A Promise & A Threat

Black pen with red ink
It's far to dark to see it, oh the irony
So I'm stabbing my drink
Like it's threatening me

Nine or then ten, now I'm in my element
I've got big plans but I end up forgetting them
Woe is me
My mind runs on light but once the sun has set again,
I will find the things that will replenish it
Woah, is this me?

I am certain that
By tonight I will see more clearly where I lie
From these mirrored walls of mine
And in the end I'll send
Some untimely message that says,
"I could love you again."

Let's go defense! I have been through worse than this
It's not a comeback unless there was a deficit
Woe is me
My mind runs on light but once the sun has set again,
I will find the things that will replenish it
Woah, this is me

I am certain that
By tonight I will see more clearly where I lie
From these mirrored walls of mine
And in the end I'll send
Some untimely message that says,
"I could love you again, that's a promise..."

That's a promise and a threat

Resign these eyes!
I will see more clearly when I die
From these mirrored walls of mine
And in the end I'll send
Some untimely message that says,
"I could love you again, and that's a threat."

Constitution

I
f this doesn't work out, if you're not enough
Then everyone elses hope will be lost
For we were the stuff that movies are made from

And where did the sex go? Weren't you the one?
The mystery, magic, and music are gone
We've torn a page from the volumes of love

And if this were meant to be worth it
If this would one day be perfect
Then speak up dear for it's unclear how to do this

Surprise, surprise!
I am finding out the easy way
That one missed step goes a long, long way
And all the late-night walks in the world,
They won't change a thing
And my demise
Is that I am finding out in the hardest way
That the best part of giving your heart away:
Is taking it back one day

Now what have we learned kids? It's all give and take,
We all compromise and we all make mistakes
And forgiveness is, something... blah, blah, blah, blah

No, no, no, no
The fist thing that comes is the focus on flaws
Then the resentment and screening their calls
And the glory of the awkward pause

Please forgive me I'm nervous
And I'm just doing this on purpose
But speak up dear for it's unclear how to do this

Surprise, surprise!
I am finding out the easy way
That a little second guess is a big mistake
And all the coffee shop talks in the world,
They won't change a thing
And my demise
Is that I am finding out in the hardest way
That the best part of giving your heart away:
Is taking it back one day

Game over

Method Actor

Three cheers for running away, on five, four, three, two, one
Hip-Hip Hooray! But I'm still smiling
Never taken a class, I learned this all by myself
Master of the craft of being somebody else
I play all of my friends so well

I'm always hitting my mark but I'm always coming up short
This is not just drama child, it's so much more!
I'm a method actor
But I didn't give and I didn't let go
Maybe saving some one you love by cutting your own rope,
Makes you an idiot not a hero

And for my next act when the marker snaps
I'll recite my lines with feeling
On the big screen, in that final scene
I will stick to the script as it was written for me

(Frame by frame I steal your lines,
Take by take I long to find my...)

On the big screen
In that final scene
I will stick to the script and find my happy ending...

This Is Our Nature

We are as we were when we arrived
And we shall be the day that we die
And I'm willing to wager
That our bones will grow and our cells they will divide
As will our hearts not far behind
For this is our nature

And beware of those day-planners and their ways
Of keeping their stories straight
It's of no use
Oh, it's the double-life for me for all of my days
And I'm not just losing face
I'm losing more of my excuse

I should be followed wherever I go
Oh all of these things that no one knows get on my nerves
And my ears burn when I am alone
But for all good things I can only hope
But I'm not so sure

We are like the stories, the leaves, the lines
These things they have two sides
And I'm gonna make sure
That when my bones they break and my cells, they do resign
And my heart meets it's demise
This will have been my nature

And beware of those day-planners and their ways
Of keeping their stories straight
It's of no use
Oh, it's the double-life for me for all of my days
And I'm not just losing face
I'm losing more of my excuse

I should be followed wherever I go
Oh all of these things that no one knows get on my nerves
Oh, it's the double-life for me for all of my days
And I'm not just losing face
I'm losing more of my excuse
And my ears burn when I am alone
But for all good things I can only hope
But I'm not so sure

Hey kids.

