WAVELENGTH 03:43
No lights guiding our door, Night sky, you know, sort of soothing, You'll play it safe, but don't ask questions, You just wish to assume me. Consume new memories, In a, in a lifetime of inconsistencies, Where I, where I promised everything would be different, and you, you swear that things don't change I just wish you would take me over, as thunder would a lightnings sky. Don't worry 'bout an ending when we're not looking for closure, I know I'm not ready to let this all die. I never thought a wavelength would be as strong as this, I never pictured your frame of mind, I just wish you'd take me over, I know I'm not ready to let this die. Hold it, I never knew the wavelengths would get, tangled like this, I never knew anywhere but home would be safe at times like this, But you move me in brave strength, To memorize our wavelength. wishful thoughts don't move much along, when brain waves reach a similar song, I just wish you would take me over, as thunder would a lightnings sky. Don't worry 'bout an ending when we're not looking for closure, I know I'm not ready to let this all die. I never thought a wavelength would be as strong as this, I never pictured your frame of mind, I just wish you'd take me over, I know I'm not ready to let this die.

I thought that there was a sign, But maybe I misread it. And I'll hold on for the rest of my life, duly noted. I don't think about the figures, I don't think about how it affects the rest of the night, I just wish i hadn't met you, At least not at that point of my life. Where is my heartbeat? Where is my heart right now. I lost it somewhere in the street, And you locked it in your lost and found. I never thought about the figures, I never thought about how it'd affect the rest of the night, I just wish i hadn't met you, At least not at that point of my life. We should have never been alone, Yet there we stood, Home and unafraid of bones, Feeling everything we could. You forgot what you promised, Or chose not to remember, If you're keeping score then I'm keeping tally, Marks on the side of my bed. You don't think about the figures, You don't think about how it affects the rest of the night, I just wish i hadn't met you, At least not at that point of my life. You forgot how to be honest, While I tried to get better, I can't leave your valley, It's muddied and you'll leave me for dead. I never thought about figure, I never thought about how it'd affect the rest of my life I just wish i never met you, At least not at that point of the night.

Summer Rain 04:05
I'm not just speaking my mind I'm looking for a reason, To justify the beginning of this torrential season, Everything seems to be falling all at once, And harder than she's ever hit before. Seems almost like a waste of time, If we're not sure. Elegantly sip your vodka lime, Watch the rain dampen all the warmth we had savoured, And taste the bitterness on your lips. My favourite flavour. (stop all instruments) I'm not just speaking my mind I'm looking for a reason, To justify the beginning of this torrential season, Everything seems to be falling all at once, And harder than she's ever hit before. Why don't we figure this thing out, oh no I know the Summer Rain won't last forever. But it cools me down for luck, And makes me miss the sun, So why don't we taste it while it lasts. I'm not just speaking my mind I'm looking for a reason, To justify the beginning of this torrential season, Everything seems to be falling all at once, And harder than she's ever hit before. Don't overcompensate the thunder, The lightning already struck, And I've already found my luck, Ouuu don't overestimate the flood, It could sweep us off our feet, And bring us to our knees. I'm not just speaking my mind I'm looking for a reason, To justify the beginning of this torrential season, Everything seems to be falling all at once, And harder than she's ever hit before.

Weightless 03:32
Did you wish upon a star, Or just a kiss. Are you weightless from the bar, Or words on my lips. Are there sparks echoing the corridor Or distant summer fireworks of celebration bliss? Nonetheless, what a beautiful night for this. 'Cause I feel that I may float away, If I don't find my footing soon, I hope you've been thinking the same things, I see you feel weightless just like me, We can't fall unless we cut the strings, And stop the cure, 'cause we're a disease. And that's the only way it is. This doesn't mean I don't want to get my feet a little wet, I've just won wars with myself and I want to dance in the water. This doesn't mean that anything for the future is set, Just for now I've found a love, and I want to dance in the water. Cause I just might float to outer space, If I can't get this grounded soon. I hope you've been thinking the same things, I see you feel weightless just like me, We can't fall unless we cut the strings, And stop the cure, 'cause we're a disease. And that's the only way it is.

Kameleon 02:45
I love it how you looked, Smile high realizing I was here, I love how your eyes hooked, Pull me in and draw me nearer. Because I can't tell if we've Grown just a little bit stronger, Or if we've fallen in love again, This city seems a little bit taller. We can tell that this is overgrown, So save me dry season. We can't dampen anything with snow, I misunderstood what I was dreaming. I can't find what I was wishing for, Save me Mountain! I just hope that wishful thinking, Would keep this all under control. Save me Mountain I swear I'm adaptable, I swear we're adaptable, In sweater weather, we know better, Than to stay above the covers, I swear we're adaptable, It's just our garden is overgrown. You whispered humbly, "I just wish you would stay here, stay here," You held me like, You just wish I could stay there, stay there. 'Cause I hate the way you'd miss me, I just loved the way you'd kiss me. Is there room to find a compromise, To justify the distance dies before it's glamourized.

