Saudade (free) 04:09
lyrics
download
Shots across your bow dear The ping of a submarine Shaking the hand of a stranger His arm is a slot machine Counting the ones that are numberless Knowing unknowable things Separate strings on a stream that is endless Winding it's way back to me Saudade mono no aware Staring over the skyline Halfway breathing Halfway sighing Sing and warbling, the coloratura deafens and terrifies me Battling windmills with armies of arm-less, pulling out handfuls of teeth Silence the voices, the echoing laughter - rattle your chains round my door Forget-me-knots of your compounding problems, nobody knows what they're for

Staggering, Staring (free) 04:02
lyrics
download
Wrapped in amber, encased in pine Dried and brittle and caught on fire A long dead kindness in your eyes I was thinking about leaving But I lost the way out But I lost the way out But I lost the way out Hey, hey far out See me stuttering, staggering, staring Watch the neighborhood vanish into thin air Thin air Thin air But I'd like to go along But you got it all wrong Hey, hey so long

Fever Trippin' (free) 03:52
lyrics
download
Slipping on a sea of strange designs Flipping on that fever tripping wire Strung up like a puppet to desire Ball up the fists and watch them fly Every time you arrive Every time you arrive Hidden hands and obvious disguises All the lights of hell flashing in my eyes Slipping on a sea of strange designs Flipping on that fever tripping wire Strung up - a puppet to desire Ball up the fists and watch them fly Every time you arrive Every time you arrive Hidden hands and obvious disguises All the lights of hell flashing in my eyes

To the Old (free) 04:29
lyrics

Pay all of what you owe them Pay more than what you owe Farewell to the new ones Hello to the old Heaven knows you did Heaven knows what you did

Contrails (free) 06:15
lyrics
download
Staring at the slow suggestive Wondering where it ends Dual contrails overtaking Dual chem-trails checkering the sky In their uniforms they're waiting for the word to twist the lock Fanning hands are trembling cradling the face of the doomsday clock All the vapour lines were beautiful, we stood out in the rain We were beholden to no one, we were twisting on the edge of everything

A/B (free) 04:21
lyrics
download
There is springtime in your words It's the warbling of birds I am not sure what you mean or what it has to do with me There's a little truth to it And it tastes just like your spit When you tried to bite your tongue when it was stuck between my teeth Your hands around my neck To throttle or embrace Phrases I should never speak Spilling all over the place It's what I really mean It's a ticket straight to hell Describe a fucked up dream I don't care who you tell Fed up being dead on Fooled by a face drawn on again And I'll throw up if this sad song doesn't stop ringing in my head Darling, on the low, I can't turn it on and off you know Shut down, blow it back, black out, and wake up all alone Words I can't defend against Terrible intent And this noise inside my chest Things that I should not admit It's what I really mean It's a stinging awful sound And though I hate myself for it I wish you would come around again

Enemy Airship St. Louis, Missouri

"Enemy Airship creates a sound that is atmospheric yet tightly coiled, its guitars and synths bleeding together to hint at garage rock, indie-pop, New Wave and experimental tones without ever picking a side." - Aarik Danielson, Columbia Daily Tribune
