My Moon Has Disappeared

Well, everyone that I know will go.
Everything that I love will need a place to stay.
Because my head's too full of dreams you don't want me chasing.
Yeah, everything that you are; I'm not.
And it's right around the corner from me.
While all the more closer it gets,
the more and more I realize we both only want what's best.
It's right around the corner from me.
The more and more I realize we both only want what's best.
And I promise, I won't lose interest.
Oh, well, you are the moon to me, my baby.
You rise the tide of my blood.
A southern belle, you are the cause to every car crash.
Those pour souls passing by.
Oh, you have confused me for a man of such conviction.
The desert dried me up along with all of my love.
Here my moon has disappeared.
Oh, well, you are the moon to me, my baby.
My blood will never know low tide.
Oh, is love my redemption?
I will ask the sun.
Estranged days, they follow me.
And you follow me.
Yeah, you follow me.

Hot Vodka

It messed up his ego real bad.
Ooh, I feel you.
It's a handful of things that he lacks.
Ooh, don't feel bad.
I'm sure she's just going through a phase.
You'd do best by staying out her way.
Alarm! No cause for alarm!
Repeat after me, "I don't care"
Forget about her, or you will be lost.
"It's the worst heartbreak ever" he says, "Ooh, you don't feel me"
It's a trainwreck of missed calls and texts.
I promise you, she won't call back.
Even if she's just going through some phase.
Just don't throw your life away.
CACAW
You're not in love!
Drink all the hot vodka.
Alarm! No cause for alarm!
Repeat after me, "I don't care"
"I don't care!"
I'm sure she's just going through a phase.
You'd do best by staying out her way.
Everyone's a liar and they want to see you burn.
All you can do is trust yourself.

Block of Ice

Lie on down not only because I want you to.
Fear my hate; it radiates.
Even while owls sleep there is commotion out of my hands
Now I'm lost.
Now I'm a block of ice.
I froze.
Petrified to stone while I await you back home.
I await you back home.
Yes, time has frozen back home.
No one knows where I am.
Would you come home if you knew?
No! Forfeit!
It's all bullshit!
Lie on down not only because I want you to.
Fear my hate.
It radiates.
Even while owls sleep there is no commotion out of my hands within earshot.
Block of ice. Petrified.
I await you back home.
Yes, time has frozen back home.
No one knows where I am.
Would you come home if you knew?
Lie on down not only because I want you to.
Fear my hate.
It radiates.

From Ukraine

Axolotls are not as strange as blonde girls from Ukraine.
If the one is you, then kiss my cheek three times a week.
You can't be in two places at once.
But if we're far apart, you'll be in my heart.
Yeah, I wasn't worried at all.
I was hell bent on making you mine.
Help me succeed.
Take this tree and pretend it's me.
I strip like winter leaves.
There was an open slot whether I got you or not.
Though you're as cold as the Russian tundra, how in the world could I ever love ya?
Axolotls are not as strange as blonde girls from Ukraine.
If the one is you, then kiss my cheek three times a week.
The earth stood still when your window opened.
No, I wasn't worried at all,
I was hell bent.
You can't be in two places at once.
But, if we're far apart, you'll be in my heart.
Axolotls are not as strange as blonde girls from Ukraine.
If the one is you, then kiss my cheek three times a week.

I Am Your Free Time
03:21

I am your free time.
The only sound you make that does not make me cringe is when your jacket and your shorts unzip.
The only feeling that I get that's not negative is when you orgasm.
Show me the door and tell me I can leave.
I'm your free time.
All I want is to go.
How could I be your free time if I'm alone and cast away?
Where did you go that day?
The only sound you make that does not make me cringe is when your jacket and your shorts unzip.
But for now..
The only feeling that I get that's not negative is when you orgasm.
I'll lock all the doors so we cannot leave.
I constantly ask "Why would you lie to me?"
It's what I need.
Because apparently I need your permission everything.
I am your free time.

Wilmington

Where I'm from is where I'm going and if you follow me you'll fall asleep.
Because it's quiet there and no one leaves.
Wilmington Island, where kids grow up right down the road from their grandparents.
The water, where everyone swims in.
Where I'm from is where I'm going and if you follow me you'll fall asleep.
Because it's quiet there and no one leaves.
There's a little shop on every corner where you can say hello to your neighbor.
Because it's quiet there, and everyone's a friend.
Whether it be gang-related crime, we'd be wasting all our time on the beach.
Because it's quiet there, and why would I leave?
Where I'm from is where I'm going and if you follow me you'll fall asleep.
Because it's quiet there and no one leaves; except for me.

One of the most focused, exciting, enveloping and hopeful albums I’ve ever heard. These guys are just amazing. And like I said in my thoughts about ‘Spring Island’, I am going tell my children’s children’s children about Delta Sleep.
