Math Is Christ
03:49

The numbers 9, 11 & 7
Things adding to 5 are all 23s
Math is Christ, the Devil's in details
But everything exists just for me
Without time allowing to happen mechanical, blind synchronicities
Heart is only flesh (persistent illusion)
The dream of the blind is never to see
Hold my hand, I'll make you feel nothing
We'll make believe in love (sappy telepathy)
Screw until we're sore, I don't wanna say goodbye
Space only thinks it's not meant to be

Wear You Well
04:05

You're putting on airs
And she's so impressed
She'll wear you well
You're so pretentious
And think she can't tell
It doesn't matter to her anyways
You'll wear her well
And act so cruel to your friends
Nonchalantly smoking
And taking everyone apart
Thinking they're just as empty as you
You wear you well
You just want what you don't have
And nothing's ever enough
It doesn't matter to you anyways
Cause she wore you well
And ended up alone again

Sweetness
02:05

Secrets turn you cold
I'm unsafe in your arms
Fingers losing hold
On heartstrings pulled apart
When you thaw, I'll drink your regret like wine
Sweetness
The summer died so slow
Tears stung remembering spring
Our mistakes unfold
Too numb to feel a thing
So, when you thaw, I'll drink your tears this time
Sweetness

Dead Friend
04:13
|
|||
All has changed tonight, no time for "one last dance"
Your unlucky circumstance - you skipped each second chance
He's already gone
You never meant the worst anticipating best
Opportunities ignored, exhaled in failing breath
With selfishness to blame, those clouded eyes are lost
Like a stranger you recognized too late the loveless cost you'll owe now he's gone

Hellos After Goodbyes

All you gave is all you can take from me
And all I give is everything I've wanted from you - before today
I wondered when we'd see it end, I'd want to watch it all again:
Our little trip from lovers to enemies, skipping friends
We mouthed a thousand words we swore we said (yet still defend)
Knowing they were lies even back then
And in your eyes a reflection of a smile I wish I'd meant
And in your hands, one last letter that I never sent

I Talk to the Wind
03:05
|

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been?
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
You don't possess me, don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

Feeling Nowhere
02:23
|
|||
We'll start again when nothing's changed
Erase its history from our names
Our first collapsed in twilight waves
Emotion's no foundation anyways
And now we're nowhere
Together now, hands shape sand towards the sky
In soft, ground earth your fingers trace a moat around its walls so we'll feel safe
With salted skin, you smell like sea, but smile without a kiss - you're so much stronger than me
Nowhere
Feeling nowhere
But slowly building moments share promise of everywhere
I trust it now
Though, clinging fast, we'll watch it crumble
With steady breath and loosened grasp, we're grateful for the past

Augusta

Together barefoot in the grass it's
4 AM right before the crash I'd
Made myself believe I'd stay when
Only stars were beyond your eyes and
[You] kissed me like when we first met and
If we died we wouldn't mind cause
Everything was all too perfect
Beneath the fluorescent light sunrise
Then the sound...
Walk with me and see what hopefully will be OK
Cut our feet on broken glass and step in gasoline
Because we think we're safe from these things
They all stood close on the sidewalk
With flashing lights and neon signs and
One of them got really fucked up
Bled a line between his eyes and
Everything just brought us closer to
Ends that only come to strangers
[You] held my hand and said let's go when
He came to ask if we're alright

Atlantean

Take me down underneath
So far that tomorrow's all I breathe
Cause we've drowned in today, and together grieved
For all the dead shells of everyone else's dreams
The deeper we go, the more we'll miss home
The deeper we go, the less we'll miss home
So take me down to where I'll believe
That it'll make no difference at all if we leave
Kaleidoscoping in blue and green
We'll swim together to the end of things
And then dive underneath
Kissing the waves goodbye as we sink

Ghost Walk
01:26
|
|||
We'll walk in the skeleton of our city and lose these calendar days that
Made us the ghosts we are of ourselves - I'll keep that ghost of you with me
And watch the world around us change into what it was before we let go
But just for today, let's pretend to be who we were instead of who we are
Don't let me forget I don't wanna be here

Boy King Islands New York, New York
Boy King Islands was a duo comprised of long time collaborators Zachary Mastoon (aka Caural) and Jason Hunt. While their signature sound grew to encompass more psychedelic influences and diverse orchestration over the years, they remained true to their experimental aesthetic, carving out a unique and noisy niche in the ever-evolving non-genre of "rock music". ... more
