LIVE VOL. 2 - OUT NOW

I think a lot of things lead up to us making this record. Maybe we finally allowed ourselves to musically reflect our years in Berlin, moments in dark nightclubs flying high. We wanted to transport people into the club with us. Into the tense, faceless, euphoric world that can present itself in the right environment with the right repetition of the right chords and rhythms. Transcendence. When people stop thinking and just feel, just move. That deep escape.

Beforehand we had many months touring the world, playing festivals and headline shows. Trying to make a crowd move. We felt a pull towards dance music so we started to sneak more of these long repetitious tangents into our set. On the last tour in Europe half of the set was a rave and the other half was the more traditional songs. We didn’t feel like we could go much further with it at our concerts though, especially the bigger ones. It was already divisive amongst our fans and for this dance stuff to work we really needed the whole crowd to take the trip with us and to let go. So we figured for ‘Live Vol. 2’, why not go all the way there! Here was an opportunity to rent a small club, to take away the name Parcels, and all the expectations that come with it, and just have a hot room full of people dancing.

The previous year on the road was like training, learning to enter these long semi-improvised dance sections, learning how to communicate with each other and how to keep a crowd on their toes. Every night we honed in closer on new, rearranged versions of Parcels songs. ‘Live Vol. 2’ was where we would really let loose and drive it home. We would play for 2 hours, just dance music.

And it was an experiment, a risk, because we’d never done it so purely before.

Lyrics

Allaround

I sleep to dawn.
You and I, I recall
So I might adore a timed arrival

Try re-report
every line, every wall. 
So I might adore a timed arrival. 

You wanted us to be
You wanted all alone
You didn't have to leave
You didn't have to go. 

Why wait a while 
when the woe won't resign?
I'll wait in line at the border. 

So spy, waste your time,
make a show of what you find.
I'll just wait in line at the border. 

You wanted us to be
You wanted all alone
You didn't have to leave
You didn't have to go. 

Anotherclock

Stop, you're giving it
I'm not getting it.
Stop I'm not getting it.
Another clock, its upsetting it,
Its upsetting my soul.
Oh I want back again.
But I don't mind,
I'm not taking on.
Luck, it gets imminent.
Fuck, I'm not digging it.,
I'm not getting it wrong.

Time will wait for you
When its all been done
But we're all too young.
The time we've taken to
Let it all be done
Has an open sum.
Time will wait for you.

You're not fitting it,
You're just kicking in doors.
Show a little remorse.
Now you're not wishing it,
There's no wishing it was.
You don't listen no more.

Time will wait for you
When its all been done
But we're all too young.
The time we've take to
Let it all be done
Hasn't opened some.
Time will wait for you...

Bemyself

I know that I can't be a few,
I'll be myself
I'm told to be over the moon,
I can teach myself
But I'm old, I can feel that it's true
I believe myself
And I know it'll be over soon,
I can see myself

See myself

I'm trapped, I am trapped in the boot
I can't free myself
And I'll talk, but you know there's no use
I can't hear myself
The road's blocked, I can tell that we've stopped
I will lead myself
And I know if I'm moving or not
I will be myself

Be myself.

Clockscared

I never want to be
stuck there, nowhere,
I'm caught
and I don't want to be.
Locked there, upstairs,
no more.

So I got to go, got to get it out now.
Undertow, undertaking, over doubt.
Got to go, got to get it out now.

I never want to be
stuck there,nowhere,
I'm caught.
Its better not to be
clock scared
than off tier, no more.

Its better not to be
stuck there, nowhere,
no course.
better not to be
clock scared
than off tier, no more.

So I got to go, got to get it out now.
Undertow, under, taking over doubt.
Got to go, got to get it out now.

Got to go, got to get it out now.
Undertow, undertaking, over doubt.
Got to go, got to get it out now.

Closetowhy

All that waiting for a call, It arrived,
and I know that place seems kind of close

But I can't sleep,
I can't seem to find waking peace of mind.

The fight of the evening
holds me close to why
I might never sleep at all,
even though I can't seem to find waking peace of mind.

