I wrote this song after having a very vivid dream about a conversation i was having with a giant octopus in my room. While floating around in the room as if we were in water,  I was trying to convince him to give me some of his legs so that I could get more work done.  It all felt so real and I mentioned how crazy this situation was to the Octo then realized I was dreaming and told him how I loved his world and the possibilities. 

Lyrics:
Wont you spare a leg?
You have eight and I have two
You'll still be the same
but my life would be improved
i know i am sane
But im standing here with you
while my feet are on the ceiling
creatures swim into my room

I like this world more than mine
because right here they understand
theres no wasting time on stupid shit
dont matter in the end
theres no limits to what i can do
when i am not afraid
but my sea will disappear when i come to again

Lately I've been feeling like im in a dream

How are you still here? 
I thought i woke long ago
maybe Im not real
and this whole thing is some joke
Maybe we'll all sail
for a moment in your boat
and the clocks will all stop
If we hold them close 

Octo

Technicolor Dreams

HEARTBREAK HIGHWAY

She told me I was crazy
Yeah I saw it in her eyes
And that's when she said baby
Let's leave 
Let's take a ride

Two hits
My ground is shakin
Moving the speed of light
Doin the things she's sayin 
losing my mind tonight  

Oo Im on heartbreak highway and she knows

She told me she would take me
Yeah She told me I was blind
She swore her love would save me
But that was just a lie

Two hits
My ground is shakin
Moving the speed of light
Doin the things she's sayin 
losing my mind tonight

Oo Im on heartbreak highway and she knows

I'm on the ground
I'm beggin Oh please 
Don't tell me to come
I'm beggin you please
Don't say it 
Don't say it to me
Say it Say it to me

Oo Im on heartbreak highway and she knows
Oo Im on heartbreak highway and she knows
Oo Im on heartbreak highway and she knows


Heartbreak Highway

Volcanic Hearts

For the parts of life when your mind argues with the heart. 



LYRICS: 
IN A HAZE BUT IM WALKIN ON
DOWN THE SAME STREET
BY THE PLACE NEAR YOUR HOUSE
IN THE PLACE WHERE WE'D MEET
IM OKAY BUT IM THINKING 
LOVE DONT MEAN A THING
BUT MAYBE IM WRONG
YOU LEFT YOUR LIGHTS ON

FOLLOWING THE WIND
ARE WE CAUGHT UP IN THIS GAME
SOAKING IN OUR SKIN
STARRY NIGHTS ALWAYS TO BLAME
DOIN IT FOR FUN 
ARE WE DOING IT FOR FAME?
ALWAYS ON THE RUN
TIRES KICKIN UP THE FLAMES

OH DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON
DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON FOR ME?

DO I GO UPOR STAY DOWN
DO I RUN AWAY 
I COULD LEAVE TOWN
JUST GET OUT
ACROSS THE USA
IM OKAY BUT IM THINKIN
THIS'LL GO MY WAY
BUT MAYBE IM WRONG
YOU LEFT YOUR LIGHTS ON

OH DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON
DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON FOR ME?


LATE NIGHTS
WATCHIN MOVIES
SHOULD BE ASLEEP
WHAT COULD YOU BE DOIN?
ARE YOU UP FOR ME? 


OH DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON
DID YOU LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON FOR ME?

Lights On

Every life had its hardships. The important thing is to keep hope. Keep your head up.


LYRICS: 
My love left me
Just broke my heart by the coast 
Had me feelin so low I felt like a ghost 
And the pain wouldnt fade even when I was high

I'll admit this can be quite a lonely road 
But it's nothin that I havent done before 
And the key to this living is just to survive

Oh, We all Fall Down 
Yeah we all Fall down sometimes
Oh, We all Fall Down 
Yeah we all Fall down sometimes

Cheers to lookin up
Problems in my cup
So lets drink it down 
Yeah lets drink it down tonight
Hear's lookin up
Problems in my cup
So lets drink it down 
Yeah lets drink it down tonight

Got a job 
I work hard 
it dont pay the bills
Pray to God
Im too far
He dont hear me, still..
I hold on to the hope 
He'll be sending a sign

Could give up
Hang my gloves
Find the time to kill
But it's not in my cards 
to reach for blue pills 
and the key to this living is just to survive

Oh, We all Fall Down 
Yeah we all Fall down sometimes
Oh, We all Fall Down 
Yeah we all Fall down sometimes

You can get low but keep your head up
You can get low but keep your head up
You can get low but keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up


We All Fall

Bring you big sounds from straight outta the ATX. 


INDIGO:
One time's not enough
White eyes risin up
Im blind to your bluff
No, it's not enough

Hold tight to my love
This ride's gettin rough
His tie's talkin tough
Yeah, this is enough

Take me up and down, Indigo
Take me up and down, Indigo
Take me up and down, Indigo
Oh oo oh oh 

Blue sun's gone awry
Racing to the night
Cant stop if he tries
We're gonna collide

Cant run, Wont hide
Shaking up my life
Ready to ignite...
We're gonna collide

Take me up and down, Indigo


Indigo

LYRICS:

ONLY HUMAN

Do you ever try to take 
that someone outta ur mind?
Do u ever try to pretend 
You just don't love em no more?

How much more can I take
One more word and I'll break
Into pieces of you
How much more can I take
One more word and I'll break
Into pieces of you

Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 
Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 

Do u ever see their face
And feel your soul melt inside? 
Do u ever feel like ur place
Is standing there by their side?

How much more can I take
One more word and I'll break
Into pieces of you
How much more can I take
One more word and I'll break
Into pieces of you

I'm only a low
I'm only a low 
Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 
Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 

I'm nobody 
I'm in disguise
I dance with visions in my mind
I'm nobody 
so don't you mind
while I keep
memories in these eyes

I'm only a low
I'm only a low 
Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 
Im only a low
Im only a low
Im only a low human 

Only Human

Our third single from upcoming EP, "Feel It in My Bones", due out this summer. 

A summertime track meant for late night beach parties that involve dancing around a bonfire. 



It's Alright lyrics

she's looking for her freedom while he's on her mind
searching high and low but she will never find
what became of him but the flame won't end cuz they met and fell in love

she's running out of money and she's out of time, they've got her face on tape and there's no rewind
and all the things she hid all the things she said, crazy things she did for love
he said

oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright


she's moving over mountains and she's pushing skies
she's looking for a lover that she'll never find
and she ask why, can't I leave this all behind
she's crossing over oceans with no silver lining
the loss of him has left her with no sense of time and
so it never ends, it's sink or swim for the citzens of love he said

oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright

She's giving me something, somethings taking over me
shes's giving me something, something that I'll never see

oh oh oh
it's alright it's alright

say it again, say it again




It's Alright

Nectarine

This is a little different than what we usually do and it's strange how natural and easily it all came together. This song is about never wanting to let someone down because you love them so fucking much. This song is for all of our families, our friends, our lovers, your friends, your families, your pets, your whoever you love more than anything. <3
