Color Math 03:41
lyrics

Red and white But by the grace of your eyes Imagine if it never blessed a sunrise Never blazed a neon sign Upside down Flipped around by the wheel of your mind In less than the blink of an eye You don't even realize And I focus and I filter and I render And I render and I filter and I remember Red Green Blue From these 3 unlimited hues All conspire to show the world to you Mislead in ways beneath our view Proportion and line So easily contrived Ready to believe your lies Beauty, behold my eye It's how I behold you How I long term store you How the recall is optimized The image is rasterized The photons' one mission To reflect off your visage The image it saturates The hues all fall into place It's how I behold you How I long term store you

La Boda de Los Lobos 03:06
lyrics

Boldfaced festivities Nothing less than the best that you deserve Shed all frivolities Nothing more than the life that you have earned Then you grab my face The moon takes its place Calls out our names Jealous and breathless The eternal refrain Forever sustained Across the arid plains Sweeping and reckless Exchange formalities No other name than the one we get to choose Live territorially Sing our song to fight away the blue Eternal refrain Forever sustained Across the arid plains Sweeping and reckless And baby you sang "Be My Husband" and they All joined the refrain Singing and stomping And on that day We climbed out of our graves And into our place

Mare Imbrium 05:30
lyrics

You in the market For the brand new home of your dreams? It'll cost you everything But the views are immaculate Recently lost your Bodily autonomy Reduced to less than nothing degrees Completely irrelevant A new day dawns now And haven't I got just the thing Bring only what you need to bring Escape velocity Don't take too long now Buyers lining up to sign the lease A time share in the astral peaks Your own relativity Find your continuum In absentia Write your own compendium Ad infinitum On Mare Imbrium

The Crucibles of Calcasieu 02:57
lyrics
buy track
In a backwoods shack off Desiard You touched your hand to the back of an old John Deere The movement and the sparks it made Would never again be explained So we set our course for Moon Lake In your rush to experiment you must have spilled the tank The belly of Bartholomew Was laid out for the town's review For the first time I really feel alive You said as we fled south down Hwy 165 The crucibles of Calcasieu Couldn't match what he learned to do On our trail On our trace On our scent On a whim On the back of a lot of bad decisions 16 maybe less After that much older Friends right until the end Which we met at the border All the power in the world at the tip of his fingers Too much too soon too young too fast too unstable

Odd Fauna 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Seeing in the dark Thinking through a spark Molting into the next thing from the last thing All in the name of succession Breathing in the light Instincts force the fight Resilient of one more thing like it's the next thing All in the name of connection You grow You lunge You climb You jump You stalk You feed You sire You breed

A Minor Eddy in the Vaster Gyre 04:33
lyrics

AIN'T THAT ENOUGH? THAT'S FAR TOO MUCH! IT WAKES ME UP As far as eyesores It leaves a little something to be said From branches and briars They make their many nests above my bed AND IT WAKES ME UP All their preening and scratching around AND THEY FEED THEIR YOUNG So I guess I've got to keep them safe and sound I'm not monster after all But I could be... IT WAKES ME UP! AIN'T THAT ENOUGH? As far as advice Take this little pearl here for a ride We're no holy french horns We're complicated fools and spies AIN'T THAT ENOUGH? To be the end-all be-all prototype? THAT'S FAR TOO MUCH! A minor eddy in the vaster gyre Cuz I ain't nothing special But I would be...
