Star City

Thinking bout it
believed the future bright
back when we were
dumb kids
shaped by it
fed by all this time
carrying around someone
else’s dream
Taken flight
birds stunned with falling
Hoped, but I
always doubted
Taken flight
rolls out before me
and I feel so alive
that it’ll be alright
record skipping
play that song again
even the dust in orbit sings
with every word
the room was full of stars
she all harmony
and I lost myself
our dreams
kiss spinning moons
new worlds
we can walk into
I dream in darkness
dig out a bridge
we risk it all
for the chance of it
Taken flight
birds stunned with falling
Hoped, but I
always doubted
Taken flight
rolls out before me
and I feel so alive
that it’ll be alright

Come Back
03:47
|
|||
Ahh~
I walk along the
side of the road
the party debris
the shimmering mess releases
I flicker there in the pieces
We’re tied to each other
lantana licks the chain link
outside her house, the lights are on
I’m waiting for dreams to fade
I’ll never get used to it
aware of the cold that we made,
you trying to e-scape it
come to me like a song
come to me like you mean it
like you were here all along
come to me now i need you
(heart, heart it will ache)
heart it will ache
(I’m undone, come back)
Come back, come back I need you
ahh~
postcard destination
for honeymooners and jumpers
deliver me the prodigal
let tomorrow be possible
lonely prayers like pills
dissolve under the tongue
and shrug into your resolve
These things that we do to get by
we invent, and we pretend
will you ever change your mind?
I’m not ready for the end
come to me like a song
come to me like you mean it
like there is nothing wrong
come to me now cause I need you
I need you
(what, what’s left to take?)
What’s left to take?
(come unpack, come back)
come back. come back, I need you
Ahh~
come to me like a song
come to me like you mean it
like the devil is gone
come to me I still need you
I still need you
(I, I can’t exist)
I can’t exist
(two places, come back)
Come back, come back I need you
(whatever you did)
Whatever you did
(lie to me, come back)
Come back, come back I need you.

Nervous Riders
03:04
|

Windows ache with race calls
where there’s risk there’s luck
trapped in circles
can’t be fixed or touched
charmed by these invitations
these impossible worlds,
these invisible horses
Leaves us
nervous riders
nervous riders
ooh-
what would you say
if I let you speak?
I let you call my bluff
the phone rings on
faith slips and dives
It’s not the fall that hurts
But what could I be compared to these worlds
these invisible horses
Leaves us
nervous riders
nervous riders

Hounds
03:38
|

Last night was lit by impulse
One that I will remember
I laughed when you said that you’re
leaving for something better
hmm
walkin’ on water
cut in half
drown in the sun
cut in
your reinventions endless
I’ll keep belief suspended, and
heads riffs all jingle jangle
blow out your birthday candles
The strongman takes a fall
bite more than you can handle
The strongman takes a fall
you got get shit together
hmm
walkin’ on water
cut in half
drown in the sun
cut in
found yourself falling through
been chasing after myth
fleeting moments of
bliss
is all
eh hey~
I just released a single hound x 3
eh hey~
I just released a single hou-ou-ou-ou-ound
hmm
walkin on water
cut in half
drown in the sun
want it back
you ever wonder?
convince yourself
thought you the one
got it
I know the way
we’re stories without ending
and I’m still wishing you would stay

Won't Say That
02:54
|
|||
I’m sorry
I wish it were me
I love you
you can have one of these
And if you
survive yourself
hope there’s something left
no, I won’t say that
opening wide
the dark were prayers are fed
we beg the wrong
people to forgive
us
out here~
my head in my hands
an ocean to prevent
one-click air fares
No one is dreaming of us
the planes are asleep on their runways
wont you change that?
won't you come back?
the way ‘i don’t know’
opens like a wound
theres my love, my pain
I let it bloom
and I’ll never let you loose
you’ll never have to choose
and i wont go changing
said i wont go changing
He’s the one I love
one, one in a million
He’s the one I love
one, one in a million
He’s the one I love
one, one in a million
He’s the one I love
one, one in a million

