B i o g r a p h y
 (by James Christopher Monger)

Specializing in ethereal, introspective indie folk in the vein of artists like First Aid Kit and Fleet Foxes (with just a touch of Taylor Swift), Indianapolis, Indiana-based siblings Lily and Madeleine Jurkiewicz first caught the public's attention with a black-and-white D.I.Y. video for their first original song, "In the Middle," which garnered over half a million YouTube hits. The precocious teenagers' rich harmonies and penchant for crafting timeless melodies eventually led them to Asthmatic Kitty Records, where they enlisted the aid of producer Paul Mahern and bassist/songwriter Kenny Childers (Gentleman Caller) to help put the finishing touches on their debut EP, early 2013's The Weight of the Globe. The duo's eponymous debut long-player arrived later that autumn. In 2014 the sisters entered the studio to record their more expansive sophomore album, Fumes, which was released later that year. Their third full-length, Keep It Together, continued in the direction of more complex arrangements without disturbing the directness of the duo's vocal delivery. With Mahern again in the producer's chair, it was issued via New West Records in early 2016.

Sounds Like Somewhere

Someday, I'll find the right words
I will belong or I will wander
Somewhere over the mountain
Under the great sky I'll be all right

Someday I'll find the right words
And I'll bloom where I was planted long ago
Until then, I'll be waiting
Hoping to one day let go

Near the cider mill orchard
I stopped my walking along the path
The foot trails are hard to follow
And feeling hallow, I headed back
copy paste is killing the internet
Someday I'll find the right words
And I'll bloom where I was planted long ago
Until then, I'll be waiting
Hoping to one day let go

Someday I'll find the right words
I'll sing a song that sounds like somewhere

Devil We Know

April, I can hear your anger a-marching
Here it comes again
And the flowers will forgive your rage
And your barking, here it comes again

The grass is dying and the water comes to revive it
Here it comes again
The great whisper across the plains
Gives to thunder
Here it comes again
copy paste is killing the internet
There's a tree line somewhere nobody knows
We've been pining and now we're soaked to the bone
We've been pining and now we wanna go home
It's the devil we know

Lower the curtain, let the rain come down
Like a spirit, let it hit the ground
Come the memories, come the shivering cold
Let the rain fall, it's the devil we know

It's the devil we know
It's the devil we know

Nothing But Time

Sunlight shivers early light
I can't help it I'm alive
You brought matches, I'm on fire
Sunlight shivers early light

We got nothing but time
We got nothing but time
I can't slow down but I'll try, I'll try
We got nothing but time

Sunlight whispers into night
And we are stuck here, you and I
No connection and no light
Sunlight whispers into night
copy paste is killing the internet
We got nothing but time
We got nothing but time
I can't slow down but I'll try, I'll try
We got nothing but time

We got nothing, nothing but time
We got nothing, nothing but time
We got nothing, nothing but time
We've got nothing

Spirited Away

Remember when we sang
We made echoes off the green house walls
The harmonies we made
Are ghosts a-wandering these halls

Who wants you
Who haunts you

We are surrounded by such history and change
And like the ancients we are spirited away

The ceiling is the sky
The day is night, departed alive
There's water and there's fire
There's trembling and there's desire
copy paste is killing the internet
Who wants you
Who haunts you

Echoes dancing in my blood to some refrain
(Echoes dancing, how can we refrain)
Shadow take our places here in this ballet
(Shadows take us here in this ballet)

We are surrounded by such mystery and change
(Echoes dancing, how can we refrain)
Like the ancients we are spirited away

Who wants you
Who haunts you

Who wants you
Who haunts you

Disappearing Heart

Shout to the Heavens to the Sky
"Why can't I be what you want me to be"
I know that it's impossible, impossible
But I can dream

I'm not you
You're not me
I tried my best
But this is all I can be

I found it hard to break your heart
It's made of stone after all
But that's no excuse for me
To loose myself in my love for you
copy paste is killing the internet
I'm not you
You're not me
I tried my best
But this is all I can be

My disappearing heart will change her name
And we will never be the same as we once were
Now and again I find myself
Wishing the same old things
And remembering your words

I'm not you
You're not me
I tried my best
But this is all I can be
This is all I can be

And Tonight

I've run a long way to see
The rain a-falling
I've climbed up every tree
To hear you calling

And tonight I know there's no stone we can't move
And tonight I feel there's not much left to prove

I've come a long way to sing
Despite my ad-libbing
I hope you're listening
I hope you hear me
copy paste is killing the internet
And tonight I know there's no shore we can't reach
And tonight I feel there are no more lessons to teach
For tomorrow may bring those uncertainties
The fear's alive but it can't reach me

I've Got Freedom

I come calling at the stairs now
I've got leaving in my eyes
I realize you're just waking up
And giving to the rising sun

