I see your face in the mirror
past
In your summer dress
I say feel fine
I say feel fine

The women they clean my pool
at night
As I dive deep
I tell them I feel fine
I tell them I feel fine

Boy calm down
I’ll come to you
In these summer nights
In these summer nights

Left to die
The cicada sings
I’ll come to you
If you want me

In These Summer Nights

My friends and I
Drove through the night
Wishing time
Would take your off my mind

I lost a fight
Chasing pride
Wishing time
Would take you off my mind

Lights below
Only ever seem to shine when
you’re alone
In the backseat white lines aglow

Is it too late to know
Only ever meet your gaze when
we’re alone
In the backseat white lines aglow

I’ll put it in the wind
I swear I’m gonna change
Tomorrow’s another day
I’ll be the one to blame
With you
With you

I put it in the wind
I swear I’m gonna change
Tomorrow’s another day
If I am
With you
With you

And will you lose yourself now
Don’t want to think
Watch yourself fall below
Don’t want to sink

And will you be the scared one
Don’t look that way
You can stay another hour
I got to say

And we can make a big noise now
With what we think
I want the world to open up
I want to sink

I dreamed a dream
Had a daughter
Fell asleep again
Just to hold her
She came to me
Are you my father
Wish I could believe

These will be my final hours
Do what you want
With me

If I only were much older
I might forget
To leave

But the water is rising
Future’s chosen
We’re going down
But the lift is broken

These will be my final hours
Do what you want with me

Whatever I need to be
My thoughts will find you
My thoughts will find you
And I will be

To Sink

Young blood
Pumping my heart
In the parking lot
It’s all I got now

I was proud
But I was scared some
We hid in the forest
And watched the cars roll
On the highway
Eyes are blinding

Along the backroads
The dark roads
Till there were no stars
Searching searching
Till the line went dead
Message sent
Shipwrecked

Can’t move my feet
Can’t feel my face
I swear I saw you looking at me
On the other side of a crowded parade
You must be a specter
Cause you’re disappearing again

With the windows down
Can’t catch my breath
Till the city limits
The sun sets

Hours pass but I can’t rest
Arms are heavy it’s all a test
All I got now
Only heart
All I got

Can’t move my feet
Can’t feel my face
I swear I saw you looking at me
On the other side of a crowded parade
You must be a specter
Cause you’re disappearing again

Young Blood

I would walk to your house
Sometimes the lights were out
Sometimes I wouldn’t make it
Sometimes I turn around

I would buy a ticket past
All the juvenile scars and masks
I
I would enter in my name

All
All
All to win

To Win

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e_8bNmcwaY

Ah like your summer skin
I fall again
I watch you on the news

I take the fault
Oh when you’re open all
All fades away
I’ll swoop around and take you 
Back again

I fool myself
I’ll wait
Always!

Skin On Skin


Break your back of stone
Walk the distance home
Take three steps and turn
lift up your eyes 
now learn

And
I can make you beautiful again


Enter


Everyone's around but they're not you
I have been around and I feel used
By you

Don't blame me for your feelings
Its not like you don't care
Don't you see with your head on the ceiling
Don't you fall with your feet in the air?

Turning in your sleep
Bluest bruises covered in leaves
Tell me what to speak
Calling I'll do anything
Please

Don't blame me for

Everyone's around but they're not you
I have been around and I feel used
By you


Back Roads That Dead End


I saw my mother
looking back at me
In the mirror 
her eyes lit
In my fits and dreams

She said
Son I know where you have been
Its not alright 
to run from what's ahead

Wait
For a minute if I stay, 
Oh my fear 
Is what you wake
From your outer space
And Ill pay for it

Wait
For the light to fade away
Cus in my dreams I - 
But it is nothing I can say
And Im paying for it

Who are you 
Who are you
You are my frontier 
I am your
Your only 
In between what is

In Fits In Dreams


Spitting fire
In your eyes
Make a promise 
Just for tonight
We may dance in sweet romance
Loose your mind
And take a chance

My words are failing you now
My ways will end us somehow

Spitting fire in your eyes
Make a promise
I'll leave you
tonight

I don't need
Need your things
I got my
My own things
In the material world my fears are full
and my hands incomplete 


Last Cicada

Formed in upstate New York, now based in San Francisco, YASSOU is a six piece art pop band that makes tightly composed  music with integrity. Anchored by the mesmerizing stage presence of  lead-singer Lilie Hoy, YASSOU employs unconventional song structures, shifting time signatures, and stunning video storylines.

Compared to the likes of Radiohead and FKA twigs, Billboard has recently named YASSOU a band that “should to be on your radar”, while Delusions of Adequacy called them “what the people want.”
 
Their 2013 EP “In Fits In Dreams” garnered widespread press attention. A striking collection of songs, it features the vocals of former Smashing Pumpkins’ bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur. In 2015, they released an untitled Video EP, a six song project crafted around a singular story and emotional experience. Released in an “album cycle” of single videos, NYLON pronounced the EP as “redefining the album” in our current era of digital democracy. The videos were created and co-directed by Hoy, alongside various Bay Area artists and exemplifies YASSOU’s creative allure. 
 
YASSOU premiered their first full-length composition at the Louisville Ballet this September to standing ovations. Alongside the works of Tchaikovsky and Philip Glass, their performance is part of the 2016-17 season and was accompanied by the Louisville Symphony and the ballet’s original choreography. YASSOU began 2016 opening for The National and is now filming their next video project.
 
“You fall in love with their sound, their image, and their message all at the same time” wrote Apes on Tape in a 2015 interview. Dark yet ethereal, YASSOU embodies an art that is bold, emotional, and immediate.
