Control
04:21

slowing down fading out the voices that told me that everything would be fine, and this is how you live your life, and make the right choices soon
and settle down in to this too.
this is why i keep my head down low i had to figure out why i lost control when everything is gone ill start to see the ins and outs of sinking
finding out my cries were loud you should have told me i wouldn't have burdened you with things that pretend to matter that much to the ones that you hold onto and i don't want to hear one goddamn thing from you
this is why i keep my head down low i had to figure out why i lost control when everything is gone ill start to see the ins and outs of sinking
for our time i saw the signs they reached out to me and what i had to be
this is why i keep my head down low i had to figure out why i lost control when everything is gone ill start to see the ins and outs of sinking

Try Again

i laughed when you were leaving you looked down on me you censored all your feelings ignoring all my pleas why didn't i speak up more you knew nothing would change what are you waiting for?
please try again this makes no sense i can't trust you to make amends to save all we've paid all your excuses won't change a thing
i stared through all your promises you didn't seem to blink and you weren't good at answering questions and i was never one for questioning
why didn't i speak up more you knew nothing would change what are you waiting for?
please try again this makes no sense i can't trust you to make amends to save all we've paid all your excuses won't change a thing
I've come unwound when your not around I've come to terms with you sitting out and i bet you hear when I'm crying now we both lost trust in this working out
please try again this makes no sense i can't trust you to make amends to save all we've paid all your excuses won't change a thing

Nothing
03:30

all I've had id give to you but i don't know what else to do it seems to me you've said your peace but your not one for compromising. you've seen my face you've seen my clothes, you've seen me naked we've been that close, I'm sure I've felt alone before but I can't see you anymore.
because theres nothing more to say you don't want me and I can't change theres nothing more to say we've balled it all up and thrown it all away, theres nothing more to say.
I've held you close for nights on end, and you tell me theres no relationship, i've given every inch of myself, but you'd rather move on to somebody else.
because theres nothing more to say you don't want me and I can't change theres nothing more to say we've balled it all up and thrown it all away, theres nothing more to say.
I've fallen down with every promise and you can't tell what makes this honest, and you don't feel a single tear, cuz your not left alone here.
because theres nothing more to say you don't want me and I can't change theres nothing more to say we've balled it all up and thrown it all away, theres nothing more to say.
because theres nothing more to say you don't want me and I can't change theres nothing more to say we've balled it all up and thrown it all away, theres nothing more to say.

Calm Down
03:06
|

the things you used to tell me, the things you used to say, well I didn't listen when you open yourself to me. that short cliche sentence, those terrified wandering eyes, well we will get to live our lie.
don't you tell me now, try to calm down. the things that were such a bother are things that we remember, and I don't think its just me who's getting older.
so head down set in our ways, if you really cared then you'd want it to change.
I said why do we bother, if we're not getting closer, we're pushing each other away.
I said one year older, without knowing each other. Yeah, you tell me what to say to get across to you that I care about you and I don't want to die without saying.
how can we be sure, when will we be gone, I want another chance, I want another shot, were wrapped up in this world, we're waiting on a sign, you never stopped to think that you were never fine.
I doubt we ever stop thinking of ourselves.
try to calm down.

Price

the longer we wait, the mess we've made, won't be solved.
the reason you use all the things you abuse and the nights that you call.
the hate you've harbored the second time is harder so don't just run to stay out
the fate you run from the lies from your lungs we showed ourselves the prices
the truth stays in, with these mistakes again, dragging on.
i've seen all this, and it never ends, just leave.
the hate you've harbored the second time is harder so don't just run to stay out
the fate you run from the lies from your lungs we showed ourselves the price

Shell
03:28

you can't just say that you don't want to know, you're all ready you're all ready to go.
and I can't say that you won't make it out alive and why would you ask me and believe the truth you know what's right so why won't you fight for what you believe because no one's conceiving for you.
and won't you say it's all we've become. it's all that's left today. a shell of our old ways
and theres no way that any eyes could see what's up ahead and what will come to be. and there's a choice in how you make it through. the toils, the fights, the lies will all come true. and with no way ahead of us to fall we'll brace ourselves with what we've come to call home.
you have to hide away all the things you love for ammunition for all your ambitions for something sufficient to sway your decisions against your resistance.
you can make it through you can make it true you can make it through the last few hoops.
but, you can't just say that you don't want to know.

it's never enough but you keep on asking keep keep holding your breath cuz i'll keep of passing
it's no wonder for me so why all the questions
what can i ask that would beg your confession
we all hide away in a way to our choosing
but, you open up only when you are losing
we are the same we are so hollow
so don't wallow, please just don't follow
something's not right but I'm not the problem and neither are you but i can't take on the burden
my main concern for your safety is hidden in lines that you hide from daily
just stop
and call for me you're all mixed up and settling
for less than what you're worth
take your time from this old earth
and put yourself first
its never enough but you keep on asking keep telling yourself its love everlasting
it's no wonder for me but why all the questions what can i ask that would beg your confession
we all hide away in a way to our choosing
but, you open up only when you are losing
we are the same we are so hollow
so don't wallow, please just don't follow

Alone
03:42
|

you've got no guts you're too soft
with those big window eyes that let everybody all the assholes in
and they all know what just happened to you
well your secrets are written all over your face whatever made you leave your hiding place
being alone is the only thing you know that's safe
you've got no moves you're so dull
well the downside's your shifty hands no one in this town will ever understand and all your girl's dreams of the men they wish you boys could be well your hearts are just organs and your love is empty space well whatever made you leave your hiding place
being alone is the only thing you know that's safe
i got less guts and I've got less moves hiding my watercolors and my 3 cartoons I walk alone far from the city I don't have to worry about running into anybody
no more mistakes
i'm never going to leave my hiding place
being alone is the only thing you know thats safe

Mordecai Portland, Oregon
Veiled in the sonic shroud of avant-pop’s murky soundscapes, Portland, Oregon experimental Duo Mordecai are forging an
incendiary path. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Andrew Alexander Endres and violinist Kate Kilbourne the band came together in early 2016, conspiring darkly sweet, beat-driven bangers that fold in R&B swagger, electro mysticism, and pop sensibility.