I've got something to tell you
And I didn't want to lie
But this is not a bitter goodbye
There are no tears left to dry
Now I've got freedom
copy paste is killing the internet
Free from settling
Free from wasting my time

Finally it's right before me
Maybe it was always here
My mind has never been quite this clear, my love
Maybe I will keep in touch
I've got freedom

Free from settling
Free from wasting my time
Free from meddling
Free from changing my mind

I've got something to tell you
And I didn't want to lie
But this is not a bitter goodbye
There are no tears left to dry
Now I've got freedom

Come to Me

If the sky was falling over us
If the ground below us turned to dust
Would you come to me
Would you come to me

If the song it had me overcome
The tremble low can sometimes shake me up
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
copy paste is killing the internet
If your heart is burning like the sun
(burning like the sun)
If it means that you will have to run
(you will have to run)
If it takes leaving everyone
Would you come to me

If the birds stop singing in the tree
Would you come to me

Lost Upon the Sea

Lost upon this sea
This is not a dream
Where were you when the waves swallowed me
Where were we

I kept all your secrets
I keep everything
The weight was too much and our little boat sunk
And you just watched it sink

And my arms grew tired of the strain
And my legs grew tired of the pain
copy paste is killing the internet
And let myself go under
Let my body leave
I was awake but I couldn't say your name
And you could not save me

And my mind grew tired of the strain
And my heart grew tired of the pain

Lost upon this sea
This is not a dream
Where were you when the waves swallowed me
Where were we

Goodbye To Anyone

We were not afraid
Of the mess we made
The silence as it grew
Did not phase me and you

Getting lost like a child in the sun
Looking for another place to run
We will not say goodbye to anyone
Or the ghosts that we are giving up

It's hard to set still
At this window sill
Watching it all go by
Watching it all go by
copy paste is killing the internet
And the porch swing keep swinging on
Long after your body is gone
Come the rain come the snow and the sun
And the ghosts that we are giving up

We were not afraid

Getting lost like a child in the sun
Looking for another place to run
We will not say goodbye to anyone
Or the ghosts that we are giving up

And the porch swing keep swinging on
Long after your body is gone
Come the rain come the snow and the sun
And the ghosts that we are giving up
And the ghosts that we are giving up

Paradise

Run away with me tonight
Let the moon bathe us in its light
Come on I'll take you to paradise, to paradise

Run away I sing in my sleep
All I've ever known are these tangled rhymes
I have only walked these streets
And everyone I know I have seen go by

Run away with me tonight
Let the moon bathe us in its light
Come on I'll take you to paradise, to paradise

I've worn out my welcome, spent all my time
I'm ready to live, not ready to die
How can it be that nothing's yours, and nothing's mine, mine
copy paste is killing the internet
Run away with me tonight
Let the moon bathe us in its light
Come on I'll take you to paradise, to paradise

You Got Out

My head's not right
I never speak the truth anymore
And all melodies grow old

What I wish I was made of
Isn't what I am
But we, we can pretend

So dark that night
You sang into that telephone
That song is something I can't lose

So dark that night
You lost the handle while I wrote this
I can't disconnect the tune
copy paste is killing the internet
Can't hear a thing except the sound
I'm trying hard to settle down
But I can't calm down
I let you in but you got out
You got out
You got out

My head's not right
I never speak the truth anymore
And all melodies grow old

Fumes

Fumes

Running on fumes
And secondhand shoes
Keeping me going

I know what I'm suppose to do
But nothing you say will make me
Stop moving

So far I've avoided the consequence
As for what's next, I guess I'll try to get out of it
Complacency is the currency
Good enough is enough for me
Good enough for me
copy paste is killing the internet
Nothing but fumes
Escape my lips
And I haven't realized

It's killing you
To watch me burn away
My ashes fly

So far I've avoided the consequence
As for what's next, I guess I'll try to get out of it
Your preying eyes make me terrified
But I'll just hide behind the lights

Don't expect much from me
Don't you pray, pray for me
Please save your pity
This is all I need
It's good enough for me
It's good enough for me

Rabbit

When you write your history
Leave mine a mystery
This slope is slippery
Oh my God
copy paste is killing the internet
Rabbit run for it
As if your life depends on it
Take all your promises
'Cause you're all talk

Somehow
I'm running out to stop the sound
I swear
You notice how to break this heart

Wonder up and walk away
Leave my coat, I'm staying
Down the hole a rabbit goes
Just disappear

Somehow
I'm running out to stop the sound
I swear
You notice how to break this heart

Somehow
I'm running out to stop the sound
I swear
You notice how to break this heart

This slope is slippery
Oh my God

Ride Away

Work by the window
Seeing the sun
Dance on the ground

Deep in your bones
Nobody knows
The treasure you found

Counting minutes
Rotating round, the Universe
If you're committed
Accept the gift
And reject the curse

Ride away
Ride away
copy paste is killing the internet
Age is to old
This is the day
We're talking about

