Though the Memory has Died, Watch How You Open Up

Swarm (track 03 from the Terraformer LP by Thank You Scientist )

Full circle, all will be returning in due time
Concentrate on erasing the commotion
Come again with a little bit of urgency
You’ve got the best of me

Oh my Carolina
Feel like I’ve been had
Feel like I could tear down the wall and call it a day
But then again, I’m the destroyer

Does it ever make you wonder?
What if I took a left instead of a right?
What if I’m to blame?
I’ll be damned, I’m digging my own grave

Stir, agitate, feel defeat
Nothing could ever take that from me
Where do I belong?
Where do I belong?
And did you ever notice the light was turning?
Only green can get you there
You’ve got to be ready to go

So come again with a little bit of love now
Come again with a little bit of urgency

Oh my Carolina
Feel like I’ve been had
Feel like I could tear down the wall and call it a day
But then again, I’m the destroyer

Does it ever make you wonder?
What if I took a left instead of a right?
What if I’m to blame?
I’ll be damned, I’m digging my own grave

Do you have to recall?
Why don’t you leave it there?
Though the memory has died, watch how you open up

So I’ll stay here
Where do I belong?

Does it ever make you wonder?
What if I took a left instead of right?
What if I’m to blame?
What have I become?

Won’t You Come In From The Rain?

Absentee (track 05 from the Maps of Non-Existent Places LP by Thank You Scientist )

Waiting for someone to show me, but I won’t hold my breath
Nothing left, no control, only pictures of someone I used to know
I gave it all away and I can’t take it back
Here I am: tornado

Every perfect day yet to come I would sacrifice for one more moment with you
I don’t want to waste another day, won’t you come in from the rain?
Because you could be the most beautiful thing to me

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
All I can say is you know that it’s true

I said all I could say
Would you do it again?
Would you stand on your own leaving me right there, would you?
That’s my rolling stone
Come on, let’s do it again—you have had enough on your own—because maybe there’s something left to find
I have been searching for something left behind
Would you do it again?
Could you do it again?
Would you do it again?

You and I are taking off

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
All I can say, you know that it’s you who means all the world to me

I know this is where I belong
Forget the warning signs, I know who you are and I’m fine

Waiting for someone
I know we are wrong
You know we are wrong

You’re worried now with this hurt in your hand
So strange here, I don’t know the meaning
But who cares to know?
Can you hear me calling you home?

You’ve got to know that I’ve been calling you home

I Hear They Only Lay You Down

Feed the Horses (track 03 from the Maps of Non-Existent Places LP by Thank You Scientist )

You’re feeling like you’re going down
You’re throwing in the towel, you’re through
Don’t tell me how it’s going down

So come on a little closer
I’ll take you from Burden Avenue
I won’t be your burden ever

So far I can’t tell anything apart
Where’s the love you’re after?
So far I can’t tell anything

Calling out your name, I hear they only lay you down
Do what you have to make it right, right
I won’t be your holy roller
Everywhere I go it rains on me
Carry on with your own life
When I tell you you’re the one and you run like hell

You’re feeling like you’re going down
You’re sinking ship is big enough for two
Tell me you’re alone, I will be the one who is there for you

So come on a little closer
I’ll take you from Burden Avenue
I won’t be your burden ever

So far I can’t tell anything apart
Where’s the love you’re after?
So far I can’t tell anything

Calling out your name, I hear they only lay you down
Do what you have to make it right, right
I won’t be your holy roller
Everywhere I go it rains on me
Carry on with your own life
When I tell you you’re the one

We’re running out of time

By the way, feed your horses and I’ll be sure to find the fire behind your eyes
By the way, feed your horses and my willingness to fight
By the way, feed your horses and I’ll be on your side

I’ll tell you you’re the one who opened up my eyes
If you try again to love then I’ll be on your side
You’ll never know if you don’t try
You’ll never know if you’re alive

Calling out your name, and run
Calling out your name

Calling out your name, I hear they only lay you down
Do what you have to make it right, right
I won’t be your holy roller
Everywhere I go it rains on me

I’ll tell you you’re the one who’s opened up my eyes
I’ll show you all the things you bring into my life
