Eyeswim 04:14

Misstep from shaky footing Cracks in the asphalt leaking We're under what we're after We stumble into traffic The ground gives out and opens We lunge and look for handholds Devoid of any purpose Our eyes swim to the surface Our eyes swim to the surface Our eyes swim to the surface We pile onto cop cars And wait for more instructions Your face in mid-explosion reflects the light and ashes we've whittled down our walls we've turned us into wolves Devoid of any purpose Our eyes swim to the surface Our eyes swim to the surface Our eyes swim to the surface So sick gotta lift people from their cages People are contagious People are contagious So sick I'll build monoliths we will raise them We will raise them We will raise them So sick gotta lift people from their cages People are contagious People are contagious So sick I'll build monoliths we will raise them We will raise them We will raise them

Stage Fright 02:16
lyrics

Face paint on Alarm clock shrieks A six week run My knees are weak Curtains up Expect defeat At tree sloth speed But now there's scenes to steal And a sleight-of-hand reveal When the dry ice clears It's just stage fright And on a cold night I'm feeling hot lights 'Round here Boredom crush Stuck in seaweed But I feel the drums Ferocious beat Kick your legs Produce some heat Get through the week But now there's scenes to steal And a sleight-of-hand reveal When the dry ice clears And now there's scenes to steal And a sleight-of-hand reveal When the dry ice clears It's just stage fright And on a cold night I'm feeling hot lights Up here Pull at the cracks Rip off the sheets It's cold in here So plant your feet Still got some strength Still got some teeth Your neck looks sweet

North By Northwest 02:27

Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first Lost the ground beneath my feet Deep into your arms I sink This muck is sucking quick I think They don't offer anything You and I got rope at least Lasso it around a tree Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first The water's spinning faster now I'm clinging a bit tighter now I'm proving I'm a fighter now The ship is splitting at the seams I make my raft with lightning speed I throw my weight against the deep Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first into whirlpools Face first

The Lady Vanishes 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Kids line up to slide Down the groove in your forehead Was it something I said Words sucked out in a vacuum Found face down in a pool with alligators and quicksand Try to loosen your jaw There's bald spots in the toothbrush You had a lazier face then We bought 'em 2 for a dollar Suppose we gather our things and go Results are coming in way too slow All I ever wanted was to think that you were happy So tell me that you're happy As you're turning away Your only eye twitches A sudden move to the door And you haven't been heard from since Suppose you never come back around Alone we cover a lot more ground Control beyond anything I've found But it's a curse man It's so much worse than it sounds

Rebecca 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Last night I dreamt you were with me This old house still welcomed entry And as you turned to face me We went sliding out into the sea We clung to each other As water's crashing down on us You whisper "To show my true colors To you would defeat the purpose And this all withers between us And you couldn't live with that" Now if you say that it makes you happy I'll burn the leaves off of the trees Winter whenever you say so Turn our lives off as a slideshow To pass off for family and friends If there was only some way you could tell me Whatever you want to compel me "You're perfect in every way." She squinted and sainted away And left me alone in this place Cold blue flames Chairs and chains I can't say Why I stay any... Rebecca you left me with Rebecca I want you to Rebecca how could you be Rebecca don't tell me I'm Rebecca don't hold me to Rebecca you kept me from Rebecca if only you Rebecca you told me to Oh, Rebecca don't make me go Oh, Rebecca it's all I can Oh, Rebecca it's all I can do

Shadow Of A Doubt 03:55
lyrics

Dying on a vine on the 5th of July The celebration was delayed for rain Stuck behind parades crossing 17th and Main Some people have places to be But I don't You're ten seconds through the crosswalk Sneaking home You've had some trouble with the top lock We can stand behind you Monsters to invite you over for Sunday meal But I won't put on my Sunday best And you can stay in my room Did you say I was your favorite? Woke up and today is exactly like yesterday But now you're here Your nose is in the papers and the Germans are relentless But that's so many miles away And I won't be this young for much longer Longing to show What I wrote about you last summer We can stay behind You said you'd find the time for me Your promises are fine But the kerosene and wine doesn't suit me So tell me what's wrong I can try to play along But can you get me out of here And now you see what I do And sure I’ll stay in your room 'Cos you're my favorite too Yeah you're my favorite too You wanna know what's wrong Well if you play along You'll find nothing is wrong You'll find nothing is wrong You'll find nothing is wrong We'll never be hungry we're surrounded by pigs

Find a place to meet me In the basement by the drain It proves secluded Underintruded It can't amount to strain Broken disguise Talented liars will turn away How did you let it get this far? Who were you trying to be? Why do you make me dance and sing With a jerk on the string Broken disguise Talented liars will turn away You'll never hide what anonymity buys you anyway Before you noticed Rode into focus Before we had our reasons Before it froze between us You know you're known for it Before you noticed Rode into focus Before we had our reasons Before it froze between us You know you're known for it

