Sometimes
I don´t know where
to put my hands
Say nothing
Watching them wither
Skinny roses and all
About four years from now
two stars will collide
(I remember
how you lied)
they will light up the sky
and become
the brightest object anyone has ever seen
About four years from now
our bodies will align
(against the
leaning skyline)
they will have us wonder why
and condone
the brightest love we ever could have seen
Spinning faster and faster
in a dance of death
We are the stars
or at least we wish we could have been
Put your worn heart and put it into your sleeve.
Take it out whenever you need.
Make yourself free from all the troubles you left behind,
just to be yourself for just this once.
When your family cries, when your mother dies.
Then you think about what’s life.
Break it up in two, break it up into something new.
That you know you belong to.
That you now that you can go back to.
You just want to break free from everyone around you, I know.
You deserve it, because you are all that I need to be around for every year.
And I know that we could be the same as ever before.
I can’t seem to remember how you laughed at yourself. I can’t seem to remember how you layed there. I can’t seem to remember how you did it all on your own.
Good news: You are engaged, but the cakes are burnt now. When they asked us what we were doing here, we pushed ourselves to look
Do you believe in yourself or miracles or Santa Claus or kissing on the first date?
On the first date ever, on the first day ever.
Shape yourself into a key and push it through. Stop searching, you know you'll end up here.
Rain falls
Between my two hands
Your face, the night
we drove our bikes into the morning light.
recollections of wounds patched up by some other kids mom.
we swam in lakes, made chairs into trains. trains into planes.
flew over beds and dirty toys.
the window sills where we sat, dreamt of better times.
behind the ugly curtains we hid when we cried.
where are you now?
still the same?
today is my day
where are you now?
are you still the same?
are we still friends?
if you could leave again
would you do it if you could?
if you could leave again
would you do it if you could?
if you could leave again
would you do it if you could?
have you found the words to keep yourself alone?
found the friends to keep yourself unknown?
locked up anywhere where no one finds you
leaving all intimacy behind
i listened to the words you never dared to say
you know denial is just the easy way
think of all the time we spent
memories and what they meant
have they meant anything at all to you?
hello
goodbye
doesn’t seem to make a difference tonight
so this just your way of getting through
something we have never been into?
if this just your way of getting through
something we have never been into hello
goodbye
doesn’t make a difference tonight
green lights
passing me
on/off
spotlight
like a candle, flickering through the trees
you didn’t even leave
you didn’t leave a scar. i’m sorry).
obviously...
i don’t understand half the words you say
i don’t have the words
the words you want to hear
i don’t have what you want
not that i care
if i can be myself without you
if i can be myself again
so i take one last look at the stars
before it starts to rain
assuage myself with thoughts
that you might look upon the same
sitting in the darkness
watching hours fade
you can’t fail without a word to say
i close my eyes
there’s nothing left to find
all washed out this time
colors in the night
our portraits, black and white
like dreamy butterflies
beautiful and calm
heading for the light
and anything i see is that postcard-sized life
growing on concrete
a world that has sold its soul
to one size fits all
and training wheels
who am i to say?
who are you to judge?
ungrateful
our individuality
roles set
opportunities
unavoidable
and i’ve already signed that script
you planted in my fertile mind
what more can i want?
what more can i ask for?
i have it all. all you let me have.
is anything i am that two-dimensional shape you see?
what more can i want?
what more can i ask for?
i don’t want it all.

I was shocked with the small electronic elements on it when I was a teenager. I stopped listening to them a while ago, but when I bought the record I was hooked for a week.
Steigerungslied is my fave track of them while Revolter and Disco Hijack coming close sssinistre

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

It has such a mix of sounds and reminds me of a soft Dance Gavin Dance album. I found this record on a whim at the Denton Recycled book store. I'm glad i decided to give them a try :) Much love to the band! <3 samtastic00