Some might say my life's a walk in the light,
and though I'd say the same, I don't
Cause all that space inside the walls, it's alive,
and all night shaking my resolve

So I can't sleep,
I can't seem to find waking peace of mind.

Comedown

No, no, no, no, no
When it all comes down
When it falls you can finda way out
When it all hits the ground 

Come down 
When it's gone you can cry,
let it go and try
When it all comes down 
Come down

Comingback

Is anyone out here,
Out on their own?
Is anyone listening now,
Out on the road?
This year's
Been out of control.
Persevere
Till we find our way home.

You know
you just gotta keep coming back,
keep coming back for more and more.
You know
it's so far better.
Just gotta keep on track,
keep coming back for more and more.

If anyone's out here
Looking for hope,
If anyone gives a damn
I want you to know
I'm here,
You're never alone.
Persevere
Till you find your way back home.

Everyroad

All of the ghosts, people you love,
even your friends don't want to know,
but you can depend on every note
over the end of every road.

Exotica

Your look
How it draws me in, a line I could never leave
Your eyes
Now I meet with them, it's all that I'll ever see
Your love
How I breath in it, it's all I would ever need
I believe in it,
It's all I could ever need.

Oh mon amour, when you walk out the door I'm more lost than before

And every night is another
Every night is another war
Lying alone but I love ya
I'll never rewind what I never

Above
How I see it is. You will get a hold of it
The height
Heavens you design, in time you'll do everything
Goodbye
What I hear of it while I'm over on the other wing
While I'm over on the other wing.

Oh mon amour, when you walk out the door I'm more lost than before

And every night is another
Every night is another war
Lying alone but I love ya
I'll never rewind what I never saw.

Every night is another

FAMOUS

Don’t go thinking why
You’re living a lie
Now there’s a lot to earn
Dead or alive
(Alive, Alive)
They told you what you want
You never decide
(It’s decided)
Just hold on and you might

Be famous
Your way to paradise
Be famous
Your way to all delight
Just taste it
Just taste the sugar high
Just taste it

You don’t go thinking life
Had ever been kind
You found there’s a lot to burn
You let it collide
(Collide, Collide)
You just threw in the dice
And let em decide
(It’s decided)
But now you’re thinking why

You’re famous
Your way to paradise
You’re famous
Your way to all delight
But you’re tasteless
Cause taste don’t feed your high
Cause you’ve made it

Free

We’ve been enough, we’ve seen enough
We’ve lived it up and had to stop
We’re beaten up, we’re beaten up
We’re beaten up and had it tough
Im near enough, your near enough
We’re at the point of giving up
We’re giving up, We’re given up, We’re giving up

I’m deep in love
Is it all that kind?
To leave a love for a new taste
The scene of us
With an old point of view
I need a lot
But never really knew

I feel this need
To be free
Can we feel
And be real

I need your love
But can I breath this time?
Cause I see your love in a new way
Am I deep enough
To see through you

I feel this need to be free
Can we feel and be real?
I feel this need to be free
Can we feel and be free?

I’m clearin up, I’m clearin up
I’m clearer to what happens but
I’m giving up, I’m giving up
I’m giving up and now it’s time for me
To love, me to love
Once you see the need to love

A deeper love, a deeper love, a deeper love

Gamesofluck

You sowed it slower to find your man,
but folding over won't hide your hand.

'cause you waited long enough,
hesitated over love
now you're taking over us.

'cause you waited long enough,
hesitated over love
now you're taking over.

I can't just believe it, I can not receive that.

The strongest shoulder won't hold you up
and cold October won't call your bluff.

'cause you make it dangerous
when you're playing games of luck,
now you're taking over us.

'cause you make it dangerous
when you're playing games of luck,
now you're taking over us

Herefore

I don't want to be caught in the middle,
taking all that I thought and setting it off.
Temporal moving forward, its superficial.

But always closing doors, but a ripple.

I'm just here for, that girl.
Would I kill for? not her.

I don't want to be torn in the middle,
its deafeningly unsure, unofficial.
But silently still we talk, though a little.
When timingly is no more, but a ripple.

I'm just here for, that girl.
Would I kill for? not her.

