Towers

When the flood came
I was wading down south
Coasting on a break
Until I returned to you
When I heard the call
I was sure they’d found me out
Had to risk it all
Until I returned to you
I thought it would stay the same
I wanted to coast my way
I felt a little betrayed
In the end those towers made me walk a different way
There sits a rosary
In a lonely empty room
Only twins can see
The burn of the tempest sun and moon
They were building up
424 endocrine
Angels fall from their lofts
While you steep in your constant sin
I thought it would stay the same
I wanted to coast my way
I felt a little betrayed
In the end those towers made me walk a different way
Falling down some cliffs
Falling for you quick
I thought it would stay the same
I wanted to coast my way
I felt a little betrayed
In the end those towers made me walk a different way

They keep coming round to give their best to you
But you know, it won’t do
And its funny that when things look down for you
Happiness shines through
That’s how you’ll go, that’s how I’ll know, you’re ready for afterlife
Whatever it brings, I’ll keep on singing, never losing the sight of your light
You always said that you’d skip into the night
Now I know, you were right
Skipping rocks on the coast in dawn’s virgin light
And I know, I’ll be alright
That’s how you go, that’s how I know, you’re ready for afterlife
Whatever it brings, I’ll keep on singing, never losing the sight of your light
The sight of your light
The sight of your light
By your bedside
And I fold today
A hundred thousand cranes
Taking flight
And you soared away
Leaving no remains
Taking flight
And a perfect day
Sun rising up
Taking flight
And you can see that you are free from your past
And you fly away
And you fly on to another day
And peace will find you in that place that your soul decides to rest
And you fly away
And you fly on to another day

Georgian Islands

Dreaming of Georgian islands where we can run
Where we can hide, harvest some sun
The tide brings tokens of the past
It's always fresh in our minds
And we’ll use it to build a future that’ll last
Cause we keep repeating time
Dreaming of Georgian islands where we can run
Where we can hide, harvest some sun
And if they find us, the spring is sprung
Let’s say goodbye, watch our fates run
We’re living in a state of distress
But maybe faith wasn’t a crime
And our entanglement is one that love could bless
But let's not rush into that tonight
Dreaming of Georgian islands where we can run
Where we can hide, harvest some sun
And if they find us, the spring is sprung
Let’s say goodbye, watch our fates run
Only we can water our own destiny
I hope Kuru never finds us in our sleep
In the future we’ll foil the moon
Say it to make it true

Top Shelf Top Ramen

We just met but I wanted to write you a song
Only saw you this morning but thinking about you all day long
Got a lot to say but don’t wanna stumble through my words
My hearts doing front flips and I'm flying high with the birds
I have some reservations but not at a fancy restaurant
Gotta figure out if I can give you everything that you want
Been looking at my bakers rack trying to solve my dilemma
Was really looking for a gal named Nichole but your name is Emma
You're like top shelf top ramen
You're right up there with a Shakespeare sonnet
You might not age gracefully but you're a beauty today
I'm not the best at writing lyrics, OK?
Been talking to my friends figuring out what to do
I know life's a little easier to live in pairs of twos
Got a lot of coupons for buy one get one entrées
Still haven't made a move yet and it's already been a couple of Sundays
You're like top shelf top ramen
You're right up there with a Shakespeare sonnet
You might not age gracefully but you're a beauty today
I'm not the best at writing lyrics, OK?
Top shelf top ramen
Top shelf top ramen
Top shelf top ramen
Top shelf top ramen
You're like top shelf top ramen
You're right up there with a Shakespeare sonnet
Wondering if I'll ever reach you, you know I wanna
The only intimate relationship I have is with my pet iguana

Earlier Newcastle, Washington
Hailing from Bellevue, Washington, Earlier uses a blend of indie pop, rock, and alternative. The project took form during light and fun musical sessions of roommate bonding, which led to the creation of their first song, “Top Shelf Top Ramen”, about settling for mediocracy. They then decided to continue writing and self-produce their debut EP, The First Sessions, which was released in June 2018. ... more
