So we have received many many requests to post for public consumption the lyrics from '
Cinematica' (as they are not included in the liner notes of the record), and after far to many reminders to mention, I have finally gotten around to keeping my promise. So... better late than never... below are the lyrics to all the songs on the record. Read, consume, enjoy, discuss. apologies for the delay in getting this up and out- thanks everyone!

‘Cinematica’ lyrics
Sounds Under Radio
Nobodysomeone
Free me from
Because I know you feel
Hold on to this
But bring back the love
I should have known way down
I know about the
things you said
but hold on to this
and bring back the love
I should have known way down
Portrait of a Summer Thief
You open up
To say you’re feeling alright
We’re pictures on the wall
You’ll figure out, that feeling here is alright
We’re still frames in the hall.
But it’s not that hard
Could you save me from?
Could you be there for me?
Could you wake me from?
Could you be my thief?
These summer stars are fading out
Your silhouette reminds me now
Off all the things I wish I could have said
So picturesque in black print dress
Your darkened hair a perfect mess
I’d touch you if my hands could only try
But it’s not that hard
Could you save me from?
Could you be there for me?
Could you wake me from?
Could you be my thief?
Just open up
You said you’d open up
I wish you’d open up
Why can’t you open up
Could you save me from?
Could you be there for me?
Could you wake me from?
Could you be my thief?
Wasteland
This painted house
There's no way out
This lonely couch
Is waiting for you
There’s a hole in space
But I can’t wait
You’re stealing the scene
It’s all that you’ve been
Does it help you get by
But this all will start
This all will start
But this all will start
This all
You fade out from stereo
Headlights stream their afterglow
Your soft weight always let me know that
The highway stretches out
A wasteland ocean I can’t forget
Pacific tides can’t help me see you again
But this all will start
This all will start
But this all will start
This all
You’ve gotta wake up wake up
I’ve come to let go let go
You’ve got to give up give up
I’ve come to know
You’ve come to give up give up
You said you never would know
You said wherever you go, wherever you go
You’ve gotta wake up wake up
You’ve gotta wake up wake up
I’ve come to let go let go
You’ve got to give up give up
I’ve come to know
Sell Out
(Give it up you said you wouldn’t give it out)
I am not your suicide
Machines have brought you back to life
You know it’s all in your head
See me feel me
And hold me out
Put those bullets back inside
Because everything is wonderful now
But they’re all in your head
Cause you sold me out
You sold me out, you sold me out again
You hold me back
When your, your feeling scared
It’s all about the lies you said
Our broken bed is crumbling down
It’s all in your head
Cause you sold me out
You sold me out, you sold me out again
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said…
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said…
Cause you sold me out
You sold me out, you sold me out again
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Give it up you said wouldn’t give it out
Digital Lo Fi
Think of the way that you came cause I’m already here
Think of the way that you came and I'm already here
Everybody wanted to see you
Everybody wanted feel
No one else was hearing the sadness
Was something they just couldn’t steal
But I'm not afraid
I'm not like you
Sell yourself to the digital lo fi
Sell your self to the digital lo fi
Think of the way that you came cause I'm already here
Think of the ay that way that you came
And I'm already here
Everybody wanted to see you
Everybody wanted feel
You're reaching out for someone to hold back
Was something you just couldn’t steal
Sell yourself to the digial lo fi
Sell your self to the digital lo fi
Sell yourself to the digial lo fi
Sell your self to the digital lo fi
Think of the way that you came
Sell yourself to the digial lo fi
Picture Frame
In a moment I’ll feel her breaking me down again
The stars in the distance are my only friends
Her empty apartment is leading me homebound
She’s saving the world but she’s killing her own
And I feel
And I feel she’s coming home
And I feel
And I fear she’s not alone
She’s pale underneath her porcelain skin
I’m sinking deeper as she pushes inward
A tear in the fabric of her favorite dress
She cries from the distance and its making all this… its
making all this
And I feel
And I feel she’s coming home
And I feel
And I fear she’s not alone in the dark anymore
Our bodies on the floor
I loved her when she lied
Our bodies moved in time
So come on
Teleprompter
Open your mouth let these suns sink you in
Let them color your face let them pain all your skin let the
daylight fill up the room.
As we’re watching the screens you’re still painting the
scene
with your words you can’t mean all these terrible things
I’ll just sit right here as you smile.
(I’ll keep waiting, TV’s changing I’ll just right here you
smile.)
Does nobody notice the shapes on the wall as your fingertips
form them you’ll make us feel small but you’ll rock the rest to their sleep.
(I’ll keep waiting, TV’s changing but you’ll rock the rest
to their sleep.)
We Are All Bright Blue Stars
I’m holding out for you to scream aloud
for there to be no doubt that we’re still here
Just hate me and treat me like a baby,
It’s lets you know that maybe you still have control
Cause your already here
You do it to yourself without a care
You do it but your already here
Sometimes I think about the end
I’m lying closer now protecting all my friends
But oh don’t you cry
Its you who said it but I swear it was a lie
Cause your already here
You do it to yourself without a care
You do it but your already here
Cause you’re already here
Already here,
you do it but you’re
Already here,
oh ya you’re already here
Cause you’re already here
Lightspeed
World’s upheaval, freedom, stars scream out above it all
You can’t see it, breathe it in, you know I'm right behind
you
Swallow me whole
Abandon all your reason
Don’t you know
You’re moving at lightspeed
Conquer disbelieving
This has been made up for you
They can’t save us, break us
Bring it on we’ll keep on breaking thought
Without a trace
Erasing guilty longing
Don’t you know
You’re moving at lightspeed
You’re moving at lightspeed
You’re moving at lightspeed
You’re moving at lightspeed
I want you to see it
I want you to feel it
Breathe it in
Keep on moving
You’re moving at lightspeed
Perfect Machine
The emptiness in space
You’re spinning like a carousel
But your eyes focus in the light again
As crowds of people stand
I'm hiding from the minute hand
of clocks that wake my morning light, without you there… the
walls just stare
I'm your perfect machine
I’ll collapse everything
Cause I'm your perfect machine
I’ll collapse everything
Your plane is overhead
This room is stale and empty now
You lay your head
In cities only phones can bring
But mine won’t ring
I'm your perfect machine
I’ll collapse everything
Cause I'm your perfect machine
I’ll collapse everything
