Sailing through the night I saw you Starry light in all your open eyes I was far away from home and feeling Kinda lonely, I didn't wanna try You said, Everyone's got a good side And I'll show you mine 'Cause I see a light in that crescent smile And I wanna see it shine Aberration going crazy Are you gonna save me? Or maybe that's too much But we're out here spinning around And there's something that I just can't figure out I don't know if it's cosmic noise in my brain But I feel myself changing, would you say the same thing? Couple years in polar orbit Made a golden portrait of you and me But interstellar dust surrounds me Can I trust in our anomaly? You said, Everyone's got a good side And I'll show you mine 'Cause behind that dark energy I know there's something bright Aberration going crazy Are you gonna save me? Or maybe I give up And we're spinning around And there's something that I just can't figure out I don't know if it's cosmic noise in my brain But I feel myself changing, would you say the same thing? [instrumental] I think I am going crazy Are you gonna save me? Or maybe I'm enough And we're out here spinning around And there's something that I just can't figure out I don't care if it's cosmic noise in my brain 'Cause I know that I've changed I know that I've changed And I'm watching the specter of every mistake Burn up in starlight, crumble away And maybe it's all too good to be true But for now I'll just stay here dancing with you With you

Wake up I'm a bit of a mess I got sand in my face and a weight in my chest (Crusty) People everywhere causing a scene It's all been downhill since I turned nineteen (Is it just me?) Lie down on the faux leather couch I think I'm losing my touch Yeah It's got me messed up I confess to a million lies Customizable apocalypses City caving in [x4] I found out you don't have to try No one cares for petty politics yeah Everybody wins [x4] Sleep tight while the world falls apart There's blood in the air, I don't know where to start God damn gotta put down the phone We're inextricably connected but I feel so alone Lie down in the middle of the road I'ma croak like a toad [toad sounds?] 'Cause this shit got me messed up I confess to a million lies Customizable apocalypses City caving in [x4] I found out you don't have to try No one cares for petty politics yeah Everybody wins [x4]

Yearly Dearly Show me How sweetly You told me Consoled me Unholding Unfolding Yearly Fearing No reason Not breathing You told me How boldly Our story Gets boring Percy, Mercy Carry on til we are gone We don't get to stop it NooooOOOoo

Clicking in a world mechanical Every little piece impeccable It's not enough to try When there's no place to hide I wanna be a better machine I wanna be everything As I run away from nothing, I'll live a life for all to see Hmm Seething at a fractured side of me Making every joy an enemy They never shut their eyes So why the hell should I? I wanna be a better machine I wanna live endlessly So terrified of nothing So how can I just let it be? Let it be [instrumental] Open that window Let it blow away Don't let it hurt this time Open that window Carry it away Leave it with an open mind

about

Song from Silhouette is a short album loosely tied together by the theme of making meaning out of essentially nothing. Each song is inspired by a snippet of technical jargon, refracted through the lens of human experience. These songs are about love, hopelessness, perseverance, and presence, and how we can pull these things out of thin air.
