Twist Distancing Album Lyrics
1. Tides
Honey, there’s nothing left that I should show
Digging, for a way to let you know
I’ve been waiting for that feeling of love
Waiting for the tides to change ‘cause it’s love
I’m going down that road
What should I get?
Your stare is cold as stone
All of your family’s going to disapprove
Digging, for a root that I can move
2. Venus
Disoriented - when I’m waking up
Seeing you in the morning - still nothing repented
Did it to myself, and you
On and on - these thoughts drag on
Mystified by all the signs
Something is in the air
Reading between the lines
Saying things like we care
Did it to myself, and you
On and on - these thoughts drag on
It’s coming on
Didn’t we just sing this song?
Didn’t mean to do your wrong
Didn’t mean to drag this on…
3. Waves
Hey, that’s not the way to treat a friend (I’ve been a fool)
And hey, I’ve been in love so many times I cannot count
I’ve been going down for it
4. Lone Star
Are you hearing what we’re saying?
Are you hearing what you said that’s so wrong?
See the weight of everything that’s starting to go wrong inside of this whole place
Can you see the other side?
Can you see things go beyond your own view?
See the weight of everything that’s starting to tear this whole place a part now
Always on to thinking bout next time
I’ll stand up to you
Give a piece of my mind
I’m thinking bout changing
I’m thinking about leaving
There’s nothing here now
It’s faded somehow
Is it even worth the time?
To somehow get through to you- it’s a waste
Spending every night as a Lone Star
No ones coming into this bar
Take it from me
You’re making a scene
Always on to thinking bout next time
I’ll stand up to you
Give a piece of my mind
I’m thinking bout changing
I’m thinking about leaving
There’s nothing here now
It’s faded somehow
Don’t think about everything
Don’t think about everyone
If it comes back to you
Are you gonna say you knew?
You knew
He’s a Lone Star
5. Places
Out of all the other places we’ve gone
I would rather stay here
I would never run
Hey, don’t look back
To who you were before
Out of all the other times that we drove
I’ve never been calmer
Than driving down this road
Hey, don’t look back
To who you were before
Wait- don’t go back
They’re not there anymore
I couldn’t stop looking into lights at night
Blurring my vision
A glowing red brake light
Ill be the one
Waiting out the tide
The sun will set slowly
On the other side
6. Tunnel
Travel around
No hanging on
It’s digging in slowly
The Phenomenon
A new beginning
Is coming on
Turning away
So easily
You are so cold
Take me out
Summer sounds
Diamond light
Blinding now
There’s no limit
Out here no critic
To drag me down
Make me break down a tunnel
Hey man, wait a minute
going down-
take me down-
Travel around
No hanging on
It’s digging in slowly
The Phenomenon
You are so cold
Hey man, wait a minute
going down-
take me down-
Somehow I concede
Being in the backseat
Driving on
Travelling on
See the stars
Shining bright
There’s no limit
running out of tunnels
7. Distancing
Making it all up in my head
So it comes down to this instead
He’s a runaway
I don’t wanna be like the other girls
It could be easier in your world
He’s a runaway
Who can feel it all?
Who is there at all?
Moving slowly
Leaving so early
Taking me for when you wanted more
I can see a way out that door
He’s a runaway
Taking me for a ride in your car
Don’t say bye to anyone and we will go far
Who can feel it all?
Who is there at all?
Moving slowly
Leaving so early
8. Towers
Dripping confusion
You came up smoking
The sun is feeling hot now
You can’t afford it
How is it up there
All alone in your tower
Try to be honest
You can’t afford it
Does it make you feel good?
I’ve got the perceived notion
That there’s no devotion
It’s all come to light now
You can’t afford it
9. Nice Age
Abrupt change
Forced to rearrange
Biding your time
Don’t it feel strange
Damn the thrills
Never leaving Beverly Hills
Holding on to something that’s not there
Don’t be afraid of what’s decayed
It wont turn around this motorcade
10. Blowin
Open up the windows
Air this whole place out
I can see things blowin’
Right out of the door
I see clearly
Uh huh
Maybe this time next year
I’ll be out of here
Making this whole thing
Seem so insincere
Twist Benefits Album Lyrics
1. Going Home
Laying all
My money down
For a gambling man
Then Im leaving town
In between
The passing lanes
Checking back
To see my plane
Looking up at the rising sun
I’ve seen this rerun
Going home to you
Neon signs
And desert skies
Don’t exist
In your snake eyes
Looking up at the rising sun
I've seen this rerun
And i know its been long
Baby baby baby
And i know its been hard
Baby baby baby
I’ll be leaving soon
Just to be with you
I’ll be there
Driving through the night until my eyes cant take it anymore
2. Benefits
Jadedness is nothing new
I had plans and savings too
Get a job with benefits
Dental care is good too
I cant fit it into my life
No matter how I try
Preaching your outdated solutions
Hoping for a revolution
Don’t push me over
I’m not a freeloader
Losing sight of what you wanted
Have you finished what you started?
