lyrics

It's a cold call but I won't come undone. It's a cold call but I'm still the one. I live in my head, a parallel space. Invent scenarios to save face. Pretend that everyone’s dead and gone. It’s 3:14 am, it’s too late to say goodbye. I shout love and shine like candy floss lipstick. Never touched your lips, I sing unbuttoned, my fingers on strings never slip, do all the tricks -- impress everyone else but you. The arc of stars follow you and lights up the dark spaces, you see through me you do.
Well, the ending of this book is still the same, though I ripped out pages 44 to 110. The chapter where I leaned into your coat, and buried my face in your chest, you know the rest, your hand at the small of my back….or was it my throat?
If there’s an echo in this room well, your card's up for renewal, and you do need approval, so put the book back on the shelf and back out slowly. Cause page 65 was a baldface lie, when you told me to get a life. Get a life! I shout love and shine like candy floss lipstick. Never touched your lips, I sing unbuttoned, my fingers on strings never slip, do all the tricks -- impress everyone else but you.

La Force
by La Force

La Force can start into Pump Up the Jam and blow it up and rebuild it into her own song The Tide in live concert. She has so many super powers. Listen and be under her spell. buttonfly

Really Well
by Mauno

The power of this band is in the spaces -- the gap as you leap over a swollen river. The breaks between guitar sounds that tap into your psyche. Vocals that hum in the dark just when you need them. buttonfly
