Arne "lytron" Maroon 5 would tear out their legs if they could write 30secs of this by doing it. Great great great sixties math funk pop rock whatevergreens. Do more! Favorite track: Juicebox.

Tight Rope 05:23
holding onto the tight walk when your eyes fell to the ground as i was walking by i knelt down to pick them up you just smiled and shrugged holding onto the tight walk all the while should we really even be here??????? i don't know stumbled onto the tight rope fifty feet up off the ground as i was walking by i knelt down to pick you up i just smiled and shrugged letting go of the tight rope all the while I JUST GOT BACK FROM A TALK WITH MY DOG. HE SAID, "MY FRIEND, WE ARE THE ALIENS TO SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE." i said "if you are down, do you want to?" she lit a torch to the sky. i said "i do not give a damn if you want to let yourself wilt and die. and i know your zombie will still be in the earth." windows burn like wax hands forced to see the world blackened

Juicebox 04:02
even when ice creams taste like sun that's been waiting on the moment too far gone love your soldiers but steal the gun when eye screams taste like the appletrees don't find themselves you look like a juicebox the wires and the kites play hell you look just like a juicebox sleep all day, never grow old, dream all night, never remember spread my wings. i'm a bird stuck inside a man; fingertips instead of claw hands. naïve like a monster, trippin' balls on moonstars, perhaps an intervention from all this hopeless wishing. WHOA OH WHOA OH and we're all in the backyard in folding lawn CHAIRS!! take your feet and talk them into yourself

Wide Open 05:06
and i've been waiting on the sun to rest in my palms big ol' tangerine burns never hurt at all touch the moon with tippy-toes reflections in your eyeballs who'd you think i was? even i don't know well i've heard better jokes before but this one just don't get old: MY LIFE IS ALL. terror on horizon, shape of sugar plums rush of blood to my head, melting of ear drums whispers in the darkness, little house of moonlight holding hands so tightly, fingers work while the gun's fighting god wrote me a letter that he told me not to read so i jumped off a cliff just to see what he'd said i fell right down to the bottom i conked my head wide open.

if we're waiting on this to change we might as well just walk away up and above with the birds and the trees the towers fall down to our feet we might as well just walk away and i keep falling into me while i'm falling into you DRAW YOURSELF. WRITE IT DOWN. BECAUSE THEY WON'T REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE GONE. CROSS MY t's BLIND MY EYES. BECAUSE THE SIGHT OF IT HURTS MUCH MORE THAN WORDS. how come i don't feel welcome here anymore? cause i don't know where here is anymore call the cops when he stops breathing. tell them whatcha... it's too cold to be listening to you. call the shots. i'm too nervous. blood is on my... it's too cold to be listening to you.

YAKOBii 04:31
let's get lost again trying to find something real for you but it all feels pointless to me in my dreams. plastic indeed we're breathing. let's get high again fuck it all this shit that we're in but it all feels pointless to me in my dreams. plastic indeed we're breathing. somebody stole my imagination and turned into something that i was afraid of. somebody just walked right past me and stared me down. what was going on up in their head???? down and out, infant crimes, something more than what we just might... what's stuck in your eye? it's happiness. tell me more about how that makes you feel, the deepest fears that make you the man you are, define you. fall upon a blade of grass while your heart beats so fucking fast it burns holes in the soles of the ground, a dinosaur sound. lately i've been trying to feed the hunger, save my brains, delay impatience, to know the truth and love the one, fall prey to what's worse to come today.

life sprung, caught in the middle of a dead run but beware: my feet will fall. i know not whose hearts they'll land upon. fault line, meet you in the middle of... i got knocked down and i wonder as i fall, "how many kings have tasted this earth before me?" try me i won't go away. lovely, we are life span, cut short in a strange land. it got knocked down they were standing at the door and the men knelt down and gravely swore, "HERE LIES SGT. POPPA'S ANTHILL." it's not what you give, what you take it all away and it's not what she gives but she takes it all away
