didja guess we'd ever meet
when ya split infinity
what's yur angle on that scene
let me in on your scheme
thick as thieves
now that's history
thru thin and thick as thieves
gotta trick my lungs to breathe
that thin air when ya leave
whatcha got up your sleeve
thick as thieves
now that's history
blink and it's history
now

Lost Track
03:35
|

|
thinking back to that cassette
car radio spat up well I suspect
that you still remember
yeah you still recall
remember each time I forgot
that pumping brakes won't make it stop
and that it's gone for good
and nothing I can do
muddy greases smear the axle
honey dragging through the gravel
wind it up just to unravel
so get it back, your lost track
ya nostalgic amnesiac
gotta hairline cylinder head crack
squealin’ tires on the tarmac
ba ba da de baba
get it back ya lost track
looking back down on myself
and all the words that I withheld
just lying there
no movement at all
present tense from past neglect
yur not the only one this affects
better find that song
well ya knew it all along
music made out in the static
headphones singing in the attic
shift it out of automatic
so get it back, your lost track
ya broken heart, cardiac
think ya smart, ya wise crack
betta turn it up, ya half stack
ba ba da de baba
get it back your ya lost track
get it back your lost track
get it back your lost track
get it back your lost track

About Time
03:30

about time
pre meds
post office hours
take a number
sit n spin
pencil in you a letter
time flies, zipped flies, zip codes, details, females
well who even knows
in a while
check the dial
crack a smile
about time
late fees
cough sneeze excuse me
under weather
no pressure
the film spun forever
clock wise, sunrise, no reply, count sheep
well it's second hand slavery
in a while
spin the dial
pretend to smile
for those days ending in ‘y’
how about why not
about time
phone book
flying off the hook
take a guess what
2 years ain't really that far off
locked knees, teeth freeze, fine form, dial your, number
ain't in service no more
in a while
check the dial
let it fly
guess I see it now
guess you changed your mind
guess I'm learning how
it's about time

Brainwash
03:56
|

|
the waters fine
let's keep swimming
it's been alright
since the beginning
is where it starts
they'll have you thinking
is where it ends
that's just making my head shake
weather report
stomach sinking
typhoons a coming
we've been drinkin
salty saliva
lickedy spitting
jumpin overboard
we'll be riding that earth quake
do you remember my brainwash
my thoughts scrubbed sparkling clean
a fresh shot of adrenaline
with your voice washing over me
ain't nothing quite like that sound
transmissions coming down from the clouds
then ya hear that 'lectrical buzz
and you know it must be true love
do you remember that planecrash
our black-box sealed waterproofed
rocking out the gnarliest grooves
till the thing ran outta juice
next morning, hung over and out
brainwashed without any doubt
stage a dive, still humming the tune
didja leave us or did we leave you?
didja leave me or did I leave you?
I still love you

Perfect Pitch
03:07
|

|
wake ya face, ya sleepyhead punk
wake to fake, that schoolhouse funk
skipping classes, fightin made up battles
forgotten stanzas from yur burnin' castles
kick me out your perfect pitch
sucking on a bloody lip
get a grip
ya lose your cool
and make a fool
of yourself
are you lost, ya jawbone slack
way ya paused, a heart attack
sputtered growls, leaving out the vowels
so long farewell, throwing in the towel
strike me out your perfect pitch
laughing at me sing and miss
the point of this
sharpened tongue
and just this once
try being normal
something is better than nothing
nothing is better than you
you want nothing to do with me
you want nothing to do with me
laughing at your "perfect" pitch
you can't measure whatcha missed
but here's the twist
you have no class
and this will pass
thrown off a cliff
so clench your fist
and now release

Piece of Mind
02:53
|
|||
|
my heart is aching for you
never to return
little piece of my mind
gotta lot to learn
hey I got something for you
sinking regrets
little piece of my mind
whatchur gonna get
If I can't hear my heart
if I can't feel the sound
if I can’t feel my feet go numb
starring window looking for you
crashing through my door
little piece of my mind
what I’m waiting for
If I can't hear my heart
if I can't feel the sound
if I can’t feel my feet go numb

Northern Lights
03:44
|
|||
|
The northern lights
shine down so bright
fill my eyes
magnified
I never figured you a quitter
Dropping out on your broken ties
The speed of light is a killer
reflections stretching longer each reply
The northern lights
ignite the sky
time flashes by
mystified
There are ways to make your blood flow
and frozen soil will numb your soul
The heat of light burns the snow
impressions melting in the afterglow

Double Spaced
03:43
|

|
Sci-en-tifi-ca-lee my struggle fact fiction fantasy
Co-inci-dental-lee location a distant galaxy
if you should glance down scribbled words cover my page
if you should glance now scribbled grin covers my face
Well this space ain't gonna fill itself
it's double spaced
leave a place
just in case, just in case
you need a place
to make a revision
Astral projections in astronomic proportions
five hundred billion imaginary imperfections
If you can't find yourself past future in-betweens
If you can't get yourself past future in-betweens
you're writing your own prophecy
it's double spaced
leave a place
just in case, just in case
you need a place
to make a revision
Pen to paper
a turn of the phrase
staring off
into space
if there ain't nothing new under the precious sun
if there ain't nothing new under the holy sun
if there ain't nothing new under our only sun
take off and write another one
it's double spaced
leave a place
just in case, just in case
you need a place
to make an addition

Stay Awake
04:20
|
|||
|
gimme a lift
back a your ambulance
where we first kissed
scene of the accident
was it an accident?
half a step forward or back
stay awhile, try to relax,
rest my eyes, catch 40 winks
pouring coffee down the sink
hand me the slip
let go that death grip
from calloused fingertips
signed yours truly a hypocrite
no you're the hypocrite
the sweetest thing I ever drank
shooting blanks down at the bank
down the throat and into the tank
gimme a break, it was just a prank
gimme a sign
just try blinking your eyes
you're gunna be fine
in the florescent sunrise
rest assured
I've had enough of that
You can collect that debt when I'm dead
now stay awake, stay awake
For heavens sakes
I've heard enough of that
turn that light I can't escape
just stay awake, stay awake
stay awake
stay awake
you've got that fear that it takes
to stay awake, stay awake

Last Burning Ember
04:59
|
|||
|
on the day before we were born
explosions in the sky
You can't say you weren't warned
A fiery lullaby
the oceans rise to meet a new moon
stillness in the air
you may try enclosing the tomb
but I'll never surrender that last burning ember
if I explode
maybe you'd like me more
If I explode
maybe you'd like me more

People Places Things Knoxville, Tennessee
Our sound has roots in alternative-rock circa 1994 (plus or minus 10), it's been compared to The Pixies, Weezer, Modest Mouse, and Knoxville's own Superdrag. So we mostly do melodic pop songs with the big fuzzy guitar sounds and thundering drums and bass. We stir in a little post-rock taste sometimes too. ... more

Giddy and rambunctious, these three songs sound like the soundtrack to the world’s most hyperactive 8-bit game.
