Undone 03:50
Where the shoreline breaks That's where I'll make to stay Counting from one to three That's not a part that I can play Take off and find a way My intentions wear a crown Some nights I've forgotten But others still hang around I had a chance for one dream It's not a path for me to run I'll cheer for you from afar We will always be undone Dodging umbrellas like jellyfish in the sea I'll give you the hat that protected me This morning has something to say Would you read it while i leave Once I fell into a lake But I pulled the plug to be found She made the sound that lets me sleep To love again don't forget me I had a chance for one dream It's not a path for me to run I'll cheer for you from afar We will always be undone

Second Tries 03:38
You've changed your mind It's time to change the game But as long as dices roll The chance remains The road is long And no one guides the way My dreams are small But they're too big to fade My aspiration to hold on Has bled me dry And left me doomed To watch it pass me by I'm part of the incessant wheel Of second tries And everyday begins With waiting for the night Even though futility Can make a happy man The boulder bearing down at me Is more than I can stand More than I can stand In certain ways I've tried to start again Though every way Turned out to be the same So I'm calling out for purpose In the same old scene I wade through muddy waters In the same old dream My head is spinning around The feelings that I get while Wondering about my masters That just wanna see a sad guy I'm feeling blue But my bones are white I'm cherishing the day In the darkest night But I'm cursing the gods For leaving me alone They're gone, gone for good Even though futility Can make a happy man The boulder bearing down at me Is more than I can stand More than I can stand

Brighter than the light You outshined the sun Golden ribbons twined Around my head Are falling into place They are falling into place The siren turns oblivious The queen of hearts to stone She offers candid promises In serenade and song Making me feel warm Making me feel warm

Westwood 03:47
And then I walked across the room And I think I saw a smile A smile, a smile it wasn't mine And like a pigeon in the cockpit I fly with lights flashing red I'm in the sky smiling at the things you once said The pavement seems smooth Its' warming reign The pavement seems smooth Its' warming reign And on the wall there is a painting With trees in yellow and red The sky is blue, but its changing soon it's the Westwood So here I am And I'm still smiling at your face Your face, your face, hells picked up the trace The pavement seems smooth Its' warming reign The pavement seems smooth Its' warming reign
6.
I am still awake Waiting for the sun to rise To compose a new symphony To paint the sky The pavement seems smooth It's warming reign under me And houses of cards Fade into the dawning light Holler clowns that is I think it's not me I was young just yesterday Now tell me what you want me to be Holler clowns that is I think it's not me I was young just yesterday Now tell me what you want me to be The paint is ready The orchestra tuned in Being someone won't take long Once they commence Once they begin A journey far from home Left behind for unknown Mountains will blast Blue clowns parades pass Holler clowns that is I think it's not me I was young just yesterday Now tell me what you want me to be Holler clowns that is I think it's not me I was young just yesterday Now tell me what you want me to be

Interlude II 01:12

Those fireflies in my head They stampede over lonely fields Just to say I love that I love you the same So I bark at the moon I remember the walks And the silent talks Filled with fiery looks Years from now We might see the snow melt with regret Over sidewalks of us The fire is out my darling Are you going to bed? Sunrise, escape Through the woods Wipe away the trace A fool I was But my promises Still remain the same Your way, my way Walk near me Walk beside me Will you stay in my head? Hold my hands until night breaks into day Tomorrow's headaches Sinful sands sunset runaway plans Hold it through the looking glass But there is nothing to keep Those fireflies in my head They stampede over lonely fields Sunrise, escape Through the woods Wipe away the trace A fool I was But my promises Still remain the same

I'll Be Fine 03:56
I know I'll make it With a cast away smile Not far down I'll see where I’ll be A point in the void But it's the lines that count Howling ghosts reappearing In the silence of what it's all about For every note that sounds wrong I've found a tune to move on And I'll be fine Right outside a world I had left for mine I've found the time to survive Dancing with the moon I'll be fine Looking for a next song With the right disguise Noone is bad at saying hi Being there is all So opposite your fright It's up for decides It's up for my time But I beat a wolf at the guessing game The night is darkest before dawn And makes it what its supposed to be I'll be fine Right outside a world I had left for mine I've found the time to survive Dancing with the moon I'll be fine Right outside a world I had left for mine I've found the time to survive Dancing with the moon I'll be fine