The Trouble With Harry (for Sean Dwyre) 02:59
lyrics

Britain's bathed in chemical clouds Ashes settled in our houses and mouths The doomsday hobos are laughing out loud Eyelids sagging like the leaves in the fall Wondering what it feels like to feel nothing at all IV dripping like a metronome Handfuls, landfills, and pockets of mud Won't help much in the upcoming flood Your last words came with a sickening thud Arteries bursting like molecular bonds Hoping for the sound of ten atomic b-bombs Instead I'm getting smothered by impossible calm Always dancing in his sad clown cloak Twirling and wincing and spinning his sulk The cactus carpet came cheaper in bulk Cheated on my taxes but my rap sheet is pure The other thing the lightning man told me is sure Get by by believing they'll come up with a cure What's the trouble with Harry? Well he's half a gut full of Victorian wine But his veins are riddled with bullets and brine The chicken fried steak he's hiding behind Pterodactyl swooping pretty close to our cave Asteroid coming gonna blow us away Hold me close, hold me close we'll be okay The next year's plans are swept to the shelves Cold sweats come in elevens and twelves The gravesite witches cross themselves What's the trouble with Harry Palms on the ground nostril loaded with dirt Pushing up always hurts more than it looks Put another foot in front of another foot Put another foot in front of another foot

To Catch A Thief 02:47
lyrics

Saw the thickening smoke through the center of town You were posing for pictures in your prisoner's gown If only you could have seen the executioner's face Alternating currents have him frozen in place Shoot at anything moving through your field of view Please aggressively target anyone in a suit It was you in that inkblot, I know for sure We'll invent diseases and destroy the cures Let's go on a crime spree Through hostile territory Let's start some entertainment And as we drive through the flames We hear them chanting your names They fill their boots with champagne Now I need something explained What'd you tell me to do? What you told me I've gone and done What'd you tell me to do? What you told me I've gone and done

This feels like more Than I can handle right now I hit the floor With my face in a race to the bottom right now Kick down your door Covered in scrapes Tore my cape on the wild thing's terrible claws And everything I practiced saying just came out in a pregnant pause But I'm about to hit this diamond in its super secret flaw We will shatter We will shatter We will shatter Let's grip the rungs of this alien ocean ladder Let's fill our lungs and plunge through liquid matter Deep down we clung Our scuba suits in tatters It's so much fun We can carve out a space in this rusted sunken ship In these multi-colored waters to a deep sleep we would slip Dreaming of the things we never dare let slip We will shatter We will shatter We will shatter We will shatter

The dance of strange new air Through the windows to our rooms It ends the quarantine You knew we'd save ourselves If you gave us half the chance We'll make our exit now Through your crumbling point of view Chandeliers are bursting into flames But the furniture is freezing just the same We're the flood that had to come Plunging upwards to the sun We'll be keeping you blacked up for now There was nothing you could do There was nothing you could do Camera angles capture the premiere Ultimatums rung out for birds to hear Temporarily retreat to reattack at faster speeds We'll be leaving you fucked up for now One or two left to keep an account

Flies in the face of a giant eye And there is no surface that can you hide From this giant and perfect eye And I'm starting to think that I'm A spark-sputtering robot to this eye And once all my gears have been realigned Once I'm meticulous and resigned Then all my functions can be strip-mined Give me a stimulus I'll comply Now all of the space that I've got left's between the top of my legs and the bottom of my desk Choreographed to stake a fence around The infinite things that you can fit inside a head Something's come in Something bad But according to the tests According to the tests There's nothing I can do I'm coming back to this world 'm coming back to this world Cause something's come in Something bad But according to the tests According to the tests There's nothing I can do But there's never been a test to what I can do Just bending back sitting still And keeping track of all my shit And showing up on time But we're all on Mr. Hand's time But Mr. Hand don't seem concerned that he's wasting our time Hey Mr. Hand why you taking my time when I don't have very much time Hey Mr Hand why you taking my time when I don't have very much time Hey tiny caste clutching onto my spine and sucking stealing my life It breaks you inside cos there's just so many things you can do with my life

I think I know a little too much I think I know a little too much I think I know a little too much And all the voices said Every channel's tuned to my favorite station Scraping away the bursts of noise With a million lights on I keep them all on till the circuits blow Cos every voice is screaming for complete attention Every thought needs to get away right now In my fight or flight song Sometimes I feel like I'm beating at a wall Someday it's gonna fall Que sera sera Whatever will be will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera Que sera sera Whatever will be will be The future's not ours to see The future's not ours to see The future is ours to make The future is ours to make

tttremors New York, New York

tttremors is John and Mike. Ex-Strikes Again! and Get Help. In 2009, they began a project that veered and got weird.Noises and loops became songs, named after Hitchcock films to sort them.Themes in those movies (fear, terror, love, loss, psychological warfare) became song subjects, so titles stuck.
John is also in The Triceratops (NY), Mike’s in Home Remedy (DC/NY) ... more
