about

The second single from our upcoming eight track EP, "Escalators."

lyrics

Let’s meet again up in the plastic jungle
We’ll wring success out of our hair and clothes
I saw the skin begin to crack and crumble
But flowers spring out of the decomposed
A broken promise is a necessary evil
Lest our romance become a pessimist’s throne
Although the miles can make a love turn feeble
Our history remains engraved in stone

I’m gonna tear you apart
I’m gonna make a meal out of your skin and bones
I’ll build a cage for your heart
And carry on, a synthesis of both our souls

If I go south to find my own direction
And you go north to run away from home
We’re bound to meet amidst our introspection
You can’t escape the scent of my cologne
With each example you’re imbedded in me stronger
I only know the colors I’ve been shown
Don’t even wait or it’ll feel much longer
Bide your existence with a less cute clone

And even though I let you go
You never know just what the future hides
You buried in under my skin
Until the end, I can’t forget your eyes
Things got just a little bit crazy
Things got just a little bit cold
But hold tight and we can make it back safely
I know it’s right in the pit of my soul