So on the brink of the release of our EP, and our most anticipated tour thus far, our tour van has been stolen.  We aren't really sure how to deal with it because it seems so unbelievable, so despicable, so surreal that someone would steal such an important part of our lives away from us.  It is a true tragedy.  We were only "with" the van for a year, but it played an important role in the development our band, and most importantly, the growth of our friendship with each other.  The latter may sound lame, but until you've spent weeks in a van with a group of strung out, hung over, rotten smelling friends, you wouldn't understand how true that last statement becomes.

Thankfully, we were able to find a van for our upcoming tour for a nominal fee and therefore, the tour will go on as planned.  Count on us to be as furious on stage as we have ever been - a whirlwind of anger and redemption.

Come out and support us on this tour, we need your love more then ever.

Now, observe a moment of silence for our van, which was called "Oprah Winfrey Presents The Color Purple (Featuring Fantasia).

Soon.

Friends,

The summer is almost over. Find a warm body for winter.

We here at headquarters wanted to let you in on our future as we have neglected our digital phantom limb these past few months in exchange for writing and recording.

First off, this little piece of domain as well as our website will be getting a full-content rehaul in the coming month with new exciting humour and band-related pixels to distract you from work and school this fall.

In bigger news, we have a new record.

It will be released digitally this fall with a more calibrated release date to follow in the next few weeks.

It will be 100% FREE.

Yeah, free. Beat that, suckas.

We recorded it under the lense of one Bryan Russell in Maryland. He has recorded some great bands such as Envy on the Coast, Straylight Run, Minus Scale, The Narrative, and he even engineered Coldplay X&Y. Fun stuff.

For those who love liner-notes, fear not. A physical release will follow with a blow out release party in october with star-studded friends.

We are consolidating our debt. All new merchandise will be available to coincide with the album release.

We will hit the road in Oct./Nov., retreading old ground and planting our flag on a few new hills of old USandA. Dates and venues to be posted shortly.

If you ordered our last album and did not recieve it, please email thestationaryset@gmail.com to confirm your address, we know there were some return to senders who havent gotten their album yet.

Our old album will be available digitally in the next month. More on that later

The next blog is going to have alot of numbers, dates and whatnot, so listen clearly now... and follow closely.
The Stationary Set is moving forward, choosing Life.

Until the hammer drops: Keep your face burried in those ivory's Schroeder.. Lucy will never love you like that piano does.

TSS

PostScript,

To the a-hole that broke in to our van and stole our 1997 Sony CD player:

a) every pawn shop in NYC has a thousand of those and no one buys them anymore, douchebag.
b) Enjoy the Allison Krauss, sucka!

Sync Live will be airing our set at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville Florida LIVE as it happens!

We know that most of you have jobs and can't afford the time or the money to come all the way down to Florida to see us play, so let this compensate.  Watch it on our myspace profile, KIDZ!

"The Stationary Set
In mathematics, particularly in set theory and model theory, there are at least three notions of stationary set:

Classical notion
If ? is a cardinal of uncountable cofinality, , and C intersects every club in ?, then C is called a stationary set. If C is not stationary then it is a thin set.

In fact the intersection of a stationary set and a club set is itself stationary. This is true because if S is stationary and C1,C2 are club we have: . Now  is a club set as it is the intersection of two club sets. So  is non empty. But then  must be stationary as C2 is arbitrary.

See also: Fodor's lemma

The restriction to uncountable cofinality is in order to avoid trivialities: Suppose ? has countable cofinality. Then  is stationary in ? if and only if  is bounded in ?. In particular, if the cofinality of ? is , then any two stationary subsets of ? have stationary intersection.

This is no longer the case if the cofinality of ? is uncountable. In fact, suppose ? is regular and  is stationary. Then S can be partitioned into ? many disjoint stationary sets. This result is due to Solovay. If ? is a successor cardinal, this result is due to Ulam and is easily shown by means of what is called an Ulam matrix."

TRANSLATION: The Stationary Set is a kick ass rock band.  All the C1's, ?'s, and S's are gonna arbitrarily intersect, disjoint with cofinality, and partition into a club known as The Annex on January 22nd. and neither Ulam, Jech nor Fodor and his so called "lemma" can do a damn thing about it.
