Bigger or Better

Now that he knows his life is free
He understands the possibility
Why not write it down remember the lines
Light it up downtown and float in time
With closed eyes feel the dark
Somewhere in the palm there is a spark
Noone was left when the ocean bled
Slow down cause it’s all in his head
Take on a new life and watch them grow
See the glare of headlights just like fireflies
The sirens drew us to the final step
Decide on bigger or better
Here it is
Where is it?

Fiends

Tired of my cube and the coup we can’t make it our own
And the tiny space where we laid out the race
These tiny ribs are mine they collapse at thought of the work
Left to do like stuffing and drool
Force feed away don’t talk into the hole that we’ve dug
Open up your hands, grasp it real tight, feel the weight of it all,
pretend to play
The hero’s first clash, The hero’s so weak
The hero’s first clash, The hero to see
Lift up my heart and gaze out my soul
Don’t wanna have it all, but don’t wanna lose control
Get off your back and bring us in-line
We will fight off all fiends tonight as a sign
Radio waves pull down on the heart of a man
New long empire drags us around the hall
Walk down the street and see the daytripper out for all
The little brown bag wrapped in white plastic bags
There’s a chance the will is stronger than forced form
Plastic and bling, exhaust neon pink, comatose extinct, fucking stinks
The hero’s first clash, The hero’s so weak
The hero’s first clash, The hero to see

Bounce

Small and fine, we tightly wind
Blind to what we know we see
Feel for what we need
bound to see it wrong
We twist the truth of what we pass along
Next of kin, is worn within
Deaf is what we claim to be
Feel for what we need
bound to hear it wrong
We twist the truth of what we pass along
Life divine we breathe in time
Dumb heart keeps the beat
Feel for what we need
bound to say it wrong
We twist the truth of what we pass along
Everyone I know they were meant to be
Timeless and free, timeless in me
Everyone I know they were meant to be
Timeless and free, they were timeless in me

Artist Right

In the field, the flowers bloom without control
At the pass, just follow direction with eyes closed
Write this down, remember the lines but resist to know
Turn back now set it off make the sparkle bright,
I’ve got a new kind of fire now
This is an artist right, born in the context of the picture tonight
This is an artist right, lost control of the picture lights

The Rendering

In this town where I was born
Everybody knows your face
It’s all around at your gate
From the friendly smile to your hate
We’ve seen the world through a different eye
And the eye was pointed back at us
The entry door reads no entrance
Lock the door and swallow the key
In this place where things are told
Sit down and shut your mouth
Everything here must be sold
Everyone has bought their way out
In this town where I was born
Everybody has an empty plan
The cheap books and the cross they ran
Touch a mile marker from here
Welcome back your gentle heart
I’ll welcome back your gentle hands
Escape is ahead
To race the dead
When they ran
When they ran

Reset

Open up your eyes
Reset start over inside
I have made a million things wrong
Breath until everything is gone
Noone needs a million friends
Just one who tells it like it is
Take it back, take it back, take it back
With the last look noone knows
Don’t figure it out when it’s too late (this is the warning sign)
Don’t figure it out when it’s over (noone here will survive)

This is War!

Nighty night, these tiny eyes are so red
Bursting out, at the wreck of the unsaid
No way in, no way out, the sides they will show
No way in, no way out, let me go
You can hear the rumble and make out the drone
Make what you can from the sound, the sound and the tone
There’s a place where the walls aren’t so thin, walls so thin
Listen close and take it all in, take it all in
This is War!
There’s a fight
There’s a shyness left for us
This is War!
There’s a fight
There’s a shyness built for us
Seeing double vision now
Who’s left in this room somehow
No way in, no way out, the sides they will show
No way in, no way out, let me go
There’s a place where the walls aren’t so thin, walls so thin
Listen close and take it all in, take it all in
Seeing double vision now
Who’s left in this room somehow

The Old Man the Boat
by The Madeleines
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious.

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis.
