Recorded August 2016 at Portside
For optimal enjoyment, please listen to this demo through headphones

lyrics

Examine your mind and record what you're thinking
Extracting the lines out of minds we are reading
We canvas our thoughts and we paint what we're speaking

You practice your lines and rehearse when you're dreaming
Remember the times when you got to leave early
Take note of the signs when the earth isn't turning

Windows like eyes that have blinds are deceiving
I've traveled through lies, but you wouldn't believe me
You told me that time is the way I perceive things

I was snow blind to the lines you were blowing
Invested in crimes we designed without knowing
If I see you again please pretend you don't know me

Like businessmen I wear a tie, but I lie
when people ask me what I do
And those I know, they dim and glow, they're all aligned
the constellations are alive
