Clock Math 04:41
To seem awake I’ll talk and stray We’ll cry away Our halcyon days I’ll dry I’ll run across the sun be quick and sweet To seem to seem awake awake I’ll talk I’ll talk and stray and stray We’ll cry We’ll cry Away Away Our halcyon Our halcyon days Ah Tonight I seem To feel and wean Temper me out You scream and shout We break and bash the solid states to liquidate Tonight tonight I seem I seem To feel to feel And wean And wean Temper temper Me Out me Out You scream you scream And shout and shout Ah

Ivory House 04:07
Bubbles whisking and whispering in my stomach Tempting temperament telling me I need to go away Ivory houses all stacked on a mountain of wooden and brass parts all spinning around This Tenuousness is much less applicative to my heart than a rhythm or sound Ah Waltzing softly with your calm Think of nothing when I’m gone Altercation of altered mind and face Simple sensations and senses sent to displace Making traps of my exploding synapses I rush to enclose my escaping thoughts Feeling peaceful is naught but the pieces I’ve not hid away in my spary rapport Ah Waltzing softly with your calm Think of nothing when I’m gone My feet slip about on the air Our tongues are a tentative mess These words that we weren’t meant to hear Ah Waltzing softly with your calm Think of nothing when I’m gone

I've got three letters for you I hope you receive them I've got a problem I need an answer I want you to know I'm looking up at the sky Don't you know I'm just a child I just need some kind of Compensation for being alone Just need an explanation for Why you've gone away Maybe one day I'll follow you Leave the atmosphere Find a way to find to get to you out there If only I try If only I try Now that I grow tall I'll don a mask and fly A rocket as red as a streak of sun Rich and glaring in the light Shining for those without answers Answers as to why, why you flew away But I'll get those answers now I try And reveal the mystery inside So now I follow you Into the great beyond I've found a way to find How to get to you How to get to you Now I'll get to you Catching colds from other mothers Holding hands with inconsistent lovers Thoughts of you still smother me Trying hard not to pretend The breaking of the fisherman's bend Burning letters I would send To a man in the sky I'm sorry it's not okay I'm sorry it's not alright I'm sorry you fly away I'm sorry you fly tonight I can see the clouds I can see the stars I can see the gates to perdition I can see you now My ship is crashing down But I've made it onto yours I know I was right On that cold dark night Twenty years ago When I saw you go My steps echo on steel Reflect sins of the father I can see the glass On the top of your helm And the emblem on your chest My life drains from my eyes And in my last vision Now I finally see through the sky With your lifeless hands All I was, was wrong And here we lie together Father and son

about

Our first EP that we want to call "our first EP."

Almost entirely self-produced, with the help of some good close friends. We feel this record is a strong representation of us, as well as some sort of indication of a slight turning point for us as songwriters and music producers.
