Failed to Start

How come you always seem so unaffected
And every move you make so perfected
I can never keep the beat when you’re on it
I go for second best ´cause I’m to scared
Easy come, easy go
I guess it goes to show that I’m not one of those
One day we’ll make it
’Til then we’ll fake it
So spare my fragile heart
How can this end when we have failed to start
Wow wow
I don’t wanna die without battle scars
Give me one last hurrah before we part
Teach me a routine and I’ll make a twirl
If I smash my guitar will you give me the world
One day we’ll make it
’Til then we’ll fake it
So spare my fragile heart
How can this end when we have failed to start
Wow wow
We’ve failed to start
I want another go

Complications
03:29
|

I feel that I deserve a break
Been waiting like a fool for a foolish dream
I jump hurdles without grace
I’m such a doormat and you’ve noticed
Na na na na
Where complications end
Where complications end and you begin
The telltale signs are hard to find
And I don’t even know where to begin
I tried my best to grow a spine
I’m such a doormat and you’ve noticed
Na na na na
Where complications end
Where complications end and you begin
Desires
Left unfulfilled
In this
War of wills
Desires
That we can’t seem to heed
In this war of wills
Na na na na
Where complications end
Where complications end and you begin

Words

We don’t need words
To talk about this
We don’t need words
‘Cause it’s all been said and all been done before
I know it’s hard but some might say
we’re better of we show some restraint
We don’t need words
In stillness we’ll find peace
So swallow those words
‘Cause this too shall pass
This will one day heal
I know it’s hard but some might say
we’re better of we show some restraint
You have come so far
but in the dark there is no more room
for this constant grieving
Oooh Oooh
You have come so far
but in the dark there is no more room
for this constant grieving
Aah Aaah

Connected

Everything’s connected
Everything connects to you somehow
Everything’s connected
Because of this I’m bound to fail again
Now I see the problems in my life
I need more than 12 steps to make things right
Everything’s connected
Everything connects to you somehow
Glossy eyes and picket fence
A surrogate for innocence
Designer drugs for kids
And we pull off the lids
I want off this ride
Everything’s connected
I’ve sung this song a thousand times
Everything’s connected
And never once did I read between the lines
Ooh ooh
Glossy eyes and picket fence
A surrogate for innocence
Designer drugs for kids
And we pull off the lids
I want off this ride
Oh my god has it come to this now
Say it isn’t true
Oh my god has it come to this now
Say it isn’t true
Say it isn’t true
Glossy eyes and picket fence
A surrogate for innocence
Designer drugs for kids
And we pull off the lids
I want off this ride

Wanted Something
03:40

This might come across as a bit weird
I’m telling you now so you won’t be scared
When I open my mouth don’t trust what it says
‘Cause half of the time it’s an intangible mess
I am caught in a loop of self-deceit
And all I want was always here by my feet
I can’t help myself
I think my wiring’s off and you know this too well
Sure I’m not right
It’s all my head
Sometimes I’m just like Don Quijote off his meds
I am caught in a loop of self-deceit
And all I want was always here by my feet
I can’t help myself
I think my wiring’s off and you know this too well
I wanted something I could never have
I wanted something I could never have
I wanted something I could never have
I wanted something I could never have
Something something

On Hart Island

On Hart Island
We share the same last name
Tell stories now forgotten
In the middle
Of the Long Island Sound
We lie waiting
All the flowers
Are just bitter reminders of
Who we once were
From Manhattan
We’re just a mistake away
So watch your step now
You might hear us
If you block out the traffic noise
You’ll hear a distant cry
Ooh
Out of sight
Out of mind
I hope some day you will find
There’s no difference between us and you
One broken heart
Might make it all fall apart
It’s too late don’t wait up
There’s no coming home
On Hart Island
We share the same last name
It’s a pain that lingers
You can see it in the eyes of the people that pass you by
Out of sight
Out of mind
I hope some day you will find
There’s no difference between us and you
One broken heart
Might make it all fall apart
It’s too late don’t wait up
There’s no coming home
In the city where I used to belong
There is something rotten something wrong
Don’t wait up

This is the requiem for the Compact Disc
You used to be our friend
You’ll be sorely missed
You were fun for a while
But sadly you went out of style
This is the requiem for the Compact Disc
Wooho

Spiders

There are spiders in the room
Hanging from the ceiling
Eating roaches from the floor
Can you hear them screaming
Is this some poor analogy
For the life in the city
Then I wish song be over soon
‘Cause it scares the living shit out of me
There are spiders down the hall
There are spiders that creep and crawl
And I wish I’d never left the comforts of my home
This is not a hotel
It’s a fucking death trap
Wish I’d never come here
And there is no money back guarantee
I fear the spiders of the Amazon
This is not a hotel
It’s a fucking death trap
Wish I’d never come here
And there is no money back guarantee
I keep my eyes shut maybe they’ll all soon be gone
And I’ve tried to call for help
But no one’s coming
My cell phone’s dead
And I assume
This is the end
I fear the spiders of the Amazon

Derelict Me
05:04

The cracks in the sidewalk are looking like crow’s feet
Bordered by white picket gates hanging by one hand
We built this home
We built this home
We built this home and we like it
Yeah we like it
Stray flowers reach up to soak in the morning sun
Weary frames standing steady against the rushing wind
We built this home
We built this home
We built this home and we like it
Yeah we like it
Feel the weight of years tug on all the walls
Dimming light that leaks out of a glass frown
Woohoo
Woohoo
Feel the weight of years traced along all the halls
One last time
You and I
One last try
You and I
Are you done with the wrecking ball

Firetop Mountain Oslo, Norway
Though they list Death Cab For Cutie, Radiohead, The Lemonheads and The Cure among the groups that have influenced them, Firetop Mountain are true originals. Their sound is an infectiously melodic combination of resonant guitars, frenetic percussion and arresting harmonies, punctuated by lyrics that are at once dreamy and emotionally haunting. Romanticized surrealism that you can dance to. ... more
