Ready & Waiting
02:40
|

|
& when it's over / when it's all said & done / the dawn will rise up / as there's another one // ready & waiting // & when you find us / we've waited patiently / to learn the reason / why we've been on our feet // ready & waiting / to break through //

Ceremony
02:58
|
|||
|
& now it starts again / as if it ever ended / we know how it began / unsure of our intentions / we took the thought & ran / through fields of indiscretion / your wish is my command / don't know if I'll regret this // & now its second-hand / we've learned through repetition / still we don't understand / the things we dare to question / fall to the floor & then / revoke our prized obsessions / covering my eyes, your hands / know I can't bear to witness //

Sentiment
04:40
|
|||
|
always tied to the unseen / something over there, somewhere in-between / getting closer to the other / gets us growing closer to each other // it's not what it is, it's what it seems to be / it's not what was said, it's what it means to me / it's not what I've lost, it's what is left of me / it's not who you are, it's who you'll always be to me // little white lies in the dark, we're not alone / little white lies in the dark that we're not alone //

|
my eyes deceive me once again / & once again, I cover them / so's not to see the day's pretend / again entranced in mise-en-scène / over our tiny heads / hanging haloes left for dead / the sun it sets & we'll forget //

Loyalty & Royalty II
02:52
|
|||
|
when we were young, we were loyal to the sea / our castles made of sand, we were spoiled royalty / but now the hours fall & we're buried underneath / a screaming scene of teenage dreams bleeding through our flooded halls // we lost our chance when the waves began dancing with the moon / I don't understand how our little hands built a future that fell through / with the changing tides, we were on the rise if we only knew / how our allotted time is not on our side & the good times end too soon // do you remember the salt water & the naked shores? / surely I do //

St. John's Wort
05:34
|
|||
|
I've lost my head again / always beheaded in the end / with flowers in my mouth / wish I could live without / they ask me 'what's the matter?' but won't eat from the platter / it feels like nothing matters / it all seems to get sadder // 300 milligrams, I don't know who I am / one pill three times a day, yet everything's the same / 900 milligrams, a day falls through my hands / still I don't understand & still I pretend / all that I don't forget is all that I'll regret somehow some way / someday things will change //

Lullaby
03:26
|
|||
|
growing smaller beneath the night / looking up at the darkened sky / knowing that you're by my side is all I'll ever need / thoughts are lost & the ashtray's filled / with dreams that died when my feet stood still / promise me that one day they will find their way to me // day by day in the blinding light / sunsets fade into the sunrise / my eyes deceive me frequently things are not as they seem / lost in thought as I wander through / all the things that I ought to do / promise me these things will lead to / who I meant to be //

Ruin
03:23
|
|||
|
gone are the days I grew to love, a haunting I embrace / everything fades in this day & age / ephemeral youth decays / I'd never ask this of you / maybe if you wanted to / we could dance like the tides in the pale moonlight / I know we are not new // slowly it goes as the days erode with time worn like a noose / kicking the chair from beneath my feet, I'm trying to break loose / hiding away from the sun / just look at the mess I've become / anyone will tell you but no on knows just how I've come undone //

Louise
02:50
|
|||
|
words don't say enough / & other things you know / I embalm every memory with smoke & clove / well you've changed your name & you've changed your clothes / & you remind me of someone I used to know / but I don't know nowadays / I watch my thoughts trickle down an unfamiliar face / & I try not to let it show / but I watch it slowly grow / steadily, I'm told, this will feel more like home // I called Louise & she told me about the rain / & that with patience it all will fall into place / an unnamed ship to an unknown sea said, "remember me" //

Mind
01:33
|
|||
|
you said you'd keep me honest / guess you didn't keep your promise / but I don't have the time / pay no mind // I found wisdom moving counter-clockwise / now it seems I've fallen behind / I guess I'm losing time / I guess I've lost my mind / I don't mind //

Curious
05:00
|
|||
|
you hold your breath till the faint / sound of the morning rushes the gates / & when we're found will we still hold / the truth as far as we can throw // if you ask what it meant / I'll try to keep it innocent / let's blame it all on sentiment / nothing gained, nothing spent //
|
||||

You Say Always
03:10
|
|||
|
every day you say always / & always say you'll stay this way / yet somehow it's not the same / still we watch the days erase / familiar faces soon replaced / with memories of yesterdays // children dream of future times / as time defines their place in life / I no longer recognize / memories of the life I've known / grow cold in stories left untold / you said always long ago //

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
