La Notte Dei Dannati as a symbol for our story burn the note
Hide the crime
Crisis twice averted since I saw the flame inside your cup and sighed
Was never worth your time
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Was never worth your time
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
For what it's worth I think I'm finally free
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
But not that you care since callous is your creed
Tragedy is worse than fiction
Still I bare its symmetry in life
It fades with time
You're not my friend you never were
Cuz friendship needs a fool and not a thief
You thieved the pined
Was never worth your time
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
For what it's worth I think I'm finally free
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
But not that you care since callous is your creed
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Was never worth your time
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
For what it's worth I think I'm finally free
Nothing 'bout you screams love or grace to the rest of us
But not that you care since callous is your creed
Hey!

I'm betting
All my money on you
I'm betting
All my
I'm betting
All my money on you
I'm betting
All my all my all my
Love is something that we were not truly meant for
So say the lawn chair dads with the skittish brains and troubled kids
But it's worth a shot cuz the price at hand is the price they pay
Yeah, I'm willing to give it all if it takes away the pain
Can I even afford it?
A tender love of two souls that seem so sweet
To take it or want it?
I know my needs and I'd die on a hill for each
And I'm trying to afford it
But love like this is well beyond my reach
Say ah if you want it
Ah
Oh, dancing in my head
Oh, we're dancing in my bed
Oh, fancy in the rain
Oh, we're fancying out the pain
I'm betting
I'm betting
I'm betting
I'm betting
All my, all my, all my
Friends 'til the end and it doesn't even even wanna stop there
Yeah, the only end I know is the one that happened twice ago
And our soul's trajectory surpasses all forms of generation
And the way you love me even makes me like this simulation
And I'm trying to afford it
A tender love of two souls that seem so sweet
To take it or want it
I know my needs and I'd die on a hill for each
And I'm trying to afford it
But love like this is well beyond my reach
Say ah if you want it
Ah
Oh, dancing in my head
Oh, we're dancing in my bed
Oh, fancy in the rain
Oh, we're fancying out the pain
I'm betting
I'm betting
I'm betting
I'm betting
All my, all my love for you
Oh oh oh oh
La la la
La la la

Not So So-So Anymore

I would choose your smile in a crowded room
With a blindfold on my senses tangled up in blue
All the backseat operators have no defense against
The trials of this lost and pining soul
But they get me on my feet every time I scrape the street
It's honestly, more often than it should
I just can't feel bad anymore
I was back on the verge of dropping out of life
Cuz I never saw the point in anything at all
Cuz there's so much light in everything I touch
Cuz everything I touch is something that I love
Never fond of being sad
Even though it seems to be our truest
And our most defaulted mode
So let's burn some shit and dance around the flames
Just like we used to before we all got this old
We just can't feel bad anymore
I was back on the verge of dropping out of life
Cuz I never saw the point in anything at all
Cuz there's so much light in everything I touch
Cuz everything I touch is something that I love
Where is the home for all my woe
No, no, no, no, no
There's room for heaviness
There's room for everything that you stole
Bring it home
I just can't feel bad anymore
Cuz I can't just drop out
Simply cause I never saw the blatant point in anything at all
Cause there's so much light in everything we touch
Cause everything we touch is something that we love
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Can't say
Can't say
The basement's damp
At Hayes' Cafe
Boy talks to girl
Girl talks to girl
Oblivious oh
Oblivious oh
The hint was lost
His charm suave
It only works
On guys his age
Oblivious oh
Oblivious oh
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Wake up baby can't you see
Your hearts not pounding for Marie
Search around and find your kind
Accept your fetish for mankind
Oh, his heart belongs to every boy in El Paso
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
I feel light when they've all left, just you in the endless hours
Love the way we have so much to do
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun
Can't say, leave it the same oh it's the new sun

Chardonnay Chalet

My click-clack is not working
Patrick's synth contains a faulty wire
And Alma's amp is stuck on mute
I refuse to perspire
Uh-huh chase the dream, only to suffer
With every shortcoming, I must work harder
But then I'm met with ease
Cuz they're my best friends
They get me out my head and realize that all fame is dead
Hot heat is my favorite friend
I like the way it coats my skin
We're running to feel fast and free
I now understand
Uh-huh, give us space, we're bumpin' "Jock Jams"
In the chardonnay chalet, I can't stop laughing
Notebook marsupial is straight-up cursed
But it brings me back to life, star gazing in the Bell Creek bend
And then the snow is falling in our house, cause of a treadmill
And I finally know, what it means to be lucky
Get it
Ah

Counting that star when my luck's away
The Dharma's in place, but it's not the same
Cuz love's worth more than voltage anyway
Something's not right with your playful tone
I killed myself twice before I picked up the phone
I felt your mother's pain in the store
J-word's got a fright, cause he cannot get it right
He should've heard me out when I told him keep it nice
But that's the price you pay on your own
But here comes someone new
Ah
Cuz when I think of thee
I know I've found
The path of divinity
I finally have the choice
To end that anomaly
I'm feeling sound
In comfort by proximity
And all I know is bliss, my former enemy
Bliss is the calling of empathy
Save for the moments of course
You're the chrysalis of my new source
Everything's found, yeah I'm deemed to be too
I'm never getting older, I'm so grateful for you
And that begins the chapter
Yeah that begins the chapter, now I'm home
I'm home

