lyrics

Light shifts across the room
stone-facing flowers bloom
some half-remembered song
one breath no right no wrong

Willing the day to end
so that you can begin again
Eyes shut against the dawn
But your real life is coming on

Blank-slates on every side
cast silvered shadows where you can hide
Boys wear don’t care like thin veneers
You’ve got a secret between your ears

The truth hides in what’s unsaid
And control is a slender thread
It don’t matter who you were
as the here and the now converge

In the wink of an ambered glass
somehow the evening’s passed
They’re like clocks made of flesh and bone
But your hands pass the hours alone

Blank slates on every side
cast silvered shadows where you can hide
Girls flaunting suits and boutonnieres
You’ve got a secret between your ears

You can paint all their morals red
if you keep it inside your head
but if you dare let your feathers show
in an hour the whole town will know

Go home and play your part
Every line hit every mark
No matter how hard you try
The smile doesn’t reach your eyes

Blank-slates on every side
cast silvered shadows where you can hide
Boys wear don’t care like thin veneers
You’ve got a secret between your ears

Blank slates on every side
cast silvered shadows where you can hide
Numbers on matchbook souvenirs
You’ve got a secret between your ears

Little Tiger Mariposa, California

Little Tiger is a new wave / synth-pop duo comprised of Alex Vance and Ava Burns. Continuing the indie rock tradition of making music for misfits, their emotionally astute lyrics celebrate the divergent and nonconforming. Contrasting electronic beats with lush synthesizers and chorus-drenched guitar hooks, their emotional soundscape reflects their love of The Cure, Joy Division and Depeche Mode. ... more
