Tell me something sweet, I’ll tell you what you want to hear I know it doesn’t matter but we’re supposed to lend an ear So throw something at me and we’ll see what it makes of you The waves reflect what you neglect Despite what you think, your words keep on killing me Despite the way they sink, there’s still some thrill in me They’ve all got their pieces just waiting for a chance to speak As the shadows show what you behold You think you’re talking simple but you’re not deceiving me Cut up with daggers – it’s the state in which you’re leaving me You’re sitting on the surface and I can’t tread anymore You’d leave me behind with no worries in mind It rots deep inside and I still can’t let it go We talk and talk in circles and I can tell it doesn’t show How could you notice if you keep on brushing by Ill step aside for you this time though And I’m sure You won’t be looking hear no more Chipped paint lies on the floor Just idle by, just idle by In this show You have been waging this old war And your steps lead out the door This time I let you go, oh I let you Question what you think, you’ll find that it’s not right this time These pictures in my sleep bring my feet to another line And as the clouds disperse, I finally remember how, the air in felt with an ocean swell As the breeze is floating I can feel the rays from the coast, Staring right my way it’s a man in an undertow He’s yelling at his shadows and he’s sinking into the sand, where will he go…Oh No!

I thought I saw you peeking through the window of my room. I thought I saw you leaving this behind, cutting loose. Everybody’s lookin down, it doesn’t have to be this way. Every time I find myself running off to hide with you. I never wanna be like them. It doesn’t have to stay this way. I thought I saw you climbing up the walls of the house. I thought I saw you jumping on the treetops in the yard. Everybody’s lookin down, it doesn’t have to be so dull. Every time I find myself running off to hide with you. I never wanna be like them. It doesn’t have to stay so dull. They sat me down and held my hand, the proper way. Despite the tiger in my room, I couldn’t say. They sat me down and held my hand, just come with me. I saw the staleness of it all, I’d rather be here with you. I thought I saw you making patterns in between the clouds. I thought I saw you waiting on a castle on the hill. Everybody’s lookin down, it doesn’t have to be this way. Every time I find myself running off to hide with you. I never wanna be like them. It doesn’t have to stay this way.

I know That everything we do here comes and goes The way it flows The way it goes And I see This force that takes things away from me Casually Quietly And we breathe But that’s not always going to be Eventually Casualty And we sit Up on a throne above the ground Let me down Take off the crown And I know you by now but I’m sitting here wondering what happened I should know you by now but I can’t stop tearing up what should let me be Do I know you right now sometimes I would do anything for what used to be And I’ve noticed by now that we can’t notice anything because we’re stuck in it. But do you feel the rain? Can you see the thickening window pane? Does it feel the same? And I know that everything has its time to go And the snow, it always melts away, I know The way it goes It comes and goes And no one knows

Runaway Girl 04:44
I’ve seen you here now once before Last time you we’re covered in snow Trying to brush the cold Thoughts all overgrown We left a trail of splintered wood I knew right then you were no good Hidden in the cold Blankets lined with wool Now you run to the Evermore It’s something that I’ll never know And all eyes turned towards the stage Who is there to blame? Gazing off to the skies between Words on branches, covered and green And your face it never changed When the Owl called your name I’ve seen you here now once before Last time you were knockin on my door And in some ways you wanted to be gone But those tears still came they couldn’t heal your scars Placed for you in drops of rain This roof still can’t cover your pain And our heads turned down in shame When the owl called your name With your last breath you were so unsure What happens next I won’t pretend to know I’m Crawling back between A fury and a dream Each step, is a thought, is a memory And even though it wasn’t love I’m crawling back between A fury and dream

Dinosaurs 05:16
And the moon it shines so high, Faces drifting, something comes To close my eyes Sent swiftly onto this ship, Set your sails, sweet salts Give me a sip An ancient day once ruled this dream But you are here as for me, Where will I be? And when I saw the creature appear, How could I know what he’d show? Now he is dear to me How could we know we’d meet the dinosaurs? Row, row, just row all your giant oars Take us to the lands that we can’t ignore As our eyes flashed into the past to a paradise How will it last beyond my wake? For goodness sake, for goodness sake, for goodness sake Oh how it felt like home Where the dinosaurs roam And you feel your own Oh how it felt like home Oh how it felt like home Oh how it felt And the moon it shines so high Faces drifting, something comes To open my eyes And suddenly I’m taken away Blurred perception keeps me guessing What is real. What is real?

