Killing Feelings

Slipping away again
Hearing what I want
Nodding off but never sleeping
Little sleepy head
Tearing at your heart
Blurring eyes and killing feelings
Staring the ceiling dead through all these dreams i fought
Who knew the answers would be worse far less than the cost
Well i never thought it would end this way
Staring the ceiling dead through all these dreams I fought
Glowing screens again
Fingers feeling numb
Calling home but it keeps ringing
Staring the ceiling dead through all these dreams i fought
Who knew the answers would be worse far less than the cost
Well i never thought it would end this way
Staring the ceiling dead through all these dreams I fought
What does it matter
What does it cost to stay
We should have walked long ago
Staring the ceiling dead through all these dreams i fought
Who knew the answers would be worse far less than the cost
Well i never thought it would end this way
I never thought, never thought, it would end this way

Eyes Open

She had a little power over everything
A simple sideways glance to topple simple things
And in the dust her eyes would always seem to gleam
For rebuilding her myth was always her big dream
Her eyes are open
But no one hears it
So they give up watching
Give in to their fears
She swam a little further out from south shore beach
A little private plan to drive them to their knees
And in the building breeze and last of the daylight
She slipped below the surface slowly said good night
Her eyes are open
But no one hears it
So they give up watching
Give in to their fears

Erase the Truth
04:43

I live alone with strangers
It isn’t hard to do
They walk along beside me
And stick their hands right through
You wanna know the answers
You wanna know the truth
Well let me keep it simple
I really don’t like you
She said erase the truth
They’ll always be some more
Fifteen years later
I sit alone with you
I look into your eyes
And see the sadness too
She said erase the truth
There’ll always be some more
There’ll always be some more
There’ll always be
He stays inside because he knows he’s wanted nowhere
She said escape the truth
There’ll always be some more
There’ll always be some more
There’ll always be some more

Cut From You
04:58
|

What would you like to know?
I’ve been scared far too long
Of saying anything
Of drifting aimlessly
Somebody’s at the door
They’ve been knocking since four
To tell me something’s wrong
To tell me I’m gonna change
Valerie heard the news
We were texting for clues
Searching for cancers
They were covering answers
Cut from you
Is it true?
I’m cut from you
[I’m going to put my flag in the ground
Tell you everything i think
Stop hiding behind a mask
Quit fleeing from the scene]
Cut from you
Is it true?
We’re cut from you

Lights Out

Lights out
No one’s spoken
Heavy waves
From things i’ve broken
And who are you?
You are near me
In a way
That is searing
Bright spots
Fill your eyes now
Lighter days
Seem so hollow
And chosen few
They pay dearly
For liquid air
Breathe in deeply
Do you feel the same?
The way that I do?
All things have to change
The way that time does
All things have to change
Lights out
Count it stolen
Steady gaze
Sullen hours
And who knows
If you believe me
All the same
The lie is pleasing
Do you feel the same?
The way that I do?
All things have to change
The way that time does
All things have to change

Wide Awake
03:28
|
|||
|
Preparing to leave you all behind
And watch you go below the glass
Comparing all your rights and wrongs
And thank you for leading me on
Staring beyond the obvious
We talk through voices that know us
And daring to believe that we aren’t lost
And hold on to shiny objects
Wide awake
I can’t take

Wasted Talent
04:14

Too many thoughts in there, whispering
Too many thoughts in there, shivering
In a cold sweaty daze, quivering
Drinking the beer you saved, a refugee
When you’re alone with her, she knows
She hears the words you said like echoes
Patiently waiting there floating
A troubling thought occurs then happens here
What would it take for me to finally break free?
What would it take for me to pry your hands free?
Nobody knows, nobody sees
What it would take for me to finally break free
Do you think she knows that there is a place where californians go in case
Their little earth slides into space and all the oceanfront’s waylaid?
Blood from your nose covers your face and all your talent goes to waste
Wiping the tears, tasting the pain and all your talent goes to waste
What would it take for me to finally break free?
What would it take for me to pry your hands free?
Nobody knows, nobody sees
What it would take for me to finally break free

Vaudevileins Chicago, Illinois
Vaudevileins is Bill Aldridge (bass), Brennen Chouinard (drums/vox), Alex Jaskula (lead guitar), and Jeff Julian
(vox/guitar).
Lights Out leans into the band’s signature energy, loud guitars, and memorable melodies and spotlights themes of transitions and endings, mining the fears of not being understood.
It’s a banger from beginning to end.

Between Carly Simon, Tom Petty, and Jellyfish, Doppelgängers has usurped The Replicants’ self-titled effort as my favorite cover collection of all time. You guys just don’t know when to give up, thanks from all of us who appreciate your grit and gumption. You keep setting ‘em up, we’ll keep knocking ‘em back.
