1.	Coffin For Our Love 03:09	lyrics	buy track
Coffin For Our Love You walk in grinning your grin and quickly it's quite clear I still can't see your face without starting to tear It's been years and now you're here steppin' to my pace Wanna tell me all about you're latest saving grace I invite you in where love has been the potion of our past You start tellin' me you don't think your latest love will last Now I understand where you were all those years ago Telling somebody else all the things you could have let me know I don't need a coffin for our love baby I don't want a piper's revelry I just want you to let go my heart baby I just want you to let go of me Let go of me Just let me be... I need to let go, need to move freely, get out of the past Just because a love is strong, doesn't mean it's gonna last Even harder babe, digging up graves, so please just let me go I know you know what I'm talkin' about. I know you know I know. No I don't want a coffin for our love baby We don't get a twenty-one gun salute I just want you to let go my heart baby Cause I want to let go of you Let go of you...
2.	Turn It Around 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Turn It Around Tweet talk talk talkin' Puttin' promise before a solution Nobody's listenin' but we're still drawing lot of conclusions Charmers on the TV screen love to tell us 'bout how we've gone sour Everyone tuning in as the scandal changes by the hour Yet they keep the power Yet they keep the power Yet they keep the power Now we've got some work to do... All the people awake with the knowledge Of injustices, systemic racism to the electoral college We've got to dig down deep and expose the source of these problems Won't do no one any good if we don't heal up from the bottom. Let's make it our problem. Let's make it our problem. Let's make it our problem. All this in-fighting? While Nations, circle, circle around War Games as a means of distraction If the people who live next door aren't safe because of race, or where their love can be found Then nobody's reaching that higher ground We've got to turn it around We've got to turn it around We've got to turn it around We've got to turn it around All this in-fighting? While Nations, circle, circle around War Games as a means of distraction If the people who live next door aren't safe because of race, or where their love can be found Nobody's reaching that higher ground We've got to turn it around Turn it around Turn it around Turn it around Turn it around
3.	Talkin' To 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Talkin' To Brother, aren't we the fortunate ones... Mother, you never did have to run... Father, I know you'd put your life on the line, if the lives to be bettered were yours and mine. When you toe their line, then you toe to hate And hate ain't ever made anybody great. I know you better, than "they and them" So listen up, I need to tell you somethin' I wanna talk to you. I wanna talk to you. Ooooo you need some talkin' to. The people who are shouting into your ears Have everything to gain if they can sell you their brand of fear. And they'll paint that fear with colors you can see, So you know who to hate or judge more easily. Oh they can make that hate shine... Say it comes straight from the divine... Then they feel so righteous, 'Cause they think they're right. But you and I both know You and i both know That's not how you get to the light... So I wanna talk to you. I wanna talk to you. You need some talkin' to You need some talkin' to You need some talkin' to Sit down, get comfy, we're gonna be here awhile But I've got some wonderful news, wonderful news Only hate has to lose. If that's what we choose 'Cause there's enough for everybody Enough for every body If that's what we choose.
4.	The Veil 03:48	lyrics	buy track
The Veil Nothing is as it seems We're coming apart at the seams Men with scornful hearts Are prying the curtain apart And now we can see the machine They thought would keep them unseen So we take up light in our arms and shine it on all of it's parts We still hold We still hold All this hope and it will grow Blow the veil and it crumbles apart And now we see where we are And we see where we could be Together we'll take this journey No longer hold fists at our sides United we'll raise them up high And we'll see where the feminine hides Together we'll take back our skies 'Cause we still hold We still hold All this hope and it will grow We still hold We still hold, all this hope and it will grow So we'll take up light in our arms, and shine it on all of their harm We'll take up love as our arms, and call them out all day long So we'll take up light in our arms, and shine it on all of their harm We'll take up love as our arms, and call them out all day long
5.	Slow Fade 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Slow Fade I reach across the table You take my hand I'll try to catch ya boy as best as I am able And yes, I understand There are ghosts, ghosts on the path Sometimes they'll catch you when you are quite unaware The cracks they made on your heart, still under repair And though the work has gone on lo these many years It shakes you up, shakes you up, and the cracks can reappear Oh I know... Yes I know... Love doesn't go... Oh... I know, love doesn't just...go away. Oh I know.... Yes I know... So walk with me toward the sun Grab your ghosts bring them along We'll look at this in light of day, and we will understand this way The Earth is just a promenade and out of star stuff we are made So, love, will always be... A slow fade A slow...fade. A slow, a slow, a slow Fade... Oh I know... I know... So walk with me toward the sun Grab your ghosts bring them along We'll look at this in light of day, and we will understand this way The Earth is just a promenade and out of star stuff we are made So, love, will always be Love has always been Love will always be...a slow fade
6.	We Like Space 02:25	lyrics	buy track
Space Planets and suns and moons and meteors Satellites and rockets with robot features Black holes, comets, the Milkyway Galaxy That's where Earth lives because of gravity Space We like space We Like Space The sun is enormous so Mercury looks tiny Venus and Earth are about the same sizey Mars seems small, 'cause Jupiter is HUGE Then comes Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Space We like space In space no one wants to slow you down Fast is the only way to get around Space We like space Some of the planets have more than one moon Some have rings that's a whole 'nother tune Some folks are sayin', "What about Pluto?" It's a dwarf planet, we learned somethin' new Space We like space In space no one wants to slow you down Fast is the only way to get around In space there's so much space to be found, you don't have to walk you just float around In space there's so much in front of you Infinity means there's no end to view Space We like space Interlude Countdown! BLAST OFF!!!!!!!! (rocket to space madness) Space We like space

about

This album is a raw, bold, live recording out of Earwig Studio in Seattle WA. The concept is... Learn something new! Like we did with Pluto, like we can with each other. Find the nuance to everything. Rise up, Resist, Revolutionize. The only way forward is to use our hearts and some detailed science and most importantly community. This album speaks to all three.

Honestly, you may not even be ready for the groove and mood that this band lays down. These songs are well written, gorgeously performed, and should probably be listed as WMD's. They will destroy you! Christa Says Yay
