Amnesia

I won't go downtown
Because it's haunted
Memoir waits to greet on every block
Dodging the past is a task that's daunting
Before she disappeared
she unplugged the clocks.
We hit it off so well like such an
Easy love
I couldn't stand to think that it might end
Until the night she confessed her real name was
Amnesia
As Morning watched her memory fade
Dismissive then advised me to pretend
That we were just friends
Fog drifting in like an infusion
Brings specters of our romance poised to stalk
Indiscretion in the streets creates confusion
She scrawled question marks on the mirror
in day glow chalk

Carpet

She is all I need
To shut the engine off and park it
She is all I need to call Doubt on the carpet
She is all I need
She's the heroine of Friction
She is all I need to sort fact from fiction
For those queued up for latest design
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime
Professing we've not achieved enough
We haven't got anything they'd want to steal
Nothing they can touch
She is all I need
She's what makes my earth shatter
She is all I need
Where time doesn't matter
She is all I need
To shut the engine off and park it
She is all I need to call Doubt on the carpet
Survey the scene and it doesn’t make sense
Are pranks and disruptions are our only defense
Detractors ignored and we're leading out of the gate
They live in a place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight

Disappointment’s arriving
You don't have to come down
We can watch from a distance while Hope hits town
Already leaving halfway downstairs
Back in through the window
And nobody cares
Disappointment’s arriving
You don't have to come down
Hope bet even money on a big reveal
Everything we've achieved
Is nothing they can steal
Got it made on the inside so we'll play what's real
Play what's real
Disappointment’s arriving
But it’s never too late
Watch from a distance while others seal their fate
Love's rotary phone is ringing off the wall
Hope's on her cell out in the hall
Disappointment’s arriving
But it’s never too late

Things(right now)
03:17
|
|||
|
I don’t care if outer space was discovered to be empty
And all that classic Sci Fi vanished in thin air
It doesn’t really matter if we landed on the moon
Since everything I really need is here
I don’t care if all the airwaves suddenly went silent
Without the classic rock and roll we so enshrine
It doesn’t really matter if there’s only bad reception
If we’re together know that static suits me fine
Anywhere you are is my favorite place right now
Yr heels sounding echoes and I'm off the ground
Anywhere you are is my favorite place right now
Everything or nothing all that Love allows
I don't care if everyone has drowned in information
And communication gets lost in the fray
Someday, when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we'll remember
Things we said today

Chasing It
03:14
|
|||
|
I won't speak my mind
You won't want me to
Yelling fire in crowds that would never do
There's no way to break
the fall of
What you can't escape
Still Time alone can prove
If this or that is true
A one way fare implies there's no turning back
Megaphone on soapbox shouting all the facts
The higher up you go
A wider scope is seen below
Notebooks full of promises and codes to crack.
Left behind
Changes in the air
Left behind
Love is unaware
Can you only change the mold by breaking it
What percentage of the cause is faking it
Have you the right to change yr view
If it's only fooling you
Is universal truth outrun by chasing it

Upend
02:50
|

Someone wants to be who they are
They've felt this way but tried to pretend
Try not to think it bizarre
Their life boat they now will upend
Changes in the air upend
Love is unaware upend
Someone wants to be who they were
Their old lives were not enough fun
Partners are forced to concur
Once transformation's begun
Changes in the air begun
Love is unaware begun
If yr in disagreement the problem is you
For leaning towards clear cut design
It's best to say nothing than
Proceed out of tune
Let's all cheer for blurring the lines
Future has a ledger of names
Of those who now long to turn back
To views that are now out of frame
And notebooks of code they might crack
Changes in the air might crack
Love is unaware might crack
If yr in disagreement the problem is you
You're apparently way out of touch
It's best to say nothing than
Proceed out of tune
It's best to just keep our mouths shut

the Sawtelles Connecticut
Married duo the Sawtelles are a balance of four elements, guitar in alternate tunings, various drum kit configurations, and two voices. Sparse but intricately arranged pop that is as lush as it is threadbare makes what is played just as important as what isn’t. ... more
