1.	In Real Life 03:45	lyrics	buy track
IRL by Parallels Powerlines all running wild through me in the light of a digital dream couldn't help how I felt so alone till I found your face on my phone it was midnight my time we were wasted and online it's how we play modern love it makes it hard to fuck it up If you got close to me, closer than through this screen standing eye to eye, would it be true in real life? Would it be true? Fell asleep in the light of our blue dream felt nice to hear you breathe in the end we press escape but I wanted to stay It could mean so much cause nothing compares to the weight of blood, the weight of your human touch maybe I'm wrong to believe but I see myself surrounded by your things If you got close to me, closer than through this screen standing eye to eye, would it be true in real life? {{ In real life }} Would it be true? I could feel your touch Would it be true? I could feel your heart In real life? I could feel...heart {{real life}} If you got close to me, closer than through this screen standing eye to eye, would it be true in real life?
2.	Civilization 04:00	lyrics	buy track
CIVILIZATION still, time stood for me to show we needed sympathy i understand better from a distance, we were only lost we were blue like the veins running rivers down your face we'll carry on in civilization the skyline in the night had never looked so real strangers in a city dead for dreamers idling satellites, looking in where do we belong, without a place in civilization? where do we belong, without a place in civilization? midnight wrapped around me i felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets in shadows lie, turn to face reflections to feel not so alone we never choose these battles in isolation, they're never won so carry on in civilization the skyline in the night had never looked so real strangers in a city dead for dreamers idling satellites, looking in where do we belong, without a place in civilization? where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
3.	Technicolor 04:06	lyrics	buy track
TECHNICOLOR When I was seventeen Faded by illusion Wide-eyed renegade On and On and On Went our nights away from home We colored red our true emotions We are technicolor Grime and glamour How we turn our heads to take a picture And be who we are We bruised our summer skin I show my scars to seasonal friends Saved for you and me The cracks in the ceiling On and on and on Every day turned into one One photograph to stay forever young We are technicolor Grime and glamour How we turn our heads to take a picture And be who we are On and on and on Yeah, until we're dead and gone We'll be who we are We are technicolor Grime and glamour How we turn our heads to take a picture And be who we are Nights are long Think of me Renegade, how we used to be Now, fall into your dreams
4.	The Kids Will Save Detroit 03:40	lyrics	buy track
The Kids Will Save Detroit By Parallels Kicking us out around dawn the cops came to say our time was up we just wanted to keep what was left had our hands reaching out for that one silver bullet I love the city the river bleeds royal blood all around, beautiful ruins brought to dust let the beat go on In god we trust so don't lose faith in us my mama always said the kids will save Detroit I had taken the longer way home to hear the plaza hart's sweet sounds it's a place I had felt I belonged the rhythms soul heals a strangers heart this city haunts me the vacant lots once so strong call it home, feel it breathing if you listen close, you'll hear the beat go on In god we trust so don't lose faith in us my mama always said the kids will save Detroit The city, it haunts me Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on Detroit city, her beat goes on and on and on In god we trust so don't lose faith in us my mama always said the kids will save Detroit
5.	Age of Consent 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Won't you please let me go These words lie inside they hurt me so And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do I'm not the kind that needs to tell you Just what you want me to I saw you this morning I thought that you might like to know I received your message in full a few days ago I understood every word that it said And now that I've actually heard it You're going to regret And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what you want me to You're not the kind that needs to tell me About the birds and the bees Do you find this happens all the time Crucial point one day becomes a crime And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do I'm not the kind that needs to tell you I've lost you [x5] I've lost you [x5]

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old. solstra
