Pulse 04:44
Neon the edge glows Spark off the emeralds in my eyes Slowly the ink runs Spread into fractal designs The leaves are dead I’m gonna race you to the falls Warm me lava Down the night road it winds Pedal to the metal Like a pulse I’m speeding home And I hope the engines don’t stop running To the rhythm Like a pulse Hearts beating on As they’re ticking down the time Metric and electric and alone I’m speeding home Through a future paradigm To the rhythm Like a pulse Hearts beating on As they’re ticking down the time We won’t last long now Now that the sun won’t ever rise City below us Staring up and down and the stars The blood will flow Spread into fractal designs Warm me lava Down the night road it shines Pedal to the metal Like a pulse… (No chance living my life alone You were left, you were right) Cells grow, multiply Telling you that something’s gonna give In rows, stacking high Gotta know that something’s gonna give

Ten bucks down, take it on the chin Let them cook my corn while the lights go dim And I take my seat as the strings swell in On some fairytale of when she met him It’s a fucking bland, if I tell it true But they’re holding hands, as they always do Like an ampersand linking pairs of two Think they’re raving mad until I see you So the word is love To describe my pain Cause the pull is chemical no animal abstains Look at what I’ve done To secure my mate Coming close to lethal doses of the dope I hate So I clean my car and I comb my head And I pick you up at the time you said And I drive ‘cross town to the waters edge When the sun goes down, the sky turns red And the reason why it brings salt water to your eyes Is beyond my bent to understand Sure I made you sick or I made you sad But you don’t walk off and you take my hand So the word is love… We’ll eat and drink and share some laughs We’ll take and post the photographs We’ll pay electric, water, gas And build a fence around our grass We’ll raise a kid and wipe its ass To tend us when our eyes have glassed Inherits our collected trash And then romanticize our past

This Town 08:00
Ryland’s got the gear Grew up in the canyon With a seven-figure father-figure cloud raining down Met under the pier Looking like a postcard With his sun reflecting aviator eyes on the sky We’ll be legends in the history of this town Swimming in our backyard dreams We double down Santa Ana winds on Mulholland drive Blind what the horizon brings This is the life Whatever tomorrow brings This is the life Sammy’s got the ear Grew up by the airport With a pair of speakers stolen from a car on his wall Plug each other in Playing like the ancients End up on the pavement outside Musso’s bar on a star And we’ll emulate them Pour one for chill and Pour one for fearless Pour one to chase the pill of that feeds us Till needing reasons why says goodbye We’ll be legends in the history of this town Swimming in our backyard dreams We double down Santa Ana winds on Mulholland drive Blind what the horizon brings This is the life As the feeling fades we can relive memories anyhow But as easy as we say it is, it’s a struggle now Santa Ana winds on Mulholland drive Feel it on your top down skin to feel alive. Streetlights in a grid, skyline all around Pointing to the horizon. This is the town that we’ll be legends in

I’ll always see you Staring up from grassy ground With tears that look like Delaware You stutter as you gasp for air Whoa now, slow down Your confession kills me Think that you’ve done something wrong Some shitty kid said you’re too small You’re just a bit behind, that’s all Show them how strong The peace that I’ve found is ever lasting But keep me informed if something happens I’ll come I’ll be busting through the walls You’ll never feel alone Wrap you in my arms and I’ll carry you home I overheard it You talking to your dolls Repeating back the words I gave “Afraid is part of being brave” Can’t be more proud They warn how smile slays And they warn how quick it goes You’ll drive away before we know Already scared how fast you’ve grown Whoa now, slow down The peace that I’ve found my one real virtue But give me a call if someone hurts you I’ll come I’ll be kicking down the doors I will break their fucking bones Wrap you in my arms and I’ll carry you home

Dynamite 03:19
A Team Drafting in a slipstream Joking ‘bout some high beams Numbers there is safety in Aging like a red wine Vinegar cause you’ve had too much time This whole room needs a redesign Better bring the ladies in Dynamite Wanna dedicate it all Fire light Wanna feel it all the time Fills the night (It’s coming round to getcha) Pin my shadow to the wall Big and bright (Karma’s a bitch, that’s what you said) Burn the inside of my eyes Dynamite (It’s coming round to getcha) Back beat Thumping in backseat Bumping down the same street Looking like an alien Looking for a big win Sickened by thinking what might have been This crying needs some violins Better bring the ladies in Dynamite Wanna dedicate it all Fire light Wanna feel it all the time Fills the night (It’s coming round to getcha) Pin my shadow to the wall Big and bright (Karma’s a bitch, that’s what you said) Burn the inside of my eyes Dynamite (It’s coming round to getcha)

Peace in battle Saw you in a rainbow Of neon lights reflecting On the water Thought your were an angel You’re devil clothes a blessing Well, I grow ten feet high But I’ll grow wise someday Yeah, I know Take my time Cause you’ll be mine someday Yeah, I grow ten feet high But I’ll grow wise someday Yeah, I know Take my time Cause you’ll be mine someday

Let It Roll 05:05
Blurred blues and they’re spilling over Turn up Motown Pull one from the ice chest If it hurts that much Indecent your skin exposure Won’t you lie down Dig a different mindset Like a heedless touch Learn the hard way You’ve a soft shell Oh to be so young Baby if just one sweetheart breaks See that nectar hits your tongue Big blues and they’re spilling over Don’t you pipe down Screaming from the outset Like it hurts that much Well we can rock the airstream Over top of the bluffs Strip the cloth and let it roll Kick it off and let it roll Let it roll So good how bad it feels Slick streets shining with the downpour And spilling over now City, they designed it For the desert sun Spin out as we round the corner Don’t you slow down We don’t even mind it We just let it come Learn the hard way You’ve a tough sell Oh to be so cold Baby if just one sweetheart breaks It’s a heart of pure fool’s gold

Keep Calm 05:13
Keep calm and carry on Don’t panic when there’s no emoticon To express your depthless soul The whole phenomenon like the air It’s there and then it’s gone Butter in the batter you’re rolling Couldn’t imagine any brighter day Fellow’s gonna follow you blindly But he’ll be braggin’ how he got his way Haters gonna hoot and holler Wanting you badly or what’s on display Pretty as a picture you polish Only imagined, my way to say Keep calm……… Curse you here to Canada roaming Good in the abstract, bad as it plays Stuck behind the steering wheel Staring out at the asphalt and not at your face Too late to curate a collection That frames you seductive and insatiable Fuck it all delete it all Shedding your skin to save your soul Keep calm and carry on Don’t panic when there’s no emoticon To express your depthless soul The whole phenomenon like the air It’s there and then it’s gone
