Water with Hands
03:52
|
|||
I’m overwhelmed by how little I feel
Limbs underground
Head under the wheel
If everything’s true then nothing is real
If nothing is true then everything is real
I can’t block it out
These cellophane blues
No circuit’s so small
Mind control is old news
Close your eyes before machine selves pour out
Cover your house with water and doubt
Water with hands
Water with hands
Look out
I can’t block it out
These cellophane blues
Wings over the moon
Mind control is old news
The swinging won’t stop
All these telephone shoes
Hit bottom at top
Sky Burial Blues
This unseen structure is a fantasy
The words you use will never make you free
You make me feel worse than I ever knew
I don’t want anybody else but you
I can’t block it out
These cellophane blues
Wings over the moon
Mind control is old news
The swinging won’t stop
Hit bottom at top

Headstand
04:01
|

Sunlight through the dust
Someone to make you understand
You can ask the rust
I’ve always been your headstand
And I know It’s been too long
And I want you back again
One more time in the warm jets
One more time in electric light
I’ll get my toaster, you get your shaker
This simulation’s about to meet its maker
And I know it’s been too long
It goes so slow when you can’t see
And now I know just what you meant
But the whole world says you’re bad for me
And I know It’s been too long
And I want you back again

A Lifetime of Joy
01:55
|

Here come the wild type droids
Sun burning deep in my eye
Forgot all the reasons why
You wear me out
You wear me out
Here comes a lifetime of joy
Feel the sun burning deep in my eye
Forgot all the reasons why
You wear me out
You wear me out

Submarines
03:44
|
|||
Last year the seeds had been sewn
The stitches all dissolved
Everything was going your way
But left you flattened in the road
The shape it took inside your head
The same shape inside of me
Empty hills a candy-cane sled
You always shake just before you concede
I don’t care
What you say
I don’t know
What you want
I can’t see
What you see
I don’t need
Whatever you are
A castle door on a shotgun shack
A ball of widows splashing on your back
Every fear growing wings
Every comfort taking flight
My last year was hopeless and down
I was so innocent before the plague
Now I feel like a brand new machine
every thought has already been played
I don’t care
What you say
I don’t know
What you want
Can’t live in
Submarines forever
I’m never going down never going down
Never going down

Bring Back the Sound
03:50
|

Can they bring back the sound?
The sound kept you breathing
Can something be found
To make this all go away
Malcontent
Boundless and raw
Loss of self
Misunderstood
Pride is lost
Innocence gone
A new crusade with
Endless applause
Fallen Sect
Scattered Unseen
Lost your way
In a fallacy scheme
Called to give
So you gave it all up
Shed the past so
you could belong
Malcontent
Boundless and raw
Loss of self
Misunderstood
Called to give
So you gave it all up
Shed the past so
you could belong
Will you bring back the sound?
The sound kept me breathing
Can something be found
To make this all go away

Mercury Mouth
03:33
|

Here’s the truth
I’ll never be the same
My need for you
Spans the suspense of the change
Beyond the jetty
One more bobbing head of hair
Beyond my vision
Paranoia left to spare
You are a liar
Shut your mouth
There’s nothing silver under your tongue
You are a liar
Daylight burns
There’s nothing golden under your sun
If not now then soon
I’ll wipe it all away
My need for you
Spans the slope of my decay
And now it's dawning
Like a flame finding Its sway
We’re starting to awaken
As the feeling goes away
The only words
That you hear now
Are from the unsane

Undecided
04:21
|
|||
Still undecided
On the flight back from Seoul
Your stories diverging
No exchange for your soul
I want to get out
Got to get out of this place
I want to let go
Got to let go of the race
I need to wake up
Make my way back to the moon
I need to go now while the ocean’s still blue
And nothing is real
Considered the options
And what to expect
With full obligation
No one suspects
I’ve got to wake up
Got to get back from the moon
You’ve got to let go
No one expects you in tune
It’s got to look right
No one can know what is true
Its gonna be just like the ocean is blue
Nothing is real
I want to get out
Got to get out of this place
I want to let go
Got to let go of the race
I need to wake up
Make my way back to the moon
I need to go now while the ocean’s still blue
I’m making it up
I’m building an alternate way
I’m killing the past
So that my body can stay
I want to confess
Want to reveal it to you
I got no control when the sky is still blue
And nothing is real

Long Division
05:11
|

You tried
But no one cared
The poisoned apple
Empty alone again
Nobody turns
Nobody stares
There’s nowhere to run
When nobody cares
I was wrong to ever doubt you
When you told me who you were
I know I’ll never stop from falling
For what I lost before
Before I won the war
You cried
But no one heard
Why can’t they see that
You suffer more than anyone
Nobody talks
Nobody spins
There’s nowhere to hide
And nothing to win
I was wrong to ever doubt you
When you told me who you were
I know I’ll never stop from falling
For what I lost before
Before I won the war
Before I won the war
The drama’s gone
This time
Its all a waste of time
you can’t fake this
And all the dreams you’ve left behind
will rise again despite you
Nowhere to run
Center of nothing
Nobody Cares
I was wrong to ever doubt you
When you told me who you were
I know I’ll never stop from falling
For what I lost before
Before I won the war
I wrote a song to every darkness
You showed me how to disappear
Even my enemies were closer
And made so much sense
Before I won the war

Bad Translation
04:44
|
|||
I’m sliding down the windowpane
Watching you watching me
They’re taking me away again
Hand from the sky
Silence from a friend
Earth was our last chance
But you want to pretend
We are hallucinations
We reappear each day
It’s all a bad translation
There’s something in our way
Watching me arrange your life
While you just collapse in mine
Dominoes and too much thought
And time
Earth was our last chance
But now it’s your blind spot
You were my last chance
But now I’m all that you’ve got
It’s all a bad translation
No one needs to know
You cannot trust your senses
But you can let them go
You cannot trust your senses
But you can let them go
let them go

Half Moon
04:40
|

Another vein through Ohio
The plains spilled out like oceans to the trees
Not a conscience for miles
We thought the locust cloud was honey bees
You said we’d give up tonight
No more revivalism
You said we’d come back down
A three wave hold down at Half Moon
Your tombstone dances when you try to swim
Now you’re only a ruin
Open your head let the tourists in
I thought we’d give up tonight
No more revivalism
I always thought we’d come back down
Every time you lose your mind a little
You start to feel so free
You can’t move
Your vital signs just scribble
Trying to end the dream
Every time you lose your mind a little
You start to feel so free
No one moves
Your vital signs all scribble
Trying to end this dream
No one wants to hear it
What time you’ve wasted
What trouble you’re always in
Now we’re all just ruins
Open up and let yourself back in
I thought we’d give up tonight

Failure Los Angeles, California
As otherworldly as Failure may often sound, the Los Angeles band is anchored by the distinctly terrestrial union of a long friendship between three musical allies. The band hinges on the interplay between Ken Andrews [vocals, guitar, bass, programming], Greg Edwards [vocals, guitar, bass, keys], and Kellii Scott [drums, percussion]. ... more
