Adam Tell


I'm no angel, I have a history
Of acting on impulses of jealousy
I said some things that I know will haunt me to the grave
But there's nothing to do about a lit fuse except look back and wave...

Waiting at a stop sign, I can't relax
I've never been more cautious, she's like walking on glass
This girl is giving me a taste of my old self
I've been made the fool playing under her rules, and now I'm going on the shelf

Other end of the switch
She's cutting the lights and I can't see anything
Heading straight for the ditch
She set the hook and I'm tied up
Divide up what's left of our shares
She's getting them all cause I gave her everything
There's no way to repair a heart that's stolen away

Walk through the sequence and check the time-logs
There's gotta be a punch out when she turned off
Hiding in the fine print is a silver lining
She's taking me in, trading all of my sins, my bad karma's released

Other end of the switch
She's cutting the lights and I can't see anything
Heading straight for the ditch
She set the hook and I'm tied up
Divide up what's left of our shares
She's getting them all cause I gave her everything
There's no way to repair a heart that's MIA
A heart that's stolen away...

Other End


I could feel I'd fallen into a hole
Things stopped making sense a while ago
People leaving quicker than they'd appear
Won't you stick around and tell me things I don't wanna hear

I was getting good at lying low
I think my indifference was starting to show
Made me wonder why you came onto me
But I'm ok with leaving it at serendipity

I'd be lying if I said that I don't love it when you scramble my head
You're always testing my restraint, you let me loose then you pull back the reins
When you catch me feeling down, you know exactly how to bring me round
No you're nothing but bad news for the self-destructive guy you rescued

It'd be easy to fall back on my face
If you weren't here beside me sharing your grace
There were times I couldn't get out the door
Now I'm begging you to show me why we're sprawled on the floor

You've been saying it's so lovely to see
That I'm the one creating positive energy
When you found me I was working uphill
Keeping distances and promises I couldn't fulfill

I'd be lying if I said that I don't love it when you scramble my head
You're always testing my restraint, you let me loose then you pull back the reins
When you catch me feeling down, you know exactly how to bring me round
No you're nothing but bad news for the self-destructive guy you rescued

You couldn't stay away, no alibi would do
You wouldn't let me go 'til I wanted you
I began to see a different point of view
I was breaking down, now I'm breaking though
Turn the music up 'til we blow a fuse
Sing along with me, we'll make our big debut
Don't deny it girl, you're the perfect muse
You're the only one worth singing to

You're bad news for the old guy
But you're a great excuse to start a new life
We'll go slow, take the long way
"Nice n easy does it," just like they used to say
Let's shake down all the goodbyes
Close the chapter, and skip the reprise
Throw all the bad things in the archives
Nothing but you and me in the headlines

Bad News


Woke up in sweat
My body's way of making sure that I can't forget
The dream is the same
You're always gone when I call your name

The world was afire
We were young and getting high on desire
No, but you didn't stay
And I'm still trying to recalibrate

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for
I was looking for clues that didn't exist
A superficial smile, a hesitated kiss
I had it all wrong, and you made it right
You showed me the truth in what I lost that night

Play it again
That's the melody we lived in when we were friends
Four minutes of you
It always ends before I want it to

Savor the sky
This shade of blue could take me back to July
Summer was so long ago
Now I'm drowning in April snow

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for
I was looking for clues that didn't exist
A superficial smile, a hesitated kiss
I had it all wrong, and you made it right
You showed me the truth in what I lost that night

It ended with me and what I believed
Was hiding underneath the surfaces of relief
You offered me peace, I gathered for war
I didn't even know what I was fighting for

Let's not dwell on this; mistakes happen, let's move on
We shouldn't take tallies. They proved that system wrong
If you wash your hands, use my dirty water
We can come clean and we should do it together
We've got stories, roller coaster stories
And we can make this moment a tale of conquered seas
Cause I would cross an ocean of all our worst emotions
To never lose the feeling your smile gives me

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

Conversation crash, never mind, that came out wrong, don't listen to me
Let me rephrase the way I sing your song
Everything to lose, I won't take you for granted
Why say it plainly over something romantic
We've got mem'ries, disenchanted mem'ries
But we can overwhelm them with time we frame today
And give us new perspective for when we feel reflective
We can't be naive but we can meet halfway

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

All we know is what we choose to see
And all we are is whom we choose to be

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we've already lost it all



Coat Of Paint


There it is, I finally figured it out
Gimme just a second, let me jot it down
I won't let another moment slip by

