Sussex 03:03
I hear the heart’s a lonely hunter It takes a trick to divide Don't underestimate the details Don't mistake self-pity for pride It takes time It's alright It’s a loss of intuition The words you said to me Now my minds a subdivision Of who I used to be Spent some time in a three-year city Still a stranger in your arms And you were a library of lost thoughts And you had ice water eyes And you came to love what I was not But saw instead a man devised It’s a lack of a sensation Your eyes glossing over me I’m not surprised at your frustration I’m not the man you’d hoped to see

Matador 05:59
You know I’m persuasive Reward me with trust, you swear “Famous Blue Raincoat” was written for us And when you’re looking my way, Things are going my way Let’s leave this party, hide away for an hour, just you and me Find out there’s nothing more that you envy I try to be self-sacrificing I aim to be in control of the situation Girl we’re gonna go places I will take you places Tell me I’m surefire, Chase my effect, you sway, You move like a florist Take your time to select And when there’s something to say Things go better my way You ask if I’m a traditional man, I might have been You’re lookin’ for a tell-tale heart, it's not mine to give I try to be self-sacrificing I aim to be in control of the situation Girl we’re gonna go places I will take you places (I will take you there)

What was I supposed to do? You told me forever I didn’t know we were just playin’ I can taste the sunlight in your step Like one more drink And I’m way beyond resisting you I can feel it right beside her Like it hangs around my neck You could hold on even tighter I’m a model citizen I could go a little longer If I’m welcomed like a guest It might be a friendly gesture If you introduce me to the rest Living out “Tender Is the Night” and I am your Leading Man You’re clever, you’re never alone Could you get the lights sweetheart? (Could you get the lights sweetheart?) I’m glad I found you Out amongst the grey blue green Swimming through you is pretty easy I hope you find out Whether you loved your father I’m sorry you’re nervous all the time I can feel it right beside her Like it hangs around my neck You could hold on even tighter I’m a model citizen I could go a little longer If I’m welcomed like a guest It might be a friendly gesture If you introduce me to the rest We’re living out “Tender Is the Night” and I am your Leading Man You’re clever, you’re never alone Could you get the lights sweetheart? I’ve been credited with the fall of man

Pearl Diver 04:59
Tell me what it is that undoes me from end to end And I'll break from you What it takes from me not to tell you exactly how I feel When I see you there What I see in you Girl, you’re a pearl diver Weigh my heart in judgement’s favor Tempest eyes steal tortured hours Deliver me Your voice is lost in my worship Introduce me to your vignette Your eyes, your smile, your silhouette Haunts me Tell me what it is that undoes me from end to end And I'll break from you What it takes from me not to tell you exactly how I feel When I see you there What I see in you Girl, you’re a pearl diver Weigh my heart in judgement’s favor Tempest eyes steal tortured hours Deliver me Like sound travels over water Distance is no threat The secret to a happy life I’m reluctant to forget Girl, you'r a pearl diver Tempest eyes steal tortured hours Girl, you’re a pearl diver God’s existence in her smile Deliver me

Barrier 04:59
Give chase and I’ll be waiting You could be wasted on me Keeping up with a haunted heart It gets harder as the sun retreats You're a killer if you walk away now I'm not married to the thought of you aren't It was never my intention to corner you Come here And let me take the darkest parts of you So long So much for being what I want us to Please, your voice maintains me Your conversation is a luxury I’m hanging on to each and every word Commit this moment to my memory You're a killer if you walk away now I'm not married to the thought of you aren't Make my vices your vices to find you I’ve watched men follow and fall behind you Come here Let me take the darkest parts of you So long So much for being what I want us to

When you tell me your desires in confidence You make them mine I could equal your possession, give me time We could take it to the Nines She fell into the habit of the tide Ran through hallways always searching If there’s a pattern to your step, you’ve caught my eye Otherwise its just play This love comes with a shadow I could equal your possession, give me time We could take it to the Nines You pull me under Hold my breath like the bride beneath her veil You put me under The sequence of our actions arrive Like fevers in the night You say love’s a decoration that we hide And replace with second sight She fell into the habit of the tide Ran through hallways always searching If there’s a pattern to your step, you’ve caught my eye Otherwise its just summer days This love comes with a shadow I could equal your possession, give me time We could take it to the Nines You pull me under Hold my breath like the bride beneath her veil You put me under

Ellipsis 04:31
Convinced myself I've a sentimental soul Maybe I’ve lost the spring in my step Take it slow as you approach Retract my hand, you’re electric Because silence won’t ease the anguish and locked doors can’t hide sharp words And you can’t separate Confessor from confession Memory’s a ghost and she lives with me I’ve spent my chivalry Bearing your sympathy Memory’s a ghost and she lives with me She lives with me, she lives with me Her tongue, it whips me softly now, will it balance out my shame I can vouch for passing rituals, though they may be all in vain I’ll try to avoid every treacherous moment I would sink my teeth in love She’s dwelling in the bottom of my heart but my heart's no longer inhabitable I wouldn't take you for any less than fast style All my valor has been impaired

Indecisive darling cover me with a coat of arms I’m drawn to the aesthetic of being guided through a storm It’s the art of conversation that I respect but do not fear If I were to call you sweetheart would you be any more secure Just call me elusive Surround myself with the cynics and skeptics And I fit like a glove She’s a hazard to the day by day But not the only one

about

Disco Volante Portland, Oregon

Disco Volante is a band from Portland. Paying homage to the post-punk genre of the 80's and its revival in the early aughts, Disco Volante breaks into a tangent of their own by blending 60's pop elements with expressive film score-inspired arrangements. The result is a cinematic sound that naturally gravitates toward the film noir.
