Out under moonlit sky
There's nowhere to hide
From all that we're feeling
Out where the roadway ends
And silence begins
The empire's burning
And in the night on which we find we're all alone
We try to run and we stumble
And though we'd like to think we're fighters made of stone
We fall apart and we crumble
Like shattered bones
Like shattered bones
Out where the angels fly
Our stars will collide
With promises broken
Out far away from here
Our words disappear
Forever unspoken
And in the night on which we find we're all alone
We try to run and we stumble
And though we'd like to think the future's set in stone
It falls apart and it crumbles
Like shattered bones
Like shattered bones
And though we'd like to think we're fighters made of stone
We fall apart and we crumble
Like shattered bones
Like shattered bones
We fall apart and we crumble
Like shattered bones
We fall apart and we crumble
Like shattered bones
We fall apart and we crumble
Like shattered bones

Slipped
05:15

Walking on broken glass
Lost in a dark room
Trying to find you
Boxes of photographs
Pictures and postcards
Places I saw you last
(You last)
I don't know how to get to you tonight
Reverse the orbit of the earth
And try to turn back time
But there's some things we can never know
The door has closed on why
And though it hurts to let you go
Our time has slipped on by
Our time has slipped on by
Sleeping as water falls
Onto the roof top
Dreaming it won't stop
We lived inside these walls
Damaged and broken
Nothing has changed at all
(At all)
I don't know how to get to you tonight
Reverse the orbit of the earth
And try to turn back time
But there's some things we can never know
The door has closed on why
And though it hurts to let you go
Our time has slipped on by
Our time has slipped on by
Oooooh I
I'm staring at your photograph
But oh, those eyes
Tonight they leave me cold
Oooooh I
I'm drowning in the aftermath
Of why oh why
Why did you have to go
I don't know how to get to you tonight
Reverse the orbit of the earth
And try to turn back time
But there's some things we can never know
The door has closed on why
And though it hurts to let you go
Our time has slipped on by
Our time has slipped on by
Our time has slipped on by
Our time has slipped on by

Tonight we're holding onto time
We're chasing heaven
A hidden Siam light
Becomes obsession
Don't want to let you go
Until we both find
A silhouetted glow
A beauty for all time
Don't waste no more time
I can't believe my eyes
Can't believe my eyes
Your heavenly outline
And I know how we get when the sun has fallen
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
But we'll live with regret if we don't jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
There's a glow, a duet, and the water's calling
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
And we'll never forget if we don't jump in
Tonight I'm holding on so tight
To my confession
Defined by hidden light
You're my obsession
Don't want to let you go
Until we both drown
In silhouetted glow
In beauty that we've found
Don't waste no more time
I can't believe my eyes
Can't believe my eyes
Your heavenly outline
And I know how we get when the sun has fallen
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
But we'll live with regret if we don't jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
There's a glow, a duet, and the water's calling
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
And we'll never forget if we don't jump in
Don't waste no more time
I can't believe my eyes
Can't believe my eyes
Your heavenly outline
And I know how we get when the sun has fallen
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
But we'll live with regret if we don't jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
There's a glow, a duet, and the water's calling
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
And we'll never forget if we don't jump in
Jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
Jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
Jump in
(We're shining like we're moonlight)
Jump in

The Undertow
05:30
|
|||
|
Struggle and fight against the undertow
Searching the sky for all we know
Turn on the light to find the solid gold
It's how it goes
It's always so
Oh, I've been waiting here for you
Oh, for a melody in blue
In a moment of silence
By the light of the moon
On the shoulders of giants
I surrender to you
Struggle and fight in fading afterglow
Searching for sounds you've always known
Swallow the light to run on liquid gold
The story's old
It's always so
Oh, I've been waiting here for you
Oh, for a melody in blue
In a moment of silence
By the light of the moon
On the shoulders of giants
I surrender to you
(It's better than standing on the cheesy fucking thing
Know what I mean?
I mean, tossing all these Satellites and
Shuttles out into the Cosmos
What do they think they're going to find up there
That they can't find down here
Do they think that if they piss high enough
They're going to come across the monkey with the beard
And the crap ideas
And it's like "Ah! There you are captain
I mean, are you busy
Because I have a few
Fundamental questions for you!")
Struggle and fight against the undertow
Searching the sky for all that glows
Follow the light to find the hidden gold
It's how it goes
It's always so
Oh, I've been waiting here for you
Oh, for a melody in blue
In a moment of silence
By the light of the moon
On the shoulders of giants
I surrender to you
I surrender to you
It was always so
It was always so
I surrender to you
It was always so
It was always so
I surrender to you
It was always so
It was always so
I surrender to you

The Fray
03:47
|

|
Out of the fray
Under a dark and windless sky
Show me the way
You be the moon, I'll be the tide
I'm down on my knees
Just filling the nights with empty time
I'm willing to bleed
To find
The distant shore we left behind
So here I kneel before you
A broken man, a broken lens
I need to heal inside you Inside the light that never ends
Out of the fray
Adrift on a dark and waveless sea
Show me the way
Could it be you that rescues me?
I'm down on my knees
You're pulling me up from depths below
I'm willing to bleed
To know
The air that's kissed by luna glow
So here I kneel before you
A broken man, a broken lens
I need to heal inside you Inside the light that never ends
So here I kneel before you
A broken man, a broken lens
I need to heal inside you
Inside the light that never ends
It never ends
It never ends
It never ends
It never ends

Don't Let Go
04:24
|
|||
|
When there's nowhere left to go
And the night has left you hollow
I could be something to hold
'Til the sun comes up tomorrow
And it's all so hard I know
But don't let go
But don't let go
It's all so dark I know
But don't let go
No don't let go
When there's nothing left to do
When there's no clear path to follow
I could be a light for you
Through the night into tomorrow
And it's all so hard I know
But don't let go
But don't let go
It's all so dark I know
But don't let go
No don't let go
When you find you've lost control
In the dark of night, in your soul
There's something you should know
We'll carry on my dear so take hold
And never let me go
Never let me go
And it's all so hard I know
(Don't ever let me go)
But don't let go
(Just take hold)
No don't let go
(Just take hold)
It's all so dark I know
(Don't ever let me go)
But don't let go
(Just take hold)
Don't let go
(Just take hold)
Don't let go
(Just take hold)
But don't let go

VH x RR Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
VH x RR was founded in 2016 by Von Hertzog and Rob Rowe. Hertzog reached out to Rowe on Twitter and essentially cold-called him to see if they could work together. Since then, despite working on their third EP together, the two have still not met in person. Hertzog works in his home studio outside Philadelphia and Rowe works out of his home studio in Seattle. ... more
