Since this is the first time we have released a cd without the lyrics enclosed, we thought it would be nice to post them here. enjoy.
"help" -this is not what i thought it would be no, this is not what i need i'm losing, i'm losing control today you're quiet you've got nothing to say my muscles they tighten and they constrict i hope i don't suffocate myself to death this is not what i thought it would be it is not what i need i need a touch, i need to strum i think maybe i need some help this is not what i need it is not what i thought it would be-
"love" love is a word i could never really get to roll off my tongue so i'm done with hope and certainty
you're a girl i could never quite figure out so i've done without pleasantries
so if you come to me and i'm not concious, lie down with me there's no use staying busy and if i won't calm down, tell me to behave and i'll listen oh i'll listen
love's a word that never really did quite figure out what its all about forever or just right now
you paid, i ate, but i lost the weight i just couldn't have that money in my belly
"Beach Front Property"
i've seen it all but i can't rid these shadows will you wait for me to stop drifting like a piece of wood? could you stop these wheels from spinning? i think you could
rejoice! the coast is sliding into the sea rejoice! you will be carried to my doorstep on the crest of a wave
the midwest twisters have turned to a lovely sea breeze can you believe it i'm sitting on beach front property i'm sipping wine as the grain and gulls get drunk on the salt as it pools
"Walking on Water" well guess what the pond has frozen over i'm walking on water the lights reflects from the ice to your skin to your crooked teeth i wanted them pressed on to mine
my chest is exploding i want to be you. i want to wrap myself around you not like those serpants that have tied you down you're eating apples every single day
123...123....1..2 you're coming with me
who would have thought i turned the water into wine i'm drinking it down the light reflects from the glass to your skin to your diamond ring i want to pour myself out until i'm paper thin
"Constants" can you handle it? the sugar filled veins the decreasing sunlight and chilled autumn rains your hair has grown long, and you've messed up i hope you're okay
can you believe it? we've come this far striped petti coats and run down cars we say goodbye, run through the woods, the neighbors are at it again
you're a roller rink and i'm spinning in circles around you like spring night skies that stay blue. this warmth it misses you
there's so many constants i wish you were constant too
on the way home we talked about how i hadn't changed and how i'd said i would come back one day to stay well i know i know i should be killed but this silence it's already killing me
so when you said you'd follow me wherever i'd go well that scared the hell out of me i thought you should know cause why oh why would someone follow around a bag of bones
"Picture of Departure" something i said went straight to your head and now you look so sad you climbed up a tree, under water i saw the world spin above me so i held my breath, we called off the dogs and now we're just floating
so come down now come down now from the trees stretch your body and seams we're a picture of departure and we hang on every word
i touched your dress and i felt its seems. we let the air roll through time has such a way with words, with simple sides but we tangle them we've learned to be patient for the quiet coming days.you're a miracle in marble room
Sorry for the horrible lack of updates/communication over the past month or so. We've been having a major issue with our Myspace. Some botched setting in our account has made it to where every time we try to post a bulletin, it doesn't post it. It merely thinks our account has been 'phished' and tells us to change our password to 'unlock' it. Once we do that, it still keeps doing the same thing. It's a vicious cycle!
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that we haven't abandoned you, and that we have a slew of new tour dates up. This time we're going out with Paulson (Doghouse Records). We're mainly hitting up the mid-west/great-lakes area this time, but don't fear all you coastal dwellers. We'll be ALL OVER this summer...AND I MEAN EVERYWHERE!
So check out those dates, come out to a show, and bear with us as we (try to) get this Myspace debockle figured out!
OOOHHH, and if anyone has any influence or insights into Myspace, we are having the hardest time getting customer service and/or Tom to respond to us and get this issue resolved. Just shoot us a message if you have any advice or help.
Thanks everyone. We'll be seeing you shortly!

big ups to our boiz Fat Joe & Lil' Wayne for giving us a shout out in their new song "Make It Rain"
I was walking around Garden State Plaza Mall awhile ago, and guess who was there? Thats right infamous Terror Squad's Fat Joe!! After being kind of creepy watching him walk around the mall, I finally mustered up the courage to say whats up. After being frisked by his bodyguards, they allowed me to talk to him. I mentioned to him I was in a band called Umbrellas. And he said he was thinking about writing a song about umbrellas. Me being the nice person I am, I told him i was in full support of him using it. And hence his new hit "Make It Rain" with the lyrics "got a hand full of stacks, better grab an umbrella". Then he told me to send his management a cd, so I did. Then a few weeks later I got an email back saying he loved our song "Again & Again" so much he wanted to do a remix of it.
heres the video to "Make It Rain"
