The Painters (free) 02:37
lyrics

The signal-less drivers are so content with their named napkins and their stolen paper bag hearts They tie their hands behind their back That's the name for them: The Painters of the Green Trees But I'll sit in the glare of the sun, drunk Burying the bones my grandfather took And everytime I don't give birth I put my head out the window 'Cause that's another day that he's alive and another day that I don't have to die And you're right You're so right God forbid an empty chair But even if you hollowed out the backseats of the broken cars there's still room enough for me on the floor So I'll sit in the glare of the sun, drunk Burying the bones my grandfather took And everytime I don't give birth I put my head out the window 'Cause that's another day that he's alive and another day that I don't have to die

Hello over Hello over Hello over Hello over Tearing out the grass that's been crawling on my back Hello over hello over hello over Hello over And you know what I said And that I-, or what I meant This is not what you needed I just want distortion Hello Hello (Hello) Come on, come on, it's not like there's anyone else, come on (Hello) Come on, come on, I put in my time and all How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you (Hello) Come on, come on, it's not like there's anyone else, come on (Hello) Come on, come on, I put in my time and all How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not know How could you not...

Onna's Lullaby 03:52
lyrics

Onna How do you feel tonight? Do you think that it would be alright? And I'm sure I know the answer you will say I just want to see your face at the break of day So I can say Onna How do you feel tonight? Are we gonna have to get into a fight? If I see your arm around another guy You can count on me to lose my troubled mind I'll still say Onna How does it feel tonight to be at the center of all of my life?

Truth 05:02
lyrics

There is no truth in what I say since you've been taken far away If only you had thought to stay We remain as we were and so perfectly sure that we need nothing else in the world There is no truth in what I say Though I still need you in some way The way you left, it's not okay Now my heart's in my throat And I'm ready to go And I can't live without anymore

The Dependable Ones 05:09
lyrics

I can see you and what you're doing and I know that it's a lie Little words to push you forward Cut off the ears of the occupier So we don't start Then we don't stop It won't be long now until the firemen come to snuff us out, because we are the Dependable Ones So if feeling gets you off and you can't stand to be alone, you can always call us But now we won't pick up We have had enough I won't be tied to your open door So we don't start Then we don't stop It won't be long now until the firemen come to snuff us out, because we are the Dependable Ones And I will make you a sign Light it up Pour it out And that way no one will be confused at where they stand with you But if we don't start Then we won't stop It won't be long now until the firemen come to snuff us out, because we are the Dependable Ones We are, we are The Dependable Ones So help yourself quick 'Cause I'm not going to anymore

Oh no I can't help but feeling all left out And here it comes the ship that carries all my ghost nights off Off Off Not now No, no, the ceiling it can't go Don't talk I won't speak but surely I will know I'll still know Know Flying 'round Flying in and kicking my head out Tell me what have I got swimming inside me I've gone i've gone and lost the inside of me I don't I don't want to throw up both my hands But I am learning too slow Slow So empty the net and see what's the catch

about

What happens when you don't get what you truly want? It begins with an American narrator arrogantly boasting of his penchant for entertaining himself, and ends halfway around the world as a Grecian monk, tortured by vow of silence and a lifetime of loneliness, is drawn to a mountain-top suicide.

"It's hard to ignore that The Quelle Source's self-titled EP is full of pretty, earnest indie pop without coming off as sounding like really cheesy singer-songwriter crap." - The Deli Magazine Philadelphia