Two Hands
02:58
|

It’s Tuesday
I can get no relief
flying out there
hitting on the street
neighbour waiting
he rates the girls out of ten
oh~
your two good hands
thinking now I understand
she is something you can’t handle
and can’t tie down
one pregnant
one polyamorous
fuck this she said
and left
you were my
‘i don’t know why’
love
oh~
your two good hands
getting too good at pretend
she is something you can’t handle
and can’t tie down
can’t tie down
my star fell just a little bit
can’t tie down
I’ll adjust but that is it
not enough
to quit
my mother
pulled a shark from the sea
cut her love lines to ribbons
all that happened
to me was you
your two good hands
never really stood a chance
she is something you can’t handle
and can’t tie down
to think they told me
to watch out for you
when I’m the one
poised to shoot through
my play wont carry
heaven snapping shut
your two good hands
thinking now I understand
she is something you can’t handle
and can’t tie down

Shoot To Forget
02:58
|

Hides behind the camera
So he can
Shoot to forget
I was just a postcard from the gift shop
Left by a tourist
And I’ve spent this long trying to pretend
That love don’t exist
do, do, do
I worry bout it
do, do, do
I worry bout it
Found an old photo of you in a suitcase
Words stuck in the throat
Gotta keep this little heart of mine
Full of air afloat
And there is no need to learn to swim, the
Beach boys have life boats
do, do, do
I worry bout it
do, do, do
I worry bout it
I try
To forget
Reach for the bright blue
There’s glass you break through
To let go
But the bird
Already
Hit window
Radio aches with that song we used to sing
Lovely little melody
If there were still a possibility
There’d be no tunes and no me
But I would’ve given it all up for
Your love, your jealousy
do, do, do
I worry bout it
do, do, do
I worry bout it
I try
To forget
Reach for the bright blue
There’s glass you break through
To let go
But the bird
Already
Hit window

First You Leave
04:00
|
|||
Been a while
we were in love
won’t forget the
feeling of you leavin’
never really left
I was more
than enough
now hours
fly by full of waiting
for the staying
there is no rest
First you leave
Then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know?
In the city
through wet dark
yeah I heard
you're a star to somebody
No I’m not gonna to beg
I can’t shake it
I still hear
your shadow humming
that is the cost of believing, come
Just come and run your hand down my legs
First you leave
Then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know?
You tear up at the memories
no matter that it isn’t real
the bubbles in your blood are sinking
First you leave
Then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know?

Flamingo
03:12

You keep changing your address
new move every misstep
wet arrows on your skin
crying all night at pain within
don’t know if you’re chasing
or running
Saw you go
walk into a drink and disappear
follow me
follow me
afraid trouble finds you
bad idea
Last I seen was a photograph
you half boy, half cigarette ash
how much can a person change
under this weight, still stay the same
who you see when you look
in the mirror,
is it you?
we don’t want it to be true
follow me
follow me
afraid trouble finds you
bad idea
restless cities don’t know, don’t know why they’re hurting
restless cities don’t know, don’t know why they’re burning
restless cities don’t know, don’t know that I love you
restless cities don’t know, don’t know why they’re hurting

Wrong Number
03:31
|
|||
Must be the wrong number
of an ordinary man
all the things you should’ve known
now you want to get high and forget
city, ocean, dial tone
the silence it spreads between us, and
You keep running
to your burning house
you do it to,
you do it to yourself
There’s so much to remember
promises shot through with doubt
you don’t need to give me answers
just send me the mountains you dream about
You keep running
to your burning house
you do it to,
you do it to yourself
And I’m waiting for the call
We invent and we eavesdrop
Waiting for the fall
You keep running
to your burning house
you do it to,
you do it to yourself
you keep
holding a flame to your heart
And I do it too
do it to myself
