First song on our new double "Slow Blink" 

Slow Blink

This Is The Song

Alone again

Invisible LpStk

“She Goes” draws you into the pull of the unknown — hypnotic repetition and haunting melodies create a dreamy, emotional atmosphere that lingers long after the last note.

She Goes

My Friends

[Verse 1]
There’s a man on the corner with a jacket too big,
Counting the cracks like they’re notes on a grid.
He talks to the air like it’s something he trusts,
And the silence replies with a layer of dust.
“I’m not crazy, I’d rather be dead,”
The man said sternly to the voice in his head.
But the words fall flat, like a song out of tune,
While the sky hums softly with a paper-thin moon.

[Chorus]
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s lost, then he hides it in the fold of his smile,
Walking with the madness like a friend for a while.

[Verse 2]
He folds paper birds out of receipts in his hands,
Lets them all fly where the lamppost stands.
The world keeps spinning, but he stands still,
Wrapped in a blanket that the night can’t fill.
And when he laughs, it’s a fragile sound,
Like glass in the wind, falling down, down, down.
But he catches himself with a shake of his head,
Repeats that same phrase he already said.

[Chorus 2]
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s lost, then he hides in the hum of the night,
Holding hands with madness till the morning light.

[Bridge]
Maybe he’s broken, maybe he’s free,
Maybe he’s something I wish I could be.
Dancing with shadows, refusing the cure,
He says he’s not crazy—
But I’m not so sure.

[Final Chorus] 
And I just watch him fade into the streetlight glow,
Carrying a secret only he could know.
If he’s gone, then he’s found in a world of his own,
Building quiet kingdoms where he’s never alone.

The Magic Mountain

V1 
And life all just play pretend 
And I believe my dreams are real, still 
Playing over tapes in my mind 
and reality’s the case behind

If life is all just one quest to align  
I’m drawing lines around water lines 
So many other possibilities 
and it all begins to make sense to me 

Ch1
Once I’m in safe arms
I don’t need an alarm
Just let me open 
it's all in my head 
Until you see just what I said 
Slowly unfolding 

V2 
If life is more than just space and time 
Then I guess I’m not falling too far behind 
Too many unknown callers on the line 
And they’re intense with their two cents
When they haven’t even tried
Said we can all play pretend, it just a frame of mind 

Ch2
Once I’m in safe arms
I don’t need an alarm
Just let me open 
It's all in my head 
Until you see just what I said 
Slowly unfolding 

Outro 
Hey, hey
Do you really want to stay here? 
Don’t you know you can play here

Play Pretend

Brand New

Ive been keeping to myself 
Thinking that, you’d come around 
I’ve been lying to myself 
Hoping that what we had was real 
& it dawned on me maybe 
You never wanted to know me? 
You would fall in me baby 
Whenever we’re feeling lonely 

& it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 


Drink so much we drown 
Was I looking for them in unfamiliar faces? 
In his voice i thought i heard your sound 
Wonder if you’ve fallen for another ones graces? 
In the darkness lately 
I imagine your arms around me 
When the dawn breaks baby - you’re no where to be found 

it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
now I’m coming down 
Off the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair
