Oh darling of mine Where have you been? It’s been so long since I’ve seen you last You came back to say but never deny I came back to say that last goodbye You fooled me not just once before And I won’t be falling for a single more And I did You wrote me off like a stupid boy And I won't be played like another toy And I did And I did The days are getting cold and lonely The river’s freezing and the serpent’s calling The creeping chill of a cave it darkens The time is marked and a season harkens You came back to say but never deny I came back to say that last goodbye I left that empty corner store For a place I’d never been before And I did A place so very far away So very far away from you From you Get left on the back end We can talk but we won’t stop Until we said Fools find love for regrets Like ghosts playing fools in a castle We sing and we dance and we play One by one we just all fade away But my queen, she stays Like souls keeping count of the tolling We wish for the comfort of friends One by one we just all fade away But my queen, she remains We all fade away We all fade away We all fade away My queen she has no use for no one Like low, we were nothing at all Day by day we would just fade away And my queen, she stays Like dark she was gone in the morning Made her loves want the lightest embrace Day by day we just all fade away But our queen, she remains We all fade away We all fade away We all fade away Getting lost in my own castle I don’t what to do I don’t what to do We all fade away We all fade away We all fade away

When I get you alone, reality hits I can't call your phone cause you're calling it quits I feel it deep inside, but I don't want to know Find place I can hide and avoid the show I'll hunt you down in a little while But I'm fine for now, while you're gone Cause I've got time just to mess around Time to relax, now that's gold I spend most of my days doing magic tricks I spend the rest of the nights playing pick-up sticks Bring the light of day to the dead of the night And then, And then I wouldn't have to fight I find myself in the meantime Then I find where else I could go Cause I'm not happy wearing a fake smile And doing whatever else that I'm told I spend most of my days doing magic tricks I spend the rest of the nights playing pick-up sticks Bring the light of day to the dead of the night And then, And then I wouldn't have to fight Little while I'll be softly sleeping Little while I'll be heading home Stop the child from rashly speaking He knows not where he's chosen to go It was the dead of night when it hit me I found out that I was wrong It’s the fight of life that moves you It's what makes your house your home

Pretty Mouth 04:04
I’ve seen you walking down the street Won’t catch me talking Your lips are looking cherry sweet Please be my darling I’ve seen how Solo gets the girls And it is time to try it out Hey listen baby You’ve got a pretty mouth You’ve got the looks You’ve got the style But most of all I love that smile Domain Specific Language, or Digital Subscriber Line You know just what I mean, girl Don’t waste my time I need to taste those flaming lips They've got me burning up inside I’ll trade my heart just for a kiss Your mouth's on my mind You’ve got the looks You’ve got the style But most of all I love that smile I cannot handle this no more Stuck in a jungle heat Your lips have got me on the floor And I refuse to be discreet I want you back at home with me If you need love I’ll give it now Wait—come back here baby I love your pretty mouth

Hear the crash of the millionaire On the morning news Millions mourning, they're in despair What else is new I know I'll never be like them Predict the weather you think you can From the evening sky That's how they did in the days of old And never questioned why I know I'll never be like them I know I'll never understand Dead ends appear before your very eyes Following plastic paper trails You fall, you sink, despite how hard you cry Like the untreasured nightingale Friendly exchange between sunken eyes It takes a tiny toll What else more could you want for your life? You silently suck their soul I know I'll never been like them Find yourself at the bottom Please don't be surprised The grounds of fate you've forgotten Planning your disguise I know I'll never be like them I know I'll never understand Following plastic paper trails Like the untreasured nightingale

Everything’s fine, I’m at peace The trees and the hills accompany me I can see for miles, or can I? Could it be? My eyes grow dim, they fade into the sea Stumbling, crumbling, I make my way I fade further to my fate All have left me all alone All to myself, nobody could have known How? How has this become I’ve gone missing up Up the ladder rung Far! Far are my future friends They couldn’t have made it Now! Now is time to end Out in the rain, soaking wet The vision clear has reset In a different way I see you pass me by The moments melting on river time I see a figurine behind the mist It's got stories to tell me of old secrets I reach out my hand for help Could this be that I brought this upon myself? How? I've fallen out of place Double vision Gone! Move through time and space Now! Now is the time to act I rise above the clouds I can see for miles and miles Up the ladder rung

about

This record could never have come together without some truly amazing people. Thank you to the Thygesen family, for their constant support and for not once kicking us out of their basement. Thank you to John Jordan, for teaching more or less the entire band how to play our instruments. To Elliot Polokoff, for your expertise and your guidance in making this record a reality. To Alec and Tina Witham, for all your musical advice, and for keeping Philip's ego firmly in check.

To Sam Pura, Donald Scully, and the rest of Panda Studios, to our friends and families, to Chipotle's and Starbucks franchises everywhere, to Nathaniel Skinner, to Elizabeth Schaffernoth, to the good folks who developed Garageband and Dropbox, to Kevin Carafa, to every graceful horse and majestic tiger out there in this world, and to many others--thank you.