I took the window down As I climbed inside A distant pouring rain Hung loosely on my mind I stepped into the glass And got up on my feet I shook the hand of Old Mephistopheles From the arrival of the guards You were on his side You learned to wager Like the soulless sailors Into the field of loving hearts You threw your grenade Aching to explode For whoever made the call Of emergency You had a name on The bullet in your fake gun You yearned to declare war With those who wouldn't care For all the things you know I took the mirror down Though I never meant to hide When vision is at stake Don't ever trust your eyes My house was made of cards But the joker up my sleeve Slowly stole away I thought he smiled at me The sailors set their ship ablaze And washed themselves ashore A symptom of their fragile state Where safety is a bore At the center of it all You crafted hurricanes To blow away those, Self-deceiving wailers In the field of loving hearts You immersed your soul The cheerful crowd was aching for Utopia at Last

Above water we all look the same But we breathe in a different pace Through cracks in the window we were watching the stage But the loss of our wins made the current sway Cold break the waves On the vows made to guard our names Aiming for a luke-warm dream Cold break the waves On the vows made to guard our names Here's one for the road And one for me A kingdom to forget But we ate a piece for tea No second chance regret And we sneak so carelessly So long to those pictures So long to our friends A dance with the creatures In light of times spent In light of times spent Cold break the waves On the vows made to guard our names Aiming for a luke-warm dream Cold break the waves On the vows made to guard our names Here's one for the road And one for

And how the windows they open wide Though they let noone inside And the countless numbers of colorless people Like an unfinished still life of the picturesque street The box it collapses in the vacuum-like silence And the numbers are pressed for their remaining lives Then back comes some self as the doors open wide To well studied movements it seems And all of the men and women In the many boxes lost in love Restraining the speeches in their closets And there on the window the rain passionately kisses They dance in line for the remaining hours Suddenly he awakes in an occupied mirror And in stares a happy faced moon He sees a man with his head on too straight and too soon And the dreams he had that were washed away Will wash again through the circuits of his brain And they sing to him with a silent song Of numerous times long gone Of when he tried to laugh and tried to cry And he tried, he tried to sing
14.
Holding up the gaslight Wondering what the cat dragged in So far only mice and men So tell me how do you fit in I kissed your lips so they won’t dry A taste of life I can’t describe We broke the bread to last all day And painted words you can not say Like the break of day is forged at dusk Yes we have to because we must Ok kid we’ll go that way then I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend In between those fishy lines Young and wild with a hint of sea Casting shadows I can't decline Your faults they never bothered me Fear that I won't find my way back Fear my thoughts are on wrong tracks Caught in a landslide there’s nothing left to see Digging it out would take horses and weeks Like the break of day is forged at dusk Yes we have to because we must Ok kid we’ll go that way then I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend Ok kid we’ll go that way then I wanted a smile, but you wanted a friend

Recollections seem to be inane They take me in And turn me down Those memories seem to feel no shame They come along And wear me out The wind sounds plaintive When willows petrify My will is ageless Behind those pallid eyes Our silent traffic on its silver tray It served me well Some other time Now putrid passion is coming to reclaim The empty floors Of my mind I can't face it, The walls have vaporized My mouth is tasteless I'm bound to scrutinize those Scarlet Shadings Scarlet Shadings Scarlet Shadings Scarlet Shadings

about

Red lights cast a phase, just a luke-warm dream
The silhouette of a mountain will dance with a smile
Playing a fool, toast comes with tea
– Like A Pigeon in the Cockpit

It took two years of rehearsing, writing and playing music to create an album which can easily be seen as a journey – a journey that guides through various emotions and moods. From dreamy Bon Iver like melodies to syncopated Radiohead style rhythms to driving guitar and bass parts like those of Joy Division and The Cure. With 'A Pigeon in the Cockpit' Spiderwebs & Foam have created an LP that one should experience in its entirety. The idea of not releasing any singles beforehand emerged from the notion that these 15 tracks come together as a full circle.
Take a glass of red wine, put your feet up and see for yourself where their songs might lead you.
