Look Out
02:46
|

|
She takes off just one shoe
She walks through the house askew
The other one comes off upstairs
And later on she’ll wonder where it is
When she wanders out again
’Til she wanders out again
To underline her solitude
She makes her breakfast in the nude
Concentrates on sudoku
Pretends the voice she hears is you
(I was walking in a circle
around the room)
’Til she shakes it off again
(again and again, in time to the music)
’Til she gets a grip again
Look out instead of in
Look around instead of down
Look out instead of in
Look around instead of down
(And I could feel it in the soles of my feet
And I heard it through my fingers
And through my toes)
You matter and you don’t
You matter, then you won’t

Twitch of the Wing
04:24
|
|||
|
I think I feel it happening
In another world, that is this world
It’s not mine but I want to be there
I want to see where
Our shadow selves are sleeping
What secrets they are keeping
What’s it like to do it all again?
But take a different turn at every turn
One twitch of the wing
Affecting everything
Don’t think about the truth that is
The randomness that we exist at all
With every last trajectory
We never even saw the sun
For us, this is the only one
What’s it like to do it all again?
But take a different turn at every turn
One twitch of the wing
Affecting everything

Synesthesia
03:10
|
|||
|
Nothing felt is true…
It still jolts
The soft heart that decays under leaves
On the ground
That Telegram tick
Seven years of Pavlovian sounds
And it leaps at the sound
A cage of bones in the woods
A masked smile on the street
They’re both me
I hear what I see
I feel green as seven
Melody is blue
My hell is your heaven
Nothing felt is true
The numbers are cold
The colors are warm
I see what I feel
I hear what I see
It keeps us from harm
Raise the alarm, raise the alarm

Circles
03:52
|
|||
|
(I was walking in a circle
Around the room in time to the music)
I was walking in a circle around the room,
Around the room
I felt the music in my fingers and in my hair
He was talking in circles
I didn’t care, I didn’t care
I was a stranger to the city
I drove alone
He was from another life
But I had grown
I looked inward for the last time
And found my zone, and found my zone
I’m out of my mind and into yours
You’ve got to be blind to find the source
I’m out of my mind and into yours

The Lot
03:22
|
|||
|
I’ve been coming here for so long
It freaks me out, it freaks me out
So many years ago
When I was high, when I was low
It freaks me out, it freaks me out
Between these painted lines
Am I all the things I ever was?
Again I’m in this spot, in this parking lot
Does this place remember me?
The font has changed,
The storefront retains
Its cool and steady stare
Just as I do tonight,
I came here for my bread
Before I was broken by your love
I’ve been coming here for so long
It freaks me out, it freaks me out
Ten thousand free-verse poems
About the hunger we have known
It freaks me out, it freaks me out
The engine runs against the chill
The flashbacks stun and I am still

Iowa, Elysium
03:04
|
|||
|
Wind the violets in your hair
Mindless violence everywhere
It’s kind of quiet over there
Do you think they see us stare
Twist the wires to undo
The things you say I’ve done to you
Only half of it is true
Who will drop the other shoe
Turn up that sound
Keep what you found
It gets unwound
What if it were the other way around
Iowa, Elysium
The ties you cut so you could run
Horizon lines will steal the sun
Everyday when it is done
Setting fires as you go
Blaze a trail but just for show
Claim a name for us to know
The smoking fields again will grow
Turn up that sound
Keep what you found
It gets unwound
Whatever makes you feel safe and sound

Lorem Ipsum

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Full of tears shall be that day
When from the ashes shall arise…
Morbi dictum vestibule
Adi piecing pulvinar quem
Lacrimosa dies illa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Full of words shall be that page
When from the ashes shall arise
Full of tears shall be that day
When from the ashes shall arise

Machine For Living
02:09
|
|||
|
Painted figures on the wall
We watch our hero fall
A Cubist agression
A punished confession
The vandal forgiven for giving
A machine that’s for living
But her machine lives,
Her machine lives

Discard the King
03:21
|
|||
|
It’s only paper in your hand
The clothes don’t make the man
Government or lover
What can a suit cover?
Discard the king
It doesn’t pay to hold him
What did you think it would bring
Now that the light is golden?
Your hands are cold
And your finger falter
You can’t read your vows
From symbols at the alter
You got tricks, there’s an Ace in your sleeve
But a high card isn’t gonna set you free
No matter if he thinks the game is over
He’ll flip the table when he sees you bent the corner
The world is black and white and re(a)d all over
Symbols won’t bring you luck like a four-leaf clover
Government or lover
What can a suit cover?
Is this your card?
Did I just amaze you?
What’s in the cards for us
And does it even faze you?
Discard the king
It doesn’t pay to hold him
What did you think it would bring
Now that the light is golden?

No Days Off
02:49
|
|||
|
Lead them to water
When the day is done
Then feed the fire
To warm them for the sun
Blood, sweat and tears
Form their hands around the clay
Give them your best years
Give them another day
The lights are on
Adrenaline
Follow the leader
Turn on the lights
No rest for the weary
You’re up all night
The lights are on
The thrill is gone
No days off
No days off
Adrenaline
The lights are on
The thrill is gone
Adrenaline

The Edge
03:48
|
|||
|
They’re always falling
The edge is calling
Blind faith in a curved sky
But I’ll show you the big lie
Do you wonder?
Do you wonder?
Your life is vertigo
I’ll show you where to go
I’ll lead the way, just follow me
I’ll lead the way down to the edge
Just follow me
I’ll lead the way, just follow me
I want to look down on the stars
Just follow me
My life is a straight line
Our world is a straight line
We’re going to be fine
If we can stop in time
Do you wonder?
Do you wonder?
Don’t you want to see?
Run there with me
I’ll lead the way, just follow me
I’ll lead the way down to the edge
Just follow me
I’ll lead the way, just follow me
I want to look down on the stars
Just follow me

Slightly edgier offering energized to urban beats. A worthy addition to its twin album. Track 7 plays a close favorite on this one.
