Future Tense (free) 04:57
lyrics
download
Well she stands in place waiting for something someone arrived he doesn't talk to much, he won't talk to much he's dragging out a momentary silence invisible to each other he sits and only hears a whisper in his ears of something that he needed to rely on she said, she said, she said she said These paths of broken string colliding out of me come and twist them up just wind around another future tense to see to warp your innocence, your innocence just remember, just remember it's all in your hands In a fairytailing twist, she appeared from out of air before he caught himself he fell before he spoke and gasping he had nothing to say he couldn't say, he couldn't say instead he fought himself did I choose the right one? Of course you did, I know you did Once you've seen the bottom of the abyss you can't be wrong if you've seen the end, you can't be wrong if you make the end, you can't be wrong

Cruise Control 04:59

Let the music fall from the sky Let it lead us to our home With so much time to wind up the mind Yeah and let our bodies go I'm not gonna try anymore Well I'll just let it roll I'm not gonna try anymore and I'm in cruise control Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul Imagination's the eyes looking at your soul I'm not gonna try anymore, Well I'll just let it roll I'm not gonna try anymore, I'll let it roll

Traffic 04:01
lyrics
buy track
You're quickly running out of rope to climb taking chances with your unlucky nines are you sure you found it all in one place, in one piece? In spades they have it everything you never need won't stop feeding you this traffic clouding what's already thin They make the promise they will bring you back they make that promise like they have the means and the ways you go around your head you needed something else instead the ways you go around your head you needed something else instead In spades they have it everything you never needed want...need.

Lullaby 03:27
lyrics
buy track
My old friend, who's going to bury who? In this time we've met, I've never seen you sleep do you find it odd, never rest for the weary standing under a cloud with these weights you drag So sleep away my friend I'll stay to wake you in the end and dream those dreams you keep inside look at yourself, sleepy eyes Asleep, asleep, pray for your soul to stay and tunnel through this darkness, this chaos you see So sleep away my friend I'll stay to wake you in the end and dream those dreams you keep inside look at yourself, sleepy eyes

Paper Wings 04:39
lyrics
buy track
Paper wings just cutting holes folding up to get away Can't escape the lingering of thoughts I've had along the way A broken beacon lights the shallow crashing waves you are, you are, you are burned Sometimes you are a pretty face in the crowd and all I want to do is end this tripping fool's climb for nothing Marching through the caravan searching stones along the shore Smoke and mirrors and fallacies coming with the rush of kerosene A sleeping dreamer in a silent symphony you are, you are, you are heard Sometimes you are a pretty face in the crowd and all I want to do is end this tripping fool's climb for nothing I'm already here, where I have to be I'm already here, where I have to be where I have to be

Tell Us Tonight 05:59
lyrics
buy track
Balloons come up from a sinking rock you threw and it's on the way down Deepest black and the dark floor exists my apologies for your waste Your something awaits your every move, your every move and it's here to find you to find you, and haunt you Come here you'll find out just what we are what's the trouble what's the toll a million minds can't fathom what we'll see bring your best impersonation She grew wings and she's coming back, she found you and she's coming back to tell you to tell you I'm coming up to cut you to pieces I'm coming up to cut you to pieces pieces, to pieces Don't worry about her, she won't stay, she won't stay come clean around it to plant it and sprout it in may a green start to warm your horizons and endless days cover your attachments to keep them from running away We won't say what you tell us tonight we won't say what you tell us tonight we won't say what you tell us tonight we won't say what you tell us tonight Don't worry about her she won't stay, she won't stay Don't worry about her she won't stay, she won't stay

Karmic Impulse 05:01
lyrics
buy track
Spill it all you're really going out on something strange why don't you reassess your situation before you blast yourself off, before you cast away Ride this impulse out, 'til you know what you've done ride this impulse out, 'til it comes around again Why you reaching? Why you reaching? Don't stop believing otherwise you'll plummet down the side of the earth that was flat as a plank is now inexplicably round Give your thanks for what you have, you really have it good The sky you picked is sour on the other side the fall of your civilization could come around at any time Ride this impulse out, 'til you know what you've got ride this impulse out, 'til your karma breaks you down Why you reaching? why you reaching? Don't stop believing otherwise you'll plummet down the side of the earth that was flat as a plank is now inexplicably round Why you reaching? Why you reaching?

