when I'm with you, girl you make me lose my mind and I must admit, I wanna follow you home and leave everything behind when these modern times are really gettin to me I don't worry too much, cuz I know You'll show me what it all means when I'm with you, girl you make me lose my mind I don't worry too much, cuz I know you'll make everything alright everything is alright
2.
don't try to talk to me the only words I speak are imaginary and don't try to hear me out cuz my ears are tuned to a different frequency I don't live in the real world all that I experience is a fantasy if you wanna come with me I can take you away to a place where nothing happens don't look into my eyes cuz my eyes are mirrors and they will only reflect what you try to read into me and my emotions, which you cannot detect don't try to be my friend cuz I am only gonna hurt you in the end I don't love in the real world, honey
3.
well I don't know how to say this gracefully but girl you scare the shit out of me my hands start shakin when you come around my ears start ringin when you make a sound my heart starts racin when you come my way there's nothin else to say all I wanna do is run away I'm sure you're a sweet and innocent soul but girl, I'm not shakin just because of the cold now, please don't take this personally it sound cliche but it's not you, it's me my vision gets blurry when you come my way there's nothin else to say all I wanna do is run away
4.
I'm not good at sayin hello I'm not good at sayin hello I'm even worse at sayin goodbye can't even wave to the world as it passes me by are we at war again? or is this oblivion? the writing on the wall is written in a language that I can't read it's obvious to everyone but me I can't see the forest for the fuckin trees oh, i'm sorry were you talkin to me? I'm so sorry were you talkin to me? you will never be quite as aloof as me
5.
you say you know so many things but I know one thing that you know nothin about just take a look in the mirror and maybe you'll find out because the thing is, you and me we're not as close as you believe us to be and I'm sure you're very well-intentioned but you really don't know me don't start no conversation with me my attention is gone it's plain to see you might as well be talkin to a dead tree
6.
every day, I see your face across the table I feel an unconditional love that feels so stable but I know everything here in this scene is fleeting from that look in your eye to your precious heart beating the end of things is always weighin on my mind how we all just disappear and leave nothing but dust behind and while I don't wanna watch your heart turn into sand I don't wanna leave the comfort of your precious little hands we can set our clocks for the end of time I don't mind, I don't mind but I think I'm gonna close my eyes cuz I don't wanna have to see you as you go and I don't wanna be the one just waiting for it all to disappear but I could wait a lifetime, honey just as long as I have you here but I know I'm gonna lose you

Elephants 05:09
I know it's not right it doesn't make sense my friends have all left me in a cage with the elephants and I'll always let em trample me oh no, wouldn't stop em if I could I'm mr. nice guy I can't catch a break got 54 favors it's more than I can take some people like it the taste of pain I don't know if I know any other way to feel trample me oh no, wouldn't stop em if I could
8.
sittin around at home there is no place that I'm goin to go but I wanna go everywhere I just don't know how to get there I can run (but I cannot hide) from this restless feelin (buildin up inside) searchin for somethin (that I cannot find) I guess I can't be satisfied I'm not content to be alone but other people make me wanna go jump off the Sherman maybe I need a sermon? I don't think so it's not that I (don't have the drive) but the motivation ('s what I cannot find) I can run (but I cannot hide) I guess I can't be satisfied
9.
Lightyears 03:26
I don't remember when I ceased to exist I'm lightyears away from me now nothin ever stays the same suppose it's a shame I'm lightyears away from me now I, I'm lookin down from my head to the ground and I'm lightyears away from me now memories that look like dreams so what's it all mean? I'm lightyears away from me now it's hard it's hard to let go surrender to the flow but I'm lightyears away from me now
10.
I wanna go some place where the sun never shines I wanna go some place where it's dark all of the time I wanna go some place where nobody knows my name I wanna go some place where there's nothin the same I wish that I could hold the night sky in my arms cuz when I'm layin down in my bed nobody can touch me nobody can bother me, bother me well, everyday from four until late I have to weep I can't wait for the sun to go back to sleep
11.
Amygdala 02:28
I need a little therapy you know exactly what I mean I need a little therapy to set my worried mind at ease so come on, babe why don't you come and talk to me? I could use a little company the kind that everybody needs I could use a little company to feel a little less lonely so come on, babe why don't you come and talk to me? I'm lookin for sympathy or maybe somethin good to eat the glow of your empathy will put me back on my feet so come on, babe why don't you come and talk to me? oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah come on, babe why don't you come and talk to me?
12.
I see a million shades of red and a million people dead (and a man on the sidewalk dead) at the big show inside my head I saw a million shades of red I'm not the one to blame, I got bad chemicals in my brain see, it's not that I'm not ashamed but I'm not the one to blame I didn't mean to kill that man I got loose wires in my hands (I got his blood all over my hands) officer, you gotta understand I didn't mean to kill that man at the big show inside my head I saw a million shades of red I'll try to tell you what the voices said (it could've been just somethin I read) at the big show inside my head bad chemicals made me do it doctor, can you see me thru this? bad chemicals made me do it

about

"Garage rock with Midwestern grit, the sound produced by the local trio Dead Tree Leaves thrives on bottling lightning--their ominous drive and explosive tendencies make them bounce from barely contained to pleasantly unhinged. Like the White Stripes or The Stooges before them, Dead Tree Leaves uses the blues to steer the ship, while slightly experimenting with psychedelia and flirting with the edges of metal. While a lot of indie bands around the country are fixated on being cool and dreamy or fuzzing and grungy, these guys are blasting out something much more unfiltered."
- Scott Recker, LEO Weekly (he meant to say Models)