3. Leave This Town
I had to give back
Everything that u gave
Did you ever think-
That I would be so brave
Something’s missing when you’re gone
When I least expect it that’s when you come
I hope that I leave this town forever
Forgetting where this all came from
Keep on thinking of all the things we’ve done
Something’s missing when you’re gone
If I’m gonna get there I’m leaving you behind
4. Freak
Feeling this way for quite some time
Is it okay swaying out of line
Learning to freak for a prize
I’ve been away for quite some time
Is it okay if I take what’s mine
Learning to freak for a prize
See my head is up floating in clouds
Getting so lost gauging these crowds
Pushing too hard on me on the phone
Let down my guard if you turn down your tone
Learning to freak for a prize
See my head is up floating in clouds
Getting so lost gauging these crowds
Haunted by time passing too fast
Getting confused
How long will this last
Twist Spectral Album Lyrics
1. Pavement
I’ve been on my own
Not been building any home
My futures up to me
What will I choose to be
But I’m not going back
To the way I used to think
Devise some sort of plan so I don’t sink
The girls remain the same
The boys still haven’t changed
We all deserve some fame
We’re all some kind of deranged
Im not going back
Gonna refresh my connection
Im aiming for my internal perfection
2. Can't Wait
Settle down
If you’re candle’s burnin’ out
Open your eyes
People are forming their lives
Someone’s gonna give you a light
Someone’s gonna make it alright
Try not to compare
Nothing will ever be fair
Your time may come
But you will never be done
3. Calendar Girls
Calendar Girls, you’re so inviting
You make the boys fall in
A web that you’re spinnin’
Calendar Girls, you’re so exciting
You make all boyfriends
Bolt like lightening
We will never be able to touch
In print newspapers and magazines
4. Bleached
My best friends gone
Have I been wronged?
Life’s still the same
Have I lost a game?
Guess I’ll get high
Stay in bed with a guy
Going back and forth again
Will you be my friend?
I see this fading away
I don’t want to be in the way
See this being my call
Don’t fall
Try not to care
That life’s not fair
Going up in smoke
Is this all a joke?
5. Soaked
Crushing all high hopes
Stuck here because we’re broke
Sacrificing for the unknown
Promised paycheques we’ll never own
Baby you’re no good
Keeping me like I would
Sanitizing my point of view
Contemplating my next big move
No use in us freaking out
There’s only 24 hours a day
It’s not that hard to explain
Slowing down in fast lanes doesn’t make it okay
We aint got time- it’s got us
Losing our minds taking this bus
Wandering all around
Until I’ve lost what we’ve found
Maybe this time I’ll stay satisfied
Reaching for someone to stay on our side
6. Keep You Under
When does a breeze between my knee’s
Lift me up to palm trees
When does the wind become my friend
Lifting me out of dead ends
When can I come in
I’m tiring
I need something to kick in
I’ll keep you under
Inside I’ll wonder
When does the wind change its way?
Gotta remember, always
When can I come in
I’m feeling blue
I know that this will destroy you
7. Slums and Seaports
Save your praying for someone with religion
I’m not married
No I’m not a kept woman
Save your thinking- you’re not a man
You lost all your money- because you ran
When things get tough
He’ll leave her over the bluffs
He’ll find a new thing
In slums in seaports
I don’t wanna
Give all my love away
Cuffs, collars, and sleeves are not enough to please
Save your adoration for nightly masturbation
I don’t wanna
Give all my love away
8. Albuquerque
What to say
Will it be okay?
My homes not here
My baselines unclear
Say what they have to say
Do what they have to do
I can’t believe anything they say
I will run away
Won’t stand here everyday
9. Sin Monster
It's been a long time comin’
Me and my box of sin
Everyone’s on their toes
Keep it so nobody knows
Ive been doing it all wrong
It's been me all along
You're just a flash in a pan
Walk away- I know I can
I wanted to
10. Too Much Trouble
I’ve got no money
I’ve got no ride
Maybe I’ve got too much pride
I’m not the only one
Sew it up so I can’t see it
Sober me up so I can’t feel it
Always too much on the line
I’m not the bad one
But it’s okay I’m still holding on
I like to party but I’m too much trouble
I’d get my head screwed on but it’s too much trouble
But it’s okay I’m still holding
On it’s okay I’m not all gone
I don’t want to be left behind here
I don’t want to waste another year
Maybe I’ve got too much pride
I’m not the only one
But it’s okay I’m still holding on
I like to party but I’m too much trouble
I’d get my head screwed on but it’s too much trouble
Ohhh…. I’m too much trouble. It’s too much trouble
But it’s okay I’m still holding
On it’s okay I’m not all gone
11. Where to Lie
I’m not gonna hurt them again
And I’m not gonna be their friends
Instead of my masterful lies
I’m gonna try and be more wise
If you ever leave home you can go down to the sea
Sell me off- it’s not important- it’s just me
All this time you could have been mine
I’ve been bad- maybe it’s a crime
All the way up to five lies
Ten drunk eyes and five girls cries
Not soon enough to make new ties
Bringing us down to size
You’re so easy to deceive- but I’ll leave
Just because you’re feeling dormant- I’m still me
All this time you could have been mine