Crown 04:55

Don't be afraid of me but I'm coming for you, coming for you wave your feelings down cause I'm coming for you, coming for you What would I find if I could see through the mud, take a look at you now, what would I find? Take back the lies you make give back the claims you stake a useless go and turn around walking with a tainted crown A tainted crown you've broken it down the scythe treats you the same as everyone A tainted crown you've broken it down the scythe treats you the same as everyone A tainted crown you've broken it down the scythe treats you the same as everyone A tainted crown you've broken it down the scythe treats you the same as everyone the same as everyone the same as everyone the same as everyone the same as everyone

Footprints 04:15
lyrics
buy track
So many questions I'll just leave my naked footprints in the field When I come around again I hope to see them laying peacefully instead of desert, instead of rail, instead of branching roads pretend the future, pretend the past has nothing for us at all Is this all you want me to be Is this all you wanted from me I can break the legends down with some time Safe at home again right back to where we know it started from hold your disasters I don't want this to turn ugly I can be what you want me to be I will make them all understand Gonna take it over again with some time Save yourself the trouble you are grateful for the times you were there but you're not needed here anymore you're not helping at all anymore Safe at home again right back to where we know it started from

In the Peel 07:55
lyrics
buy track
Somebody stop me, I can't control myself grab another one from the ledge and open it up open up the inside, and throw it away You know, it can't be that bad it can't be that bad it's in the peel what you're looking for isn't real it won't appear, so why not just pretend away I know, what's the point of doing something about it if you can't feel it, touch it, breathe it You know, it can't be that bad it can't be that bad it's in the peel what you're looking for isn't real it won't appear, so why not just pretend away Who exactly are you to say? In the peel I'll keep it I won't, I won't deal with the inside just leave me the bitter ends, the bitterness You know, it can't be that bad it can't be that bad it's in the peel what you're looking for isn't real it won't appear, so why not just pretend away In my final dancing days I might change I might change I might, I might deal with the inside forfeit the bitterness for a sweet ending

Leave Me In 06:12
lyrics
buy track
Picturing you again reminds me of your breath as cold as the window keep the world outside Forget about the bricks rest your ears from piercing lips disguised as a smile wrapped around their heads The world waits for us to breathe who are we to hide away Why keep the world outside? Silence keeps the world outside Come down off your cold, senseless ark let a thousand pins wash your skin because, because once the numbness melts your bones you care You moved on with your effects we shared a laugh created a silence and scattered Why keep the world outside? Silence keeps the world outside Let a thousand pins wash your skin let a thousand pins wash your skin because, because because, because because you leave me in Leave me in leave me in leave me in leave me in

The Allegory 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Don’t fall asleep There’s so much you need to see Locked from the inside With walls painted sky blue So long, we could never surrender And so falls the sky Is that what you wanted It comes crashing down on me So like a child Watching the mobile we’re entranced Staring at the ceiling To notice its splitting Dizzy, broken, and destroyed So fall to your knees And witness the truth You wanted to leave behind Am I making you lose your mind And so falls the sky Is that what you wanted It comes crashing down on me

about

Like a more psychedelic Spoon or a more shambolic Pinback...The East Bay band’s debut politely ignores prevailing trends.
- Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express

A powerful, fresh sound that builds on the past and adventurously anticipates the future. Psychedelic flourishes enhance intricately layered rock.
- Paul Freeman, San Jose Mercury

There's a deep fluidity in the songs of Wave Array that makes the group not just another drop in the ocean of psychedelic garage-rock bands.
- Delfín Vigil, SF Chronicle


Self released and self-produced. Cheapjack Moon is a 2 year culmination of Wave Array's sonic evolution.
