Rodent All the tunes are beautiful and catchy and intelligent and well-arranged... They are frequently the top choice for pouring into my ears while walking around or just lying back to watch clouds and relax. It's really hard to pick a fave... Favorite track: Eye to Eye.

Odette Klass This is amazing. So. mature, with a band that really seems sure of who they are. Evocative, emotional, intense and lovely. Favorite track: Seasick.

Common Fear 03:25
As we spin around in circles laughing only seeing the planets painted on the walls As you look upon them you realize There’s no need to pretend These people can make you feel happy again We’re still at the age where driving feels like flying I never knew I could feel so free by the pavement But the only thing that we have in common is the fear Sitting here crying in the cold the stars reflect my tears Thinking about that night when you took me out We painted these streets and called them dreams We were high, but we’re coming down My lungs try to escape through my mouth I am petrified As you look in my eyes Am I lying or am I just confused Is this what it feels like to be used But the only thing that we have in common is the fear Sitting here crying in the cold the stars reflect my tears Thinking about that night when you took me out We painted these streets and called them dreams We were high, but we’re coming down But the only thing that we have in common is love, it’s so unclear If I don’t remember and you don’t care Then why are we still here? There’s so much talk of which way to go A single step has never felt so impossible...so impossible As we spin around in circles laughing only seeing the planets painted on the walls As you look upon them you realize There’s no need to pretend These people can make you feel happy again

Eye to Eye 02:58
Voices in the night Get the door and get the light Toe to toe and eye to eye We’ll never wave goodbye We were eye to eye... Airplanes above our heads This is our best time yet Dancing across my wall, your silhouette Just silhouettes... Just silhouettes... Wish I could slow down Wish I could slow down Flesh shows and sleepy eyes Your clothes in newborn light Departure time is set No time to miss you yet Can I miss you yet? (x4) Wish I could slow down Wish I could slow down Wish I could slow down Wish I could slow down

Teach Me How 04:12
For one second You’re still here Breathing deeper than you have this whole year I lie awake, haunted by change And how little time there seems to be in each day So teach me how to love more deeply Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling Teach me how to take a step over the line And not live my life without daring to try So teach me how to walk a bit taller Lift my head up high and know that I’ve grown stronger Do you know what it’s like to lose a daughter? Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly I try so hard to remember how to breathe And how to feel the ground beneath my feet I remember when she used to hold me Her glow as warm as the sun beams What I would give for her just to hold me one last time But now she’s gone and all I have is myself and this fleeting time So teach me how to love more deeply Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling Teach me how to take a step over the line And not live my life without daring to try So teach me how to walk a bit taller Lift my head up high and know that I’ve grown stronger Do you know what it’s like to lose a daughter? Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly

Petty Games 03:24
Petty games never felt so wrong or so right Burning letters just to keep you off of my mind for a minute To forget you’re everywhere Situations might’ve had us being friends Falling victim to your deadliest sins I see the mask that you wear Take me by the bones and shake me Your words won’t break me Backstage star, a moth drawn to light Words that feed you only come out at night They’ll deceive you Then they’ll leave you with the sunrise Swallow your words bitterness lines your tongue Shoot me down there’s more where I came from You’re mistaken There’s no battle to be won Take me by the bones and shake me Your words won’t break me Time will tell the truth I gain nothing, when you lose (2x) Take me by the bones and shake me Your words won’t break me (2x)

Demo Day 03:52
Build it up brick by brick Let's see how quickly we can mess with this Tear down the wood beams Throw them in the blaze like kindling You always had a quick trigger hand well use it now use it now make it the end Lay me down in the rubble and take me now take me now And we don't have to try We were built to break, make no mistake And we're all biding time Me with you, you with me, just to get by I can still find little hope seeing you wrapped in that winter coat As the cab pulls us away, and we head back to your place And we don't have to try We were built to break, make no mistake And we're all biding time Me with you, you with me, just to get by And we don't have to try We were built to break, make no mistake And we're all biding time Me with you, you with me, just to get by

Snow 02:31
Snow falling snow How I betrayed you so My tears leave their trail In the snow, falling snow White barren lands Casting shadows with their hands A once beating drum Lies frozen, dead, and numb Lead me to light Free me from this plight The games I chose to play Have driven you away Snow falling snow How I betrayed you so Your pearly winter’s light Grows dirtied by the night Lead me to light Free me from this plight The games I chose to play Have driven you away

Fairweather friend where has the wind gone I’ve been waiting for the sun to come out and replace the moon But the stars are still out and the sky remains blue Well It seems nowadays the common theme at play Is tear the children down, then leave them with the bills These walls are getting taller These words keep getting longer But mostly it appears to me that I am feeling smaller Your fear, my pride Rubbed together and the sparks fly You can find me in the middle that’s What I’m headed for Will my name always be there in the back of your head Will it mark up all the pages of the books you haven’t read Your fear, my pride Rubbed together and the sparks fly high You can find me in the middle that’s What I’m headed for Screams and timers sound the same Getting harder and harder to get away From the voice that’s yelling inside my brain You’re not good enough Where does meditation go When the things you thought you knew, aren’t so... When you’re far from home and all alone In who the hell knows where Your fear, my pride Rubbed together and the sparks fly high You can find me in the middle that’s What I’m headed for

No Harm 04:20
Expectations hold me down Poison in the air, shadowed by a dark cloud The arena, dimming lights What’s your passion? Sell it well One number in a vast line And we don’t mean no harm It’s the charm That you’re lacking Knock on every door The whole world is yours to explore Doubt invades a quiet mind A shield against the fall Running with shoes tied What fears do smiles hide? All these years to get here A race to some finish line And we don’t mean no harm It’s the charm That you’re lacking Knock on every door The whole world is yours to explore Try to reach so high You may get burned by the sun Fall so slow Each second fills a hole And we don’t mean no harm It’s the charm That you’re lacking Knock on every door The whole world is yours to explore

He said baby let’s hangout you know it's been awhile, since we've fooled around But your kisses aren't the same Your touch just brings the pain That you leave behind Each time I let you in my life Well maybe I should run but I still keep the light on Just in case you come home or knock on my door My bed is getting cold I want you, if not to have then to hold I swear I won't cry when you’re gone babe I know that you can't stay long Just lay your head down, down, down Well it's time for me to go y ou've shown me all there is to show By your disdain to the word “no” I won't follow Does time make it worse Bad faith I want it, I want it I swear I won't cry when you’re gone babe I know that you can't stay long Just lay your head down, down silent car rides next to your pretty face and dead eyes hurt pride and broken smiles cut the teeth of a glamour child Well maybe I should run but i still keep the light on Just in case you come home or knock on my door My bed is getting cold I want you, if not to have then to hold I swear I won't cry when you’re gone babe I know that you can't stay long Just lay your head down, down… I swear I won't cry (x2)

Seasick 04:20
I swore to your mom Looked your dad in his eyes That I’d live my life Cross this heart and hope I wish I could be Strong enough for me I wish I could be Strong enough for me And I’m standing at my crossroads And “choose your own path” is what they say But my feet are getting heavier Lost in the confusion each day I wish I could be Strong enough for me I wish I could be Strong enough for me If I could be anything I would just be If I could be anything I would just be But as of late I’ll admit That I might not know what’s best I’ve been deeper than blue Consider this my one request I need you like you needed me Like you needed me Gonna give you every piece Gonna trust that you can see what I can’t see
