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

So The Word Is Love
04:28
|

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

Carry You Home
04:44
|

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)

Ten Feet High
01:53
|
|||
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
