They won't remember The things you can't forget And when it's over With only seconds left You'll think about it You'll wonder what it meant You had your lovers They all just came and went And then it's over Never meant to be Glorious machines Haunted by the faults In our circuitry Was it fear of fate? Or was it something more? That made you recreate The pain you'd known before You'll think about it The things you once ignored Like all the good days You never could afford And then it's over Never meant to be Glorious machines Haunted by the faults In our circuitry

No measure of one's hate Will ever match the love I have for you, still I do, my dear Clear through the thick and thin Hunger that starved my skin Could never define My love for you Two birthdays In a year Just yours and mine New candles Same wishes Without reply Pictures as souvenirs Dreams of forgotten fears I want you right here Right here, again Gone is the time we spent Seasons of discontent But oh, what I've learned Since you were near Two birthdays In a year Just yours and mine New candles Same wishes Without reply Different corners of the same page You were the shine of my brightest day Two birthdays In a year Just yours and mine, mine New candles But Same wishes, kept Without reply

I loved you before I could love myself My mistake I tried to ignore The way that it felt Went astray My mistake A different face In the same mirror I couldn't tell Who Might appear It wasn’t enough To have the right thoughts Made wrong moves Here, with you A different face In the same mirror I couldn't tell Who Might appear I washed you right out I made you afraid, love Against every doubt Your heart kept its shape up A different face In the same mirror I couldn't tell Who Might appear I washed you right out I made you afraid, love Against every doubt Your heart kept its shape up

Where to go now? Everyone left Like a freeze out Back to their nests Spirits on ice Couldn't cool down Such a big night In a small town It's easy To stay at home When people Are frightened By what they're told Could happen We're lost Out in the street Feelin' alone How can such heat Leave us so cold? It's easy To stay at home When people Are frightened By what they're told Could happen But how Can we make friends If we Don't talk To strangers Now and then? We're lost It's easy To stay at home When people Are frightened By what they're told Could happen But how Can we make friends If we Don't talk To strangers Now and then? We're lost

What in the world Could he say? Hammers see nails In every face All of the strength In his jaw Wouldn't hold back His need to talk Every time he Tried to keep it light Heavier nerves Put up a fight Rows of pearly whites Always alert Morning to night Your tongue forgot Words are wings for thoughts Details aren't the main attraction Couldn't unsee What he saw Try as he may To brush it off Ashes from cigarettes Meet the ground Others walk past He starts to shout Every time he Tried to keep it light Heavier nerves Put up a fight Rows of pearly whites Always alert Ready to bite Your tongue forgot Words are wings for thoughts Details aren't the main attraction Guess your tongue forgot Words give wings to thoughts Details aren't the main attraction

about

Maybe The Moon California

Karmen Kimball & Alex Lasner met at a party on 12/21/12, the day the Mayan calendar predicted the world would end. That night, they struck up a conversation about their mutual love for Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music, & realized they had both gone to the same elementary school. They got engaged a few weeks later &, have been in the studio, working on an EP they plan to release during 2016. ... more