Hideout

I close the door to all that I am.
I called a lie, I told you all I've said.
I failed even more than I understand,
it's coming out of every wall I mend.

You know that I keep my mind on
A note that I keep hiding so long
my love, so long.

'Cause you know that I keep a hide out
and all that I'm thinking about is
'Cause you know that I keep a hide out
and all that I'm thinking about is you

Time tells me more of who that I am,
I'll kneel to all that will release my hand.
I talk to the floor, I fight to pretend.
You think that I will reach a point to mend?

You know that I keep my mind on
A note thatI keep hiding
So long, my love, so long.

'Cause you know that I keep a hide out
and all that I'm thinking about is
'Cause you know that I keep a hide out
and all that I'm thinking about is you

ICALLTHISHOME

I call this home
In the dark 
Of the night
All alone
Letting time take me over
Make me colder 
To my bones 

I call this home
Take a step
Take a dive
So alone
Devil ride on my shoulder
Be my shepherd
Be my brother
Be my killer
Be my lover

Iknowhowifeel

I know how I feel right now
I know how I feel now

I know how I feel but
there's a place I need to go,
over the end of every road,
where I can feel it on my own.

I know how I feel but
where the race is all I know,
only the evening, let me go
where I can feel it on my own.

I know how you feel right now
I know how you feel now

Light

See that sun
Burning down
Morning lights
Calling out

See that sun
Don’t look down
Here it comes
Feel it now

Lightenup

Time to lighten up?
I don't plan to
Time I gave enough?
I don't plan to

Every eye is on us
Every side is on us
"Sing it with pride and promise, never cry
Never cry, but you know we like it honest,
you know that's why we bought you.
I like your style and all,
but do it right.
Do it in time."

To lighten up?
I don't plan to
Time I gave enough?
I don't plan to

I need it, I love it.
The music, the time it takes for the letter to write back.
Let it go
Let it go, cause this is the final product
Drink it a while and call us
Sell it for dimes and dollars
There you go.

LORDHENRY

Dance with me
Take me by the hand and see
We can have it all
We can fuel the fire
We can rule the world
We can go to war

Taste it all
Taking what we need and more
We can have it all

All the love
All the lies
You can have it all
Every pearl you wear
Every golden hair
You can have it all

Never age
Never die
You can have it all

Myenemy

So fired up, take a seat.
So tied up, only make believe.
All my love, take from me,
All eyes up, but nothing there to see

and what I never touch, I see
And what’ll never touch me
I would've never thought, I’d be
My enemy

Cold enough, it’s shaking me
and it's so tough just waiting patiently
So time’s up, it’s jading me
And so I must fight the time we keep

NEVERLOVED

Quiet in the darkest hour
Lies underneath the ground
Diving between the towers
Hiding from the sound

I never loved her
I’ve never loved
I never loved her

Leaving this lie
Leaving this dream
I’m leaving tonight and I can’t be seen
I’m taking the moment
Giving up my past
I’m gonna reach up for what’s gonna last

I never loved her
(All day, all night)
I’ve never loved
(Together, in fright)
I never loved her
(Everything’s, alright)
I’ve never loved
(Till we kiss goodnight)

Living so large
Living week to week
I’ve got to say I love the way it is
And baby you’re perfect
On every side
Just got a feeling I can’t deny

I never loved her
(All day, all night)
I’ve never loved
(Together, in fright)
I never loved her
(Everything’s, alright)
I’ve never loved
(Till we kiss goodnight)

NIGHTWALK

Open in silence
In the dark
On the island

Hiding in shadow
As the ground
As we walk here
No sound

Each of us mindless
We observe
In us timeless 
New world 

Our aimless
Inner child
Soft and Taintless 
Wild

NowIcaresomemore

You know I can be the kind
To hide behind little lies
To tell you I’m sorry too much
Overthink till I’m mourning
Do you see that I’m growing?

