You'll probably begin with a joke, Light up my smoke, And then you'll dance around the moon until three. And you might bat your eyes, But you're still telling lies, And I ain't feeling a thing! A vicious cycle it seems, To seek out your dreams, And watch them spit in your face, But baby you know I'm taken, And I ain't shaking For a weasel in drag (chorus) For your intentions are jaded Before you breath And I, oh oh I, oh oh I ain't feeling easy. Arrogant as shit, You're licking your lips In great anticipation. Now I may seem naive, But baby, don't baby me, A smile won't get you my kiss. Why don't you settle down without your fucking clowns, See me for who I am. Cause baby you know I'm taken and I ain't shaking for a weasel in drag (chorus) (bridge) Oh ohohoh, oh oh ohoh, You mean nothing darling, Hey, ohoh oh oh oh ohoh oh ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ayaiyai. Bubabubbum!

Accordion 03:43
The night wind blows across your lips, Caressed with midnight dew. Your voice is cracking like your mind, Reasoning is moot. Drawing circles again, Hoping we will win. Now we're walking hand in hand, We're wading through the meadow. Though the light is fading fast, We could never falter. Drawing circles again, Hoping we will win! And soon, your sun will rise, And I may not survive Heartache to heartache, We can't underestimate when we feel alive, Fear and confusion Bring death to illusions And we begin to die Hold onto your lies.

Accused 04:00
If all is meant to break without our consent, Then I will forget This empty bag of shame And if you cry at me My voice shall envision A resting place, so soft and still. If your tide should turn Away from all this agony The ecstasy of misery, Just close your eyes and think of me Bit do you care today? Am I still near your grace? With a kiss of the ocean All my barricades are crumbling without any will And your lips are amazing And nothing is over until we spill But do you care today? Am I still near your grace? Naked and screaming You hold onto nights life Deceiving, tormenting You just can't let go. Hold onto nothing, I can't understand it So why is this killing me? Why can't I breath? If all is meant to break without our consent then, I will forget this empty bag of shame.

Sed Milgrim 04:55
Give me a chance to refrain from this torture, I can't sing For everyday brings another reason why I cringe. For who needs another reminder of what they left behind? Desperately I cry I'm sheparding my fear of change, I cannot seem to stay in line forever This remorse is standing strong, My feeble chit chat wanders on Over and over we are repeating "this isn't it" Yet we return to the same indulgence, "Hand me a drink!" For who needs another reminder of what they left behind We are trapped inside our routines, Laughing at our shattered dreams forever And this remorse is standing strong My feeble chit chat wanders on

Five 05:47
Spawned from this fight, Hollow misguidance was never my strength Would you want To go on this way, when nothing's the same? Detached and elusive we crawl through our pain But of course we could ignore this emptiness As it continues to grow, Trapped in our monotony As we regain autonomy Detached and elusive we crawl through our pain Going after you was my big mistake, A warning or two reclining within this fortress I create But oh, my love Don't you see that Over and over we forget the place we began I won't matter to you when I leave And fuck you darling because arrogance is free Your apathy gives you safety as time trickles by, Easy going only time will tell If all your lack of effort makes a bitter soul

Once Again 03:27
Your eyes once consoled me, Recognized me And remembered the span of my touch, But now they're forgetting, And they move over my form with disregard. Your casual kisses are tinted with tarnish Your eyes remain closed as they tear this world apart (chorus) But my heart won't concede, And I'm still afraid Of losing that love that we gave, And I cannot see the pressure you're building within, This distance you crave, Has killed me once again. So I move in slowly, To give you a chance to make me sigh, Give you your solidarity, And the purpose it implies But comfort is bullshit, Our voices are cliche, Your eyes remain closed As you tear this world apart (chorus) (bridge) We've broken all the rules We conquered their points of view, But now arising is simply revolting, Oh what the fuck happened to tear this apart?! (chorus) Oh baby!

Shining Star 04:39
Take it over please, I refuse to break In this tasty savory place if hate Give a peck or two To release my fight Is it overwhelming to be failing? (chorus) Grasping and tearing I reach for your heart Haunted by your lips I can't give up now For you are my shining star Pass your plate of guilt With a weighted feather Isn't this grand, All of us are bloated Will the meal reveal All we have in store? Highlights of a gorge of torture Or facts of life dismayed (chorus) you'll pay for your faulty paper machete As I regain all your blessings Could you refrain from taking a message A warm dispatch is moving it down Is moving it down Take it over please I refuse to break
8.
Light lies dormant on your fingers, Never moving, My thoughts drift across your features, Always moving Never taking the time to heal Well never underestimate the life of damage And always be sure to hold on to your senses (chorus) But maybe I should have never tried to give, Well maybe I should have held on to what was given Weighing out this days devotion, Always tempting Standing strong against seclusion, Always growing absorbed in all that we shared, But then again (chorus) But still my heart is held on constant remorse, Distinguished lies, Your paranoia ringing with the distraction of my eyes And, whatever happens to moments of passion? Replaced with your concoctions of Banished positions I am floating on fragments of life that fill our crazed seams You keep it closed tight, ya know,never obscene and What is left in these moments together? Why don't ya show me it baby Could you let in? But then again, maybe I Should have never tried to give Well, maybe I should have held onto what was given Should have settled for what you felt like giving Left my heart on the shelf to bleed Tell me baby, is that what you expected of me? Sampled and discarded? Is that all you need me to be well, Why even give it babe, Keep your stiff pleasures clear of me

about

Our debut release "Draw Some Monsters" started probably over 10 years ago. Laetitia wrote the bulk of these songs long before Tik Tok was ever put together.

After the bands formation in 2008, we went into New Alliance studios to begin the initial tracking for this. Because of budget and laziness issues within the band, the production of the tracks dragged on over a course of 3 years. Eventually in that time we had a whole new albums worth of material ready to record, so we decided to continue production of this one ourselves while we tracked the new album (set to release later this year).

So here we are! FINALLY releasing this one. Hope you like it!

about

Tik Tok Boston, Massachusetts

"There was something so catchy and seductive about that music, I just couldn't help but to start dancing. It was so exciting. I was literally pitching a tent by the third song."


"They definitely put on a great show... She has an incredible, beautiful voice, which she compliments by playing the piano like a late nineteenth century composer. Truly amazing."
