- Track Name: Let Me Go
-
The crest and troughs, the ons and offs in a constant oscillation
The ripples in the wavelengths of our breathless arbitrations
Can't we reach a flatline, paving over past frustrations
I can't help but guard your heart far more now that it's vacant
Still I doubt a time machine is something I'll be making, cuz
I'd scribble out the cloudy nights with silver lines for training
And I haven't found a thing out there that slows my signs of aging
so I'll learn to laugh my hair away and love my handle gaining
Let me know, when the time has come
Pain is only temporary, it should never last this long
Let me know, after biting off our tongues
Rain is only secondary once the storm is gone
If I'm truly such a chauvinist then saying so won't matter,
It would only make me madder, make my food and set the table.
But if the doors I held for you and the jackets that you puddled through
Had all this time been misconstrued to meaning you're unable
Then yes I'd be entitled to a little grace and some honest truth
From here on in, instead of you accepting my romantics,
As anytime I treat you well, my princess plants a passive shell
And a prison bar in mortar cell and claims that I had planned it all along.
So Let me go, Let me be alone
I'm trying to take it easy, but we keep on holding on
Let me go, we both know it's wrong
I still love your family, and I wish you heard my song
So let me go, 'till the time has come
Someday you'll believe me, it was worth it all along
And let this grow, once the pain is gone,
I can be the driftwood that you are floating on - Track Name: Mountaineer
-
The teal plaid coat of the mountaineer
With his steel-tip toes and sun-burnt ears
Filling wheelbarrows with the growing fear
That he'll never leave the mountainside,
ANd the axe swings down one final time
but the tree unbounds from its timber lines
it leaves no sound or trace behind
He was lonely on the way he died, yeah.
Back at home in the fireplace,
there's too much wood and no more space
for daddy's good on mommy's face
if there ever really was at all,
and now they've grown to miss him less,
and on her own she raised the best
that she knew how, as for the rest,
she prayed he'd stay this fall, or be all...
All Alone
Know this fire, feel it burn
while you were still too young to learn
I chose to live outside and earn
the wood to keep you warm.
and if you hate me understand,
you'll always be that baby in my hands,
but nothing's wilder than the heart of man
so I promised you from harm, far from home
All Alone
I drop the love outside your door
to stop would only hurt me more
I've gotta tear my soul in four,
the seasons call me home...
until then I've got to be...
Alone. - Track Name: Tokyo Speirs & Sarah Hyland - Flying Kites
-
What am I so afraid of
What keeps this spindle wound
I wanna show you what I'm made of
But I keep winding it back down
Let it go, let it fly,
but there are trees that block our skies
Winds that change our charted course
Veering South but we needed North (we needed North)
I know, you want our paper kite to take into the wind
But I tow the line as it takes flight and pull it home again
And I claim, with my flag half mast i'm just misunderstood
but you watch the sky as the wind blows past and you say "I knew you would"
"But I'm just misunderstood,” “I knew you would.”
I’ve stacked my deck of premonitions, scattered by the wind,
a hopeless house of cards I’m building; Be my guest, come in.
overstay your welcome, just don’t look under rugs
or you’ll leave me when you find out what this wreck-of-cards is made of
sanding down my splinters, you’ve been gentle, you’ve been good
You’re a floating fiberglassterpiece, and I’m a drifting wood
Let’s pray to God and ask for peace, and set this spindle free,
With a kite for sails, let’s float this house of cards into to the sea
I know, you want our paper kite to take into the wind
But I tow the line as it takes flight and pull it home again
And I claim, with my flag half mast i'm just misunderstood
but you watch the sky as the wind blows past and you say "I knew you would"
I’m scared that you’ll abandon me, It’s safer to be closed
I’m trying to speak through poetry, but all I know is prose.
Let’s do this line by line until we both can turn the page,
we keep adding to our dictionary, never to our page
Cause my hands are getting shaky and I know it’s not my age
Let’s act our age - Track Name: Lucky Underwear
-
In my lucky underwear,
I can fight all the bad guys
I can punch dance and cartwheel
I can’t fly but I jump I high(er)
When I wear my special cape,
I win bug-eating contests
And I lose my fear of snakes,
and of lunch time and recess
and with all my magic on, I could drive a firetruck
With my Xray Goggles on,
I can see through the fixtures
where my mommy hides the gun,
where my dad hides the pictures
With my super ninja socks,
I can climb up the eaves-trough
By the time the bad guy stops,
I’m asleep on the rooftop
but with all my magic on, I’m still never strong enough
With my flaky entourage,
I can sneak out the backdoor
While they’re busy betting odds,
on and off of the dance floor
With my mother’s favorite tie,
I can hang from a prom stall
Not until I learn to fly,
Or at least how to slow the fall
When the ambulances come,
and the screaming firetrucks
tell them all my magic’s gone,
I was never strong enough. - Track Name: Flightless Bird
-
Oh to wear these shoes
'Till I'm baring my toes
I leave the tongue loose
Past the tears in my sole
My tongue is dried out,
crying out for a spring,
You call me to
Leave my shoes and my wings
For every father regretting to fight
And every orphan yelling "Daddy" at night,
For every blind man who claims they saw the light.
