Compulsively I find a reason Just to stay in yesterday I am stuck on this hue of our twilight blue You see we keep on moving together (into the twilight) When we should be moving apart And the residue of you has me broken Record skipping and tripping outside your door Oh those sweet days of your sweet gaze Send me in a whirlwind addicted to wanting you When you offer up your skin I sink right in You're everywhere I want to go yet everywhere I've been Still we keep on moving together When we should be moving apart And the residue of you for a start I must shed off Ahh We keep on moving together (into the twilight) When we should be moving apart And the residue of you for a start I must shed off We keep on moving together (into a twilight) When we should be moving apart And your residue for a start I must compulsively shed off And we keep on moving together (into a twilight) When we should be moving apart And the residue of you I must for a start shed off...

lyrics

Red light glares in my face Yet still I cannot resist the taste When you approach me closer Let me endure Your gorgeous fire seeks to allure me But it will burn me Led by the sound of leaves hitting the ground I just find myself falling again Right back to where we began I keep tripping on our tracers When embers fly I keep tripping on our tracers Their burning trails mesmerize Sometimes I rush and I'm flush with you Still so lush at times it all feels like new But it's just a brush with a fate I never knew I never knew... It's just a tease lasts as long as the breeze that blew through here yesterday I never get out of the way I keep tripping on our tracers When embers fly We keep tripping on our tracers Their burning trails mesmerize I can only manage a smile for all this while You keep pulling me in I can manage a smile for all this while I keep on giving in Ahh... I keep tripping on our tracers When embers fly I keep tripping on our tracers Their burning trails mesmerize Mesmerize, mesmerize me Mesmerize, mesmerize, mesmerize me

about

In early 2000, Robert James Pashman and Patrick Kliesch were feeling like trying something new. They had been very interested in the “trip-hop” movement started years before by bands like Portishead, Massive Attack, Björk and others and set about writing material in their spare time in this vein. Enter star vocalist Ceci Castelblanco, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, who entered the call for a vocalist that the band put out in NY’s Village Voice. The result: the very promising EP length, self-titled "P0rta1" (Portal). Sadly, after just recording 4 songs and finishing 2, Ceci returned to the west coast. “I still look back very fondly on these few songs” says Robert “and I think if we made a full-length album we would have had even better stuff than what we finished. It’s amazing how just the following year came the debut album by Zero 7. I think the albums they’ve made are a really good indicator of what we were setting out to do. Too bad they did it instead of us!”
