When the notes are running low
Shall we take a ride down a darker road
Playing with our new shadows
No one will know
Fear is what’ll make it fun
When you show the quick flash of a b-b gun
Didn’t mean to make em run
Run for their lives!
Say you really wanna babe, I won’t let you down
Just say you really wanna, say you really wanna!
Life could be so wonderful, just follow my lead, I swear
Teller says he’ll scream “POLICE!”
Call his bluff, show him your iron heart
Scare him straight, n’ make him squeam
Take a slice of the pie
“I wasn’t gonna hurt you baby (brother). But then you made me fire”
Sirens make you the feel the rush
Panic hits you harder than finer drugs
Movies never show the dust
The cellophane lies!
Say you really wanna babe, I won’t let you down
Just say you really wanna, say you really wanna!
Life can be so wonderful, just follow my lead, I swear
Say you really wanna babe, I won’t let you down
Just say you really wanna, say you really wanna
Life can be so wonderful, just follow my lead, I swear
Say you really wanna, ooh!
Say you really wanna ahoo!

Sour Candy

I need a buzz, I need a thrill to feel strong
Your love’s a fighting one, terrible fun
I gave you up
Once not enough
The body chills
The "gotta have its"
Your grip is strong
And the thrill was good
Rings nice times
Your bite cuts like a jack-knife
Your world is cold and frozen
My heart’s got touch of frost bite
That’s why I’m always running
Don’t know: I need you some days
You taste like sour candy
My heart is hard and not right
I warn my limbs: “get running away”
I know my hearts beats wrong, I know I’m dumb
The fall is curtains down, we’ll pass to the young
I gave you up
My little love
My brittle truss
Is bound to cave in
Thought we’re done
Yet there we stood
A grip so tight
Do love, Do love wrong
Come now say you want me
Do wrong, do love wrong
Come down, leave me guessing
Your bite cuts like a jack-knife
Your world is cold and frozen
My heart’s got touch of frost bite
That’s why I’m always running

Hard fall
Flat tired again
This shit keeps on happening
I feel a stress thats bubbling
I’m feeling stretched like rubber bands
Large fault
Cracking through the land
Sheer rock scraping at its edge
Their words are spinning ever fast
They’re making circles with the facts
Big bowl of nothing special is coming
I could use some sugar man
Don’t get dressed for anything
I’m holding hope for something special, just pretend
Let’s pretend
I feel it coming to an ending, a heartbreak again
I’m left silent feeling selfish, sideways and spent
I’m wishing I could up and call you, share some good words friend
I’m left silent feeling homesick, pretending again
I feel it coming to an ending, a heartbreak again
I’m left silent feeling selfish, sideways and spent

Am I lost and bound for Neverland?
A sad teen island
Am I drifting?
I cast my calls on a blanket cloud of fog
Saying: am I loved?
Am I loved?
This plastic town that double downs on miracles
Round and round and round such sick cycles!
Whoa no no!
I’m fearing that a chemical cloud is gonna come and get me now
Whoa no no
I’m feeling all the blood, the rush, dont ever let me down!
Whoa no no
I’m leaning on you more and more and I long to hear you say
“It’s alright, It’s OK!”
Am I living in a Neverland?
Take me by the hand
Say you miss me
Lost amongst a dozen idle cars
Movie captions on
In a teenage fog
This plastic town that double downs on miracles
Round and round and round such sick cycles!
Whoa no no!
I’m fearing that a chemical cloud is gonna come and get me now
Whoa no no
I’m feeling all the blood, the rush, dont ever let me down!
Whoa no no
I’m leaning on you more and more and I long to hear you say
“It’s alright, It’s OK!”

