Dial Tones

I went without a fuss in the dead of night
In the back of your sedan like a little child
You drove me all the way to the county line
Said "don't be a stranger, goodbye"
(I wonder) What took you so long to see
I don't believe, I don't believe a word that you say
It's better off this way

Cuz I don't know the pleasure without the pain
Your body glistening off the window pane
Your voice inside my ear whispering my name
I'm here to stay
Honey I'll never let you go just stay a while
Your fingers through my hair go a thousand miles
I don't mean to stare I just know that this is it for a while

For a long day I was by myself
Your headlights turn to teeth in the devil's mouth
Oh I could spend eternity gazing out
Look for myself on the horizon
I wonder what took you so long to see
I'm incomplete, I'm not a real fucking adult yet
I'm trying though

Cuz I don't know the pleasure without the pain
Your body glistening off the window pane
Your voice inside my ear whispering my name
I'm here to stay
Honey I'll never let you go just stay a while
Your fingers through my hair go a thousand miles
I don't mean to stare I just know that this is it for a while

Glistener

Waiting til they call your station
Romanticise the small decision
I’d be there in two minutes walking

Cracks let in a light two seconds
A stranger wears your walk and fragrance
Then I overheard a southern accent

Damian calls with their whereabouts
A park somewhere far out of town
I doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own
 
Everything I see is clouded
With your views and prejudice about it
I guess we covered all that there is

Damian calls me with their whereabouts
He’s been on to me for hours now
Doubt that I will come around

This cold heart wouldn’t open twice
I have sealed it shut and I’ve forced it to close

I wonder how your day turned out
More so than I wandered my own

You know how I could go about
Every place and every fucker I loath
 
I wonder how your day turned out
Mine just turned one hundred years old

Fragrance

Try to describe
What goes behind your eyes 
And mimic the sounds 
I want to hear them every night

Oh, I don’t wanna go inside
No, no, no, not yet, not now
Your disciple in the evening hour
I don’t know a single thing but you can

Teach me
Teach me
On and on and don’t slow down

Teach me
Teach me
On and on and don’t slow down

Wine on the porch
What do you need me for hey?

I just wanted more 
Than these twenties spent depressed and crying on the floor

I don’t wanna go inside
No, no, no, not yet, not now
Your disciple in the evening hour
I don’t know a single thing but you can

Teach me
Teach me
On and on and don’t slow down

Teach me
Teach me
On and on and don’t slow down

A lot to lose when anything goes through
A lot to lose when everything hurts you

Teach me
Teach me
On and on and don’t slow down

A Million Doubts

you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
and all the hipsters and has-beens 
well, they can all just fuck off

and it's been eating my heart out
and now it's gone to my head
that we have peaked for some months now 
and this is all gonna end

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down
darling, we're picking up speed

and all the shit that I'm talking 
it's just nonsense and slurs
but I'll be fun around your friends 
oh they're glad for their girl

yeah we can put on a show huh 
and are you proud of me then 
you know I love how you hold us 
in the palm of your hand

darling, we're picking up speed

and now she's waiting in the hall
yeah everybody here is just so weird but you're not at all 
you worry about the consequence of leaving for the terminal 
I worry about how fast I'll wear you down

you picked the shirt that I'm wearing 
ah did you not honey love
cuz you got great taste in fashion 
and surely I, I have none

The Moth

"Right Direction reflects a moment of déjà vu in a relationship, realising that you have had the same on-again-off-again toxic scenario on repeat. It represents a pivotal moment that you can’t unsee or turn back from when gaslighting and manipulation bubbles to the surface. This song is about no longer second-guessing yourself, regaining your self-confidence and strength to move on."