Stories you've been told
Somehow, it's all clear now

Ride away
Ride away
Ride away
Ride away

Leaving home
All up to you
Whatever you feel

Time to let go
Heart on your sleeve
And hands on the wheel

Ride away, ride away
Ride away
(Ride away)
Ride away
(Nobody knows the treasure found)
Ride away
(Ride away)
Ride away
(Heart on your sleeve, and hands on the wheel)
Ride away
(Ride away)
Ride away

Can't Admit It

I called to talk late at night
And I'm crying
When I told you everything's alright
I was lying

I'm not so sure I want this anymore
And I'm not so sure I need it
I thought I knew what it was that I wanted
Beginning to think I was wrong, can't admit it
copy paste is killing the internet
I'm not so sure I want this anymore
And I'm not so sure I need it
But I'm worried that if I walk out that door
I wouldn't really leave it

I've never been one to walk through the fire
I'd rather jump from the top and flying

I'm not so sure I want this anymore
And I'm not so sure I need it
But I'm worried that if I walk out that door
I wouldn't really leave it

Cabin Fever

Well my fingers are numb and my eyes are twitching
He's whistling the end in the kitchen
As the telephone jingles and the snow turns to dripping
Riding here where everything is slipping
copy paste is killing the internet
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
I'm gonna run for it
Gonna make a run for it

All the dark eyes gone and he's still whistling
Dishes clanking and a copperhead hissing
Maybe I'm hearing things or nobody's listening
Baby it's a mess and something big is missing

Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
I'm gonna run for it
Gonna make a run for it

He's making a list and I'm checking out
Come on honey, let's run for it tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight

Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever

Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
Oh cabin fever
I'm gonna run for it
Gonna make a run for it
I'm gonna run for it
Gonna make a run for it

The Wolf is Free

Some crippling dream
I know whose fault it is
I know it isn't me

The wolf is free
I wanna chase him down
And drown him in the sea
copy paste is killing the internet
The innocents flock like sheep
Their efforts all in vain
The wolf is back again

I hope he comes for me
I'm not out running him
And I'm not gonna scream

I'm gonna follow him
I know his name
I know his name

The wolf is free
His eyes are narrowing
It is a scary thing

And some fears run deep
There is a change in him
There is a change in me

I'll put you to sleep
My fingers through your hair
Into your skin they'll be

Ten fingernails deep
And I won't let you go
You will not bury me

Hold on to Now

Life, life is fleeting
Let's not wait on meaning

Hold onto now
'Cause everything's changing soon
I don't know how
I'm moving away from you

Everyone says
Give it time
I feel like
I'm wasting mine
copy paste is killing the internet
Hold onto now
'Cause everything's changing soon
I don't know how
I'm moving away from you

Saw you just now
Eyes looking down
Come on let's get out of our heads

Hold onto now
'Cause everything's changing soon
I don't know how I'm moving away from you

Lips & Hips

Leave to find out who you are
Think about it
And you hold on so tightly
To the moment

Though it's permanent to me
I can see
My lips and hips are all you need
Lips and hips are all you need
copy paste is killing the internet
Drift apart a quiet split
Can you feel it
Keep your story on repeat
Is it true yet

Though it's mostly make believe
We can dream
That we still have our own ideas
We still have our own ideas

Leave to find out who you are
And I'll scream until it's dark
And it's permanent to me
Lips and hips are all you need
Lips and hips are all you need
Leave to find out who you are

Peppermint Candy

Peppermint candy
And a hand upon my gun
I keep it handy
I've never been the kind to run
copy paste is killing the internet
It used to hurt me
All your lies would get me so down
Now I can't feel it
I reckon you are just a ghost now

Where's my case
Gotta wash my face
Next stop somewhere between home sweet home
And a place unknown

Devil behind me
I can feel his breathing on me
Well I'm not hiding
I can hear his cold heart beating

Peppermint candy
And a hand upon my gun
I keep it handy
I've never been the kind to run

Keep my pace
Gonna walk the way
Next stop somewhere between home sweet home
And a place unknown

Next stop somewhere between home sweet home
And a place unknown

Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy

Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy
Peppermint candy

Blue Blades

Blue blades, sharper than knives beneath my feet
Graze my skin so fine but cuts so deep
I am banishing, I am drifting
You're so hard to find, you are shapeshifting

Blue blood's running down, it's leaving me
There's no bird singing now, the sky is empty
No color in the frost, just like a painting
A picture of my heart that no one's taking
copy paste is killing the internet
Blue bird's body lies and no one mourning
Nothing in his eyes, his feathers blowing
The cold air stings and with it comes a warning
The wind drips through the night and kills the morning

The earth is still, the chill does not affect me
The daggered dreams are over, no one wake me
This heavy sleep will never cease to be
The earth is still, the chill does not affect me

