Adam Super lovely synth strangeness that calls to mind Laurie Anderson, Arthur Russell, Suicide, and Basquiat's band Grey. Xavier's voice has a delicious bouncy quality to it that I really love.

I'm sorry I just don't feel like myself today I woke up cause it was so hot I went to the mirror sometimes i don't know who i am anymore I don't think its the weather Well I can't always say what you think about me And I can't trust no more what your reading from me Dropping my perceptions So just turn around now Let's go downtown Pouring my eyes over the bayou Pouring my eyes just trying to be by you Thinking of the green ray Im just thinking of the green ray and I just broke my mirror Take a piss on my heart Take a piss on my velvet heart I can suck it down Run run now don't stay where you are Is it real what I'm asking? Is it real what I'm asking? Green ray flash Is that the green ray flash? Scoring my eyes Breaking horizon Scoring my eyes Breaking horizon And I can't fuck it down Run run now Don't stay where you are Does it hurt what my face says Can't trust what your eyes read Cause I'm just trying to find the love in my eyes you see I'm just trying to find the love in my eyes, you see Cold sweat hot sheets (x4) Underneath it's underneath Not written on my face Just underneath Are you still out? Are you still there? Can I run my mouth? All over your town Under neath It's underneath State what you want mean what you say the truth will come out because of the green ray the green ray

I ravage through the pavement engage with my walls relocate my movement I crawl through the hall anxiety surrounding "What keeps cumming thru?" Rear window, wide open rose garden in my view My view of you I don't wanna orbit like the moon around you but can you pick me up again round 2? bathing in your milky way deep throat you till i lose my face my face, my face I can't concentrate and on and on this world without you and on and on each day I look into the mirror and i'm full of such disgrace lie on my back and detach ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rose garden, wide open , rear window in my view what keeps cumming? what keeps cumming through satellites interfere my nudes sent to you saturate a cropped picture dissolve around you satellites saturate dissolve dissolve dissolve around you

The Moths 04:01
What am I to say to you? how long does this velvet rope run through? during Nate you texted me asking to wait out the storm I was in the mist of getting home I couldn’t turn back, back to you You apologize for the late notice I should have turned back, back to you you’re a fireplace and your words are warm you shed layers revealing, revealing yourself two moths tranced by each others light walking through curtains of mist how do I just glow, just glow like you stoned fruits watching your lips disappearing under the skin of an apricot feeling like this moment shouldn’t exist there is no way to know that we know, that we know the history of this electric current buzzes right through me and it feels so good refresh me to a new life where I can sleep tears damp my pillow and it’s dripping in my dreams I’m swimming in my head losing the golden hour For your dizzy hour walking through curtains of mist stoned fruit,watching your lips spilling on your bedroom floor can you feel this warm breeze running under the door ? high anxiety staring at my ceiling staring at my palm blue glow caught in my eye my metallic sky spending the night in the east I’m just trying to pass the time I’m just trying to pass the time stop this tape from looping in my head stop this tape from looping in my head

Leo 03:47
It's gonna get dark soon green skies mirror day moon so close and hovering and trailing trailing me with those pools for eyes honey pools they can pull tides I'm in your tide, Leo You're my ride, Leo I'm in your tide, Leo Leo Leo Leo Deep dead summer with my blood red eyes speeding on the interstate bathing in fluorescent lights and i remember and I remember with your four fingers in me stay inside me swim in my mouth and go ahead just dunk your head i'm a mess i'm a mess desperate thirsty i'm a mess, again riding with no helmets you kill the lights and let our eyes adjust to the darkness run off the road our bodies somersaulting over the handlebars clutching your waist i can't wake up and i can't let go cause we are not close as we use to be deep inside me the cream from your dream it fills me like smoke can't let it go lets smoke, again again again again with your big moon eyes they can pull tides im in your tide Leo you're my ride Leo tide Leo Leo Leo Leo

That's not what you said (x2) That's not what you said to me but its Ok except, I'm not gonna reread my last text or fantasize about your call thinking one day someday and damn I'm gonna tell you it all instead we will just take in this silence my heart and undercurrent pounding my windows open soft breeze beating me my windows open cum find me Alone in the dark and I think of you I get lost in the moment Cause the moon's charge is strong right through my window and I'll never feel the same way about you Lost in the weekend with you Glossy and High Lost on the weekend with you with you Here's the keys to my apartment draw down the blinds the keys to my apartment spiral, spiral, unwind "And at night in my bed, There's a palm tree there under the streetlight At night I can feel its blades running over my face At night I can feel the blades shadows giving us stripes" keys to my apartment draw down the blinds the keys to my apartment spiral, spiral, spiral Let's get lost in the weekend with you Glossy and High Lost on the weekend with you with you

Daphne 03:47
I was alone just taken by you (x2) hells bells ringing poisoning you catching your high and now..... I see it now I exhale right through you is that what you want? take what you need just take what you need from me Daphne And now....I see it now I see it now... for myself for myself follow the river and bend with the river be my river baby my river honey the feelings gone away like a cloud of smoke and i just want for myself to see for myself and i just wanna see it up close up close, close please not trusting what i see what i see and I....I see it now and i just want it now for myself for myself, for myself Daphne taking shape, your eyes fade away right now and that's the truth

about

"cause the moon's charge is strong
right through my window
and I'll never feel the same way about you......

and at night in my bed,
there's a palm tree there under the streetlight
at night I can feel its blades running over my face
at night I can feel the blades shadows giving us stripes"
