De-ignite, stumble backward and never step again
breathe in the nothing air
Magnify, the barren island until you just declare
“Bask in the nothing air”
Affable minds find affable tribes
dissidents find there’s nowhere to hide – alone
Where do you find yourself in the tide
Floating towards a life of disguise?
Incentive to stay: the pressure decays;
the strain turns malaise; In grace, you should stay
Out of your mind. All of it aligned. All of it aligned for good
Out of your mind. Swallowing the rind. Swallowing the rind for good.
All of it could be so far away
medicate the tempest and the waves
Playing the saddest ruse
Divide all the divine in you,
over and over, two by two
Like I do

Ghost Train

He stands by the highway
With his thumb out to me
And I pretend I can’t see him
But he’s all I can see
Oh, don’t ask him where he goes
When his mind’s made up and he’s on the road
You know I’ve waited so many times, for you to stay
Now you’re catching a ride on that ghost train
Fade into the night
Night ride
To live like you’d never gone
To be out here
Out of my head
Out of my shell
Out of time

Enough

No reason
The consequence
Walked right into an open flame
No reason
The consequence
Pirouette into the accolades
Didn’t you see me
Wasn’t it enough
This pure, unfiltered offering
To you it just wasn’t enough
All the dreams we had
They were serious
This pure, unfiltered offering
To you it just wasn’t enough
Reconstruct another mine
Put your weight into it
Then you try to live your life
Detonate to ruin
Now watch me
Now watch me float away
Didn’t you see me
Wasn’t it enough
This pure, unfiltered offering
To you it just wasn’t enough
All the dreams we had
They were serious
This pure, unfiltered offering
To you it just wasn’t enough
I can’t feel it all again
Every part of you
I can’t feel it all again
Every part of you

Arrow

It’s a season for falling apart
Arrow shot out of the dark
And we're trying our best not to fall
Leaders putting up their neon signs
Defend and defend it
And we’ll draw too
The spectacle unwinds
Traveling miles and miles again
Rallying all the sycophants
Give us space
From foul play
Calling for a change
Calling for a change
It’s a season for falling apart
Leaders putting up their neon signs
Defend and defend it
And we’ll draw too
The spectacle unwinds
While we fall apart, they monetize another human life
While we fall apart, they deify another parasite

Ties
I wish you knew how you felt
When you spoke with me about wearing your last name
We’re not breaking these ties now
But ties are all that I’ve learned to change
I’ll crawl out of my grave now
When you lay down your crooked blade
There were always contradictions
And I was left calling out your name
I was waiting for you
You were trapped in the fold
I was waiting for you
But the ties got hold
Wish you could believe me my friend
I could take it all away
No sense in playing pretend
I could liberate the pain
I was waiting for you
You were trapped in the fold
I was waiting for you
But the ties got hold
Tracing our woven history
Reaching into sinking ground
A martyr or a mystery
Nothing left to bind us now
Another weight has fallen to the ground
All that we’re gaining
All that we’re losing now
I wish you knew how you felt
When I wanted you that way
I wish you knew how you felt
When I loved you that way

Roses

Stop to smell the roses
All the roses smell like you
I can’t seem to focus
Paint myself inside the view
Bracing for a change
Petal fade
Walking in the sunshine
And we lose all track of time
I don’t stop to wonder why your hand feels right in mine
Bracing for a change
Petal fade
Fade
And I’m bracing for a change
Out on a limb where I was waiting
Figures in dust they were cascading
Can you see us
Wait and see us
Wherever I go
I take you everywhere
A libertine grove
A purifying maze
Wherever I’m going
I hold you the same
Wherever I’m going
The petals sustain
And I’ll be waiting
Shouldn’t I
still be waiting

This NYC quartet channels the anxious, experimental nature of late '90s-early '00s Olympia indie rock in their tense, rhythmic post-punk.
