Planetary 04:33
Drawn into your atmosphere and can’t escape Splashdown in your ocean made a tidal wave Sent my signals home but can’t communicate My memory has been erased. Got preoccupied with ancient memories intentionally keeping you from breaking free lately I’ve been drifting further out to sea so don’t get too attached to me. Did I try to bring you down, spinning separately can I lift you off the ground, to kill this gravity

Mountaineer 04:51
Forever high we seemed to climb, I could not keep up I fell behind. It’s a long drop down to the earth below, I can’t help but feel a touch of vertigo I should’ve let you know. Chorus: You could either cut me free or I could drag you down with me though the choice was hard to make, if our roles were changed, you know I would do the same. Its not your fault. I’m not blaming you. I chose the path that led me to my doom. It was so cold, I could barely move. When the ice broke, I fell right through. There was nothing you could do. Chorus 3rd Chorus: It was getting hard to breathe with that weight pulling down on me. So I had to cut you free. Have you any sympathy?

Coming down onto solid ground. We are safe for now, till the stars are rising through us both tonight. Keep your head upright, home is in our sight. Bring us down if you can get us out alive. You got just what we had in store, but now you’re coming back for more. You’re gonna get what you deserve. You’re gonna crash and burn. Our mistakes coming back to haunt us and the sky falling down upon us You gotta learn how to trust your feelings, I’m getting tired of your double dealings. Cutting out from the blasting sound. But our legs are bound. Hang on tight its gonna be a bumpy ride. On the other side of the great divide I will try to stand against the rising tide. And as we’re plunging to our doom, you will collapse our sonic boom as the horizon peels away, you’d stop to watch the break of day. You got just what we had in store, but now you’re coming back for more, you’re gonna get what you deserve. You’re gonna crash and burn. Our mistakes coming back to haunt us and the sky falling down upon us You gotta learn not to trust your feelings, I’m getting tired of you double dealings Our mistakes coming back to haunt us and the sky falling down upon us you gotta learn how to find in yourself what you won’t get from anyone else. I freed you. Don’t need you.

Hindsight 05:31
Searching through the photographic memories in your mind, like traveling through time. You made it on your own throughout the solitude of days, you saw no other way. But I’ll be there to mend the broken pieces of your life, and sew them up so tight. I’ll do what I can to make this right. This moment could be all we have left. Once its over, I’ll try not to forget. If I went back in time I know for sure just what I’d do, I’d have more time for you. Those days you felt so sure that this was never gonna end. It really all depends on if you try to hold it down or let it slip away, see you some other day, I know that my feelings haven’t changed. This moment could be all we have left. Once its over, I’ll try not to forget. Time gets wasted, you made it meaningful. I hope you know that I still believe in you.

Are you reading my thoughts somehow or am I saying this all out loud? I know you’re dying to take me down, but you’d be foolish to try that now. I know the deal that you’ll offer me: squeal on my friends for immunity. But you see that I must refuse, cause I know that you have no proof. You think I’ve got everything to hide and you wanna search my place. Go ahead and take just what you want cause I know you’ve got no case. I’ve seen you trail me for some time, but I always get away. Gather all the evidence you need, put the pieces in their place. Cause by the time you figure this one out, I will be long gone, I’ll be headed south. Your time is running out.

No One Else 06:53
underneath the surface you have delved / into things that cannot be held these feelings I can’t keep to myself / need you like no one else no one else 1st Chorus no sense of what’s around me / my arms hold all that I need 2nd and 3rd Chorus no sense of what’s around me / my arms hold all that I need I think I’ve left my body / I couldn’t wait, I’m sorry. far away from the pain you felt / I’d keep you for myself no one else who could even help / no one else
8.
I would like to disappear / can you take me away from here / back to my hole, back where I feel safe I would hurt myself for you / but then what would that prove / there’s nothing more that I can do All this has to end today / no need to explain, things just change Time to open up my eyes / in my soul all love has died / all I feel now is this empty space they will try to bring you down / but I will keep you safe and sound / aren’t you tired of being pushed around? Please don’t let it end this way there is no more I can say.

about

"Across the album, on songs like the opener “Planetary” and “Blasting Sound”, a wall of swirling guitars move from shoegazing crescendos into pumping alt-rock anthems. Slate and his bandmates create something between Sparta (the post-At The Drive In band that actually wrote songs!) and Dischord alumni such as Jawbox — the tunes chug along, definitely driven by those guitars, with Slate alternating between ferocious yelping and seemingly introspective singing."
