I Am You

Silver-tongued call, the dawning of it all
My winter's midnight sun:
You were there where I belonged
Etched your eyes within a narrowing distance
We'd draw closed with widening smiles
Vivid recall, crystallize it all
Click imagined photographs
Make believe everything were true
Reach for home, disappear in you
I made you up
You are me and I am you so
I made you up in my head
Lip-synch my thoughts - I mistake them for my own
Kisses shape your mouth
Together, we feel alone
You wear a token of never giving up
Keeps you safe when right feels wrong
Meet me there where we belong
You made me up
You are me and I am you so
We made us up in our heads

All Green and White

All green and white, always for you
Promise to feel like colors do
Unthink the lies your mind tells you
Familiar light, surreally true
Remember me?
I think I do remember you
Faith without time, turn old to new
With hearts as eyes - we do
Remember me?
I swear I do remember you

Summer Sun

Will summer sun make you less alone
When you know you fall in love too soon?
When strangers pass, you smile at everyone
In every look, invent another home
When all you want is to run away again
And if you stay, will she be there anyway?
Already gone, her daydream done too soon
But if she comes, you'll forget everything
And just like you imagined, she's just like everyone
And when she leaves, it's all the same again
Cause you never really wanted anything
Will summer sun make you less alone
When you know you fell in love too soon?
When strangers pass, don't look at anyone

Fade

Crumpled up your laugh
Embittered epitaph
Spirit away our better days on glossy pages
- smiles that faded
Clutch it close Your souvenir of all you'll have to leave behind
Rend old sentiment and scatter shreds I'll piece together
As a keepsake to forget you by
Fade
Wind halcyon path
Accident or happenstance
Suddenly shape a familiar face made out in phases
- we'd both waited
Voices choked and hope unclear
A misted glance as good as blind
Rend old sentiment and scatter shreds you'll piece together
Never really understanding why
Fade
Crumpled up her laugh
Embittered epitaph
Spirit away their better days on glossy pages
- smiles that faded
Clutched it close
Her souvenir of all they'd have to leave behind
Rend old sentiment and scatter shreds he'll piece together
As a keepsake to forget her by

Feel So Young
04:19
|
|||
|
Tried to come from far too high
Woke in dark, inhaled the light
Choked the night & suffocated day
But believed it all...
She's too young, too young to die
July sun, the moon replied
She breathed the day and drew in the night
We're too young for a real goodbye
Feel so young, alone
I feel so young
Swear I trust you
And in time...
We both know the truth, but for now promise to lie

Falling Ceiling

|

|
Falling ceiling
To a rising floor
If I stop
Please don't let me fall
Take me careless
Or dare me more
Leaving's flawless
And ends the all
Spiral out, soon come
Providence followed
Recognize today
As above, so below
Watch shapes change
They know we're watching
Let us pretend
The effect we're causing
Closing's pointless
Can I keep this fall?
Losing summer
Leaves me ten feet small

Guilty Hands
03:37
|
|||
|
Jealous hearts
Everything we've fought for
It's ourselves we've grown to fear the most
Guilty hands
Everything we grasp for
Holding hurts just like letting go
Dying suns
Everything we wish for
Setting whether with our prayers
Surrounding us
Everything we've hoped for
Waiting whether here or there
And you fight it all again
Unfair - nothing's there
And you burn them down again
Castles in the air

A Promise Away
03:57
|

See more
It's like your eyes are me
Mean more
Reflecting in the mirror of you they hold for us
Be more
Breathe it in to me
Our now is more than every then and every shall be
It's all for us
A promise away
Dream more
It's like your mind is me
Remember more when we sleep than moments awake
They've shown to us
Believe more
In everything to be
Feel more the part of you missing in me
So close for us
A promise away

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
