It started out as something else A plan that went awry Never got a second chance collectively we sighed Where is the life we left behind The offer was declined My body goes into a trance I must be losing my mind Let’s get out Erase all doubt I want to Find out what it’s all about I need to see new faces Take me places Race into the open spaces Hope will sprout Erase all doubt And tell you what it’s all about Try new things Take new chances Make the best of circumstances I need someone to reassure Is the sickness worse or is the cure ? ‘Cause I can’t live with so much dread Looming ominous over my head

Misread 03:11
I could look better in a different light You could find out if you play your cards right I’m going out tonight I hope I catch a stranger’s eye It’s happened once or twice In a crowded corner in the perfect light I couldn’t hide my delight It must’ve been a sight My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose An observational ruse I turn and sigh... My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose My pride dies inside Sometimes I see you but I’m afraid to ask I wear this shyness Like a mask Break my mind It’s fine with me We’re Spitting hairs and Calling it Dichotomy I swear I’m headed back to my chair I’ve been chasing you and I can’t tell where I lost the plot somewhere You’re going vacant on me Dammit I can’t stand it it’s my... My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose An observational ruse I turn and sigh... My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose My pride will die inside At every chance that’s missed insist there must be more than this At every chance that’s missed insist there must be something more than this Yeah, did you know under your smile’s concealing you gave me This hopeful feeling After your heart’s revealing You left me such hopeless feelings My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose An observational ruse I turn and sigh... My Misread cues Have Set me up to lose My pride dies inside

Tastes 03:03
Oh You poor thing You’re left wondering Where did we both go wrong I’ll twist the clock To favor my time And maybe you’ll be strung along And I can’t forget The sense of regret That circles my head And runs through my blood Back at the start We you were close to my heart A flower beginning to bud Sweet like a sundae from a candy store Everyday melting you a little bit more Never had a reason to pause for doubt Eventually You find the tastes always runs out I was gonna be there We were supposed to grow old We’re both stranded here now With no one to hold Our past keeps on telling me Your part of my identity Don’t know where we’re headed But I’m going there on my hands and knees You always tasted Sweet like a sundae from a candy store Everyday melting you a little bit more Never had a reason to pause for doubt Eventually You find the tastes always runs out The now it’s over, it’s all coming down He’s at the station and is leaving town It’ll be sooner than forever He’ll let you down

The books are read and the children sleep The foxes dance Through the village streets The moon is out And the night is still The snow is falling On the window still And you’ve got everything you need The night is cool and filled with fireflies Time has made us both old and wise The pillow’s soft and your bed is warm Your dreams will beckon ‘till tomorrow morn And you’ve got everything you need You’ve got everything you need And you are everything to me

about

Like many people quarantined indoors during the coronavirus pandemic, musician Dane DiPierro struggled to stay creative in an isolated environment. A veteran musician of indie pop bands such as The Capstan Shafts, Ghost Hotel and Distant Creatures, he decided to revisit old demos he’d started years ago and finally finish these songs. In the process two new songs were written, each characterized by spirited indie rock, glittering dreampop and touches of folk ambience. The circumstances of the EP’s inception also informed the record’s lyrics which explore themes of isolation, restlessness, alienation, and learning to be content with the things we have.
