It's A Shame

"Too Late to Compromise" captures the clash in a relationship when one person isn't following through with their commitments leaving the other partner unfulfilled - When what they say they are doing doesn't line up with reality. When one partner is over promising, but under delivering.
lyrics
Verse 1:
I believe the distance from the words you choose
Is playing out in your every move
I can hear the echoes of deceit ringing through my head

Verse 2:
And I wish that we could have sustained this
The other problems start weighing
I can see a whisper of truth wringing through your hands

Chorus:
It’s too late to compromise
It’s too late to compromise X2
It’s too late to compromise
and lie in wait

Verse 3:
And I can’t take it any longer
We could have been so much stronger
If you would follow through on everything you said

Verse 4:

And I wish that we could have sustained this
I could feel the patience start waning
I can see a whisper of truth wringing through your hands

Chorus:
It’s too late to compromise
It’s too late to compromise X2
It’s too late to compromise
and lie in wait

Bridge
I can’t commit
I can’t commit X2
I can’t commit
and lie in wait

Chorus:
It’s too late to compromise
It’s too late to compromise X2
It’s too late to compromise
and lie in wait

Canyon

Embers 
Taken are we like wildfires that keep burning 
and the darkest of nights burn bright with golden embers 
and as we light up this road we’ll always remember our way home 
and the meadowland fields will grow over once again 
Loving are we in our departures and wakeful dreams 
and the memories fade in and back into dimensions 
and as we light up this road we’ll always remember our way home 
and the meadowland fields will grow over once again 
All these places are changing now (X8) 
And it hasn’t felt the same as we remember our way home 
and the meadowland fields will grow over once again

Embers

Long road 
This is a long road, I’m waiting for a sign 
Every twist and turn, still following the line 
This is a long road and some will fall out of view 
This is a long road, will it ever lead back to you 
And maybe this is your stop, I’ll pull over and open the door 
The winding twisting road, did it make your stomach sore 
This is a long road and some will fall out of view 
This is a long road, will it ever lead back to you

Long Road

Shadowcast 
Surrounded heart 
forced up through the years 
Shadowcast, feel the cold 
you trespass, when you’re close 
So go 
(X4) 
All you have to do is give your love away 
All you have to do is give your love 
(X4) 
All you have to do, all you have to do 
is give your love

Shadowcast

The Cave 
Mother’s mother came and woke me 
said it’s time now come with me 
At the mouth of - of the cave 
familiar faces call my name 
You say you want to stay 
and there will always be a place for you 
Whenever you’re ready I’ll feel a shift in the room 
You say you want to stay 
and there will always be a place for you 
There will always be a place for you 
(X2) 
When you’re ready 
I will know 
I won’t wake them 
they will feel your soul 
You say you want to stay 
and there will always be a place for you 
Whenever you’re ready I’ll feel a shift in the room 
You say you want to stay 
and there will always be a place for you 
There will always be a place for you 
(X4) 
We love we lose 
We love we lose 
We love we lose 
and then we love again

The Cave

Bold 
I still see your breath at night 
Running, running in the moonlight 
I lose, I lose you in the fog 
I trace your shape in the dark 
To be, to be bold again 
(X4) 
You, You draw me in 
By the weightlessness you wear upon your skin 
Hearing the secret before it’s left your tongue 
Feeling the earth shake from where you started from 
To be, to be bold again 
(X4)

Bold

Lyrics:

I still see your breath at night 
Running, running in the moonlight 
I lose, I lose you in the fog 
I trace your shape in the dark 
To be, to be bold again 

You, You draw me in 
By the weightlessness you wear upon your skin 
Hearing the secret before it’s left your tongue 
Feeling the earth shake from where you started from 
To be, to be bold again

Who You Are
We’re divided in this space
can always draw in lines
kick it in the next reprise
We’re quick to take each other on
folding over time
how can we depend on this?
Who you are
Who you are  
Do you ever share who you are?
You’re running out all the time
drawing battle lines
leave me out of your cold wake
I never should have carried this on
I never would have asked for this
You’re the common thread through this
Who you are
Who you are  
Do you ever share who you are?

Who You Are

Moon Palace first worked on Faultlines during the Covid-19 stay-at-home order in Washington state. Carrie Biell wrote the song in her basement studio and sent Jude the track on May 10, 2020. From there each member began writing parts at home and working together remotely to bring you this first single off their new EP.
