Safe For Now
01:44
|
|||
|
all the weary travelers go by
hoping not to stop under the knife
mindlessly swaying side to side
we know in time no one will be alright
|

driving with earphones on
I could be anyone
I feel anonymous
driving with earphones on

The Bridesmaids' Mic
03:36
|
|||
|
stage side the bridesmaids fight
over a solitary mic
they fight for scraps and shreds of light
dark spots in a starless sky

Soft Satellites
04:02
|
|||
|
the future is over
we are forever
we move among the jettisoned
broken bits of everything
the future is over

Don't Go To Parties
03:30
|
|||
|
honey lie with me a while
we'll tell them everything is alright
don't go to parties anymore
now that we're ruined
what's the point?

Someone Out To Sea
05:52
|
|||
|
I'm taking someone out to sea
the waves will keep a secret for me
taking out this ship to wreck
return with a bird around my neck
I'm taking someone out with me

Twist
03:10
|
|||
|
don't lean on me
my frame is rust
my shoulders slack
my skin is cracks
my brain is cork
my way is down
my past is blank
I'm all clean now
twist amidst the leaves with all the other broken things
hide beside the the thieves and all the other broken people
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
sitting silent in your car
just admit we've come a long way so far
such a long drive for people going nowhere
hypnotized by the stars
|

Cities Of Teeth
03:23
|
|||
|
cities of teeth
the world an open mouth
just waiting for your blood
to come pouring out
jagged city skylines
eye teeth wait to see
the open air a vessel
waiting to receive you
|

Cold Waves
03:45
|
|||
|
the dead girl in the window
with the drawing of her killer
they will always be together
married on paper
|

Chemicals Awry
05:28
|
|||
|
bite the lip and strain to lift
another heavy sigh
heartbeats behind cold lifeless eyes
chemicals awry
worm on a hook
babe in the woods
flower in ice
a poetic device
page from a book
babe in the woods
day in a life
a poetic device
feels like another hard winter

Rottinghouse Detroit, Michigan
Rottinghouse is Detroit-born dark wave. A multimedia collaboration between Jaye Thomas (Rogue Satellites) and Courtney Spivak (Ex American). Electronic beats pulse and thump beneath a minimalist wall of analog synths. Thorny lyrics weave dark, emotive satires on the icy surface. The songs are accompanied by visuals that frame the music somewhere between nightmare and nostalgia. ... more
