I think I could have left this place I think you should've just in case I don't want to let your love erase all the colors on the wall. We stood there staring. And I can't make my heart erupt I can gather your moments up Don't let your world interrupt All the kids are singing, dancingdancing How long 'til I can break empire? How long before my eyes grow tired Kick the can further down the road cuz the motto is: We're. Good. For. Nothing. Give me one final edifice Give me one final taste of this It's a miracle we took all this cuz we're sinking slowly to the bottom now. Oh no. No no. If I could get it all back dollar for dollar...

Temper 03:20
Temper tends to flare. You be tinder, spark the flint. I'll end up running scared, no doubt. Crossed my line of sight Passed on stumbling like words I fumble, looking for a fight I can't find. Why do i feel like I'm at the top of the building I'm in? and I'm trapped on all sides by the walls? Crossed my line of sight passed on stumbling like words i fumble looking for a life with no doubt coded in the words something real: MASS APPEAL. the dreaming that you hear out loud Why do i feel like I'm at the top of the building I'm in? and I'm trapped on all sides by the walls? By the walls?

Fade Soul 02:07
You missed you missed you missed No one else can fade soul like this Give a look that we can't dismiss It's your fault that we're on this trip It's alright It's alright. We're a little bit more than tired You're a little bit more than lies You're an advertisement outside us looking in. You missed you missed you missed no one else can fake soul like this no one else can fade love like this your commercial observances It's alright It's alright. We're a little bit more than tired You're a little bit more than lies You're an advertisement outside us looking like: "I want it now"

Just one more night, all you want to do is intensify the lie. Love rattles atoms flowing back on us We're on the rise When you think of this city. Whatever's gonna come to mind I know it makes you feel like a million dollars to see your name in lights but you made for one hell of a theory. You're about to be proven wrong. I'll hang around 'til the clock runs down and I'll see what I should have done And in the dark I couldn't find the fucking door. Who am i to blame when everything goes wrong? It changes with the day. We bide our time 'til you and I can get out of here. When you think of this city. Whatever's gonna come to mind I know it makes you feel like a million dollars to see your name in lights but you made for one hell of a theory. You're about to be proven wrong. I'll hang around 'til the clock runs down and I'll see what I should have done And in the dark I couldn't find the fucking door.

I lucked out, I mean I – It's not bad to be lying I took time to make it right I made lines through the night Summer blueblood, winter lungs Southern sugar, could have sung I've been wrong before I've been wrong before Can I make some statement no one else can make? I'll take whatever I can take. Whatever isn't bolted down I'm taking with me. With me. Summer blueblood, winter lungs Southern sugar, could have sung I've been wrong before I've been wrong before Can I make some statement no one else can make? I'll take whatever I can take. Whatever isn't bolted down I'm taking with me. With me.

Oh igniter, not a saint will see Oh igniter, dreamer, don't give in like me Your proposition's vague Clientele you've painted red and grey One more stroke and then you're gunna sign your name and tattoo yourself a smiling face Oh igniter, not a saint will see Oh igniter, dreamer, don't give in like me Supply your heart's incredible definition Full tar and feather getup now Covet us and take a bow Oh igniter, not a saint will see Oh igniter, dreamer, don't give in. Dreamer, don't give in like me Oh igniter, not a saint will see Oh igniter, dreamer, don't give in like me

You asked me if I ever dared to fall in You have that stare when you're tired You wanna bathe in your trials Fan industrial fires The drunken morning hymn I'm immune to the second I am family lost in kin Eat your heart out And now I'm broke as shit and need to patch a hole in my head A nasty little fairy tale Another stone to skip Better be careful, kid There's no room for you here One for the best and the best were just resting One for the best and the rest we're forgetting Eat your heart out. Come on drop what you need and divide your attention Come on dance 'til you drop And come on, I can't get out Come on drop what you need and divide your attention Come on dance 'til you drop And come on, I can't get out Come on drop what you need and divide your attention Come on dance 'til you drop And come on, I can't get out AND IT'S TIME FOR WORK AGAIN Come on dance what do you want? Come on drop what you need Come on I can't get out.

Lit Up 02:14
We're feeling like: slowly disappearing before your eyes, cut for collaging whatever lights a fire whatever lights the fire and all the things we're fearing: "momentary" comes to mind it seems it's repeating and all the things we're fearing fuel the fire no

Infrared 03:36
See the waves that carry me. Demands aren't met on time. Another chance for us to leave. Another reason why. Sea-like and shimmering, familiar ebb-and-flow from the floor into the ceiling, infrared. I don't know who you're channelling but I like the way you seem I miss more than I want to gain. The sound of every key. Open and inside out, familiar ebb-and-flow from our wallets to the billboards, infrared.

Count your blessings in missed connections. Taken to the western and then weathered. We like our spirits more watered down than not. March toward the ocean to try some submission. Just wish I could have my dream sequence. I like my spirit more watered down than that. We talk tough but would we back it up? Would we back it up? We follow all the lights we had mistaken for the sun. And would we back it up? Would we back it up? We follow all the lights we had mistaken, and we hold them forever in our hearts or whatever. "We're so western and weathered," said nobody ever. We like our spirits more watered down than yours. We talk tough but would we back it up? Would we back it up? We're speaking in unison and speaking in tongues We talk tough but would we back it up? Would we back it up? We're speaking in unison and speaking in tongues We like our spirits more watered down than that.

Shookup 04:09
I tell myself I dig below the rest. I tell myself I don't make it the best. Something shook me up and broke me down I tell myself I dig below the rest. I tell myself I don't make it the best. Something shook me up and broke me down No pressure at the top something shook me up. No pressure at the top someone shook me up and Home is the moment–home is the moment–home is the moment I met you. No pressure at the top something shook me up. No pressure at the top someone shook me up and Home is the moment–home is the moment–home is the moment I met you. I tell myself I dig below the rest. I tell myself I don't make it the best. Something shook me up and broke me down I tell myself I dig below the rest. I tell myself I don't make it the best. Something shook me up and broke me down Pressure at the top something shook me up. No pressure at the top someone shook me up and Home is the moment–home is the moment–home is the moment I met you.

Faint recognition, you see her look down low. Just missed catching her eye by virtue of being left behind. Oh we can't get off the grid. The moment was roughly made by total control of id. A rhythm above all else, we kissed with tone. All I want to do is take my mind off you. I don't mind being used, but I'm a ghost to you. And if I could choose, I wouldn't see it through. All I want to do is say goodbye to you. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul. A rhythm above all else climbing through our soul.

about

Taking their time before finding the right sound, Blank Brothers found themselves preferring more visceral ingredients to their songs, making their own samples and using them to sculpt and explore their compositions. The brothers were able to dream up swirling, feverish clouds of music. Polluted synths, crowded drums, and humming basslines illustrate their restless lyrical content. As an album came together, so did the concept of Blank Brothers: deidentified, overwhelmed, on display and searching for something genuine. A fresh start.