It's right here, no more searching anymore
It checks out by the happy couple next door
They use this answer all the time

I'll try it out, it can't be that hard to do
The first week, sure, like breaking in new shoes
But it won't be long before it's second nature

I feel calm. It's given me clarity
Shaping all my words and carrying my feet
Never been so hopeful of the future

I know I've made progress, but I want it to breathe
I haven't been sharing it with anybody but me

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening

Stay sharp, and handle yourself with care
Search for the truth, and don't chase the dare
You can so lost without warning

Have faith in the people who taught you well
And don't ever stop listening to yourself
You both know what's best for your journey

So step up, make your case, and take aim
Shoot down your guilt, release the blame
Cause I'm done with counting the score

I think back on the night I took you home
And we dragged the fighting to the phones
What the hell were we arguing for?

I'm taking my heartbreaks and setting them free
Cause none of that matters where I'm going to be

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
A little more listening

I know you think you've gone too far
Too much remorse, too many scars
It's such a shame you've been so vain
But it's not too late to turn around
Backtrack, and take the higher ground
Everyone you love is waiting

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things (full of fixable things)
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening



Listening

The world is cold at rest on your shoulders
And we feel strangely pressed to grow older
The finite spring of youth won't matter
When all you have are never afters

Don't just stand there, take a bow
You came out on top some how
Surely, you won't miss your friends
They where whom you fought against

Our situations change and we follow
The terms we laid won't last 'til tomorrow
The white flags flew too late for kneeling
So strike your swords and start the rebuilding

Don't just stand there, take a bow
You came out on top somehow
Surely, you won't miss your friends
They were whom you fought against

State your name for the record please
You've been charged for your treachery
Do you have any witnesses
Who can speak for you and your innocence
Such a shame there's an empty stand
No one spared from your master plan
Give us time now to deliberate
Your sentencing while you just wait

Whom You Fought Against

Lyrics:

Crack the code, and cut the wire
Build a bridge, and start the fire
You say you’re home, but you’re a liar
Pack it up, it’s time to leave
Nothing here but disbelief
A heart that turned into a machine

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it 
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up

Ring it out and let it dry
Wait and see what’s left alive
But be be prepared to be surprised
Did you forget the way you came?
Did your regret give you a name?
This where you change the game

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up

Close your lips and try to speak
All the words you couldn’t breathe
Close your eyes and you will see
Face ahead and take it in
A lifetime of medicine
Isn’t out of the question


When you feel you’ve lost it all
When there’s nowhere left to fall
It’s time to rise above it all

Feel the rush in laying down
See their faces turn around
As your feet leave the ground

Hold back, how you wanna react
Keep it from front lines, in the back of your mind 
You’ve been trying to outrun, what you wanna become
It’s all gonna catch up, catch up
You crowd it, doubt it
Give it a room where it can change clothes, but you know
You’d rather die before you outrun, what you were born to become
You might let it catch up, catch up
It’s time to let it catch up, catch up

Outrun

Mastered by Fox Stevenson

Lyrics:

An open-heart policy
We made an honest fantasy
Our oldest secrets thrown away into the stream

We’re different now than when we met
We break, we fight, we get upset
I know the signs, but I can’t stand to lose you yet

Thread the stitch, don’t rip this wide open
Patch it quick before we find what’s broken
Holding onto fiction in the fire
Keeping calm while we burn, while we burn

Bleeding out, caving in
Running low on safety pins
We took the good and wore it down to the skin

We let it leave without consent
We bet it all on good intent
And now we’re left with love’s lament

Thread the stitch, don’t rip this wide open
Patch it quick before we find what’s broken
Holding onto fiction in the fire
Keeping calm while we burn, while we burn

That flicker in your eyes
Can we keep this fire alive?

Holding onto fiction in the fire
Holding onto fiction in the fire   

Fiction In The Fire

Lyrics:
The situations turning red
We’re deconstructing in the bed
But keep connected in our heads
Our inhibitions disappear
Communication’s crystal clear
We’re diving in this new frontier

The puzzle contained in these sheets
Is ours for the night to complete

Waking up to the sunrise freckles, linen circles
We’re lying on the same page
Forget about the morning decay, coffee cliches 
No pressure to close this case
   
Pillows coated in perfume
The night is scattered round the room
We’re coming back down from the moon
I’m learning you from the inside
I’m memorizing your design 
I’m finding answers in your eyes

The moment we fall into sleep
My mind rewinds, you’re on repeat

Waking up to sunrise freckles, linen circles
We’re lying on the same page
Forget about the morning decay, coffee cliches 
No pressure to close this case

