Orange Stone 04:41
*Verse* What the keepsakes hold in place Is on the last threads Waiting on a bad day Somewhere above it, Better "usses" watch on with dismay When your archaic charms fail All the storms will Find us stronger or washed out But we’ll know *2x* *Chorus* On the swing set/ down by the lakefront Under the orange stone We shared a spark of the eyes down by the rocks Let’s heat up a warm stone by the rocks *Verse* To wish one owned a time and place We weren’t the first And won’t be our children How that denial shapes us, is the story of our strength When your archaic charms fail All the storms will Find us stronger or washed out But we’ll know, we'll always know *Chorus 2x*

Numbers 05:01
*Verse* Roshae, Roshae, Roshae, Roshae Sweaty, nervous to approach her Before she smokes and floats and doze off Pull your best ice breaking joke out Say you’ve got a joint in your room Acapulco gold or some such Roshae, Roshae, Roshae, Roshae What’s your last name? What’s your number? Chorus Apathetic, Oh so very, meaning giving (Numbers) Arbitrary, Think Them So and meet your end by (Numbers) Odds and Ages, Stats and Wages, Numbers *Verse* Windy, Windy, Windy, Windy He’s not single tempt him tempt him Before they stop and reconsider Bid their friends adieu fetch a cab Say she’s got a bed in her room And he’s wanted this for some time Windy, Windy, Windy, Windy After this don’t use his number *Chorus 2x* And when mines up, I hope I've left behind one And I will, Make sure my boy know his way around *2x* Make sure my boy knows his way around numbers *Chorus 2X*

*Verse* You left everything you love and your whole self worth In a purse in a cab and it just pulled off; And you forgot You and mother dearest diverge on everything that matters the most, oh, and, for once, you're in the right And for once before you die, with your own two eyes You were there to see her be in the wrong; but what's it worth *Chorus* Give it all, give it up Give a care, but keep enough Tour de Force of half-chalance Tour de Force of half-chalance Give it all, give it up Give a care, but keep enough Purely for the passionless Souls devoid of happiness *Verse* Out of sorts and in a daze, ready for the front page But I wouldn't wanna read that interview 'Cause you're a wall Find you crying at a bar with your make-up Off looking for a young shoulder to borrow for a while You lead them on Everyday you seem to age and your options seem to fade While you wait for the smile store to have a sale You know they won't *Chorus* And when you hold him Will you hold him Down in the good, hip sense? Two fit misfits Whats so important you have to say it out loud? And again and again Nothing... Nothing/ Are you sure? Are you sure? Nothing/ But you were gonna say...(x3) *Chorus*

*Verse* I don't need you to save my life, I only need you in it Come now, subtle muse or subterfuge Dont fron't on me, dont I don't need you to save my world, I only need you in it Come now, subtle muse or subterfuge Dont front on me *Chorus* Its the end of the world I need you here It can be the end of the world sometimes Feels like the end of the world right now *Verse* This is going to cost me my pride Outright But I'll fight This is going to cost me my pride But I'll fight 'Til I die *Chorus* And I'm on my last money My peers; they are surpassing me This is life; And there's only one And I'm losing hard I'm losing hard I can't look gorgeous ones inside the eyes I feel unworthy By the by, my soul's worth searching By the by, I'm a decent person Oh, its the end of the world And I knew it would come Won't you do me this solid and Go in my arms?

about

Redline Graffiti Washington, D.C.

Redline Graffiti is a DC based trio that take sonic cues seemingly from wherever they please and produce, in turn, “a daydreamy swirl of rock, electro, new wave, doo-wop and R&B by musicians too young (or maybe just too smart) to care about the idea of genre” (Chris Richards, Washington Post). ... more
