Come On

Come on, lets walk
Up to the high tower
You can see the whole city
At the fiery hour
Come on, talk
You’ve been way too quiet
Say whatever’s on your mind
Just go ahead and try it
Dig it up, your spirit, speak
You are mighty in your silence
More dangerous than violence
Bigger than the giants
Cause deep down you know
It’s been this way for ages
The stillness and the chaos
The storms around you raging
So come on, lets go
Down into the caves
Where our ancestors lay
The prophets of their day
Return to the place
Remember what they say
Recover from the pain
Take it up again
Come on, lets walk
Up to the high tower
We can see the whole valley
In the golden hour

Precious Metals

Turn it up, the resolution
We want the high definition
Spin the focus, zoom in on it
I see you, your light flickering
Across the lake on a clear day
With your laser at the bay, baby
You wanna catch the moonlight?
In a glass on a cool night
Test the water, is it alright?
Spit it out, I’m listening
You can say what you really mean
It’s on the table, coming clean
Hold it up, a level spirit
If you get tilted you’ll feel it
Keep it inside the double lines
There you go, causing trouble
Busting everybody’s bubble
Bubble
Can I get a little bit of your time?
If we get in the furnace
Crank the heat and let it burn up
Everything that don’t concern us
What is left? You’re still steaming
Smoke lifts and dust settles
White hot precious metals
White hot precious metals
Yeah if we jump in the furnace
All the heat on us burning
Everything that don’t concern us
What is left? You’re still steaming
Smoke lifts and dust settles
White hot precious metals
White hot precious metals

Secret Weapon

Hollow and unblinking eyes
Eyes on the prize
Who has money in the fight?
Fight for your mind
I wanna freak everyone out
And run to the river
Naked as the day that my
Mother pushed and delivered
Once in a while comes a time
To resharpen your weapons
To feel the power of your pain
Like cold metal on your skin
So when you come to the valley
You cut deeper than the valley
And move right through it
Like rushing water beside you
Look into the giant’s eye
Eye on your mind
Cut his head off, hold it high
High as a sign
I wanna break every heart
Open wide to receive it
Raw as the day that I
Took my first breath screaming
Once in a while comes a time
To resharpen your weapons
To feel the power of your pain
Like cold metal on your skin
So when you come to the mountain
You get bigger than the mountain
And move right over it
Like the wild fire inside you

Color of Your Love

I’m bound by the color of your love
I carry it no matter what
Around my neck, until you let me out
Anointing oil upon my head
You’re gracious without regret
I bite my tongue so I don’t come undone
I wait here patiently
Until you call for me
My name drifts down the hall
Like honey drips from the jar
You wake me in the dead of the night
Surrounded by silver light
You laugh, I disappear into your dream
I lay here quietly
Until you come for me
Your voice bleeds through the wall
Like bells ringing in the fog

Pavement

Nobody escapes what’s underneath the pavement
It’s just a matter of time
Everybody breaks, might as well embrace it
Why even put up a fight?
Just another day
Go about my business
And find a way to get by
No effigy is sacred ]
The crowd outside is waiting
For you to give them a sign
I’d have something good to say, but I’m indifferent
Keep the curtains drawn
Our body’s on a mission, demolition
Let the towers fall
It’s okay, i’ve done this before
Just stick your head inside the hole
Nothing to worry about
If there is one thing I know
The earth will open and swallow
you whatever for sure
Nothing to worry about
I’d have something good to say
But i’m in different
Keep the curtains drawn
Our body’s on a mission
Demolition
Let the towers fall
Yeah I had something to say
But don’t remember it
Keep the TV on
I think it was a vision
A premonition
Saw the rulers crawling

Probably my favorite album of the year, also probably one of the best debut album I’ve heard in a long time. The production and instrumentation are so gorgeous, the way a track can start from a simple quiet banjo and voice to grow in to something with synth and other instruments is simply beautiful. I hope to hear more from this artist.
