everyone kindly get down on the floor did anyone remember what gideon's bible was for? take a seat and blow your mind, it won't be long before you find some freedom. it's a matter of triplets to twins when the end don't know where to begin i put a finger on both of my lips and my tongue and my teeth are as tight as it gets 'cause i feel a change in temperature like pins and needles skin red sun rise with the mercury a change without from a dream within and it's bright beneath these eyelids there ain't nobody gonna keep me silent a brand new day's about to rattle & hum days of grace are what i'm feeling these winds of change, they got me reeling hold that thought for a second or two let the gods take a good look at you and wind you up for a moment in flight but your time in the sky will last more than tonight 'cause i found a great spectacular sweet piece of morning glow red sun horizon glitters on the cobblestones to a tune that goes like...

Blue & Green 04:13
take some time to think me over take some time to take me in when you give to me what i give to you like a shadow i'm back and i love you all over again here i lie beneath the ocean blue and green was on my mind here we drive beside the ocean mermaids are singing on I-95 fell asleep last night without you woke the morning pretty much the same although i dreamed of you in those greens and blues to me you're a beautiful hue of a color i can't seem to name thinking of you, wasting my time away under the sea, wasting my time i'm loving you, taking my time, you see i'm loving you here i lie beneath the ocean

nothing left to say no more nothing left to do i'm insincere again your cigarette burns just like a fuse now i'm the lucky one face down on the silver spoon and i wish you'd just push me away, away beyond the stage where i know you'd like to be you live your life like a monologue you never let me speak clap clap goes the audience never once let 'em stop to breathe and what's good for you is all that you can see thought you said i taught you how to beat the demons down lies lies and your false surprises and just look at us now ashes ashes on my face a red jacket on my floor i can't believe after all you've seen you keep coming back for more big tears in her eyes wins an award when she cries thank you, thank you and goodnight i swear i'm on my way and i think you should be, too i guess that i'll get canonized in the stories that you use to prove yourself to friends of other friends and the lucky ones to be but like i said, it don't matter all that much to me

walk, talk just like an elephant with hot shocks of very beautiful and taut thoughts that closes eyes to the impossible dreamweave like a fanatic in your green sheets it's automatic, you should trust me so pick your possible 'cause i see it in you thin skin logistic formulas predictions and all that normal is all fiction: the skinny fractions of impossible see me as your protection in the palm trees and every section of your hot dreams as vivid as possible 'cause i see it in you indelible beautiful you month to month and so courageous write, rip, read and turn my pages you deserve this introduction: shoots and leaves without compunction find a line that shines and cross it time to stab your albatrosses time to pen and ink your opus time can never ever choke us so smart a combination of your head and your art the education of a passionate heart the cultivation of possible remember, dear the spell is lifted in december, dear when optimistically assembled gears spin for the possible 'cause i see it in you indelible beautiful you

Cloud Nine 04:31
leave me alone, i won't talk right now. i hate the way my teeth click when this bullshit stumbles out. i am an old fool always tapping on the sun, but i see in four dimensions and i know which way to run. now it's bleeding through the windows and grinning ear to ear. it permeates my bedroom. eclipses all my fears. yes i'm breathing something different than the words that's on display. the future's only history now my lungs embrace today. here on cloud nine talking shop is out of style and we don't mind gazing stars for just a while here on cloud nine there is time and time again for the sublime columns and rows he swallows and rubs his nose: "excuse me, but where do we explode? my lungs are on fire because i'm breathing something different than these numbers on display. you plan for five but this year's mine and i'll die before i cage.
7.
when left alone to do all the things a good boy should i get to wondering and wandering up above what about this greenery, these Hollywoods, these vines that creeped and crawled and carried us and showed us how to love? these snowflake words we spoke into the atmosphere just sucked up solid, dropped, and shattered under us what about these other ones who by the grace of God wait in the wings for things, for another one so curious? bienvenido ray my friend the midnight ghost, she's back again and she lets us watch her from a window up above she spins the sunlight like a song we could deconstruct her but we mesmerize instead from behind the clouds where we belong reason one meet season two there's scientific summer sound about you you conduct your arms, run off you tracks that graceful ghost, she's all of that she sings like angels sick with love, forgets to realize that we above have tattooed angels on both our arms yeah, me and ray we look down from the stars the borealis cracks my lense and hypnotized we both begin to descend

about

Armada Los Angeles, California

Armada are a powerful four piece cranking out soulful indie rock from the bleeding heart of Los Angeles. Brain meets brawn with sharp, earthy lyrics wrapped in classic, rough-and-tumble songwriting. This is what might happen if Spoon, Wilco, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club threw a pool party with Queens of the Stone Age scoring the water ballet. ... more