Now I care some more
Now I care some more
Now I love someone
Now I love someone

And all that I’ve kept inside 
The moment I made you cry
The way that you showed me how to touch
The way that you caught me
I know it’s a warning
I know that I’m falling

Now I care some more
Now I care some more
Now I love someone
Now I love someone

Know that I’m scared
Now I love someone
Now I love someone
Know that I’m weak
Now I love someone
Now I love someone
Know that I’ll try
Now I love someone
Now I love someone

Older

Show and you never will cover
what you own honey, what you own well
Holding it out will be tougher,
as I know honey, I know well.
The thought is fulfilling a label.
A token honey, token known.
Its fake though I know that you're able
to see it honey, I see you well.

Older. We want closure. You're holding on tight when your life is on hold. Neither. I don't. I don't want to leave you alone.

I'm talking my mind as I'm torn. On and on....

Recalling the exchanged words.
What you own honey, you own well
The past is a world of retained hurt,
as I know honey, I know well.
You wonder the reason you changed for.
A token honey, token known.
Time will escape, you can be sure
to see it honey, I see you well.

Older. We want closure. You're holding on tight when your life is on hold. Neither. I don't. I don't want to leave you alone.

I'm talking my mind as I'm torn. On and on....

Once

Once I was a man
Stronger than the shelf
Once there was a plan
But one can never tell
Once a mother’s gone
The children raise themselves

Once I was alive
Breathing in the air
Now the more I lie
The less I lose my hair
Now the road is wide
Now the people stare
Waiting open eyed
For once a meaning there

For one can see the light
Underneath the bed
For months there at a time
Believing every thread
And months would flutter by
And fears would all have fled
And it’ll all be fine
At least that’s what you said.

I want to buy a house
I want to make a stand
I want to love a girl
I want to love a man
I want to kill the past
I want to stop the sand
I want another chance
But one is all you have

But if once more I could feel
What I felt before
I’d hold it like it’s real
I’d never let it fall
I’d blow up every bridge
I’d build up every wall
And nothing could get in
But nothing could be born

And everything looks nice
Nothing is unwell
But once the fruit of god
Forever live in hell
And once you choose a side
There’s nothing left to win
And once a lover dies
You never love again

OUTSIDE

I’ve been outside
Hoping for something better
Holding my eyes
Holding myself together
And even on that island 
Heard my mother’s wedding bells
I’ve been so tired
I’ve been so tired

I’ve been alone
Walking those streets forever
Holding my phone
Wait to receive a letter
And I’m gonna see my father
Gonna ask him something else
Where did you go?

But everything’s cool here
I don’t want to ruin this party
Everybody’s cool here 
I don’t want to ruin your party

Isn’t that nice
What an old man can tell ya
Ain’t it just cruel
What your old ma remembers
I don’t want to be my father
But I don’t want to be alone
How can I hide?
How can I know?

So I’ve been alone
Writing you songs and letters
I’ve been alone
Feels like I might forever
I’ve been living on that island 
But it’s time to let it go
I’ve been so scared
I feel so alone

But everything’s cool here
I don’t want to ruin this party
Everybody’s cool here 
I don’t want to ruin your party

Overnight

Go back. I want, so bad, to hold you back.
It's all I've said and done.

Fall in, be gone. I will stand as I've won again.
The reason for no more
Overnight.

The minute I was thinking
to hold you back.
The moment I was wishing,
it's overnight.

Slow down, never. I know now, I know better.
I need it more than ever.

Go back under. Hope that I fall on the track.
It's all I've said and done
Overnight.

REFLEX

See the morning hour
Glowing just like honey
All of the clouds are born here
Ripening to a storm

Here I am in motion
Floating out to sea
Deep within all this water
I’m beginning to breath

Holding on is breaking a part of me
I lost when I went overseas
I lost when I thought you were being loved
Holding on is taking a toll on me
I lost when I thought that’s the feeling love
When that’s the feeling lust

Lean into the open
Take me to the beach
Show me a way to love this
All that is just a moment
All that can never last

Holding on is breaking a part of me
I lost when I went overseas
I lost when I thought you were being loved
Holding on is taking a toll on me
I lost when I thought that’s the feeling love
When that’s the feeling lust

SHADOW

SOMETHINGGREATER

When I met you
I was just a child
Working through
Fears of the night
Then you flew
Over to my side
And then I knew
It had always been right

