OKTOBA - Tongue Tied

It’ll be fine

Stone by Stone

Lyrics:

How is it she can get me feeling 
like I'm 10 ft tall? 
Like I am standing in her closet, with my arms outstretched, 
and still can't touch the wall. 

How is it she can
send me reeling? 
Like I am on all fours, from the night before,
and I just can't touch the floor.

No, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't understand.
No, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't know how she can.

And how is it she can set me off?
Like a bottle rocket screaming.
Like I have jumped off of the top step 
but I still can't touch the ceiling.

No, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't understand.
Oh, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't know how she can.

Only if I knew better.
Than I might even up the score. 
But I cannot even tell the difference between her games anymore.

How is it she can save me?
Like a follower who follows to a fault. 
Like I have stayed in bed and shaved my head, 
and changed the name that I am called.

And how is it she will confuse me?
Like a slight hand cuts a deck of cards.
And no matter what I think I saw,
I will always draw that Jack of Hearts. 

No, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't understand.
Oh, no, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't.
I don't know how she can.

HEAVY METAL BARS 

The day breaks through the nightly screens 
into a darken scenery
The last wandering light 
in a broken lens cut up in a million different sights

A place in time with no desire to be found
I guess some time this place will bloom
when renewed from me and you
when recovered from the truth

Heavy metal bars around our tiny little hearts
doing time in isolation
Every single cell locked up
no chance of recontamination




When the sun come back around the bend 
the circle must repeat itself then
But we’ll be gone without a trace

Heavy metal bars around our tiny little hearts
doing time in isolation,
every single cell locked up
no chance of re-contamination

In the morning
When the sun's wet
I will surface then sink
Down there somewhere
Unrefracted
I am breathing it in
Akin to tinder
Swaddled softly
In a filmy plastic sheet
Or a trophy
Dressed in old glass britches
I am pushing it, I am pushing it

Like the neon
On a cheap marquee
I am shaking
Until mischief
With a stone in hand
Casts out mercy
So I light up
Once more
Brighter than before
And with embers tearing downward through the cool air
I wipe my cheek
And at last I am clean

Eyes are digging
Always digging
I am buried
In the carpet
On the window sill
I rest in shades of green
Like a fungus
Or a moldy fruit
Thriving underneath
The careful watch of present-minded people
And I rise unseen
Yeah, I rise unseen
I rise unseen
Yeah, I rise unseen

I Found (Amber Run Cover)

Cheap Wine

You won't chain me to the door.

Written and performed by James Walker and Judy Blank. 
Produced by Sam Winfield at Studio 91.
Artwork by Stephane Paul (oui.non)

[Verse 1: James Walker]
Pull me closer, cut me off
You’re playing Jesus, 
but where’s your cross?
You’ll take me for granted 
But you won’t chain me to your door

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey 
But you ain’t seen nothing more 

[Verse 2: Judy Blank]
I planted flowers 
inside your chest 
that grew to gardens 
and took your breath,
Now bear this burden
You know I’ve been alone before

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But I ain’t keeping score

[Chorus: James Walker & Judy Blank]
You got me lost
In the wildest fields
Got ahold of my heart
Told me how to feel
You longed for a heart-shaped
String of green 
But all I could give you was
Thistles & weeds

[Hook]
I’ve seen wild world honey
It’s right in front of me

[Verse 3: James Walker]
So uproot the roses
Untether ties 
Unlock my handcuffs 
Unfreeze my mind 
You’ve been using my kindness
And you refuse look inside 

[Hook]
I’ve seen the wild world honey
But you can’t open your eyes 
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
To see the wild world honey
It’s no big surprise 
(You got me lost in the wildest fields)
I’ve seen the wild world honey
It’s not by your side

Lose It All
