J&Js 03:54
Last I week I saw Jenny Hval She came out dancing on a deflated ball She sounded like this one, like that one, like this one, like that one, No, not at all Last week I saw Jenny Hval Julie, Julie, Julie Arms stretched out open to me She sounded like one, like that one, like this one, like that one, No, not really Julie, Julie, Julie © Lily Taylor Music

SLOW 04:00
It's a lot of weight, carry round, take it out Be a gem say you'll stay the same, some other day Oh, please take it slow I, have no where to go for hours Does it add up to the right amount? Investment sound? Directions state we have to pay, But what do you say? Oh, please take it slow I, have no where to go for hours Daniel, you'll go far Daniel, you'll go far Oh, I wish you would Go to town. Tell me how you got found. Break glass, make a sharp blade, But not if held in a certain way Oh, please take it slow I, have no where to go for hours Daniel, you'll go far Daniel, you'll go far Daniel, you'll go far Daniel, you'll go far © Lily Taylor Music

O THIS 03:34
Thumper, Jumper moves too fast But the water is cold and vast Hollow is what we grow in time If we do not tend to the vine This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing Thumper, Jumper does not think twice Fell for the call girl, tripped on his ice A thoughtful plan would nice However grand or a thin slice This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing This o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this, o'this old thing © Lily Taylor Music

CLIFF 04:51
Signs, lit up like lollies in line, so fine Shinning down on us in rays til the water runs dry Might see it in time The cliff's light in our eyes The wait of holding out and holding on and holding it in Let the baiting begin. Time is the promise that binds All of us in one focused line Moving on wards with each moment in line Round again and a bit to the side Might see it in time The cliff's light in our eyes © Lily Taylor Music

GIANT SEALS 05:05
I dream of giant seals They come and care for me Out of back passages Cool water carnage Karina sings of the city's lights Captures a place in time Tucked away from sight That I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember Cicada take my mind To tops of magnolia trees Dolomite catches them Puts them in jars for me But I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember, I can't quite remember I dream of giant seals They come and care for me Out of back passages © Lily Taylor Music

EVER NEW 06:35
We walk the tide before the sunrise Though it's cold, we welcome the morning Ever New, ever new, ever new, ever new Summon the brood, learning to live with the cool A measured way to avoid the fool Make it look easy, too Ever New, ever new Step by step by step by step by step by step by step Right at the edge, right at the edge Ever New, ever new, ever new, ever new © Lily Taylor Music

KEPLER WELLS 04:07
What was said along the way Was not entirely conveyed. An honest moment in the din A welcomed tone from where we've been. I've known all along, what it takes to find where we're going. And now that we've gotten here, I'm not sure what the plan is remaining. We've gone miles along, climbing through the trials of their lives, But though the current is strong, they can follow the pace along. And the stories that come after, say they could fly faster. To some we spill a little "thanks", and reminisce about the days: Fireside, lemonade, sandy beaches in the shade. Sweet summer serenade; the memories that we made! Black Swan moves upon the surface through the deep. Evan pulls the knowledge out from the history that he keeps, He's gone miles along, climbing through the trials of his life, But he's tuned in, making beats, counting in his sleep, And the stories that come after, say he could fly faster. © Lily Taylor Music

MY BABY 02:40
Gotta see, gotta see, gotta see, I gotta see my baby Gotta tell, gotta tell, gotta tell, I gotta tell 'em I love them, so. I know, I know, I know, I know, he won't "mean maybe" I gotta see, my baby Gotta hold, gotta hold, gotta hold, I gotta hold my baby. Gotta hear, gotta hear, gotta hear, they love me, so. I know, I know, I know, I know he don't "mean maybe" I gotta see, my baby Gonna feel the way we move. Gonna feel the way we move. I know, I know, I know, I know he don't "mean maybe" I gotta see my baby My Baby My Baby My Baby My Baby © Lily Taylor Music

THREAD 04:06
Silk thread woven though miles Bright blue porcelain tiles Bread, broken and offered to you You have, You have infinite. All the stories are the same It's the feelings and names that have changed Hands, hardened with time Seem so soft, when I hold them in mine You have, You have infinite Bloodlines inside and behind of you. All the stories are the same It's the feelings and names that have changed That have changed That have changed That have changed That have changed © Lily Taylor Music

PEACE THERE 04:09
Duality, challenging the balancing. Complexities break boundaries of this back and forth And then don't I wont always play the part that was expected from the start But into my arms you'll find peace there Carefully, gracefully move with autonomy sympathize Fractured fissures, then I'm stuck in the middle so I synthesize Regret not a waste of care to risk the chance of failing to draw the line So I don't I wont always play the part that was expected from the start But into my arms you'll find peace there oooo I wont always play the part that was expected from the start But into my arms you'll find peace there © Lily Taylor Music