To give
To love
To stay
In touch
To give
Enough
To love

Until it lasts forever
Until it lasts so long
Until we’re back together
I’ll be alone
Until it lasts forever
Until it lasts so long
Until we’re back together
I’ll be alone


Now I’m leaving you
For the both of us
To find something new
Cause were not enough
And all I can do
Is to know

That we
Could meet
Again
Sometime
When we
Could be
The end

Until it lasts forever
Until it lasts so long
Until we’re back together
I’ll be alone
Until it lasts forever

Tape

I lost my touch and I thought it was you
I lost my way cutting corners, faulty truth
So I went on my way to recapture what you took,
and I came back with tape.
Dare I leave it? Dare I look?

No way I can go wrong
It's all there
I know the end
There's no way out so so long
Oh man, not again

Do I retain yet a feeling over you?
And should I explain to the teacher? To my muse?
So I can get a break from the preacher, from a few
So I'll go on and take what I need here, wouldn't you?

THEFEAR

Another night
I want to get out
I want to get high again

Another night
Another let down
Another cold count to ten

But you and I 
We never made sense
We never had time to care

Another night
Don’t want to find out
Don’t want to define the fear

You and I 
We never made sense 
We never had time to care

Another night
Don’t want to find out
Don’t want to define the fear

THEWORSTTHING

Here I am again
Waiting for a call
This time it ain’t coming
And I know I’m gonna walk
Back to her again
Waiting for a lie
Waiting for another one
Another way to waste my time

And even though I do not care
I wish that I would have you here
I wish that I could still believe
The love that once you gave to me
And even though I am alright
I wish I didn’t see the light
The best thing I could ever find
The worst thing I would ever find

Here I am again
Looking for a line
Looking for a warmer way
Another glass of wasted wine
And yes there’s someone else
Yes I’m feeling fine
Yes, yes, never better
It’s not even on my mind

But even though I do not care
I wish that I would have you here
I wish that I could still believe
The love that once you gave to me
And even though I am alright
I wish I didn’t see the light
The best thing I could ever find
The worst thing I would ever find

Tieduprightnow

As I look out you're warning me,
your thoughts devour my point of view
(Give you up now)
It’s true I cower when I will speak,
so let's get round to why

I will be the first in line to open up,
so I don't mind to give you up.

So let’s get round to why,
The one I need is tied up right now
So let’s just wait a while,
The one I need is tied up right now
So let’s not draw the line,
Cause I can't make my mind up right now
So let’s just wait a while,
The one I need is tied up right

I will be the first in line to open up so I don't mind
I will be the first in line to open up,
so I don't mind to give you up.

So let’s get round to why,
The one I need is tied up right now
So let’s just wait a while,
The one I need is tied up right now
So let’s not draw the line,
Cause I can't make my mind up right now

So let’s just wait a while,
The one I need is tied up right

Its unintended but all in vein
It’s what I found on my side
You knew I'd pass through it’s all the same,
So let’s get down to why

The one I need is tied up right now
So let’s just wait a while,
The one I need is tied up, right?

Withorwithout

You were the world calling out my own name
You were the girl I fell beneath every day
You were the birds talking in my dream
You were the world I wish I'd never seen.

You were the line, drawn in every way
You were divine, even though I'd say
you were the start of something I don't need
You were the world I wish I'd never seen.

With or without you?
Better without you.

Said I was more than a man in your way
Said I was yours till the end of the day
There was a time when I would have been
over the moon sinking on my knees.

You were the world calling out my own name
You were the girl I fell beneath every day
You were the birds talking in my dream
You were the world I wish I'd never seen.

Yourfault

I
I built a wall, I built it up when I was young
I didn't know, how could I know I built it up?

It's all gone
The family has moved on and I don't know if it's your fault or my fault
It's all gone
I know it now that I did wrong, but I don't know if it's your fault or my fault.

You
You took a loan, you bought a house and built it up
I'm sure you know I felt alone. I couldn't stop

It's all gone
The family has moved on and I don't know if it's your fault or my fault
It's all gone
I know it now that I did wrong, but I don't know if it's your fault or my fault

It's your fault.