For every heathen who keeps me expelled,
And promises heaven if I make it through hell,
The soles of these feet kiss the coals in these streets
I'm too old to be taking this heat,
But I might as well...
I'm a flightless bird, but I'm still at ease
Now I'm never looking down at my enemies
With a righteous word and a pair of knees
I am the weak, as the least of these - Track Name: Sisyphus
-
Push all the buttons in the elevator
Reminds me of the city lights
Besides, I like the wait I like the wait
I put my heart in the refrigerator
To see if I’m alive
Besides, I like the pace I like the pace
Put the world in a kaleidoscope
to add some symmetry,
Besides, it breaks the light it breaks the light
Only loyal to the Midas Vote
I’m on a winning spree
Besides, nobody’s right nobody’s right.
Chorus
Watching me watching me fall asleep
Talking me talking me to the floor
Walking me walking me on a leash
I don’t need anymore
Feeding the bullets of a revolution
Reminds me of a tv show
Besides, I have a dream, I have a dream.
Let’s end the Sisyphean retribution
Someone get a telephone
Besides, my hands are clean, my hands are clean.
I add verbatim when it’s ad verbatim
And nobody minds
Besides, I like my voice I like my voice
Pulling the trigger on another nation
Hush now you’ll be fine
Besides, I like the noise I like the noise
(bridge)
Chorus
Watching me watching me fall asleep
Talking me talking me to the floor
Walking me walking me on a leash
I don’t need anymore
Putting your hands over your children’s ears
So they don’t hear us coming
Besides it makes them strong it makes them strong
Put on some music from your better years
Back when you were young
Besides, it won’t take long it won’t take long - Track Name: Tokyo Speirs & Alix Thorne - Pretty Big Fan
-
be my marco solo
i'll be polo with a blindfold,
Then play red rover, call you over,
and make you hold my hand
when we’re playing FREEZE!....
even time slows down,
duck duck goose, no matter who I
choose, you’re still around
in sardines, the spot, it seems,
you always pick the worst
I take a peek in hide and seek
so i can find you first
work my way in Twister,
hope we meet at blue or green,
if we’re both losing together,
we’re still on the winning team
I'm pretty big fan of you,
I'm a pretty big fan of you
Let's do the wave So i can see you
wave back at me too
They’re throwing you a curve ball
when it’s your turn up to bat
I’m cheering in the bleachers
and throwing up my hat
3,2,1 the ball is thrown,
i’m trying to steal first base
I’m always trying to catch you,
but you keep me on the chase
rumble clouds start pouring,
we keep singing in the rain,
Fill the pit with mudpies,
and I’ll throw some at your face :)
I'm pretty big fan of you,
I'm a pretty big fan of you
Let's do the wave So i can see you
wave back at me too,
Carve this tree for when we’re ready
after years of Alphaghetti,
in a treasure box of lego blocks
Let’s save the I’s and U’s
Outro
if your playdoh heart is harder
than the tree in which you carved it in,
and you just keep on bartering
and toying with yourself,
and if I’m to be as callous
as our feet when we were Alice
if we’ve fallen down the rabbit hole,
and lost most of our health,
We can lie beneath our carving,
and release our straining breath,
‘Till U and I are buried in our
Lego treasure chest
Sarah: “throw a rock for hopscotch then run and take a leap
If our numbers don’t add up, I can land on my two feet...”
Tokyo:“Well, I’ve hit my head in football, tackled dizzy in the street,
but you knocked me right out cold when you said you fell for me.” - Track Name: Pocket Heart
-
I put her heart in my back pocket and didn't think about it, but I wondered why it's softer when I fall.
And as I'm getting up, she's too hurt to even talk, so she cries in bed but I don't care at all.
You think that I'm compassionate but all talk without action is the only thing that I've had to perfect.
Slow to think and quick to judge, by only what I thought was love, so all I'm ever left with is regret.
I throw away my friendships like I throw my arms around until I catch a pretty girl I think would fit.
A fancy dish and birthday wish is all I need to take the lead and beat the living daylights out of it.
I drop into the trench of old trajectories engraved by subtle caustics of an unfamiliar smile.
My tendons turn to reins and all my sentences to chains until your anger strikes a vein and turns the dial. - Track Name: Sunsets On My Anger
-
God, Don't forgive this sinner yet
I haven't learned enough from my regrets
And I sit and wait upon this stone
That I carry alone
I carry alone
And I feel the knife turn,
And I feel the coals burn.
Oh God, don't forgive this sinner yet.
Cuz I haven't learned enough from my regrets
And I carried that burden on my own
Yeah I buried that stone
And I felt the knife turn
I felt the coals burn
You are love but I still feel so loveless,
and I'm longing for complete forgiveness
Is my quarter good enough for your payphone?
I called to say that my sorrows paved the rough way home. - Track Name: Tokyo Speirs & Joel Wheeler - Sweet Caroline (Cover)
-
Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along
Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I've been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you
Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would
Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good