Keep It Together

Not Gonna

Cuts along your thighs
Melting together like
Milk and XY

Search for the right guy
Keep it together
Don't lose it like prom night

Ignore politics
Isn't complicates
Don't be such a bitch

Everyone's expecting me
To say I'm sorry but I'm not
No, I'm not

Keeping quiet's easy
And I could try
But I'm not gonna

Speak out
But not too loud
Fly far
But stay on the ground
Be fun
But don't fool around
Kiss me
Cut it out

Everyone's expecting me
To say I'm sorry but I'm not
No, I'm not
copy paste is killing the internet
Keeping quiet's easy
And I could try
But I'm not gonna

Everyone's expecting me
To say I'm sorry but I'm not
No, I'm not

Keeping quiet's easy
And I could try
But I'm not gonna

For the Weak

I'm scared as hell
At night I lie awake
I hate this place
You pushed me away
I'm not the bad mistake
That you won't face
I just want you to tell me now
How this is gonna go
Cause I'm sick of losing sleep
I want you to tell me now
So I just gotta know
Is hoping for the weak
You say it's love
But I've been working hard
Won't keep my mouth shut
copy paste is killing the internet
I just want you to tell me now
How this is gonna go
Cause I'm sick of losing sleep
I want you to tell me now
So I just gotta know
Is hoping for the weak
I just want you to tell me now
How this is gonna go
Cause I'm sick of losing sleep
I want you to tell me now
So I just gotta know
Is hoping for the weak
You say it's love
Don't feel like love to me
Just wait and see

Westfield

Driving home with you
Westfield, dark and blue
Feeling out in the open
Words don't need to be spoken
copy paste is killing the internet
I'm sitting next to you
It's 2am and you don't mind
You always keep your cool
And you're probably staying here
Talk about the next five years
It makes me feel weird

Driving home with you
Westfield, dark and blue
Feeling out in the open
Words don't need to be spoken

I try to make it fun
But it's no use
I know I won't talk to you for months
And I'm not sure where I'll be
I don't know how I feel
And it makes no sense to me

And when you don't know what to do
You always keep your cool

Driving home with you (always keep your cool)
Westfield, dark and blue (always keep your cool)
Feeling out in the open (always keep your cool)
Words don't need to be spoken

Chicago

Hot and heavy is the night
You surprised me in the city
I swear my heart melts
When you tell me I look pretty
copy paste is killing the internet
You hold my hand, I close my eyes
And swaying with the pines
I know that you are mine

Windy City lights
Are all I see tonight
And I'm blinded

It's been a while and I admit
I've been longing for you lately
It locks me up a little bit
Even if it's temporary

I see the moon inside your eyes
And it feels just like before
I'm still yours

Windy City lights
Are all I see tonight
And I'm blinded

Like the speeding cars
My head and my heart
Collided

Chicago
(You said we'd run away)
Hot and heavy
I wanna know
(To where? I do not know)
Where this is heading
Chicago
(You said you had a plan)
Hot and heavy
How far will this go?

Windy City lights
Are all I see tonight
And I'm blinded

Like the speeding cars
My head and my heart
Collided

Windy City lights
Are all I see tonight
And I'm blinded

Like the speeding cars
My head and my heart
Collided

Hourglass

Try to make the time go faster
Don't know what it is you're after
Please don't rush
Every second ever changing
Always a new record playing
It's too much

Rain falling hard and steady
Don't stop until I'm ready
copy paste is killing the internet
This is my hourglass
Let me stay where I am
Seconds pass through my hand
Fall asleep like the sand
And it's falling
And it's falling

Passing cars and nameless faces
Don't know what it is they're chasing
Leave me behind
I'm well aware that out my window
There's so many places to go
But all in good time

Rain falling hard and steady
Don't stop until I'm ready

This is my hourglass
Let me stay where I am
Seconds pass through my hand
Fall asleep like the sand
And it's falling
And it's falling
And it's falling
And it's falling

I'll turn it over when it runs out
I'll turn it over when

Seconds pass through my hand
Fall asleep like the sand
And it's falling
And it's falling
And it's falling
And I'm falling

Hotel Pool

We swam in the hotel pool, the chlorine burned my eyes.
Floating here next to you, under Colorado sky.
We swam in the hotel pool, said "Yeah we've made it for sure".
It felt like some new treasure that we didn't deserve.
So meet me at the hotel pool, and no it's only me and you.
We'll talk it up and smile, we'll act out the whole scene.
After climbing up the mountain, say we're California Queens.
Got eighty dollars to my name, I guess I'm only here to play.
So meet me at the hotel pool, and no it's only me and you.
copy paste is killing the internet
Meet me at the hotel pool, you know it's only me and you.

