So we come from the beautiful forever Where a thousand eyes are watching our dreams And as long as we can stay together When it’s harder than it seems If it’s harder than it seems Promises waiting, take a number twice Don’t know if they’re catchable or even if they’re wise So they went before us caught up in the light Everything in waiting till it all comes into sight

Don't worry you can't stop it Maybe it comes and it goes It's when you least expect it It's when you give up what you know If only we were foolproof And there was no chance to fall It might seem worth it at first Then come to nothing at all If there are no guarantees Maybe there's something to win If you can lose hold of yourself You might find some room to spin It's not the time to waver When you are handing out the rose You can't ignore the flavor Of bitterness that's been exposed If only we were foolproof And there was no chance to fall It might seem worth it at first Then come to nothing at all If there are no guarantees Maybe there's something to win If you can lose hold of yourself You might find some room to spin
3.
Keep your head down, tall man While you're making your booze If your eyes are open Then there's no excuse We are more than dirt and earthen matter Made of stars and golden wrappers Crossing oceans till we find ourselves Keep an open thinking While you're in your books Keep your honest taking Even if no one looks We are more than dirt and earthen matter Made of stars and golden wrappers Crossing oceans till we find ourselves

I take a trip on a phonograph To a time that will never come back Looking in to the far away Through the haze of time Through the disarray I put the needle on the record and zone Out in a split second I’m gone Reflection of sections played in my life From a past that’s long and gone Memories dance to the move Of the grooves laid onto wax Turn the volume up to ten And let the music take you back   To a time when life was good To a time when life was hard To a time when music simply helped you hold and carry on To a place we’ll never be And yet a place we never left And there’s no need for life after death Cause the music never dies It stays alive in you and I With heart and soul that can’t deny A force arrived when lyrics ride A rhythm sent from heaven’s sky LA-to-NY still farther East The only language we need for speech Is a harmony, melody, chorus, and cadence There’s no one we cannot reach so   Spin that record round and round And then bring it back come round and round Ridin' up high on top of the beat Ain’t nothing in this world that can take us down Bleed heart into this music, and it’s music till the dirt Mic to ash, track to dust, heart on wax, wax to earth I take a trip on a phonograph To a time that will never come back Looking in to the far away Through the haze of time Through the disarray Another chance at who I might have been I’m backstage and I take it all in Looking out through the stage door Did I miss again, did I miss once more?   Music is more than just rockin' and rollin' Music is filled to the brim with the soul and heart It’s deeper than skin, it’s deeper than flesh It’s more than units you sold It's history told, futures we hold A way that none of us ever grow old A way to let go our pain Or remember the things forever we want to hold   It's a force you cannot measure A power you cannot gauge By rounds of applause Or followers, fans, or plays Or places on charts Though my days may Be only vapor that passes Sand falling in hour glasses Long as the record keeps spinning Then I’ll be in heaven With life playing out on repeat everlasting

There are better things, so much better things Than anything we left behind Everything that meant something we cradled to ourselves Never thinking it would find an end Sifted through the hands of time We gave it all, we shared as if this moment Was never stolen, a moment frozen in time Everything we said we’d never let go till the end Turned out all in all to matter not So without negotiation, now left without any sort of station Almost damnation, a cloudy moment in time There are better things, so much better things Than anything we left behind
6.
When I get up in the morning With the haze of nighttime weighting The coffee maker’s empty The only sound is your love breaking As I’m groping for the walls And feeling for the fire I’d love to say I’d put you in the Past but there’s no desire I’m starting from the end And staring at this cancer When did it turn, when did it stop I’m searching for the answer And nothing comes with ease I’m stumbling as I’m fading I’m listening but I only hear The sound of your love breaking

Wanna 03:15
I wanna feel I wanna feel you Under the midnight moon Don't look away too soon I wanna see I wanna see you If there's a moment's wait Try not to hesitate I wanna feel you, feel you, feel you I wanna see you, see you, see you I wanna touch you, touch you, touch you Under the midnight moon Don't look away too soon I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna You

There are those who think that sadness comes in seasons But they've never lost a piece of their heart Not knowing the rhythm or the reasons Always on the verge to fall apart In a room without a view Feeling pain that's never through Ooo Could there be one more lonely than me Ooo Trapped in this awful clarity There are those who've lost the brightness of tomorrow And they're lost inside a world of their own Turning inward to a room that's filled with sorrow Saying no one knows the hurt they've ever known Ooo Could there be one more lonely than me Ooo Trapped in this awful clarity

Roll the dice Take a bet It's a choice you won't regret You're dreamward bound Dreamward bound It can kill The mundane Free you from the constant strain If you're dreamward bound Dreamward bound Don't be thinking everything be roses Don't be turning back when it is night Even when the door before you closes There's something to be said for Sticking out your head with all your might It's the simplest of things Grab the bat and take a swing You're dreamward bound When giving up ain't a choice Only you can raise your voice When you're dreamward bound Dreamward bound

about

Echoing influences as diverse as Bon Iver, Tears for Fears, Steven Wilson, X Ambassadors, Burlap to Cashmere, Simon & Garfunkel, and the Beach Boys, this debut record marinates rock, electronic, and ambient elements with surreal vocal layers to meld into lush cinematic songscapes.
