Lyrics to our new EP, The Turkish Wrestler

“Sea Mountains”
when the sun goes down
and we’re in the hills
when it’s night in town
and we escape for thrills

please know you’ll soon be mine.
please see that the stars have aligned.

when the sun comes up
and we’re wet with dew
when the birds awake
and sing their songs for you,

“Toska”
mentally waiting for you to hit the ground
physically loving through deep sensual sounds

now that the color glass is broken
all my bones are broken now

forcing me to live inside my head
pondering why you can’t save us now

“Maps of Home”
welcome to a time that never seems to end,
but we should stay here if that’s a possibility
and just know I’m not looking for a home,
just a place to be alone.

you may think you feel the cold,
it’s nothing like seeing maps of home.

i’m not looking for a home, just a place to be alone
i can’t think of all the words you mean to me, just know

“Tristessa”
honey you don’t look so good
your bottom lip is bleeding
i cut it on your collar bone
go on back to sleep.
honey who were you thinking of
you woke me with your breathing
how the hell was I supposed to know

i lost it all
I’m going away
shh…

honey you don’t look so I good
i see blood on the ceiling
i cut it on your collar bone
go on back to sleep

no, you are alone

“Bellafonte”
ra-ta-ta-tat we’re going down
with no  backbone and a short fuse
in the sunshine she’s a cold muse
runaway

in the company of a killer
all my thoughts lay right beside her
runaway

I say “why?”

“Tigers and Elephants”
let’s just imitate the real until we find a better one
remember the good lies when we carried them home with us
i said sleep all you people, you know it’s gonna be okay