Smoke Tricks

To stick a trick that I don't know
I'm losing it but it won't show
Trying to run but I'm too slow

You tell me I should just forget
I know you know it's not worth it
Haunted by promises unkept

I know
This won't change
Talking
Is your game

Oh tell me more about your friends
How they don't feel but they pretend
???
copy paste is killing the internet
I'm disconnected and frozen
Just like the words that I've spoken
Rolling it up no emotion

I know
This won't change
Talking
Is your game

Oh and I have tried to be blind with you
Every word I say with wasted breath
But truer than you'll ever know
And I only really need to fix
How I waste all my time with stupid smoke tricks

Midwest Kid

Happy
Bored and
Sad at the same time
You'll go and get high
Crazy
How I
Feel so much older
Time screwed me over

We know we won't make it in the end
Keep talking about our white boyfriends
Do your best to forget about it
The miseries of a midwest kid
copy paste is killing the internet
Spending Friday nights getting wasted
In your best friend's basement
I know there's probably more to this
Well you know that I won't tell

We know we won't make it in the end
Keep talking about our white boyfriends
Do your best to forget about it
The miseries of a midwest kid

We know we won't make it in the end
(Bored and sad at the same time)
Keep talking about our white boyfriends
Do your best to forget about it
The miseries of a midwest kid

Small Talk

Incoming call
What do I say when he says
Nothing at all
Don't wanna fall
Into a world with no water
Ten stories tall

I know that you're not one
For small talk
It's hard to get across
Just what we want

Unsettling
Just how aware I am of
My heartbeat
Surrendering
If you're aware of me then
You better speak
copy paste is killing the internet
I know that you're not one
For small talk
It's hard to get across
Just what we want

Incoming call
What do I say when he says
Nothing at all
Don't wanna fall
Into a world with no water
Ten stories tall

I know that you're not one
For small talk
It's hard to get across
Just what we want

(For small talk)
I know that you're not one
For small talk
(I know that you're not one
For small talk
I know that you're not one)
For small talk

Nothing

Your words so smooth
Soft as velvet wrapped around me
And I believed they were true
copy paste is killing the internet
Everything about you
Made me crazy
All I wanted was your approval
And it wasn't easy

You know the way to my heart
Better than I know myself
And losing you would be harder
Than anything else
So I'll keep giving you all my time
What else can I do?

Cause without you
I'm nothing

Packed a bag
Took a bus up to see you
Early Sunday morning

When I arrived
There you were
Holding flowers for a girl
Who wasn't me

Your words so smooth
Crushed like velvet
As you told me it was over
You never loved me

You knew the way to my heart better
Than I knew myself
And losing you to her was harder
Than anything else

Since you left
I now know better
And I finally see
What you are to me

You're nothing
You're nothing
You're nothing

Canterbury Girls

Self Care

This can't be right
There's no delight
I know I'm hurting you too
I feel ashamed
When you say my name
Like there's somethin' I can do

I don't need this to feel
Like I've become something real
Your beautiful eyes and your blank stare
I can't make myself care

Holding my breath
Not there quite yet
Dear God, I hope it comes soon
Got too much time
To figure out why
I'm so unhappy with you

I'm sure you don't understand
Who the hell I think I am
Your beautiful eyes are sad and scared
But I can't make myself care

Where will I find the answer
To what you're dying to know
Am I wasting your time
'Cause I can't cope
Every kiss is perfect
But why does it feel like goodbye
I promise you I'll try
One last time

This can't be right
There's no delight
I know I'm hurting you too

Supernatural Sadness

Is it pain or pleasure
I'm dazed and confused
Promised me I'd feel better
But I only feel bruised

Heavenly host, body's a ghost
Isn't it nice not to feel
Supernatural sadness
Only every brought me down with you
Magnetic madness
Vision of a heartbreak coming true
And I won't be around
No, I can't help you out
Supernatural sadness

Misery is a blessing
Realized what I need
Though your love is depressing
Can't stay here and watch you bleed

Heavenly host, body's a ghost
Isn't it nice not to feel
Supernatural sadness
Only every brought me down with you
Magnetic madness
Vision of a heartbreak coming true
And I won't be around
No, I can't help you out
Supernatural sadness

Only every brought me down with you
Magnetic madness
Vision of a heartbreak coming true
And I won't be around
No, I can't help you out

Just Do It

A little less talk, a little more actin' on it
Got no satisfaction, I don't want it
I can't stay too late
Enough is enough, no, I can't quit
Too much wasted time, got it coming
I can't wait, time to play

Just do it, hmm
Just do it, hmm
Just do it
Just do it

Running so damn fast, sky is spinning
Turn and shift away, new beginning
Oh, you know me, too hard to please

Just do it, hmm
Just do it, hmm
Just do it
Just do it

It's making me, making me, making me, making me want more
It's giving me, giving me, giving me, giving me more
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be more, more, more

Just do it, hmm
Just do it, hmm
Just do it
Just do it
Just do it, hmm
Just do it, hmm
Just do it
Just do it

Canterbury Girls

Bought this sweater for a dollar
Feeling lucky in LA
Run around the town for hours
Past the edge of the day
Took the back way up the hillside
Ignored the signs that said, "Keep out"
If we're caught there's no way to hide
Will they see our glowing mouth?

