The golden boy The chosen one You are the night I am the sun What’s in your head? What’s on your mind? I’ll be the one To tow the line I’ll be the queen you’ll be my I’ll be the queen you’ll be my I’ll be the queen you’ll be my king I know you are, I know you are I see the darkness I feel it too I see the darkness in you Where I want to

Over 03:51
I was flying down the highway, the traffic flew my way and the headlights made a glimmering stream. They said you came back, that you were near me. You’re eager to see me. I know it, there’s nothing in my way One more time again I want your skin blooming in my hands I won’t slow down Until I hear the words trickle out your mouth "Oh goddamn" I saw you hold your ground. This won’t be easy if I can’t get you near me. Your shoulder keeps me at bay I couldn’t break your ground. I thought it was over. But then you came over and the night turned a brilliant red. One more time again I want your skin blooming in my hands I won’t slow down Until I hear the words trickle out your mouth "Oh goddamn"

We were star-dreaming, wondering what it’d be like As Cosmonaut flying over the sky I was feeling nervous until you said what was right “You won’t know any more till you give it a try"

She got in the car Lit up a smoke Put her foot on the gas Away too fast I’m having a dream It was just a dream No more no never Giv’n my heart to get broke No never Singing your name (drinking my blood) No more no never Coming around you No more no never Singing my song No more no never

Refract 03:39
I know I’ll need to see you soon after the moment ends You’re in-between every thought that isn’t you Day dreams I’ll gladly spend On how the next night goes Because you really want to know I mean you’ll never really know That’s alright, you’re here and I’m ready to go I love the grain of the pictures we took today I love the grain of the pictures we took today It’s clearer the more we talk this through that we will change We’re not going back up to your room Memories will be colored soon By how the last night goes The lens you look through and try to know I mean you’ll never really know It’s alright it’s over. I’m ready to go Against the grain of the pictures we took that day Against the grain of the pictures we took that day

Didn’t you know I was watching you last night When the champagne crashed I felt your eyes ignite Didn’t you know I would find you here tonight Let’s follow our feelings you know I’m right This feels right. Your gaze holds me still Black sky, moonlight understands this I don’t need you to believe it It’s not easy to leave you Your gaze holds me still I’m turning my pale face from you Into the light Cutting through the night Cutting through the night Didn’t you know I was watching you last night We can’t help ourselves, our bodies have realigned Didn’t you know I would find you here tonight Let’s follow our feelings you know I’m right This feels right.

I'd Be Lying 03:21
I saw you back-backing down Love got too real, now you feel too profound Tell me you miss me now You’re not the first just to want me around It doesn’t work like that Stop reaching for my hand if you won’t grab If you look from far enough back we’re a couple of specks that start to interact. For this reason or that We pull a part, breaking off to different tracks That’s why I can’t feel bad When repetition starts to numb what little we have It shouldn't work like that Stop reaching for my hand if you won’t grab It’s come to that I saw the other day that you had found someone to keep you warm A familiar sent hit And that got me going on the day you left and the reasons why we quite I guess some feelings will persist

It’s hard to explain I’m not the same How do I relate? Have you ever changed So completely around That you redefine the ground? He was in my mind Holy Spirit Divine Everything was design You hear that voice Inside your head? You're feel’n love from the dead He was in my mind Holy Spirit Divine Everything was design Have you ever changed So completely around That you redefine the ground? Spinning like a Carousel A Carousel A Carousel A Carousel I didn’t mean it that way What am I trying to say Should I hide who I am from you? What was I to do? This could've happened to you Think of all you are thrown into It’s hard to explain I’m not the same How do I relate? When you’re spinning like a Carousel A Carousel A Carousel A Carousel Get off the Carousel The Carousel The Carousel The Carousel Get off the Carousel The Carousel The Carousel The Carousel

about

Motives was built to cruise. It's music you put on as you move effortlessly down the highway or bike serenely through the trail. It was a very intimate experience making this album and I hope that comes through as you hear each track.
