I owe you The greatest threat you ever knew Took me through A bag of shells, and now I’m there I flew across the sea to meet you Knew I’d be gone before you hit the sand Before you hit the sand Can I make it to the white-walled room Everyone’s alone, in love, and happy there There your best friend’s inside I flew across the sea to meet you Knew I’d be gone before you hit the sand Before you hit the sand The wise men share their drinks Color’s bright but as result We talk without mimicking We find answers anways I flew across the sea to meet you Knew I’d be gone before you hit the sand Before you hit the sand I’ve got a twisted thing That needs fixing, I do I flew across the sea to meet you Knew I’d be gone before you hit the sand Before you hit the sand I’m not moving, am I? I’m not moving

Escape 04:38
I don’t know, I don’t know How we escape I don’t know, I don’t know How we escape Say it again, say it again Kiss, kiss, I’m coming down Say it again, say it again Kiss, kiss, I’m coming down Don’t forget the old world A deadly sun, your favorite girl From the sky the end’s descending Now we own this parade, occasioned to like it Watch my eyes, Watch my eyes sing, You lean in, and I lean in too, There’s no end to what I feel for you I’m a stranger, so they tell me... I don’t know, I don’t know How we escape Memories of unmoveable things We all live under water

Execution 04:58
Tell your rain the next one’s on me I’ve got the smallest smile I can choke reality Pavement rolls for miles Birthday wishes, Judas kisses Your brother’s dancing backwards He drowned us thin in thin water I’d still like to be your fucking angel We’ve each got fingerprints to trace He’s got a way with words... The monster’s standing next to you Hey kid you sold that man your soul Hey kid you should have known I’d kill whatever’s after you Ahhh... This game is getting sicker now

Wicked Girls 04:40
Sell me your castle in the air. Tell me what I want to hear. The world can’t say no for you. Bite your tongue until there’s blood. All I do is run like hell in place. All these lonely girls never grow tired of the chase. I’ll keep on selling out my health. Spending all my wealth trying to convince myself That I am really here. You made me a bitter man. I could stand to take a stand. Cunning never helps when you’re alone. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some thoughts to call your own? All I do is run like hell in place. All these lonely girls never grow tired of the chase. I’ll keep on working on myself, Make you proud to say you’ve known me all these years. Come and find me here.

Treeline 07:35
There is an infinite sea Beyond every tree line Don’t fear death across the street I know how she vanished in her sleep Taking drugs Made in heaven... We made it (taking drugs) Desert full of liars She’s a mirror for your better parts The glamour’s off She traded a relic for her filthy heart... ...I’ll keep it... …Won’t see it...

FTDE 05:59
I fell fast, half-way to sleep Up above me, A face hung on a string: A balloon I fell fast, in love with you, In a swoon. Won’t fall back, won’t be consumed By the moon. At times beset by sluggish blood And lightning nerves. I see the shape. I learn the curves: A loss for words. Bewildered by the speed I fly From the dead eye. Won’t quit until I walk through The needle’s eye.

Wake up, just wake up You’re inside Make up your bed This is no place to hide Start your car And drive Go on and make up your mind No one is there who can take away time If it’s a thought of mine You can sell it back and I’ll meet you On the other side There is a piece of heaven Between everyone It’s what you miss When they’re gone If it weren’t for life than love would never be wrong Can you put your arms ‘round the sun Could I really be the only one There’s nothing underneath this shade. At the height, it starts to fade Oh what an edge to loving you. I never walked away, I flew.

Fever 102º 04:10
You say the word I’ll be there Call if you want to I get so cold Here waiting Call if you want to Did you think the coast would be clear forever And you would find the earth was still Your soul is there beneath where you left it The moon is right behind my.... Silhouette I’m hiding Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not afraid To be plain So call if you want to Did you think the coast would be clear forever And you would find the earth was still Your soul is there beneath where you left it The mood is right, leave behind your eyes ...Call if you want to, ahh Talk me down— I got a fever Did you think the coast would be clear forever And you would find the earth was still Your soul is there beneath where you left it The mood is right, leave behind your eyes

Jellyfish 05:23
I felt so innocent I felt so wild next to you I could see right through your body Lavender and gold, electric blue Electric blue We can do what we do For ourselves For each other. Your body will keep me near. We will come apart together. Over the surface of the ocean Silver rings hang in the dark. I felt so wild; First witness to the high That couldn't be higher. That couldn't be higher. We can do what we do For ourselves For each other. Your body will keep me near. We will come apart together. A joy to be sad and blue But you believed in it, didn't you?

Pollen 05:55
Don’t mix up ocean water with her thoughts She’s a born drifter Haven’t touched solid earth in seven years Why don’t you turn and face her Stand up straight, and she won’t go until you come You know how to get there To be so bright, isolation is the price Now tomorrow’s with you So much time has come and gone since you turned Into a fox, I’m helpless Space is vast and I’ve murder on my mind. Will you help me shake it?

about

strangewave Ohio

strangewave emerged when two Ohio songwriters, J. Trenton Crace and Katrina Eresman, blended their complementary styles. The result is a collection of rock-n-roll songs drawn up lean and thoughtful, like a singer-songwriter would do, with the melody and mood of a dream pop band. With their imagination in full bloom, the duo turns each song its own strange world. ... more