Let's Become Wicked
03:38
|

Ah
Alarm for five oh three am
So I can tell you who I am
Forever damned
So I'm barking nonsense on the phone
An attempt to make you less alone
Guess I've grown
Woo
What do you know
Apparently my charm can no longer save me
We already know
Woo
What do you know (Some people like to be wicked)
Apparently my charm can no longer save me (Some people like to be fun)
We already know (Either way we blame our upbringing)
Woo
What do you know (Some people like to be wicked) (W-I-C-K-E-D)
Apparently my charm can no longer save me (Some people like to be fun) (W-I-C-K-E-D)
We already know (Either way we blame our upbringing) (W-I-C-K-E-D)
No need for answers all the time
Some things aren't meant to be a bind
Let's be kind
Should you call me twenty days ago
I'd be down bad crying on the floor
But no more
Phoebe said you can't trade tears for riches
What am I to do with worthless fortune
So I'm letting go of misery once more
What's the point if all you get is weeping
Is weeping
Da da da da da da da da da
Ah
Ah
Da da da da da da da da da
Ah
Ah
Ah

Four Steps
03:57

I'm at the point where I can't even recognize you
And all our promises are hemlock and sumac to my core
I'm ripping pages out my useless mind
The one that had me think these pages were each novels
And each chapter was a sign
That was meant for me, everlasting love divine
Ha! Ha
There you are, hiding in the city boats
There you are, every stain on that guy's teeth
There you are, laughing at the simpletons
But little did you know, every person is a mirror
Every passing day makes the memories seem far away
But healing is a game, every person here deserves to play
Ha! Ha
Thank God I'm not your mirror
Ah
Yeah
Sometimes we fall for fiendish smiles
Sometimes we fall for guys on trial
But either way, we know our roles with guys we can't console
I'm at the point where I don't need to think about you
Cause cupid's power
Has shook your disease out of my core
I'm drawing flowers round my lover's name
They're filling pages and I'm glad to be back to feeling sane
In a way that only love could ascertain
Ha! Ha

I've counted ninety times where we stuck around
Since staying up with you confirms our vibe extends abound
But our energy's a lot like something secret
I would hide for the sake of protecting you
And with both our hearts at stake
Yeah, there's no chance that I'd take in losing you
Oh, you
Promise me we'll keep on breaking through
I've met with seekers, they're already found
I've danced with non-contenders, always trying to sound profound
But they'll fuck you and then leave you in an instant
That's why I'm always staying here with my crush on you
And with both our hearts at stake
Yeah, there's no chance that I'd take in losing you
Oh, you
Promise me we'll keep on breaking through
And with both our hearts at stake
Yeah, there's no chance that I'd take in losing you
Oh, you
Promise me we'll keep on breaking
Promise me we'll keep on breaking
Promise me, promise me
We'll keep on breaking through

It's time to end uncherished days
I'm sick and tired of them too
But as we grow we play along
It's getting harder to undo
Everything I've worked for
And everything I've died for
And everything I've done for you
Is worth every moment
The moments keep coming
Just add it to our endless virtue
Everything's a dream when you're calling my name
Everything's a dream, yeah, everything's a dream, yeah
I'm so in love with your countless joyful ways
And so I will impress the sunlight's splash against your face
And when there's no more time I'll make more time to say to you
Love is always bright and I feel so bright with you
I've got some sinning left to do
Yeah, in the allegoric way
A captured deer is not a fawn
So stop and don't hear what it says
Cuz everything I've worked for
And everything I've died for
And everything I've done for you
Is worth every moment
The moments keep coming
Just add it to our endless virtue
Everything's a dream when you're calling my name
Everything's a dream, yeah, everything's a dream, yeah
I'm so in love with your countless joyful ways
And so I will impress the sunlight's splash against your face
And when there's no more time I'll make more time to say to you
Love is always bright and I feel so bright with you
It's time to end uncherished days
I'm sick and tired of them too
But as we grow we play along
It's getting harder to undo
I am so in love
Oh I am so in love
It's getting harder to undo

Pleasantness
03:57
|

|
Yeah, we're all just sitting and trapped in our rooms, there's nearly nothing to do
And so I think of my time with all of you
It helps to pass all these days until reminiscing turns blue
It's clear that new memories are due
I'm still unsure if it will ever happen
Wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Yeah, I wanna freak all the crowds and get lost in a new town with all of you
And then we'll do it tomorrow too
It helps to pass all these days until reminiscing turns blue
From all the laughter that surely ensues
I'm still unsure if it will ever happen
Wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Count each night, there's few between that won't offer you anything
Now I suppose I appreciate the time I've spent learning
But wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Wouldn't it be pleasantness
Just to travel around the world with you
Now it's only pleasantness
Since we get to start the world anew
Now it's only pleasantness
Since we get to start the world anew
Now it's only pleasantness
Since we get to start the world anew
Now it's only pleasantness
Since we get to start the world anew
Now it's only pleasantness

Electric Spring
03:32

Unrequited love and me
Were jailed as one my only guarantee
My guarantee
Until you hooked me in with charm
Unlocked my key and now I'm in your arms
I'm in your arms
And I will always be your friend
Cause nothing ever could make that end
I long to sit and hold your hand and close my eyes and dream of foreverland
Your warmth is always round the bend
Electric spring has come and will not end
It will not end
And I will always be your friend
Cuz nothing ever could make that end
I long to sit and hold your hand and close my eyes and dream of foreverland
No I never had the chance to get these stupid feelings in place
So I let them ruminate in ways that make me feel so insane
And just because I didn't doesn't mean I won't
It doesn't mean I'll love less, no no no I don't
Because there's more to life than living in this mess
I think I've found the way to never acquiesce
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

d'Lakes Minneapolis, Minnesota
Having captured the hearts of fans near and far, d’Lakes extracts the weirdness of forgotten 80’s new wave tracks, the production sensibilities of the kaleidoscopic aughts, and a live show reminiscent of an overblown community theater production.
