Chandelier 04:19
From the light coming down from the chandelier I can see your shadow stretching on the floor It's enough to make a weaker heart disappear When I'm dying in your arms, oh my god, I want more Though I die, I want more... Though I die, I want more... Though I die, I want more In our hearts there's a sickness we can never shake It's a plague that's hidden deeper than our bones I've got something and I want you to participate When I'm lying in your arms, though I cry, I want more Though I cry, I want more... Though I cry, I want more... Though I cry, I want more And when you run, I'll be your suitcase And when you sink, I'll be your weight And when you fall, I'll be the concrete And when you sing, I'll be the rain And when you love, I'll be your hatred And when you sigh, I'll be your pain And when you bleed, I'll be your sickness And when you die, I'll be your grave

New Romantic 05:49
Love is a filthy trick hid up your sleeve slight of hand, oh I know you can do you think that I can't see? everything you've been doing crafting and perfecting my ruin all in the name of love... I don't want your kiss your fingertips I've had enough of this I am the new romantic I don't need your touch your secret grudge I've had enough of love I am the new romantic Paint your mask in colors oh so bright blue and red, I want you dead do you think that it would make me sad? all the years that I've wasted writing silly poems in your basement all in the name of love... I always thought that love would be something to cure the hurt in me why can't I ever stop and see just how bad you have fucked with me

Platonica 03:50
open all the windows in your house and try to get some air breath through your mouth, so if I kiss you for too long you'll disappear and then I'll finally sleep at night without these reconsiderations she's far away, but if you stay I might just trip and miss the warning sign with you here, it's nearly perfect but it's not a comfortable state I'm in, it's maddening it feels much more than just platonic a letter from my girlfriend came today she says that Dublin's great and that she's coming home before too long I wonder how I'll wave goodbye and then hello, while you're alone and I can't help but try to call you even though it's much too late for second dates or smiles that say too much at once

Put me in your head, into your bed Bury me beneath your weight, oh keep me safe Tell me when the river runs, when it's all done Show me how to make your heart a fucking work of art I feel so lost when I leave my room All those people out there If I wander too far from home Tie my waste to your hand so I can crawl right back again Stay inside my arms Never let me lose control Keep my borders safe from harm You are my last sense of security Put my finger where it hurts, where it burns Use your hands and don't be shy, don't wonder why Everything's under control, just play your role Show me how to make your love a motherfucking flying dove

the velveteen rabbit and the sunday whore lay they down on the bathroom floor they've eaten their hearts out, there isn't any more so don't be sad it's gone solemn sisters share a secret kiss between the stars, they don't dare miss ever learning that there's little more than this so don't be sad it's gone counting lashes instead of sheep falling from your eyes as you blink in your sleep wasted wishes I dare not hope to keep so don't be sad it's gone firefly in a mason jar burning through the night like a classic car when it's refracted it's not who you really are so don't be sad it's gone a country wedding on the avenue cars and cars go by, nothing you can do cut the cake and smile, the bride's already blue so don't be sad it's gone a two-size heart in a half-size space you store your love some other place she falls for it, you fall from grace so don't be sad it's gone the velveteen rabbit and the wednesday rain the hair she combs, the love she's made she wants to be your color, she's sick of being grey so just let her stay

Somebody sitting next to me Cries out a daydream symphony "Oh lord, the sky is falling down on all I see!" A second movement changes nothing but the key

Untitled 04:54
In the ocean of my heart Where the sun shines half as many days There's a place I've saved for you If you'd want to be with me beneath the waves I am often without words Full enough of what I really want to see So I shrug and hold me tongue Keep me close so I don't blush and turn to walk away If someday you want to leave If your love makes up its mind and wants a change I will wait right here for you Same thing that I've always done, I'll always do Again and again...

about

This album was made awhile ago and so I'm sketchy about some of the details. "Platonica" was recorded first, during the summer of 2006. The remainder was written/recorded through the course of my third year of college. I was still together with my college girlfriend and things were generally good. This is the record where I think I really found the "band's" sound. The sampling greatly improved, the beats became more original. I think the second-half of the record meanders a bit with the long instrumental passages, but sonically I think this record has some of my more interesting ideas. Sort of the first "real" Pickup Line album.