Deep Diggin 04:35
You say you’re leaving But then don’t go away. Why don’t you leave me alone? You know I’m bleeding, You’re really tearing a hole. Why don’t you leave me alone? You say you need me But then you turn away, Why don’t you leave me alone? You say you see me But your gaze comes right through, Why don’t you leave me alone? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to feel Like you owe me something But I can’t stand still. Don’t break my heart, Oh please not now. I’ve tried to be alone But I don’t know how. You say you feed me But you’re feeding me bone, Why don’t you leave me alone? You say you’re breathing But your veins feel so cold, Why don’t you leave me alone? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to feel Like you owe me something But I can’t stand still. Don’t break my heart Oh please not now. I’ve tried to be alone But I don’t know how.

Father J 04:48
Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no I knew just where we were, You looked at the signs on the buildings. I’ll lead the journey there, You wait for the line to start moving. Don’t you see the gift I hold? I don’t chain myself to the future so, Come with me as the lanes unfold, You wait, you think time is the ruler. This light will always find me. Our end will always haunt me. And the way we burn is always gonna be, but I can’t sit back and let it swallow me. Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no I know just who we are, You look at the mirror on the building. I know just where we’ll be, You look at the lines on my fingers. As you know I will always turn, This pain eats the soul from the inside. I have seen the day we burn, It can change, we can run from the future. This light will always find me. Our end will always haunt me. And the way we burn is always gonna be but I can’t sit back and let it swallow me. Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh Father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no I knew just where to go, We fell through a hole in the ceiling. Time burns away I know, We sit in a bowl for the choosing. Why can’t we take back the reigns, It’s my life I will make my decisions. Now I see that we are bound in chains, It won’t change, we are tied to the future. This light will always find me. Our end will always haunt me. And the way we burn is always gonna be But I can’t sit back and let it swallow me. Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no Father J come to me oh Father J come to me Oh father J come to me Don’t come to me, don’t come to me no

The clouds won’t tell us what’s in store We were wrong in the past, but now we’re sure But you don’t ever listen, do you? You’re telling the answers to everyone And you know it’s evening because the sun But you don’t ever question the things we do. A pair of wings will get us there We know how it ends but we still don’t care And you don’t ever listen, do you? Avarice is on the loose Call me a fool if it’s your excuse But you don’t ever question the things we do. Now please don’t tell me it was all for fun ‘Cause you know this game is not the only one But you don’t ever listen, do you? So tell your kids it was all a lie ‘Cause we can’t understand if we’re rushing by And you don’t ever question the things we do. That night I was the rain coming down to the river A frozen mystery. I grew into the ground, I was rooted, A solemn victory. My feet were made of trees falling further down the shore. It washed up over me, I was part of something more. So here we stand doing nothing wrong Stuck in our ways with a ticking bomb And success is the substance we all abuse. Since we still dream we can’t be broke But our reasoning is such a joke And so don’t let the progress envelop you.

We all live a million lives And you don’t know what you’ll get Until you drift away tonight. We wake up a million times But we choose not to remember The different air we breathe at night. But if you wait for the moon to rise You can go to another place Where you can take off your disguise. Until today it never seemed so wise To jump into the river That we can see when we are blind. And we can give it a million tries But we still won’t find the city And so we build it out of lies. Sometimes I look for the different ties But I’m sifting through the dark. I guess I’ll sit here till I die. And I was a boy And you were the only one left with me, The city towered above us, we stole the streets just slipping by. And then it happened, You hit the floor, I sank down beside you, never been without you, The world crumbled into a blur. Simple days turn into troubled nights I wander in my head They haunt me from my bed And in this way, I sit between realities No need to question what was said Absorb it all instead

Outro 03:34
I found myself in a cold, dark emptiness Drifting through the chaos Smelling of fresh rain Everything slow motion All the landmarks, surrounding mountains, shimmering cities, All emptying into the sky. The cobblestones, bathing in red, holes warping in wild fashion I can remember the color, reminding me of her The buildings seemed to crumble to a distant waltz I wanted one last dance Her hands in mine Suspended in silence – in calm The feeling remained as we lost control She just faded away into the background Like everybody and everything else I think I will be there again I don’t know when or where Or maybe that was it The dance, that moment that seemed to last forever

For years we were living in different cities trying to still be a band and to maintain a five person relationship. That physical disconnect is a big part of these songs. They also deal with a different type of disconnect – the difference between what you perceive and what is really happening, dreams and waking life, personal experience and that of others.

We are indebted to so many people who have helped us with this project. Thank you to Sam and Jean, Theresa and Frank, Andrée and Henry, Orpha and Paul, Kelly and Becky who have all been unwaveringly supportive of our crazy road trips and missed family events.
