Still The Same Sound
04:04

I’ve been wasting my time
Trying to make my work mine
And my friends say it’s fine
But it’s still the same sound
And I say it with spite
But you know that I’m right
Try as hard as you might
But it’s still the same sound
Never seen anything new
Nothing precious, nothing true
There’s only one thing to do
And we do it so well
And I’m sure it will sell
I think no one can tell
That it’s still the same sound
And we shrug off your praise
As we chase down your craze
And pretend it’s shoegaze
But it’s still the same sound
Never seen anything new
Nothing precious, nothing true
There’s only one thing to do
(And I’m right beside you)
And you’ll think it sounds lame
But you conquer the game
When you let go of shame
And just play the same sound
So play on

Allow me
Or so you said
Then you change your mind and force my hand instead
You press me
Against the wall
Suddenly the choice is not so hard at all
I’m going nowhere
I think I don’t care
I’ll see you all there
Destiny
It’s my fate
To want another option and find out it’s too late
Eventually
You realize
There’s only one way for me out of my life
I’m going nowhere
I think I don’t care
I’ll see you all there
Boredom does nothing for me
Boredom does nothing for me
I’m going nowhere
I think I don’t care
I’ll see you all there
I’m going nowhere
I think I don’t care
I’ll see you all there

At The Altar
04:05
|

|
At the altar in a church
Where we come to lay our scene
I thought I could end my search
With the hope of seventeen
Sing a word, a single chord
What it takes to make a dream
Maybe you were only bored
But I thought we were a team
Years and years and side by side
Gave me something I could trust
Let it build up into pride
Then you let it turn to rust
I remember what you said
About leaving when it’s gone
Even though I know it’s dead
Doesn’t mean that I’ve moved on
Take away the bruises and the pains
Still the song remains
Even when I knew you didn’t care
I was always there
Sign off with an adios
And then don’t return my call
Used to think that we were close
And now we’re nothing at all
And I know that it’s absurd
To launch into an attack
But I took you at your word
When you said you had my back
And I’m seeing someone new
And I know that in the end
She will leave me just like you
With the lie to just stay friends
But when everyone is far
And they all have gone and grown
I’ll be here with my guitar
Still deluded and alone
Take away the traces and the stains
Still the song remains
Even though I know you didn’t care
I was always there
You don’t know how much it meant to me
You don’t know how much it meant to me

Ten Cards Short
02:15
|
|||
|
We met on a dreary September day
I don’t know how you found me
But I didn’t play
I kept my cards close to my chest
Hiding a tribal
Of tall blonde messes
But caution to the wind
And big blue eyes
I was a means to an end
The whole world torn asunder
Seeing where you set the bar
Opened me to wonder
If I’m still up to par
A shadow falls upon me
As our minds flow back into port
You know it plainer than I see
I find myself ten cards short
I shuffled myself into your life
Ninety-eight plus one
Cut like a knife
Wrong place wrong time
You had your fun
Passions turn on a dime
Guess I wasn’t your style
Or not strong enough
And you dropped me headfirst into exile
The whole world torn asunder
Seeing where you set the bar
Opened me to wonder
If I’m still up to par
A shadow falls upon me
As our minds flow back into port
You know it plainer than I see
I find myself ten cards short

Limerence
03:33
|

And the waves that carried you here
Have grown still
And no one will cling onto you
Like I will
I believed in you and I
But as the days and weeks went by
The love ran out, the well ran dry
And you drifted away
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
And I wished you could show me what I
Haven’t found
Yet I still choose to hope against hope
For a sound
And so I write a worthless song
To tell myself how I was wrong
But even now you’re not quite gone
You’re only out of reach
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
All I see / is your eyes
Watching me / wave goodbye
All I see / is your eyes
Watching me / wave goodbye
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do
I’m in love with you
But there’s nothing else that I can do

Terminal E (Departures)
03:53
|
|||
|
Some say that it’s over
Some say it’s just begun
But if this flight’s really boarding
Then at least we had some fun
And I thank you for the company
The good times that we had
A suitcase full of memories
That don’t all leave me sad
Maybe sentimental
Or maybe bittersweet
Baggage softly tucked away
And stowed beneath my seat
And I’m sorry I must leave you
But you know I cannot stay
Still I leave here with the hope
That we will meet again some day
Oh well / farewell / if this is how it ends
I’m glad to have the chance to share the ending with my friends
And there’s a lot of things that I will have to leave behind
But I’m keeping all the faces and the places in my mind
Late nights / stage lights / they never seem to fade
And my ears never stop ringing from the racket that we made
And it may not be forever but it’s certainly for good
Wheels let go of runway and I think maybe we should
Take the time now to remember how it was
Doesn’t seem like much
But means the world to us
Take the time now to remember how it was
Doesn’t seem like much
But means the world to us
Take the time now to remember how it was
Oh, it meant so much
It’s time to turn the lights down and go home
It’s time to turn the lights down and go home
It’s time to turn the lights down and go home
It’s time to turn the lights down and go home

A Streetcar Named Denial Houston, Texas
A rock band based out of Houston whose ambitions far outstretch their abilities.
A Streetcar Named Denial recommends:
Feels, real songwriting, and fairly decent guitar work. If you like crying, this is the album for you.

Quiet, subdued, and restrained indie alternative rock. Great for poolside road-trips, whatever that means. If only they'd put their studio albums up on BC.
