Afterhours


Verse 1

jostle wakes me
just barely
its late
doesn't feel late
you know?
(I know)
glass rolled down
should be cold
too busy trippin' the
streets I know

Bridge

Watch people pass
like motes on a sunbeam
I swim through it all
but I lost reality
somewhere in a cloakroom
or a memory
or a dream

Verse 2

white lights like eyes
prowl past me
its late
but not late
you know
(I know)
Trip through rows
of concrete
like shades of a ghost
that you might know

Bridge

Watch people pass
like motes on a sunbeam
I swim through it all
but I lost reality
somewhere in a cloakroom
or a memory
or a dream

Chorus

glide
half lidded
neither here nor there
really anywhere
whilst I share
this last cigarette
with a girl
I don't know
in a car that's not mine
as we twist and we wind
from a night that is done
to one not yet begun
held betwixt sleepy days
where we fugue through the haze
neither living nor dead
on a couch or a bed
till we wake up
and tread to gliiiiide

Verse 3

Lights fall behind
in my mind
i'm done
but not done
you know?
(I know)
beyond concern
transverse from thought
the warmest void
that you'll ever know

Bridge

Watch people pass
like motes on a sunbeam
I swim through it all
but I lost reality
somewhere in a cloakroom
or a memory
or a dream

Chorus

glide
half lidded
neither here nor there
really anywhere
whilst I share
this last cigarette
with a girl
I don't know
in a car that's not mine
as we twist and we wind
from a night that is done
to one not yet begun
held betwixt sleepy days
where we fugue through the haze
neither living nor dead
on a couch or a bed
till we wake up
and tread to gliiiiide

Outro

could probably care
where I am
but don't
cause I'm slippin'
you know?
(I know)
through trippin the lights
I'll trip the dark
that ether glide
we all come to know...

about

Yellow Journalism Houston, Texas

Colin passed a CD and an invitation to Brandon to form a group. Listening to the concepts Colin had developed, Brandon was compelled to join. After working together for several months, Michael was brought on to complete the trio. Since then, the music has grown into a collaborative effort that reflects the different personalities of all three members, yet is as cohesive as the band. ... more