Glare off a sun-set sea
seen off my balcony
and I can't help but think
why are you leaving?
Sheets that hold your scent
aloft in an unmade bed
flash you had to leave
the glue ain't sticking
So let's settle down
build a house out west
You're my queen once crowned
with a golden crest
The sun will sit
and we'll cook red
and then I wake
from a dream I had
The glue ain't sticking
Note said home by three
with leftovers left to heat
and I can't help but think
what am I missing
Thought I heard your laugh
from the corner of our bowed-in flat
I quickly jerked to see
a ghost, it's haunting me
So let's settle down
build a house out west
You're my queen once crowned
with a golden crest
And I'll breath fire
when I hear your name
choke back a smile
and I softly cave
And the ducks will swim
and we'll throw bread
and then I wake from
a dream I had
And I'll breath fire
when I hear your name
choke back a smile
and I softly cave
the glue ain't sticking

A slight bump of the knees
Igniting fools in bed
Clap for us in choir lung, so soft
The chatter of our teeth
Sparks sounds to misbehave
Felt it on a floor of wood, spelled out
The last chances of poor romantics in play
So come hear me out, let me stay
The bird that brought us peace
The dog that sleeps all day
The swing that keep our blood aloft, boiling hot
Excitement for the tease
Swim the pool, don’t misbehave
All rules were made to age and break, so what
The last chances of poor romantics in play
So comforting now as we sway
So soft we are without a fight
So soft we are without
So soft the man, with half a fight
So soft the man without
Dark sky, you know my insides
I saw halos
Firefly, you have my insight
I saw halos

Wide Awake

All falling starts
Two random hearts
Felt the pull
and I ended you where you are
Turning a blind eye
Charging through the power lines we go
I drew a tangled map, this feeling lost at sea
Your voice keeps me afloat
I told a priest that I’ve been thinking awful things
His words “Get good, get God, get gone!”
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Miles away, can love be anymore?
Miles away, your miles away
Wide awake, what am I trying for?
What am I trying for?
Wild animals
poor self control
That’s how it goes
and the feeling pulls
I can see you miss me
I'm trying hard but can't sleep at all
My pulse at ease until I hear your siren sing
A voice, lumps in my throat
I told a priest that I’ve been tempted to the brink
His words “Get good, get God, get gone!”
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Miles away, can love be anymore?
Miles away, your miles away
Wide awake, what am I trying for?
What am I trying for?
To the places we descend
To hear your warming breath
It’s a love mix medicine
I want to feel your warming breath
Our love don’t make no sense!
Pull, pull, pull!
Pull, pull, pull!

Destiny
It all ended right outside of magnolia, city
Say my name
Do you even have me in your Nokia, it’s Kelly
Honey Bae
You’re a lover bee with a killer sting
Lemonade, good god
You’re the sour, sweetest thing to me
Lefty Jay
Was she 99, or are you in the game
Tell me
Texas Queen
Are you still my girl or just a song machine
I’m kidding
Honey Bae
You’re a lover bee with a killer sting
Lemonade, good god
You’re the sour, sweetest thing to me
Wearing ivy park
We caught you smashing cars
The elevator dropped
How are you now
Wearing ivy park
We caught you smashing cars
The elevator dropped
Where are you now
Honey Bae
You’re a lover bee with a killer sting
Lemonade, good god
You’re the sour, sweetest thing to me

Hey there you are, hazy star, shining signals down
This aperture, leaves a blur, cannot make you out
My foggy head, feels so dense, feeling weighted down
But there you are, hazy star, can you hear me call?
And I try, I try, I’m trying to find out
I could not wait to ask your name
I always hoped you come our way
How about now?
You cut and curve a reckless pace
There’s alabaster in this place
How can I find you now?
Two younger kids, flying herds, jar of medicine
I count it up, chased it down, maybe five or six
A doctor’s note, bedside post, let me go again
I cast my vote, I suppose, how far did i go?
And I try, I try, I’m trying to find out
I could not wait to ask your name
I always hoped you come our way
How about now?
You cut and curve a reckless pace
There’s alabaster in this place
How can I find you now?

Wartime Recitals Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles' Wartime Recitals emerged from a love of pop melodies, large arrangements, and a desire to play their instruments very loudly. Though the group does have glockenspiel parts, they would like to note that all comparisons to other glockenspiel-related bands are probably wrong. And that's okay. ... more
