Annelise (C'mon C'mon) by Northern Allies Adrift in your blue oasis Your bus stop passes by Missing the moment, sharing a moment You heard secondhand So cancel your plans for the evening And let your heart beat without borders In the unknown beyond the frame Come on Come on, there’s still a reason for the nerves in our fingers And these sneaker treads Come on come on there’s still a pulse in these android arteries Do you believe me? It happens everyday and we want to… Fair former queen of the comicon With references strapped to your impossible boots Riddled with the bullets of revision and age I know the feeling, it’s a great excuse But don’t tell me you know what you’re missing I only care what you don’t know What you can’t say, ‘cause if you ever do then what… Come on Come on, there’s still time to come undone and burn bridges, And drink rivers, Come on come on we’ll take them on until dawn and watch the sunrise, In their dead eyes It happens everyday and we want to… I don’t know where we’ll go, I don’t have plan They’ve been getting me nowhere Maybe that’s all the reason we need Just this once…. Remember when you made more of nothing Remember when you made less sense Remember when I listened to that song I hated And I loved it, I always wanted to…. Remember when they sang in your language And you knew what it felt like To have enough of a sense of a sense of a moment It took trains and disappointments and mishaps and tragic pauses And you said you were fine, you swam in a cobalt sea and you knew, you could feel it Do you feel it? Do you feel it? Can you feel anything if nobody knows? It happens every day.

Pym 04:19
Pym by Northern Allies I hold your trembling sparks In the dark you drift away Under toe and foam You find a kinder moon An anchor holding firm You say it’s okay if I go ‘Cause knowing me is too much, Knowing you Side by side and silent before the storm A sky of stars But our bodies know it’s coming. Swimming back to shore I still hear the double ring Of your heart, at the start of spring I’ll see you around town subway platform the open sea Watch you on the phone Wonder what it could have been Side by side and silent before the storm It just the start of a long ending Of migration Still you believe… Side by side and silent before the storm And though I know, The morning drags me home On a drive of twenty years Of searching for a way back to your room Still you believe In true north….

Formaldehyde 04:23
Formaldehyde by Northern Allies There are things I could say Counter moves I could make Or I can just take it The shot to the jaw The smashing of jars Our organs inside Formaldehyde We both adore The tearing apart The other life in fiction Your pose on a windowsill Would we be free to stitch Our hearts back in But the chemicals are too strong And your scent is all wrong It's the same shape It's the same four chambers It's the same march of time Until we die Formaldehyde This lightning can bring us to life The storm will erase our tracks But even if we outrun them We’re still just a stitch up Cadavers all mixed up I can't feel your neck bolts Without feeling mine The promises don’t last long With a pulse already gone We will stay the same shape We will dust the jars We will march in silent time Until we die Formaldehyde There are things I could say Times I should stay away Or I can just take it All the sadness below In the undertow We had to know Formaldehyde We both adore The tearing apart The lies that we tell To the moon and stars In ten or so years When this is a dream We'll always have the jars Until we die
