A weekend away so I can get my head on straight I'm falling fast asleep but waking up is always bitter sweet Yeah, it's make believe every morning give or take And I need need need something to change in me A chain smoking car, Margot hums on the stereo I feel asleep in her arms on an apartment floor Then slipped out the back door to drink with your friends mom Now was she hitting on me? Did not know what to think But I never never felt more alive than I did that night So wait for me on a balcony of clouds With your hair the same color And if you fail to see not to bother with the little things Underneath your skin I know you're still in there You're somewhere I bet you never heard me sing about the Northern Lights And you're skyward dreams but they were oh so real to me As real as you, as you and I could be So wait for me on a balcony of clouds With your hair the same color And if you fail to see not to bother with the little things Underneath your skin I know you're still in there You're somewhere

Oh my God, it's hot and messy in this house I can smell the trash in the kitchen Burning it's way out Ya tell me I've got nothing to lose By living here I tell you I've got nothing to gain But hesitation and fear And these stairs they squeak and pop Giving my position away The bar below spills drunks into the street And at the top of their lungs I hear them singing Lie to me wrap me up in linen take me to the water Tell me that I'm blessed, that this mess I've made Is cleaner than the rest Oh my Lord, it's cramped and fucked up in this house Just give me a weekend by the water Come on I want out All bets are off now baby And I'm pulling out my teeth Maybe my gums hold the answer To who I need to be And if these walls could talk I swear they'd give all of my secrets away From the bar below I spill into the street And at the top of my longs I, I'm singing Lie to me wrap me up in linen take me to the water Tell me that I'm blessed, that this mess I've made Is cleaner than the rest

Drunk off spring and two queen size beds The taste of sea salts and her lips All dressed in white the Navy men the roam these streets And I know I know I know they'll always be better than me but My Miss Maryland don't let me down 'Cause I think I've got, I've got it all figured out My Miss Maryland don't let me down 'Cause you're all I have tonight Now my friend Elliott said "Whiskey works better than beer" And after a few more shots I think maybe I'll be in the clear I avoid sleep these days that way I don't dream 'Cause when I do it's always do disappointing in the morning I could still sing her to sleep but now it would just be cheap And all those words I wrote well now they don't mean a thing I've got five bucks left and I'm placing it on a sure bet She thinks she did nothing wrong and it's alright in her head My Miss Maryland she let me down Just when I thought I had, I had it all figured out My Miss Maryland she let me down This bottle is all I have tonight (This is all I have) My Miss Maryland she let me down Just when I thought I had, I had it all figured out My Miss Maryland she let me down This bottle is all I have tonight

Some nights I walk to where the sidewalk ends I open my lungs and take the atmosphere in If I should die, if I should die before I wake Know that I lived to love until the dying day But if you're going my way, hey tag along And if you're singing, sing loud and long I know you know I never meant for all of this As the tear streak your cheek their taste stings on my lips Your eyes are wide as we say our goodbyes Just know my love we're always under the same skies But if you're lonely this one is the one for you I've known you for so long now And you're all I've had since then So sink with me on a saltless sea Hold your breath till I say when Someday not far away you know we'll be okay When the states disappear and all of those miles fade But if you're lonely this one is the one for you I've known you for so long now And you're all I've had since then So sink with me on a saltless sea Hold your breath till I say when

List for me my love everything you were afraid of Growing up in a sunny seaside state Was it falling asleep without a light? Or maybe that the sharks would bite, If you went into that water past your waste? But as we grow, what scares me the most Is sleeping alone. Lately I've been thinking such awful awful things But the liquor keeps me dreaming And I lose my sense of me Bottles line the kitchen sink I wonder what my mom would think If she knew that I'd been drinking in the afternoon But as we grow, what scares me the most Is sleeping alone.

about

The Field Effect Boston, Massachusetts

With a shared respect for well-crafted songs, TFE packs a collective punch; spiked with introspective lyrics, infectious melodies, and ferocious rhythms. An antidote to the seemingly endless movement of aloof, lo-fi indie music, The Field Effect reclaims the genre with their passion for lyrical honesty, musical ability, and a fearless plight to make music for “the many” and not just “the few.” ... more
