Watched you light your cigarette
I saw you cry on Christmas Eve
I heard you break the sliding door
You must’ve gone through tragedy
I never want to be alone
You argue with the mailman
And throw out unbruised fruit
Stained up nightgown in the eve
And fucking on the stoop
You argue with the neighbors
You spit and kick and scream
You come back home late at night
And wake me from my dream
I never want to be alone
Takes a faculty of my mind
Capacity of my soul
Takes version of my brain
Now push me down below
Takes a faculty of my mind
Capacity of my soul
Takes version of my brain
I never want to be alone

She's Mine
03:01

Just like the tide moves in
Just like waves roll out
Just like my mood fades
Just like the sun shines
She’s reading my palm
She’s asking my sign
She’s mopping the deck
Her gravity’s fine
She’s mine
She’s guessing the dates
She’s guessing them right
She’s flying the coop
Her gravity’s fine
She’s fine
Just like the tide moves in
Just like waves roll out
Just like my mood fades
Just like the sun shines
She’s chanting to stars
She’ll put of a fight
She’s feeling a hunch
She’s dancing at night
She’s mine
She’s making her list
And checking it twice
She’s figuring out
Who’s fiendish and nice
She’s fine
Just like my mood fades
Just like sun shines
She’s mine
She’s fine

Bathe Clean
03:06
|
|||
|
Sheets are soaked, I feel full
Awful, rotten and illogical
My clothes are soiled, I feel dull
Knees are weak so I crawl
I don’t know where you go
I don’t know where you’ve been
I don’t know where you stay
I don’t know when to begin
Bathe clean
Stay clean, with me
Melatonin has kicked in
Only leads to agitation
And all the nausea from the vitamins
Makes me want to fall again
I don’t know where you go
I don’t know where you’ve been
I don’t know where you stay
I don’t know when to begin
Bathe clean
Stay clean, with me

What We Give
02:13
|
|||
|
Don’t let the fires get in the way of
A cold story you can share with your friends
Extreme heat is pushing out the bobcats
Letting go is the only way to end
I sat on top of a full-blown catastrophe
Not the way I intended it to spend
Give, what do we give?
Some say I am youthful in spirit
Some argue that I’m just stupid
I know it seems like I’m always on empty
And yet I have something left to give
Give, what do we give?

Pargana

The leaves begin to turn
And they’ve fallen onto grey
And the rocks whisper to me
And fields begin to sing
Now the water tastes like salt
And it’s cooler than true North
And feeling starts to come over me
And the trees begin to dance
Take nine steps, now two more
I’m told, I know
Seeking longitude
And I’m feeling latitude
Elevation starts to talk to me
And the sands turn pure white
Dialect starts to shift
And jargon starts to turn
The offing is so beautiful
Truth in nature
Take nine steps, now two more
East Coast, southern most
Take nine steps, now two more
Foremost, holy ghost.
Take nine steps, now two more
I’m told, I know

Settle Down

Settle down, I always wanted to
Settle down, I’m right in front of you
I took a decade off, just to get away
I took a decade off, but now I’m gonna stay
I wanna know what’s yours
I wanna know what’s mine
I wanna know what’s ours
I already know what’s mine
Settle down, I always wanted to
Settle down, I’m down in front of you
I took a lifetime off, just to get away
I took a lifetime off, but now I’m gonna stay
I wanna know what’s yours
I wanna know what’s mine
I wanna know what’s ours
I already know what’s mine
I need to know what’s in return
I need to know what’s in return
I need to know what’s in return
(let me ask you)
I need to know what’s in return
Settle down

I'm Nervous Too
03:48
|
|||
|
I don’t want to be held
I don’t want to be talked to
I don’t want to be heard
Apply aloe to sunburn
Because
I’m noble man
Head’s on my shoulders
I’m a gentleman
Why don’t you come over?
I’m a nervous wreck
I’m a goddman mess
Always doing no wrong
Often causing no harm
Hypervigilance
And my muscles are tense
Cut my caffeine intake
Still hurts like a toothache
Because
Started biting my nails
Spit them on the carpet
Started grinding my teeth
No reason to stop it
I’m a nervous wreck
I’m a goddman mess
Always doing no wrong
Often causing no harm

Son on the Floor
03:34

Heaven knows why you’ve done this before
There’s son on the floor
Your sister claims flop, peers through the door
There’s son on the floor
I don’t know why, we all walked away
I don’t know why
Don’t call my family
Just leave me lying
I don’t know, I’ve been here before
There’s son on the floor
My mother screams, stop, out through the door
There’s son the floor
I don’t know why, we all walked away
I don’t know why
Don’t call my family
Just leave me lying
I don’t know why, we all walked away
Now we will pay
Don’t call my family
Just leave me lying
Just leave me

Fasten it Up
02:34
|
|||
|
Come and take my love and run
Come and take my love and run
Once you know you can, I’ll better understand
Fasten it up
I will find you
Feels so hot in the dark
Feels so cool in the light
Once you know you can, I’ll better understand
Come and take my love in the night
Fasten it up
The passion above

My Modesty
02:24
|
|||
|
I know you’re waiting for it, waiting for it
Coz’ I’ve been driving all night
So give me something for it, something for it
My modesty, is your must see
My modesty, philosophy
So now you’re waiting for me, waiting for me
I put your things in the van
You keep asking for it, asking for it
My modesty, is your must see
My modesty, philosophy
I know you’re waiting for it, waiting for it
Coz’ I’ve been driving all night
My modesty, is your must see
My modesty, philosophy

Intentions
04:00

The swain’s on the couch
Disoriented, it’s not who you are, it’s just what you did
The child’s right here, asking for help
Let’s give it a try, not by myself
My intentions are good, but I fail sometimes
Meanwhile, I give in
The world is out here
Implicated on trust
God sent above, a breeze with a gust
My affliction’s right her, it’s making no sound
Vibration feelings, now I’m homebound
My intentions are good, but I fail sometimes
Meanwhile, I give in
This is the last time
This is the last…
My intentions are good, but I fail sometimes
Meanwhile, I give in

LEWIS Los Angeles, California
Band from Los Angeles, CA
LEWIS’ “Growing Pains” is a refreshing take on indie rock, no laptop productions,
or programmed beats, but songs with lyrics as seen through eyes of former punker Chris Lewis, and entertaining unexpected twists. “Growing Pains” would be on the dreamy side of indie rock, with a heavy dose of 1990s flavor.