Dancing moonlight muses all this time
I know there's a lemon but I don't feel it, not tonight
Soaked in sunshine, don't know where to be
But if you're doin' what I'm doin', then we're free

You've been telling me for months now
Not to throw it all away
Canterbury girls are heartless
But Tijuana boys just play

Dancing moonlight muses all this time
I know there's a lemon but I don't feel it, not tonight
Soaked in sunshine, don't know where to be
But if you're doin' what I'm doin', then we're free

And I don't know where to go
Maybe I should pack my things and leave
Move to somewhere warmer
Where the sun is always shining over me

Bruises

Covered in bruises, moving like an alien
Smoke is heavy on your skin
Slippin' on the pavement and dreaming it was raining
You wouldn't let me in

Covered in bruises
Yeah, I noticed your complexion
Looked at me and said
"Point me in the right direction"

I didn't wanna be the only one who gets you
But now you're holding me, telling me I'm no better

Looking at my skin, I don't know where to begin
Can you feel the fingerprints
Bruises don't convey it in, even run they fade it
They've been here ever since

Looking at my skin, I can feel the imperfections
Trying to be with you and I see all my projections
I didn't wanna be the only one who gets you
But now you're holding me, telling me I'm no better

And my trembling movements pass
And I still function
You said I was enough
And I felt nothing
And I felt nothing
And I felt nothing

Pachinko Song

I remember when you hit the jackpot
It was too absurd to be a dream
Running through machines, but they're like flashing
Had to step outside into the heat

I had never put much faith in karma
Figured I would live with all my sins
There is no escape from your discretion
Guess I never thought you'd ever win

I'm scared my bitterness, written all over my face
Takes over everything
I ran through Tokyo hoping to find the place
Where only I could be, but I never found it

I remember signs before I knew you
Warning me that this would end unwell
Little did I know that you would haunt me like this
I'm just trying to get rid of your spell

I'm scared my bitterness, written all over my face
Takes over everything
I ran through Tokyo hoping to find the place
Where only I could be, but I never found it
But I never found it

Thought I was over it, easier said than done
Quit fucking showing up
I ran through Tokyo but you kept calling my name
Pachinko parlor games

I'm scared my bitterness, written all over my face
Takes over everything
I ran through Tokyo hoping to find the place
Where only I could be, but I never found it
But I never found it
But I never found it

Circles

I'm running in circles
Still convinced every day is a chance to change
I don't know when I'll hurt
But I need to feel sad

Captive together for a little while
But it's not the same
Without you here by my side
In my life I feel strange

Got my body in a trance
Holding onto things I can't stand
I'm tangled in a dance with the man I hate
Oh, faith isn't my friend

Sunset over us
And it's hard enough as it is
I'm making for something more than neon lights
Tonight I need your kiss

Got my body in a trance
Holding onto things I can't stand
I'm tangled in a dance with the man I hate
Oh, faith isn't my friend

Got my body in a trance
Holding onto things I can't stand
I'm tangled in a dance with a girl I hate
Oh, faith isn't my friend

Can't Help The Way I Feel

Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel

You got me reelin' and I'm feelin' like it must be worth it
If you just call it how you wanted it'll all be perfect

Sitting pretty but I'm all alone
Guess that's just the way it goes, 'cause I

Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel

Something 'bout you makes me wanna give you more than I ever gave
I try to keep myself together but I'm losing it anyway
I change my clothes and my hair
My friends tell me that I shouldn't care, but I

Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Round up, it's so unreal
Can't help the way I feel

So get me something to hold onto
Tell me what you wanna do
You know I'm ready and I'm willing
What do we have to lose

Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Can't help the way I feel
Round up, it's so unreal
Can't help the way I feel

Analog Love

Let's meet at midnight, under that sign
Don't need remindin', just be on time
Breathing in, the smoky air
Clings to us but we don't care
Just love the feeling
'Cause now I got you here
Lonely nights just disappear
Starin' at the ceiling

I want an analog love
Something slow and sweet
Give me an analog love
Wanna feel the Earth underneath our feet
'Cause nothing ever seems like it will last
With every passing day moving too fast
I want an analog love

My disconnected wired-up brain
Needs to see you, needs to be here face to face
'Cause it's old-school, 'cause it's real
Do my best to make you feel hopelessly devoted

I want an analog love
Something slow and sweet
Give me an analog love
Wanna feel the Earth underneath our feet
'Cause nothing ever seems like it will last
With every passing day moving too fast
I want an analog love

Will keep on spinning till the world says stop
Till the needle drops
You're the one I want
The one I want, I want

