refresh reload repeat
refresh reload refocus
i’m growing tired of all this convenience
and how these roadsign signposts mark
the years and miles down
why don’t they measure up to much?
rings around your eyes
come alive for you
don’t make me leave
‘cause i love it here
glowing glowing everywhere
anesthetize me
electric light it floats and courses all around
i can feel vibrations pulsing
i’m so plugged in i don’t need anybody else
why would i want to change?
hours on end we hide
from the life outside
recede away
inside yourself
i can’t just shut it off
but i can’t let it go
disappear into screens
what’s in the reflection?
and what is me?
i have myself to blame i’m sure
for getting stuck here in this feedback life

frame it with 2 hands and 4 fingers
imagine what we could be
this didn’t turn out quite like i had planned
if only you’d just look up
this message won’t be received by you
you bury yourself down into
the depths beyond quite ordinary
so this is me signing off
and it’s all too familiar
that feeling i get
i’m grasping for your attention
and it just goes unnoticed
i’m gonna throw it all away
until you notice
i’m gonna throw it all away
we wanted this
we wanted this for ourselves
we wanted this
we wanted this for ourselves
think of it like a math equation
we’re working on finding unknowns
that look in the eye or missing smile
the signs that that don’t always add up
the more we learn oh the less we like
that’s where the heart of these problems lie
please don’t let this one go undone now
so this is me signing off
and it’s all too familiar
that feeling i get
i’m grasping for your attention
and it just goes unnoticed
i’m gonna throw it all away
until you notice
i’m gonna throw it all away

had a dream about leaving town
woke up and it was gone
some day you never wake up
some days you just don't want to
these things they take away from you
steal the light right from your eye
and if the best revenge is living well
i'm not sure it's working out
i laid down and the days went by
no compass for this isolation
let's drown out the world in these headphones
but not the voice between your ears saying
"you are what you repeatedly do"
i don't know how to leave those days upon the table
these things they take away from you
steal the light right from your eye
and if the best revenge is living well
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out
i'm not sure it's working out

yesterday's parties

i haven’t seen in you in years
all that’s left are images
torn out pictures from a magazine
ripped away too soon
we both know nothing lasts
there was much more left to say
one score plus four is not enough time
to see this through
the signal’s still coming through
part of me is part of you
i don’t want to let you go but i’ll never really have to
your signal’s still coming through
part of me is part you
all of yesterday’s parties will always have you at them
we both know it to be true
all the past remains the past
it’s all that’s left of what you did
you’re just someone else’s photos now
the signal’s still coming through
part of me is part of you
i don’t want to let you go but i’ll never really have to
your signal’s still coming through
part of me is part you
all of yesterday’s parties will always have you at them
your signal’s still coming through
it’s all that remains
it’s all that remains
your signal’s still coming through
it’s all that remains
it’s all that remains
the signal’s still coming through
part of me is part of you
i don’t want to let you go but i’ll never really have to
your signal’s still coming through
part of me is part you
all of yesterday’s parties will always have you at them

signal loss and missing information
coming through the line
even when we’re constantly connected
we’re hanging by a thread
even when it isn’t all good
you’ve always got your best face forward, forward
can you even hear me
if I don’t say it through a circuit, circuit
I need, I need, I need you here with me
don’t let me go, go
and i’ll see i’ll see i’ll see this through with you
down to the tone, tone
I can sense your broadcast emanating
further every day
images appearing on the radar
and drifting out away
is there anybody out there
are we boat anchors out at sea, sea?
we’re taking on water —
sinking before we even notice, notice
I need, I need, I need you here with me
don’t let me go, go
and i’ll see i’ll see i’ll see this through with you
down to the tone, tone
no signal found
no shore in sight
grey on the horizon
kilo, kilo
fiber optic electric light
how can’t you notice
i’m on the ship deck positioning flags
foxtrot, foxtrot

it was the cold night air
the dew was on the grass
the sun it stung the houses on its way down
when i knew it was time to say goodbye
did you say it was fine?
or did you say the sun would never set?
it was the cold night air
the dew was on the grass
the sun it stung the houses on its way down
when i knew it was time to say goodbye
time stops on the street where you grew up
but around it life goes on
so one more swing and we’ll call it a night
so one more swing and we’ll call it a night

the march
03:34

i awoke and it was grey out
the stillness of it made me notice
it took a miracle to get here
but still i awoke
the system was down
i was left alone with my thoughts outside
when these outside thoughts come in
i'll drown them out no longer
let's keep our eyes ahead, ok?
21 days to make it nice
these cracks on the sidewalk tell me
i'm moving north
each white stripe falls in line behind me
i'm moving north and drying out
it's ok that the light's gone out
it's ok that the screen's gone black
restless limbs we hurl forward
on the march
let's keep our eyes ahead, ok?
stitch by stitch
step by step
we hurl our restless limbs ahead
it gets easier as you go along
there was sun when i awoke

trap us on a film and keep us there
let us everything else just turn to rust
put us in a frame that says to the future
we will go there together
and how these lights combine
to show us all we had and what we could not find
and how these stars align
the sun goes ‘round and the days go by
azul, azul
carry me away
take me beyond the bright long horizon
and though
sand gets in our hair
salt gets in our eyes
we’ll last forever
we’ll live on through photographs
let the tide just wash us out
let everything decay except for us
static to buzz
tiling to fuzz
we will go there together
and how these lights combine
to show us all we had and what we could not find
and how these stars align
the sun goes ‘round and the days go by
azul, azul
carry me away
take me beyond the bright long horizon
and though
sand gets in our hair
salt gets in our eyes
we’ll last forever
we’ll live on through photographs
