Supermarket

In the glow of the supermarket
I want to feel like I'm in my own dream again
I miss the kiss of your first attraction
I want to be in sleepless love again
Time and time again
Time and time again I will find you
Moving in just to move out later
If you'll help me I will move to anywhere you say
I want to live in the supermarket
I want to feel that glow turn night to day
Time and time again
Time and time again I will find you
Lucky me I found you too
You turned around and found me too
Thank you

New Year's Eve
03:50
|
|||
|
There's no such thing as karma
Or what others like to call fate
What you give is irrelevent
And what you get is random weight
New year's eve in the warmest house
Away from snow but you can look out
Another chance, another sigh
Another random reason why
You can't believe in 'meant to be'
Unless you face the consequence
With any luck you've made it here
And what you've gained is confidence
New year's eve in the warmest house
Away from snow but you can look out
Another chance, another sigh
Another year is passing by
And we go on
And we go on and on and on...

This Time

Tell me again you are
So I can remember all
I've only just gotten back
And I can hear your call
The way your eyes would shine
How do I hold this time?
In a deeper shade of blue
You're pulling me right through
Tell me again you are
So I can feel again
With your arms around
I can feel again
The way your eyes would shine
How do I hold this time?
In a deeper shade of blue
You're pulling me right through
I'd hate to wake you up
Now that you're asleep
But I only want more time
To hold you in my arms
I'd hate to wake you up
Now that you're asleep
But I only want more time
To hold you in my arms
If you're lost in troubled dreams
I am here for you
If you're inconsolable
I'll hold you until it's through
More than anything, never doubt I am
More than anyone, never doubt I do

Can We Skip This?
03:13
|
|||
|
I'll measure every step you take
I'll tell you what we'll make
On Saturdays awake
We'll sit in what's been spilled today
We'll laugh at yesterday
When love's asleep we'll say
Is this life? Or can we skip this?
The windows sick and start to shake
Another snow globe loved and breaks
On Saturday's mistake
It's gone from April into May
The rain's washing chalk away
On someone's summer's day
Is this life? Or can we skip this?
Is this real life?

Say it again because you want to
The words sound real when you say them
Although it sounds so familiar
Your voice is all I can hear
Say it again because you want to
Tell me again and I'll need to
Around and round I'll believe you
Your voice is just my favorite sound
Say it again because you need to
Change it around until it's different
Play it again if you have to
But I've got to say I'll see you there
Say it again because you have to
Tell me again and I'll need to
Why do I keep forgetting all those
Things you say you've said before?
In my dreams I'm redeemed, I stare at seams
In my dreams I stare at seams
I listen to Seam Are You Driving Me Crazy - yet?
It's just a question
It's not a question of trust
Now that you mention it
It's a question of trust
Everything you feel good about
Should be examined from a different perspective, mind you
Everything you feel good about

Wound
04:31
|
|||
|
I wear this uneasiness
Like promises in empty rooms
Distracting us, nothing but dust
I cough and scratch, I cling to walls
In secrecy I fall apart
A failing breath, collapsing heart
I blend until I disappear
This silent hall, this emptiness
I've got this one thing on my mind
I've got to keep from losing you
I've got this one thing in my life
I've got to keep from falling through
I wear this like it's my own
A fine wound, so much to lose
This borrowed book, this piercing look
I cough and scratch, I cling to walls
In secrecy I fall apart
A failing breath, collapsing heart
I bleed until I disappear
This silent hall, this emptiness
I've got this one thing on my mind
I've got to keep from losing you
I've got this one thing in my life
I've got to keep from falling through
Don't you say a word, don't say a word
Don't say it

I worry for you ///
as if that's all I can do ///
I worry for you ///
for all the good that can do ///
I worry for you, ///
as if that's all I can do ///
I worry for you, ///
and what good does that do? ///
What good does that do?

Never Say Goodbye
06:23
|
|||
|
You can't tell me now, what I was meant to do
We fall into ourselves, like only real things do
Afraid I'll get it wrong
Face to face and here I am just hesitating
If you've known this all along
I know you're right but I'm not sure why you've been waiting
You should never say goodbye...
Once the message has been sent
The words aside, the messenger has been pinpointed
If everyone's your friend, then why are you so disappointed?
You should never say goodbye...
You'll find your way in time, like people somehow do
You'll bend to meet the line
But I'll never know why you would want to
You should never say goodbye...
You should never say

How Does It Feel?
03:36
|
|||
|
Do you ever wonder what people say about you when you're not around?
He had a mother, another week or two you'll start to hear the sound
How does it feel when you're dead and you find out
Everyone was your best friend now?
He was like a brother, with loves and fears and something
No one else could say
There is no other, there's no replacement for it
No one else could say
How does it feel when you're dead and you find out
Everyone loves your band now?
It's so reductive when you say it, words will never do
Now without you, I'm someone's nothing with someone else's view
Do you ever wonder what people say about you when you're not around?
He had a mother, another week or two you'll start to hear the sound
How does it feel when you're dead and you find out
Everyone loves your best friend now?

Tablecloth
04:33

You've got an awful habit of telling off the room
I hide beneath the tablecloth and pretend I don't know you
In and out of conversation you get angry then you're bored
I should've known this was bound to happen, I just hoped we were something more
I paint a mask of patience as you fight for the floor
It never dries in time so it always cracks and wears off on me
You shoot yourself in the foot, and yell at yourself,
Play victim but you're fooling no one
You've got an awful habit, and now we've run out of rooms
I can't tell you, I can't tell you
What you want to, what you need to hear
Do you think that you'll let yourself down again?
And will you still think that it's all their fault?
Do you think that you'll let yourself down again?
And will you still think that it's all my fault?
I can't tell you, I can't tell you
There's still time, this can't be undermined
There's still time...
There's still time, this can be underlined
There's still time

Discard

I could feel it shifting into this
This is not the same, falling out of frame
Across the path and back again, everyday is this again
Months and months of this again, another month is lost again
Nothing matters but your dream
We would not be here, if it weren't for me
Someone else's hands, hiding evidence
I used to be here, and you'd invited me
Once you have all you need, there'll be no reason to talk to me
Nothing matters and loudly
I'll take the fall...

True Opera
by Moor Jewelry
supported by 4 fans who also own “Fall Protection”
It sounds like some people are trying to KILL their instruments, instead of Playing them. Its perfect in its chaos and just shoves you along into each next song. Its simple, point blank, raw and says a lot with little said

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!
