Deadlines (Live at Brooklyn Steel)
[Verse 1: Will Toledo]
I never see the threat too soon
The blood on the bandage, the ghost in the room
Got a canvas as white as the moon
But when I see it at night, it's a sickening blue
I was thinking people never change
But there's a new taste of dread that I cannot explain
In the thoughts that make up my life
It reflected in others from time to time
Now I've got another question
And if we run out of time, can we make an exception?
Got a piece that needs completion
And I want to hear more from you
[Verse 2: Will Toledo]
He said, "I'd like to do this for a living
But I don't know how"
Wild, uncommercial
Sleeping on a leash
There was a predestined set of symbols ticking into place
A prom queen crowned in the background
Stepping out of frame
A pair of hands took me to your face
Your eyes held me
And they said-
[Chorus: Will Toledo]
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
Covered under your sleeve sometime
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
I'm alright, I was really in a state tonight
[Verse 3: Will Toledo]
I won't speak, I don't know what to say
I can hear in your prayers, it's the same things we pay for
Got a currency that you accept
If you want to exchange, we can try to connect
Give me the number to your room and leave the door on the latch
There are tigers in the jungle, there's a knife in the mattress
I don't think we broke the glass, but hell if I know
I never learned to dance, what the hell do I know?
[Bridge: Will Toledo & Ethan Ives]
I know I won't always love you like this
I swear I'm not always falling to bits
But, but, but in the hallway
The moment hits and the setup clicks like a safety
And you could hear a pin drop, feel it
I feel it
You'll feel it
You'll feel it
I feel it
You'll feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Feel it
[Spoken: Will Toledo]
Alright. Thank you for joining us tonight
What a ride it has been
On stage, starting with the low end, on bass, Seth Dalby
Next to him on keyboards, New Yorker for some amount of years, Ben Roth
To my right, never been to New York in his life, but he can play a mean guitar, Ethan Ives
Behind me, they named this city after this guy. It's the king, the Duke of York, Andrew Katz. Andrew, play a little drums for us
Hey- hey-hey
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da
Alright, on one, on two, on three, on four, four, four, four
[Chorus]
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
I was really in a state tonight
Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?
I'm alright, put me up your sleeves sometime, put me up your sleeve sometime, put me up your sleeve sometime
Oh, temptation
I could take a piece from you
Oh, completion
Coming closer, let the candle burn right through
[Outro]
Let it burn right through
Let it burn right through
Let it burn right through
Let it burn right-
Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it
Thank you so much! That's every song that we know, so have a good night!