I want an analog love
Something slow and sweet
Give me an analog love
Wanna feel the Earth underneath our feet
'Cause nothing ever seems like it will last
With every passing day moving too fast
I want an analog love
Love, love

Go

I know I'm to blame, I tried to play your game
But my shoulders down my arms fell loose
I hedged my bets, I had my reservations checked
But now I see that everything came back to you

Now it’s 5 o'clock and I'm drinking
For the hundredth day in a row
I said I wouldn’t leave so easy
But I know you wanna see me go, go, go

I let the flowers die
He said good things come in time
But good things never seem to comfort me
Even removed I say I'm sitting next to you
Like running isn't part of my identity

Now it's 2 a.m. and I'm thinking
'Bout the things that I was scared to show
I said I wouldn't leave so easy
But I know you wanna see me go
I've lost track of time but I don’t care
I’m just glad you finally know
I said I wouldn't leave so easy
But I know you wanna see me go, go, go

Nite Swim

Windowless Bedroom

I don't know why you hate me
Self-assured, drive me crazy
In New York, fall for anyone

Isn't it so exciting
Windowless bedroom lighting
Tell me more
You're the only one

I don't know why you hate me
Self-assured, drive me crazy
In New York, fall for anyone

Isn't it so exciting
Windowless bedroom lighting
Tell me more (Please, tell me more)
You're the only one (The only one)

Rolling Rock

I've been better off alone a long time now
Lights are on and I'm at home, curled on the couch
Promise I've a better tomorrow
I promise I'll do something new
You should know my mind sometimes wanders back
To thoughts of you

New Year's Eve out on the sidewalk
Get your hand on someone's rolling rock
I had a feeling it would hurt so bad
Stared at the ceiling, it makes it worse
But we both knew that

Hard to keep the motive straight for me lately
Push myself ??? for something sweet
Tell myself I don't really need it
But I still don't believe that's true
I would trade a lot just to hear the words you've never used

New Year's Eve out on the sidewalk
Get your hand on someone's rolling rock
I had a feeling it would hurt so bad
Stared at the ceiling, it makes it worse
But we both knew that

???
I had a feeling it would hurt so bad
Stared at the ceiling, it makes it worse
But we both knew that

No Part of Me

So impossible, but I didn't notice
Asked my friends if they knew
Been the best I can, keeping it in focus
Given everything to you

No part of me wants a part of you
Love me, then leave like you always do
What you never said when I asked you to
It's the same it's always been

So you're doing well, it's what I expected
Say whatever you need
I know you hate the things that I like about myself
Feels like my love for you's just sympathy

No part of me wants a part of you
Love me, then leave like you always do
What you never said when I asked you to
It's the same it's always been
No part of you wants a part of me
Love me, then leave like it's easy
What I thought we had was a fantasy
It's the same it's always been
Same it's always been

Cologne

I knew I was making a mistake
Nights are passing by and all I do is wait
Someone should tell me how this ends
Staying up till I can hear the birds again

Baby, please, call me soon
What was it that you said outside the hotel room?
And I need to get out more
Seems like the only pastime here is getting bored
And Cologne feels so far away

I still feel the way it felt
For a moment, saw you and there was nothing else
No proof needed, the surface you've seen
Amsterdam knows just what it has done to me

Baby, please, call me soon
What was it that you said outside the hotel room
And I need to get out more
Seems like the only pastime here is getting bored

Baby, please, call me soon
I miss the way you dance inside that smoky room
And I need to get out more
I always forgot what life was like before
And Cologne feels so far away
So far away

Nite Swim

I can feel you getting sick of me
I could feel it for a while
Hesitation touching everything
But I'm happy, boy, I'm fine

Nights got like a swimming pool
Water up around my limbs
Freezes faster when I think of you
No matter who I'm swimming with

Oh, I wanna know you better
But you won't let me in this weather

Fingers curving like depressing bloom
Sticking slowly to my skin
Love and hate have long been introduced
Still I push myself through it

Oh, I wanna know you better
But you won't let me in this weather

And from time to time
When I wanna get close enough to cross the line
But I can't move
I repeat to me
The syllables, so holy, always keep me safe

Oh, I wanna know you better
But you won't let me in this weather

Oh, I wanna know you better
I wanna know you better
I wanna know you better

Ocean Ave

It was my adventure, not yours, not yours
You just had to take it, of course, of course
Now I'm jealous, baby
That you survived the city without me

I fall in love too quickly, I know, I know
Jumping without thinking, I won't, I won't
Now I'm sick of it, baby, and you're driving me crazy
The city's getting louder every day I stay

Bus to the train, forty minutes, one way
Crossing the miles between where we used to be
And where we are now, it's funny how
I once thought that all of this was so easy
(Easy, easy)
(Easy, easy)

Finally found a way home
Ocean Ave is long gone

Now it's over, baby, and I took my heart with me
I really hope you're happy that you moved east
Followed my lead
Found what you need

Embers

I saw sparks fly on that first night
Didn't know where they'd led
Cheap pretender, stoking embers
Was all part of a plan

Moth to the flame
Can't look away

I didn't know how you'd leave your mark on me
Hard tongue [?], but I blow my memory
Cover my eyes to the pain you put me through
'Cause I don't want love unless I'm getting it from you

It's so water on my fire
But I take my time and build it right back up for you
Keep it burning for a while
???

