Paid In Chocolate/Thank You Sultan!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Thank you Sultan for a very chocolatey weekend!

Benjamin, BJ, Phil, and I ventured to Sultan, Washington for a couple of fun shows at Galaxy Chocolates (deservedly famous for having some amazing treats) on Friday and Saturday nights. And it’s the only chocolate shop that I’ve ever seen with a stage.

Here’s a pic of Phil in meditation right after we set up:

After this moment of moody quiet contemplation, we played some fun tunes and had some laughs, we just like to look serious sometimes.

Sultan, we had a great time, we’re looking forward to seeing you again!

Love,

SJ

Tonight, the full band plays at Galaxy Chocolates in Sultan WA! All ages and FREE! 8PM. 501 Main St. It’s nice to take a break from playing at bars and clubs and play someplace with delicious chocolate milkshakes instead (and super tasty baked treats, etc).

Galaxy Chocolates are known throughout the state for having some of the best hand-crafted chocolate around. Sultan is also having a fun street fair and car show today, we’ll see you there!

Take Me – Lyrics

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

In pieces
But not broken
Deafening
But unspoken

Waiting like a child
With a practiced smile
For you to take me
Take me

In the valley of the shadow
On a mountain in the light
It’s like asking the wind
Lifting a summertime kite

Take me
Take me

It was supposed to be like this
I guess it has to be like this
It’s supposed to be like this
Why does it have to be like this?

But I still whisper
I still whisper

Take me
Take me

Parallax – Lyrics

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I’m at the edge, letting go, cutting the cable
I wouldn’t know how else to thank you even if I was able
Your light bends around me
Your light bends around me

Pockets of dirt and pine following the trail to you
Looking for a sign of redemption or some other subtle clue

Listen for the churchbells, turn your head from the light
Cast the first stone and then run from the fight

Your light bends around me
Your light bends around me

Pulse – Lyrics

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Your words are burning in my eyes
Homeward bound, fleetingly wise
His hands are burning up your thighs
Your teeth chewing lies

Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above

Begging so long it’s making me raw
Piercing your side with a trembling claw
You can’t blame me for wanting a theme
Preferring the march of a beauty queen

Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above

“We looked up to you” they said
It’s just me, the dial going red
Come back, all is forgiven
The stone moved, I am risen
The stone moved, I am risen

Now is just a bruise of love
The rapid pulse before a shove
This is just a bruise of love
What was below is now above

Partners In Crime – Lyrics

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I’m gonna lose my senses all over this town tonight
With you by my side, my partner in crime
We’ll lean up against each other and we’ll stumble home alright

It’s so good to be here within range of your smile
It’s been too long, too many miles
So let’s not pick nits, let’s not waste time
I wanna light up your eyes, remind you how your mine

And you, you’re gonna lose your senses all over this town tonight
With me by your side, your partner in crime
We’ll lean up against each other and we’ll stumble home alright

I’m gonna lose my senses all over this town tonight
With you by my side, my partner in crime
We’ll lean up against each other and we’ll stumble home alright
