Glossolalia 03:34
lyrics

We'll meet up at ten Hit the streets and then This town's not gonna know what hit them By five, it's a ghost town Nobody around We'll go till they wake up and shut us down Waiting for our time to come Shooting stars, speaking in tongues Sparks of hope like lightning bugs One thundercloud turns drought to flood We know the Good Book A thing or two about right hooks We've never been shy about our looks Don't try to make us see We know everything That you're gonna say, believe you me Waiting for our time to come Shooting stars, speaking in tongues Sparks of hope like lightning bugs One thundercloud turns drought to flood A vacuum emptying my lungs This town's a song that can't be sung At least not yet, but someday soon We will figure out the tune Waiting for our time to come Shooting stars, speaking in tongues Sparks of hope like lightning bugs One thundercloud turns drought to flood

Ellipsis 03:06
lyrics
buy track
And the light from your window always shines into mine We're always awake at the same time Well, I guess that's just the way we are So close but always too far We were watching the fireworks on your roof Both of us pretending not to know the truth So we will keep the words unsaid And we'll just lie here like this instead Just across the street, but it feels too far From who we were and where we are We always promised to save the last dance But it passed before we knew we missed our chance Sorry about your boyfriend I never liked that guy But when I blacked his eye, everybody knew You were the reason why Everyone saw the fireworks except you We could never seem to ever light that fuse No finale leading up to the end Just silence on our street instead We were watching the fireworks on your roof Both of us pretending not to know the truth So we keep the words unsaid And just lie here like this. Just lie instead.

Lorem Ipsum 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Forty nights and forty days n the wilderness trying to find my way I'm not proud of everything I've done Just trying not to hate who I'd become I wasn't trying to break your heart I never wanted to, I never wanted to I should have told you from the start I never wanted to, I never wanted to Syllables like isotopes Breaking apart the late night waiting room hopes I could see my thoughtlessness had stung Before the words had fully left my lungs And I know the tongue is a rudder But this ship has lost its course I am trying to recover Before I lose sight of the shore I wasn't trying to break your heart I never wanted to, I never wanted to I should have told you from the start I never wanted to, I never wanted to (I didn't mean to)

Reprieve 02:40
lyrics
buy track
I hate to say I told you so But I knew how this was gonna go From the beginning, saw the end And it wasn't if, so much, as when I think I'm just gonna leave (I’m done just thinking about it) We can call it a reprieve If I come round again some day I don't think I'd know what to say It wouldn't be like it was before We're not the same, not anymore I think I'm just gonna leave (I'm done just thinking about it) We can call it a reprieve (I'll be fine without it) Nothing will ever be Like it was when we were seventeen

Sieves 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Slow it down, our time was running out But we didn't notice then Entropy will not catch up with me These nights will never end Hold our love in these hands like sieves But we'll scream till our voices give And it seems that even now in dreams I always end up here Like a ghost haunting the West Coast I'm gone but still stay near Hold our love in these hands like sieves But we'll scream till our voices give Still can't see that the choice is this To let go or to break our wrists (Stay young. So let's stay young) And it seems that even now in dreams I always end up here Like a ghost haunting the West Coast I'm gone but still stay near

Sharp Teeth Squared 03:36
lyrics

Instead of counting down the days Should have made the days count Yeah, I set every fire That I ever put out We couldn't see our hands in front of our faces The darkness that rendered us fumbling and graceless Also hid every flaw So wrapped up in the future tense Let it overtake my common sense Should have kissed the Bookcliffs But I kissed your lips Instead of holding my breath Should have been filling my lungs up Yeah, life can knock the wind out of you As you grow up At Cold Shivers Point, the snow blocks out the stars As it covers the windshield of my parent's car And so we buried youth So wrapped up in the future tense Let it overtake my common sense Should have kissed the Bookcliffs But I kissed your lips
