about

You can really hear some of the artifacts left from trying to cancel out the excess noise in the old samples. I really think stuff like that adds character! Never leave something out for its lack of fidelity.

lyrics

Lottie: (Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.)

Skye: Marvin walked into a helpless land and wondered lightly, "Am I happy? Is this happy?"

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: Following the footsteps left by man, he stepped to reprimand the mystic...

Skye: ... who's sadistic.

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: Took a step into the elevator who said, "Guess I'll see you later, don't you worry."

Skye: "Don't you worry..."
Fifteen flights that lasted nights and days that spent without a cent for creatures with their beat shirts.
-- Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill--

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: (Light on top forgot--)

Zoë: One fine day, love came for me.
And love was rare.
Why can't we see?

Skye: Next, the stranded senate of the white brick house with flowers asked some questions for their story.

Skye: All feeling now, he took his bow and left the stage of time with no answers to no questions.
Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling to implode them before living

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: (--plode them--)

Angelica: (See, certain songs are connected to certain moments.
And all songs, like moments, are connected.
Just one measure of the right song could lead your entire life.)

Skye: ... sign... said, "Now take your place in line for happy..."

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: "... this is lovely."

Skye: -- Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill--

Zoë & Skye: The actor with his world renowned was thinking 'bout his last real day of silence. Was it over?



Zoë & Skye: Or is it just we all think that our answer isn't real it's just a picture of a letter.

Jack: (backwards gibberish)

Zoë & Skye: Bumble mumble, make YOUR rounds. No matter what, you'll seem profound. It's useless just to worry.
(Don't you worry. [played backwards])
Something normal happens somewhere far away in clouds, so please stop thinking...

Andrew: (HELP.)

Skye: ... this is happy.
(Is this happy? [played backwards])

Skye: -- Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill-- [sung backwards]

Skye: One secondary smile...

Rey' & Skye Archival Footage: To go that extra mile.
To make me feel today...

Skye: To make it go away.
The chemistry is gone.
Taken for a ride,
Far away from you...

Skye: No longer left inside.

My Family: One secondary smile
To go that extra mile.
To make me feel today,
To make it go away.
The chemistry is gone.
Taken for a ride,
Far away from you,
No longer left inside.

(Ooh, that's so GOOD!
I forgot, I forgot to...
I'm so sorry, I accidentally did Dad's the entire time.
Let's try it a diff--)

Skye: There're no secrets in the door.
Just a moment doing chores.

Eileen: (Don't look so sad.)

Skye: And there's something,
And there's something,
And there's something,
And there's something,
Next to nothing, and there...

Skye: ... are no secrets in the door.
Just a moment doing chores.
And there's something,
And there's something,
And there's something,
And there's something.
Next to nothing,
And there's something,
And there's something,
But you're gone.

Zoë: (Our lives are made in these small hours,
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
--[won]der[s]--[ma]de-- twists and turns of fate -- der--[aw]ay
Time falls away, --[lett]er-- but these small hours, (time falls away)
er-- these small hours still remain.)

Skye: (Something normal happens somewhere
Something normal happens somewhere
Something normal happens somewhere
Something normal happens somewhere
Something normal happens somewhere
Some...)

Skye: Wait a minute, that was ME in your group, are you telling me that I messed you up?

Leena: Uh, yeah, why are you making it all about you?

Skye: So really what you’re saying is that the only time you failed at something, it was my fault.

Leena: Well yeah, it IS your fault. You’re just going to have to deal with it, you jerk.

Skye: It's not my fault when people can’t appreciate me.

Leena: You can’t say that! You have no idea how hard my life is!

Skye: You’re right, I don’t, and I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry!
I will never be able to understand how hard your life is, and I wish I could, because you deserve that.

Rachael: You know, to really graduate...

Andrew: (Is it...)

Rachael: ... You have to start up here.

Andrew: (... a place?)
