walk in – you can dance a bit
and then you'll say, alright 
i don’t belong
and i'll say, you are loved you know
but dear i know you
you're always on edge

love is gone, but in your head
baby i'm with you now
and you are the one
was it real, was it wrong
baby i need you now
cause you are the one

i can’t, i can't stay with you
i'm just a memory
and you're not awake
love dear, you can't keep me here
when you're on something new
something so real

With You Now

This track is a playful take on the often elusive nature of creativity.  The track title is a riff on the opening line of The Odyssey.

LYRICS:

Every time you stare
Through the window of a blank page
You'll be looking for me

See me in the caffeine
Hear me with the cocaine
Foaming in your manic thoughts at 3am
Is where I am
You conjecture

No
Oh no no no

And we'll be holding hands when you're asleep
But when you rise I'm so long gone

I find it easy to keep
The things you want from me out of reach
And when you contemplate me
You find a country with no amnesty

And you
You're cut in two by the window
You
You're anchored to a roulette wheel
That's been fixed from the start
Place your bets and leave your money

I find it easy to keep
The things you want from me out of reach

I'm gonna get a prescription
(repeat and fade)

Happiness

The first single from Faunaphor's upcoming debut record "And There I Was"

in a library, in the summer (when I read I fall asleep)

Produced by Mike Coleman
Art by Jorge Solorzano & Jordan Stone

Found a map of a place that had been erased
By some mortar shells 100 years ago
And the town had left, and the grass had grown
And the great cathedral was scattered stone

So I made that stop on a country road
In a snowy field, where my headlights shone
Upon a great big plaque
With some dates and names
And a Latin quote about fate and grace

But it was too late - a little too late

So I sat alone on my panting hood
And I breathed and breathed until I felt good
About a world that turns in leaps and bounds
And builds great cities and flattens towns

That could lead me here back to this quiet place
A century later to think, and pace
And then return home back to my smiling world
No wiser, but a little more in awe

You asked the time
We were waiting in line
I tried to speak, but I said nothing
Late in the day, when the clouds moved away
Thought of your face and your sleeping arrangements

How long has the whole world known
That you and me were not to be?
I'm trying to let you go
But you have me completely
We burned brightly but briefly

Tell me your name and the places you've been
I'll do the same
Hey, you've gotta start somewhere
And I'll crack a joke about someone we both know
And you'll crack the smile I've been waiting so long for

How long has the whole world known
What's taken me till now to see?
It's dim where it used to glow
How long has the whole world known?

Every single dream leads one place
Back to you
But it can't be true

Tell me your name

That's a shitty excuse and you know it
Nevermind, then
Is it easier to hide it or show it?
Would you rather attack than defend?

Righteous living has left you exhausted
Even worse than
Feeling lonesome but also accosted
By invitations from well-meaning friends

At least you've got them
At least you've got them
When faces start warping and blurring
The nausea of being a person
Will you ever be certain again?

All this trading of content for comments
And attention
Makes you sick, you say live in the moment
But your face lights up every time you are mentioned

At least you've got them
At least you've got friends
When your fingers start cracking and curling
The nausea of being a person
I just want to feel certain again