There’s no mistaking where we stand
And no projections for an end
We’re moving faster than we planned
You’re feeling warmer when you sleep
It’s getting colder when you leave
Your kiss has never felt so sweet

These changes aren’t anything more
Than precisely what this love calls for

Waking up to sunrise freckles, linen circles
We’re lying on the same page
Forget about the morning decay, coffee cliches 
No pressure to close this case

Close This Case

Lyrics:

We kept our intentions in the dark
and separated the tinder from the spark
I’m sure it’s obvious to them
that we’ve been selling ourselves as just good friends
It doesn’t matter how we plead
You’re wearing my name, I’ve got your fingerprints on me
Sure, it’s been fun to play the game
But it’s time we called this by its real name 

Don’t overthink the way we feel
Anticipate the slow reveal
We’ve engineered the perfect tale
We only need to part the veil
To see what’s been there all along
See the truth behind the song
The preparations have been made
For the welcoming parade

Let’s take a walk and talk this through
Relay the messages of love we hid from view
We should be clear about one thing
There’s gonna be kisses flying all around the ring
Don’t be afraid to lose control
Sit back, relax, and watch the fireworks show
The idea’s always been the same
But it’s time we called it by its real name

Don’t overthink the way we feel
Anticipate the slow reveal
We’ve engineered the perfect tale
We only need to part the veil
To see what’s been there all along
See the truth behind the song
The preparations have been made
For the welcoming parade

Simplí - Superseded (ft. Adam Tell)

This thing has been through unrecognizable changes over the past two years, and here is the final version! Thank you, Emily for working with me every step of the way.

Mastered by Recursion
https://www.facebook.com/iamrecursion

Lyrics:

Far out at sea, alone with what she said to me,
("Please don't be this way, don't wanna fight for a shade of gray")
No final word on what we are from who we were
(Maybe time will tell if we need to be something else)

Created from nothing
Vacated two somethings

Reclaim, restore identies we had before
(It's hard to trace - I don't know the man to recreate)
We've lost the crown - the keys have all been melted down
(I don't know which flag to fly - the one we made hangs low tonight)

We're fated for nothing
We traded two somethings
We gave it everything
We made it mean something

We're fated for nothing
We traded two somethings
We gave it everything
We made it mean something

Two Somethings (feat. Emily Solo)

For all the accountants out there.

Lyrics:
Misunderstood's an understatement
And by the way, I think your cost of goods is understated

Why yes, I can do your taxes
I test controls, man I'm best at those
And if you need help with your net cash flows then I got you
Not to mention, I got partners and clients that are all up on me for my talents
Ah man, I'm not complaining, but sometimes it's hard to balance

But if I audit your cash, best believe that I'm gonna bring change
MVA, the Most Valuable Asset, chillin on a balance sheet with other prepaids
Man your criticism won't stick
See this suit, it's made of teflon
It's like I am the SEC and the rest of the rap game's Enron.

Why don't we try to converge
Close the gap between GAAP and IFRS
Why don't we try to unite
In this together, accountants-for-lifers

What's gain if you never know loss
What's gross if you never know cost
What's debt if you never know profit
and what's NASDAQ if you never own stock
What's staff if you never know boss
Deserve a little credit, no swaps
We're in your interest, this is our business and it never stops

Mitigating risk right here
Coming to collect when the checks don't clear
It's time that you all understand what we do
and you recognize what we accrue
Are you getting these puns?
Excelling at worksheets, calling it a formula one, that's racing
If money talks, all I gotta say is this is an income statement

Why don't we try to converge
Close the gap between GAAP and IFRS
Why don't we try to unite
In this together, accountants-for-lifers

Lyrics:
Big voices on the radio
Hushed whispers on the telephone
Thin walls, open airwaves
A cold case becomes a hot zone

There’s always an agenda
Only white knights and renegades
Pushing out a prejudice
And calling it “Lemonade”

They’ll always try to buy stars above
They’ll always lie about who they love
You’ve heard the names
Fake numbers get ahead in the game so
When’s push gonna come shove?

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

It takes a crowd to change a scene
No more readers to write the magazines
Betting we won’t recognize
That they decide when the rules don’t apply

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
So don’t blame the skeptics
For thinking out loud
In the battle of headroom, it’s a fight for the foreground

I know I’m not alone
In using a microphone to say
What I think should be said
I’m running it in the red

Don’t feed me tall tales
I’ll spit ‘em right back at you
You don’t know anything that nobody didn’t tell you