I wish I never felt your grace, Because there's something about the way you make me cry, Without ever feeling your face. I'm sorry we ever let it die. It's worlds away, I don't think I've ever made it, This far before. Thank the day, Keep it from colliding, I don't think I have an answer for, How the good girls leave you broken, Wondering where did you go wrong? Whispering, why would I waste her time, With simple song. With 4 in the morning I begin to wonder if I make sense, Or are these raw emotions, Taking over with strong pretense. With 4 in the morning, Will we ever ride each others current With 4 in the morning, I just wish things were different. Beautiful morning, Rain streamed tears down a window hue Light streamed shadows on a bed shade blue, In lines cast a witness. same shadow view, I swear it's lonely, A city could only hold me so long, But you swear that's how it's meant to be, Just hold me and witness me. But the bad girls never last, When the seasons come and gone, She'll be past, and you'll be lost, In simple song, at 4 in the morning you begin to wonder if you make sense, Or are these raw emotions, Taking over with strong pretense. With 4 in the morning, Will we ever ride each others current With 4 in the morning, I just wish things were different. Don't you ever wonder, If, I could be an example of your soul? Don't you ever ponder, with, the idea that maybe we are wrong, and that's alright? Don't you ever hold on, to, The thought of me wrapped around your arms. Don't you wish things were different among our storms. With 4 in the morning I begin to wonder if I make sense, Or are these raw emotions, Taking over with strong pretense. With 4 in the morning, Will we ever ride each others current With 4 in the morning, I just wish things were different.

Sharktooth 05:19
you said you're up for taking chances but maybe chances are all played up to what they'll really be. So, don't blame all the problems on me, I never made the promises. Oh, You can't riddle me out, I'll figure it out eventually, And that's my story, I'll be sticking to it. so Don't try to figure me out, I'm a riddle in and out, That's all you'll see. I just care about this too much, I'm afraid to see it all fail now, I'm just afraid if I care too much, Then I'll make this crash down. I'm just here to test the waters, and see if I can swim with the neon lights. I'm just wandering through an ocean, Seeing if it will make me feel alright. Won't you swim with me? Stop staring like you don't know me, You've seen inside me. Come swim with me and all the neon lights. I just care about this too much, I'm afraid to see it all fail now, I'm just afraid if I care too much, Then I'll make this crash down. I'm just afraid if I care too much, Then I'll make this crash down. you said you're all for taking chances, and maybe chances are what I really need. I've been sleepless for the past three nights, And I heard good things come in threes. So I'm up for taking chances I'm up for taking chances I'm up for taking chances. I just care about this too much, I'm afraid to see it all fail now, I'm just afraid if I care too much, Then I'll make this crash down. I'm just afraid if I care too much, Then I'll make this crash down.

It's dark and I've got feelings I might, Feelings I might lose control. It begs for just a moment of your time, So it can feed the troll. I can't remember the last time I felt helpless like this, And that keeps my mind updated since I'd rather not reminisce. It's unfocused, it's flawless in the way it cancels me out, I just.I just.I just.I just. I wonder what it's on about. That's seriously just how I feel, Stupid, and anxious about a party. If I don't leave my four walls, I'll be bawling out my eyes alone, With a bottle of bacardi, But I'd truly rather do that somewhere with you. Shakingly, heart beat meets me on the street, Walking stoned all alone, headphones set loud. The rain smells alright, but the moon is covered, at least the air is sweet, Lost, tonight, in a confused little crowd. That's seriously just how I feel, Stupid, and anxious about a party. If I don't leave this heavy street, I'll be bawling out my eyes alone, With a bottle of bacardi, But I'd truly rather do that somewhere with you. I love the warm drunk summer vibes, And a crowd of people I somewhat recognize, But they keep asking where I'm coming from, Or where I'm going, or where I've been. Just stay the fuck away from me, Stay the hell away from me, Stay away from me. That's why I never come here. That's seriously just how I feel, Stupid, and anxious about a party. If I stay behind my four walls I bawl out my eyes alone, With a bottle of bacardi, But I'd truly rather do that somewhere with you.

Amazing 02:32
Doesn't it feel amazing, Wishing we were older than we were, Waiting for wasteful youth, To pass on into adult worth. Isn't it amazing, Watching the sun grow old, Rising and falling through, a day sprinkled in gold. What am I, Waiting for, Why am I, Selfish for my own damn days, Why am I, greedy for my own ways? I'm waiting for a chance to be anything more, Than this twenty something, When I turn these bones into stones, Maybe then we'll know my worth. It's all stacked against us, Reciprocate my failures, That I blamed the world for, Saying it's all against me. I pray you all stand with me, I pray I never lose you, I pray I keep you with me, And we never lose touch. Doesn't it feel amazing, Sensing our own time, these stupid twenty somethings, Losing all their minds, And isn't it amazing The difference in growing pains. Losing our damn minds. blood foreboding in our veins

about

/music to midnight drive with/ /music to midnight cry with/

many walks of life with individual memories and exposures to different environments. did you grow up with "rugrats", or "pepper anne"? did you listen to your parents pop music, 80s synthpop, 70s disco, 2000s dance music? these are our influences and ultimately define our wavelengths and you'll find your group that responds to your references and memories because they share similar experiences. that's what this is all about. i hope it's only relatable to some of you.
