelings Can I show these feelings Yeah I'll show these feelings Hey yeah Quiet covers up a lot So I'll try moving These lips to make imperfect sounds Hey yeah Not being fine can still be fine So I'll try moving These lips to make imperfect sounds Just a practical smile With a practical car Drive at a practical speed While everything is on fire You said some practical things I'm taking practical notes We're forcing perfect life scenes I learned in fake magazines I learned in fake magazines I learned to fake Hey yeah Quiet covers up a lot So I'll try moving these lips to make imperfect thoughts Hey yeah Quiet covers up a lot So I'll try moving these lips to make imperfect sounds To make imperfect thoughts To make imperfect sounds

Track Shoes 03:47
I hope it all goes well I really hope you don't die alone With roaches at your funeral and hey At least you got it off your chest Like some virtuous accomplishment We're all so proud forget about it Where to go I can't begin So I Push these feelings Down again Blah Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on My track shoes on I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Stench is just a molecule Swept up from its host by the environment But careful don't get too close Oh no It's not you Must be my overly sensitive senses Clouding what must be true Where to go I can't begin So I Push these feelings Down again Blah Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Oh hey yeah sorry we haven't talked Oh it's been that long Yeah I guess I've just been super busy Weird how fast time goes Remember that one thing you did Yeah I can see why that would be harder on you Oh you've changed Oh wow good for you Really happy for all your progress Sorry we haven't talked I guess I just didn't know where to start Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Say goodbye I'm laying at the start with my track shoes on Is goodbye one word or two words Did I forget to turn the lights off in my room Man I really need to cut my fingernails I should probably grab some food before it gets too late Do I have clean underwear for tomorrow I really need to clean my sheets When does the store close It's so dusty on my desk

Powerlines 02:52
When you wake up Will the fog still hang from the trees When you wake up Will you see the blues pinks and greens I've got a car We can drive around if you please We'll drive through towns Just to see who we can be So let's go Let's go Go Go Let's go Let's go Go Go When sight and sound Smear to one wrapped inside a shroud I'll pull away all the cloth Whisper truths, paint escapes, we'll get out Avoid the power lines The hums influence our minds We'll take advantage of The inner thoughts that we find Avoid the power lines The hums influence our minds We'll take advantage of The inner thoughts that we find So let's go Let's go Go Go Let's go Go Go Avoid the power lines The hums influence our minds We'll take advantage of The inner thoughts that we find Avoid the power lines The hums influence our minds We'll take advantage of The inner thoughts that we find

Fade 02:33
We'll fade away with someone Someone we can hold on Make all of the days run And take our breath away We'll fade away with someone Someone we can hold on Make all of the days run And take our breath away I'd fade away with you I'd fade away with you I'd fade away with you I'd fade away with you We painted a picture With colors we like Hung it on a blank wall To make it bright And as the years went by It shown its wear But when we walk by Can't help but stare Oh man it's something It's like we knew what's coming Worth even more words now that it's aged A start from nothing Faded not forgotten Made it through the changes that we made We'll fade away with someone Someone we can hold on Make all of the days run And take our breath away I'll fade away with you I'll fade away with you I'll fade away with you I'll fade away with you I'll fade away with you

about

A fuzzy blend of indie pop combining psychedelic elements and beach-y harmonies from 60s pop, jangly excitement from 80s guitar pop, and gritty guitar fills of 90s indie rock.
