    TOUR UPDATES:

    We have been home now for over a week.  All of us are enjoying some much needed down time.  Next week, we'll be starting our tour with DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!  Toronto is our first stop.  More to come while we're on the road!

    After a little hiatus this summer (we have some personal business to attend to), we'll start the fall off by playing Seattle's BUMBERSHOOT!  So excited for this:  We'll be playing at Key Arena!!  Read more here: bumbershoot.org.    

    We head right after our Seattle show for Boston, where we meet up with TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB and BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB.  It has been suggested we may need to consider a name change to "THE LONELY FOREST CLUB". More info can be found for that tour here:  http://twodoorcinemaclub.com/.

    We've got some new cat photos coming, too...

    Be Everything

    sitting with him on the rocks
    he’d been my strongest support
    the arms that I’d run to
    but I knew sooner or later
    it’d come to the point
    when the truth would snake its way out
    and...
    I will always look up to him
    together we share our father’s sin
    I am afraid of myself and the darkness
    that’s rising inside of my heart

    I hope I can trust you
    I know I can’t trust myself
    open my eyes, remove anything in the way

    please be all I need
    be everything

    walking away from the water
    I felt that a weight had been lifted
    you shown through the clouds
    and one day when I have a boy
    and I can’t keep this from him...
    his father’s sin

    oh, I will try and trust you
    because I know I can’t trust myself
    open my eyes, remove anything in the way

    please be all I need
    be everything

     
    Turn Off This Song and Go Outside

    welcome to my heart and soul
    a miserable excuse to tell the world
    of all the pain I’ve caused
    I hope you don’t forget these songs
    though
