Don't Talk About It Anymore
Dusty Lucite

Hectic Bending
Dusty Lucite
I remember the sound ambulances sped down the road behind us in dreams i'm trapped there with you we're falling down the valley did you know that you'd die when the truck wheels touched sky? or was it too fast? we're falling down the valley we're stuck against the ceiling crashing down and now I see you crashing down i'm right there with you i don't know what else i can say it doesn't matter at all inside my head anyway i live with your void that's all

Normal Harder
Dusty Lucite
froggies simmer in the pot they won't jump when it gets too hot you fainted here by standing up too fast you're having all your fun now while it lasts just normal harder frozen on a single word and static's the only thing you heard you double down on a lie they all chose you're hurting everyday and no one knows just normal harder can't you connect the dots? (it's not hard) we'll end up dumb as rocks (like a mall cop) you hear me when i say (won't you listen?) you'll come to rue the day you went and threw your sense away

Total Bliss
Dusty Lucite
wake me up with the softest kiss half asleep now sunday morning bliss lilac breeze hits you in the face crackling wood in the fireplace zooming dogs spinning on the rug pile of blankets we're snug as a bug quiet snow falling in the night the color glow of the christmas lights total bliss

Old Feelings (feat. D. Crane)
Dusty Lucite
old feelings (they're the ones that i know the best) your back's against the wall and so afraid to make the call old feelings (they're the ones that i know the best) and by the time you wait it out your love replaces all the doubt there's only one way that you ever get it back again there's only one way

The Rate of Change of The Rate of Change
Dusty Lucite
it's a beautiful day crocuses are in bloom but it's january love the warmth and yet it feels so wrong wakes you up in the night dream is always the same it's like we're running away it's like we're running 'cause everything around is crumbling down to the ground the seasons are dust you're welding on your rose-colored glasses you can't see it now 'cause you won't look at all 1.5 slips away nothing left we can do politicians just smile less than worthless 'cause everything around is crumbling down to the ground the seasons are dust you're welding on your rose-colored glasses you can't see it now 'cause you won't look at all the waves will crash on the buildings pink seas will rise the heat's never-ending our hopes and dreams for all of the children we can't have them now and we can't deal at all we can't deal at all

The Reddest Flag
Dusty Lucite
ignored the warning signs along the way and now the reddest flags are in our face flying bullet sounds ring at night found a taser by the wall but it's alright inside don't you worry anymore ignored the warning signs along the way and now the reddest flags are in our face flying but it's not right outside smokey hazy burning glow but we're alright inside don't you worry anymore for all time for all time i'll fly away from here fly away

Halo
Dusty Lucite
the sun is setting now on Laredo fed the sweetest old lab under the table desert heat is setting in church signs say "repent from sin" cracks in the red clay are evident the elephant is in the room but close you eyes and hum a tune 'cause you can't seem to live another way the mighty river it ain't so grand now you wanna stop this but you don't know how cattle company auctions fire sales and weeping men and things they just can't bring themselves to name we drove out in the morning light to beat the heat and see the sights light bends humid air and now i see halos i saw halos

A Love You Can't Deny
Dusty Lucite
you're my ride or die 'till the end of days and you make me whole in a million ways a love you can't deny it brings water to your eyes water to your eyes and i make you laugh at the dumbest things and i take no shit and i find your things a love you can't deny it brings water to your eyes water to your eyes when life goes away i will find a way to be with you again or i'll be damned
