Try Me 03:57
lyrics

Try me, try me, try me, try Try me, try me, try me, try This is hard for me to say, but it's been harder to build up The courage for me to accept the things that have come to pass You're gonna have to wrap your head around the concept that maybe, that maybe you're in the wrong You've threatened my life and my lifeline so many times You've kicked me out into the cold of night without explanation without time or patience, what a fine ovation And why should you? You've always been the right one never the kind one, I can't fathom why I tolerated this But at least I know I'm stronger than the boy I was before you came along I'm insecure but I know to shut the voices out (when they get too loud) I'm holding onto the shred of evidence that love and romance are still alive and well in me But just not for you Try me, try me, try me, try Try me, try me, try me, try This prodigal son won't be returning I'll throw myself onto this haven I found They're not just some other body to hold some other mind to mould I know that they're gonna suffer because of what you did to me, but I know that they're more than a lover because they'll understand that I'm as broken as everyone You took from me, my virgin sanity that look in your eyes belied your brutal identity the safety I found in ignorance for just how evil a human could be, the sadistic dogma you perpetrated on me I'm stronger than the boy I was before you came along I'm insecure but I know to shut the voices out (when they get too loud) I'm holding onto the shred of evidence that love and romance are still alive and well in me But just not for you Try me, try me, try me, try Try me, try me, try me, try

Shine 06:07
lyrics

Your silhouette moves through the night Guarding the dreams of sleepers The ghostly shape of the softest light (ah) I chase the dark, reaching past the veil Hands outstretched, I'm stumbling Knowing that I can never fail So long as you are with me I know that you'll never let me fail Cos when you shine Radiant, illuminate my eyes again, without you I'm a blind man, I can't erase the feeling and you're just so unforgettable, you've made my walls so breakable, I wish we'd had more time before the sky fell down into the core The dawn is like a nightmare now Fleeting thoughts, fleeing the fire I'm torn away, I cannot lay back down (ah) The rain is always fraught with hail Hammering the ceiling Thunder cracks through the air impaled I'm safe because you're with me Alone I know I can't prevail Cos when you shine Radiant, illuminate my eyes again, without you I'm a blind man, I can't erase the feeling and you're just so unforgettable, you've made my walls so breakable, I wish we'd had more time before the sky fell down into the core

Magnetic Attraction 05:18
lyrics

The sight of you across the room excites me My knees shake, my soul quakes because you delight me A karmic trace of a warm embrace overwhelms you, don't deny it More than words, a feeling of love overtakes you, your mind's supplied it Like the sea to the sky How the moon makes the waves This destined night that we've met, unstoppable Magnetic attraction Like the heat in our veins How a spark makes a flame The burning fire in our eyes, insatiable Magnetic attraction I can't wait to leave this place Gotta call a cab my heart's a-racin' You got me locked in a time n space With your eyes, your smile, and the rest of your face Now we're rolling in gold and we're escapin the cold and you're breaking the mould of a heart black as coal The road to your home makes my mind even bolder, the lights turn down low as your clothes come off slower Like the sea to the sky How the moon makes the waves This destined night that we've met, unstoppable Magnetic attraction Like the heat in our veins How a spark makes a flame The burning fire in our eyes, insatiable Magnetic attraction The sight of you across the room excites me My knees shake, my soul quakes because you delight me A karmic trace of a warm embrace overwhelms you, don't deny it More than words, a feeling of love overtakes you, your mind's supplied it Like the sea to the sky How the moon makes the waves This destined night that we've met, unstoppable Magnetic attraction Like the heat in our veins How a spark makes a flame The burning fire in our eyes, insatiable Magnetic attraction

Used to walk these streets alone Watching the people pass me by, how far I'd roam Didn't know what I was looking for, but finally you turned and spoke, so kind and beautiful Can't catch my breath, I'm losing my mind The pressure's building inside have to Let it out let it out now, let it out before you go I gotta put it on the line and find out if you feel About me the same I feel for you Gonna turn it up and kick it like we're back in 1992 Solo! Can't catch my breath, I'm losing my mind The pressure's building inside have to Let it out let it out now, let it out before you go I gotta put it on the line and find out if you feel About me the same I feel for you Gonna turn it up and kick it like we're back in 1992 I'm waiting by the phone, asking myself When you gonna write back? I'm right here, I'm hoping for a miracle, I feel it like a fire burning deep inside of me This ain't a mirror to my inability to conversate, just gotta find the words and then express them in a way that you'll understand that this is real, that it's as real as it gets; that this is real, that it's as real as it ever gets, baby I gotta put it on the line and find out if you feel About me the same I feel for you Gonna turn it up and kick it like we're back in 1992 Like it's 1992 Like it's 1992

about

Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival, whereupon even slaves were freed for celebration, and all were permitted to indulge in all forms of merriment - in a culmination of Van Leucia's influences up until now, this EP is a celebration of freedom in making music
