Loose Leaf Tea

It ain't my place to be worried
It ain't my place to be sorry anymore
Have a cup of loose Leaf Tea
And don't think about before
I know you've got some things to say
I know I've got some things of yours
Have a seat, I'm listening
Just don't talk about before
I'm trying something new
I'm letting go of you
And I might get carried away real soon
There ain't no cause for concern
There ain't no whale washed on the shore
Grab a pack of cigarettes
And don't talk about before
Done with the letters
Done with the dreaming
Stir it into the tea we are drinking
Done with the flooding
Done with the sinking
Done with repeat, and repeat, and repeating
I'm trying something new
I'm letting go of you
And I might get carried away real soon

Don't Let Me Lose You

We pass through the same scene
My mind is underground
I'm sorry that you knew me when
But I'm so much better now
All I have are pictures
Letters and some dreams
You have to know, you have to know
This isn't really me
You are not close enough to me
You are not close enough to me
Don't let me lose you
Don't let me lose
You are somewhere on the other side of town
You are shuffled in the index of my mind
You’re with someone just in the other room
You are somewhere that’s so hard for me to find
You are not close enough to me
You are not close enough to me
Don't let me lose you
Don't let me lose

Maybe Love

I think your heart was broken
All the time I knew you
I tried so hard to mend it but I
Split it right in two
You're picking up the pieces
And scrambling to stand
And like your favorite song well I
I want to hold your hand
Maybe Love
Isn't good enough
Maybe Love
Is just another drug
Maybe Love
Isn't what we thought it was
But it's all we have to prove we had anything at all
And it may just feel useless
Pathetic and juvenile
But I’m a hopeless cause
And I want more of the usual
And if you’re heart’s still broken
And if you still can’t stand
Take my heart instead
Then reach out and take my hand
Maybe Love
Isn't good enough
Maybe Love
Is just another drug
Maybe Love
Isn't what we thought it was
But it's all we have to prove we had anything at all
Maybe Love...

I’d like for you to meet
My friends and all my needs
I know you’re strong enough to carry me
I hope you’re strong enough to turn and leave
I can keep you clean
And keep the rose on your cheek
Ain’t no one in this world that needs you more than me
Ain’t no one in this world could ever learn to see what I see
Get ready for the night
We want your skin
Get ready for the night
We want you
If you’re tired
So am I
If you’re tired
Shut your eyes
Get ready for the night
We want your skin
Get ready for the night
We want you

Let me memorize your skin
I will give and forgive
Sit still now
Before I tie you down
I know it's hard to believe
But I'll be happy when you leave
Oh, it's just like you to lose
Oh, it's just like you to lose
There's a point on this map
Where someday you'll be at
And were it not for the wine
You might get to keep those times
They were never mine
They were never mine

Desgraciados - 2012
by Madisons
Madisons is the best band currently working in Austin, TX. That may sound like opinion, but go see them live and you will know it is fact. "Desgraciados" will always be one of our favorites!

Delightful, freewheeling noise pop where clouds of guitar encircle heavenly, far-off vocals.

In the sweet spot of '80s college radio/goth nostalgia, this LA group has big pop hooks, chiming guitars and a wry, dark sense of humor.

Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle.
