All It Takes lyrics by Empathy Test

Woke up at her place, tired and yawning
Looked out a window on a, perfect morning, there’s a 
Sailing boat, in the square
Just like me, wondering how it got there.

Stood by her bed, and I, watched her sleeping 
Through her scattered clothes, I go creeping
And I’m wondering
What the hell am I, so afraid of? 

This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
This is the beginning of something wonderful.

This is the beginning of something wonderful.
This is the beginning of something magical
And all it gives, and all it takes away.

Woke up at her place, early evening
She floats towards me and I’m, barely breathing, there’s a 
Ray of sun, in her hair
Just like me, wondering how it got there.
 
Stand on the ledge, and I, walk out on the air  
I could die here and I, really wouldn’t care
I’m dropping in, I’m dropping out
I’m calling in, I’m calling out.


This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
This is the beginning of something wonderful.

This is the beginning of something wonderful
This is the beginning of something magical
And all it gives, and all it takes away.

Dry docked and landlocked
What the hell am I, so afraid of?

EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT LYRICS

As the dawn breaks, on the last day -
Of a long, long year,
My head aches, but the bedroom is bright and 
I'm wide awake.
And you’re here -
And it's such a relief to finally 
Have you near ...
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind -
Heavy on my mind …
 
But I've got this funny feeling everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything will work out
I've got this funny feeling that everything 
Will fall --- into place.
 
So pack up your things and just leave him,
Come right out and just tell him where you were tonight.
Or kiss him tonight with the same mouth,
You used on me in my ... cold house,
And I promise I won't tell.
But I almost hear you thinking,
I can almost hear you thinking,
About ... him.
And all that you'll leave behind,
Lies heavy on your mind -
Heavy on my mind …
 
Here I go, another romantic on overflow,
I locked you out but you won't go,
The keys tied round your neck
Haven't quite strangled you yet.
And I live with my regrets,
Like you with your cigarettes,
I long to give you up,
Before you kill me.
 
We're too tied, too well-tied together.

Mannequin is proud to present new music from Austin,TX 
based full-analog-synth quartet S U R V I V E. Their first LP 
is a highly anticipated release and we're more than thrilled 
that the vinyl is finally out. 
 
"An analogue incarnation of Rustie taking a couple of notes 
from Eduard Artemiev’s poetic account of a supernova 
imploding upon itself in a storm of strobe lights which are but 
morse signals from God’s ship as it sails across the empty 
black sludge of space, annotations in a sheet music for a 
jam bound to send Astronomers all over the planet into a 
frenzy of air keyboard slapping and knob twiddling"-20 Jazz Funk Greats  
 
Adam Jones, Kyle Dixon, Mark Donica, Michael Stein form the analog synth purist band 
SURVIVE, considered as one of Austin's most important live electronic mainstays. With 
Austin's diverse underground synth scene starting to boil over (see: Neon Indian's world 
domination, Silent Diane's new single on Matador imprint True Panther, //TENSE// early 
EBM shocks and Sleep ∞ Over's debut on Hippos In Tanks), SURVIVE is creeping up, not 
far behind.  
 
LP Version: Limited edition of 300 copies, 140 gr clear vinyl 
 
DIGITAL Version: Distribution through The Orchard in the most important digital stores 
(iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, Nokia, Spotify and many others). 
 
Tracklisting: 
 
A1 Deserted Skies 
A2 Floating Cube 
A3 To Light Alone I Bow 
A4 Hourglass 
A5 Omniverse 
B1 Black Mollies 
B2 Scalar Wave 
B3 Shunting Yard