Burn me alive
One more time
Burn me alive
One more time

I didn't know how you'd leavе your mark on me
Hard tongue ???, but I blow my memory
Covеr my eyes to the pain you put me through
'Cause I don't want love unless I'm getting it from you

I saw sparks fly on that first night
Didn't know where they'd led

Lost Boys

When the blue light is shining on you, then it's even clearer
I know you mind, but you won't ever tell me how it feels

You're just like Peter Pan
But I can't fly
Not without drinking blood to stay alive

And it's tragic
All the magic I don't see 'til it's too late

Baby, you know
How to wake up every day and say it matters
Got a strange hold on me
You know that I could leave a shadow
Everything I say I want for you
When we levitate like I can touch the moon

And it's tragic
All the magic that I see when I'm with you
It's tragic
The magic that I see when I'm with you

Back to the River

(The Weight of the Globe EP)

If only my feet could fall as fast as a heart does
I would be so long gone
But I'm stuck, stuck under your thumb
I can't get up
I can't get up, up I can't get up
If only my eyes could see as high as a mountain
Or wherever your heart's gone
But I have fallen on the bank of this river
I can't get up
I can't get up, up I can't get up
If only my heart could speak into this river
And you'd drink me up
I could be free of all these lonesome shivers
I could give myself up (give myself up)
We all go back to the river
We will all come undone
And there you will be, my love, with the faintest touch
And I will give myself up
Give myself up, up
I will give myself up

In The Middle

(The Weight of the Globe EP)

The river is white
It's tangled and dry
But I still remember you here
Swimming in the middle
A red bird sings
From the sycamore tree
Some kind of eloquent echo
I live in the middle
The shadows and leaves unlock my heart Just like a key, like a key
And bring you right back home to me
All of the years I have spent here I have never wandered
I live in the middle
The way you sing unlocks my heart Just like a key, like a key
And brings you right back home to me

Stuck on the Puzzle

(Blue Blades Acoustic Sessions)

I'm not the kind of fool
Who's gonna sit and sing to you,
About stars, girl

But last night I looked up into
The dark half of the blue,
And they'd gone backwards
copy paste is killing the internet
Something in your magnetism
Must have pissed them off
Forcing them to get an early night

I have been searching from
The bottom to the top
For such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming the lights
Like you're used to being told that you're trouble
And I spent all night
Stuck on the puzzle

Nobody I asked
Knew how he came to be the one
To whom you surrendered

Any man who wasn't led away
Into the other room
Stood pretending

That something in your magnetism
Hadn't just made him drop
Whoever's hand it was that he was holding

I have been searching from
The bottom to the top
For such a sight
As the one I caught when I saw your

Fingers dimming the lights
Like you're used to being told that you're trouble
And I spent all night
Stuck on the puzzle

I tried to swim to the side
But my feet got caught in the middle
And I thought I'd seen the light
But oh no.

I was just stuck on the puzzle
Stuck on the puzzle

These Great Things

(The Weight of the Globe EP)

The spirit is empty down on Carson Beach
Where you once sang to me

Now that I'm looking to the endless sea
The line that separates me
I did not cast into the deep
You say you'll do these great
You think you're so strong
But you're wrong
If I wait a little while maybe all these things
Will come back to me
copy paste is killing the internet
Just to be your collapse
What's the point in staying
Everything you're saying was only true to you
You say you'll do these great things
You think you're so strong
But you're wrong
I thought you could do anything
But I find with time I've changed my mind

Things I'll Later Lose

(The Weight of the Globe EP)

Ticket stubs
The movie was all of our love in one afternoon
The sun has bent and faded them
And just like us they're gone too soon
I have to ask what's the use
In finding these things I'll later lose
The dress that I wore in June
The way you walked free out of the room
The note you wrote, the way it spoke
And where it sits now, always in view
I have to ask what's the use
In finding these things I'll later lose
I can't find you darling
I can't find you darling
I've been hearing things
And I've been losing sleep
'Cause I can't find you darling

Tired

(The Weight of the Globe EP)

The late hour setting in
My eyes are wearing out again
Maybe I should go
But I don't know
Where should I turn
I'm so tired
The city seems much taller
Maybe I'm just smaller
Crushed by the weight of the globe
Is it worth it
I hope so
Where should I go
I'm so tired
Why can't I say good night
Where should I go
I'm so tired
