Get Along

The third single of the upcoming release Sketches of the Moon. Ignoring it is an ode to escapism.

You keep ignoring it
Keep ignoring it
it only wears you down

You keep ignoring it
it only wears you down

Don’t start
I’ve heard it all
Don’t give me this spiel again

You keep ignoring it
Keep ignoring it
It only wears you down

Don’t start
I’ve heard it all
Don’t give me this spiel again

You lick your wounds
catch your face in the mirror
you overhear someone say it should kick in by now
you lost your cool
and you fell for it
you lost the things that kept your mind off of it
you bite your nails
and you pout your mouth
it's been so long how come you're still so down

carved me out of juniper and nest inside my bones
you cut off the oxygen and watch my face turn cold

Ignoring It

All your sketches of the moon
brought me back
for a while we were immune to the sands of time

But you came out ripe and tender

All your stories end too soon
you talk too fast
all those things you said you’ll do
stuck in the past

But you came out ripe and tender
what an awful way to break the spell

wont you cut yourself (some slack)

Sketches Of The Moon

With a melody reminiscent of a schoolyard chant, 'Get Along' is a playful, defiant celebration between partners in crime. 

Lyrics:
Got myself a new style
And I strut around in circles
Throw me all your bread crumbs
And I’ll spit them right back towards you 

Take me to your favorite spot and watch me waddle

And I think we’ll get along
Get a long night of sleep tonight
And I think we’ll get along
Get a long conversation about this when we get home

Cheeky little princess
Let me sleep inside your castle
Tapping on the sundial
As she slips into her nightgown

Five o’clock is late at night if you’re a toddler
And I think we’ll get along
Get a long hard look at yourself
And I think we’ll get along

Ladies and gentlemen and beyond
This is your captain speaking
Aimlessly into the abyss
And I think

And I think we’ll get along
Get a long night of sleep tonight
And I think we’ll get along

Moments ago you were but a child
Grass stained knees down the waterslide
A supervillain with a magnifying glass
Each nosebleed lasting longer than the last
Drive your heart into head first collision
Feels like time is running away from you

Sure how can you be so 
Sure how can you be so
Sure how can you be so

Unbreakable like your nokia phone
cause you never plan on growing old

drive your heart into head first collision
feels like time is running away from you

Sure how can you be so 
Sure how can you be so
Sure how can you be so

Sure

A few decades ago, there were no red grapefruits.
The Ruby Red grapefruit, which now accounts for 75% of all grapefruit is the poster child of an experimental form of agriculture known as atomic gardening which uses radioactive cobalt-60 to spur mutations in plants.

The practice gained popularity after WWII as part of the Atoms for Peace program, establishing Gamma Gardens in the worlds nuclear states.

The radioactive source was placed in the middle with plants laid out like slices of a pie, exposing them to varying amounts of radiation.

Closest to the center, the plants would just die, and slightly further out they would grow tumors and other abnormalities, but around the edges a rich variety of mutations would develop, which would be selected for desirable traits and cultivated further.

For a brief period in the 50's and 60's, atomic gardening was quite popular, especially in the UK, where the Atomic Gardening Society would distribute radiated seeds for laymen farmers to grow and report back the results.

Despite the initial hype, the Atomic Gardening Society failed to produce anything of particular interest and as nuclear energy grew increasingly disfavorable in the public eye, atomic gardening became a lot less cool.
