Wonder Why
04:43
|

|
Freedom is a fantasy I grow
Like most things they come and then they go
I dreamt you now I can make you go
Leave these busted bones and crack the code
Just for one moment, I
I could not
I could not stop wonder why
I throw my head down
All of my lies
I glimpsed the truth between the lies
Subway cars go running through my mind
Caught down below I could not define
Gone before you even made me mine
Just for one moment, I
I could not
I could not stop wonder why
I throw my head down
All of my lies
Still I glimpse these old ideas of home
Weighted down inside my gypsy soul
Must be why I never feel alone
Must be why I never feel alone
Just for a moment, I
Just for a moment

Crystal Lake

He woke up late
It was a Saturday night
He was not in his head
She can’t relate
She was buzzing around
On that side of Crystal Lake
Oh he thought that you might know better
Oh he thought that you
In a sentimental mood, is this the mood that you’ve been looking for?
Living out in Crystal Lake
He’s been drifting in the morning ‘til the warm nights
Down to the kicks he laid to waste
Pavement gets hot ‘til you let it fill the river
Then it’s nothing more than liquid gray
She said he looks like Nirvana, then won’t even let him borrow
Her goddamn Chevrolet
About that time
That time of that night,
Realize that he lost the fight
She’s throwing spades
Were it diamonds or hearts
He would maybe know what to say
Oh he thought that you might know better
Oh he thought that you
Might know better too
Oh he thought that you might know better
In a sentimental mood, is this the mood that you’ve been looking for?
Living out in Crystal Lake
He’s been drifting in the morning ‘til the warm nights
Down to the kicks he laid to waste
Pavement gets hot ‘til you let it fill the river
Then it’s nothing more than liquid gray
She said he looks like Nirvana, then won’t even let him borrow
Her goddamn Chevrolet

Keep It Light
03:34

Act so sophisticated
Don't have a clue
You build a house of mirrors
I see right through
I’ll make it simple for you
One two, one two
Do like the birds in winter
Do what those songbirds do
Keep it light
You paint yourself a picture
Of hope and doubt
You got some poison in you
Let's get it out
I'll make it simple for you
Breathe in, breathe out
Don't keep that magic in you
When you should let it out
Keep it light
You got the fire to get through the darkest night
You got the fire to get you through dark and light

Brand New Empty House
04:20
|
|||
|
Water got me sliding
I'm stuck in the flow
Water show me how to go
I’ve been struck by lightning
I pick up the frames
I don't feel the same
Something must have got me
Face down in the dirt
Save me from a world of hurt
Clouds that move inside me
I thought you could care
All I wanted was your air
Sleep in late on Friday
I fill up the jar
I can't leave from where you are
We can change it later
We can change it now
Brand new empty house

Maze
05:22
|
|||
|
One time, I was climbing up your vine
Seeking for sunlight, caught in a slow bitter grind
This was back when you were a friend of mine
In the maze in the back of your house
we forgot about time
One night, I was a buoy in your sea
Swayed by the waves, I was helpless and free
We both changed our names when we moved to the city
I said we both changed our names when we moved to the city
You wanted this to be effortless and free
But this is not a movie set, so have another cigarette
If it keeps the world at bay, just another day
You could meet me in the maze
I’ve been climbing up my walls
Waiting for sunlight, waiting for that call
On that morning when I see it all
I hear the maze, I let my body fall
One night, I will sink into the breeze
Drop my bags, I’ve been looking like those leaves
I will not wait for you to let me
I will not wait for you to let me
You wanted this to be effortless and free
You could meet me in the maze
I know those brighter days, they slip away, they slip away
I love them anyway, yeah anyway
You could meet me in the maze

Green Leaf
04:32
|
|||
|
Press into a single seed
Wait until it falls from me
I take the time that I need
Put it on the line for a breeze
Trickle slow through me like concrete
The way you fill my vein tastes too sweet
Green leaf incomplete
Try to catch the sun from my own eyes
Light up another one that leaves me so shy
Face down in your wave like you own my
Cup of water flowing from the inside
I find a seed in you, I’m pulling on your vine
I climb into your room, a bullet in the sky
Green leaf, incomplete

Glory Be
03:35
|

|
When she was young wrote a song
And it sounded like America with the windows down
She wants to be gone to some other place outside her
Saltwater sun on the back of her neck
Is this the answer that you’ve been looking for?
On moving on, on losing the sound
It took ten years’ confusion
To find a few true things
Shade on the pages
Made in the sun
Ten years’ confusion
To find a few true things
Dust on the headlights
Everything’s hazy
Glory be
Glory be the fast food, glory be the rest stop
Glory be the pavement, glory the night
The radio’s a preacher, the highway is a church
Some kind of religion in the stoplight
It took ten years’ confusion
To find a few true things
Shade on the pages
Made in the sun
Ten years’ confusion
To find a few true things
Dust on the headlights
Everything’s hazy
Glory be

Your Demand
05:29
|
|||
|
Come on baby, I want your demand
Standing at the door, she said
I don’t want to live in America no more
‘Cause I’m tired and I’m stoned
and I haven’t seen anything pure in a decade or more
Honey what’s it for?
All this striving is making me so bored
All I wanted was a window to myself
With a view looking out on the shore
Come on baby, I want your demand
If I ever get the chance
I’m gonna tell ‘em how it was
How you showed me so much majesty
Then kicked out my only crutch
Does it feel like I’m holding a grudge?
Come on baby, I want your demand

Shadow
04:46

You used to be my own shadow
You used to live outside of me
You used to be my own shadow
Now I'm free
You used to follow me into the daydream
You sleep in my head
Always wait to be alone
So I can hop on my throne instead
But it's not you I'm talking to
It’s not you
You follow me too
I was always trying to kick you off my shoe
That's how I know that you need me
Just like I need you
Why won't you come into my window?
And I will let you knock down my door too
I will open my mouth
Wide enough for you
It’s not you I'm talking to
I would not leave you alone
‘cuz then I would be so alone
It's not you I'm talking to
It’s not you, yeah it’s not you
Baby, it’s not you

Bluer to Me
05:14
|

|
I’ve been a pleasure seeker
I've been looking for you too
I've been a soft speaker
I've been running ‘round my room
I've been low down slow down
Yeah lower than you too
I've been too long gone now
To wonder how I've been so used
Your eyes are bluer to me now
Now that you're far from me, far from me
Your eyes are bluer to me now
Now that you're gone from me, gone
I've been a blues racer
And it's time that I lose
I've been a fool chaser
Running ‘round looking for you
And once I slow down
I lost my latitude
I've been a time waster
Too much spent on you
Your eyes are bluer to me now
Now that you're far from me, far from me
Your eyes are bluer to me now
Now that you're gone from me, gone
I was a pleasure seeker seeking pleasure
Seeking never to be caught in no one’s arms again
You were a pair of arms I passed through on my way before
but never thought I'd fall into again
You were a pleasure seeker, you let it make you weaker
You were a pleasure seeker, so was I

Atlas Lab Boston, Massachusetts
"Glory the Night" out now
Atlas Lab recommends:
One of the most infectiously groovy EP's of the entire summer! Vocals are chopped, sang, sampled and everything in between over thick layers of synth bass and minimal drum machines.
