you look out your window you watch your days divide i can't see the light in your eyes you can't see the rain in mine and some might say i'm dreaming yeah, i'm dreaming to save my life stay close to me it's too dark to see this fountain of endless night i am the swan and you are the sign that we'll make it all right and some might say i'm dreaming yeah, i'm dreaming to save my life

there's not a single cell that doesn't know the world is on fire and the sky has not a tear to cry on every map it seems to go both ways let's all bring down our grey hairs with sorrow to the grave to the grave... to the grave you lied you've done us wrong let's all stay home and watch the sunset filter through the vapors in our sky i guess it doesn't matter we all walk to road of tatter and ruin we've ruined everything i've heard the siren's call she tottered to a fall it's all because you had to have your way maybe one day you will wake up caine let's all bring down our grey hairs with sorrow to the grave to the grave

i fill the void all the way and i'm a waste on summer wings i might wait i might take what i want and you won't decide for me and i won't say that i have so much more to give than this how do i divide you? how do i deserve you? i don't know first light waning last rights gleaming undone from above all that matters windows shattered fell through floors and called out on the way down "love, not loss"
5.
will you call my name when i fade you know it wants me now and it brings me down the mind that burns the seven rays and there's a never ending nightmare that devours all my days and i guess the joke was on me just when i had accepted the hypocrisy i thought i saw you but it must have been a ghost you couldn't feel me anyway and in a faded blue horizon you saw my fears it blew us both away almost for good and i know you better than i know the way and you know me better than you know the way
6.
stalling to wait on the winter of my days if i look away will i see you? under the waves i can't leave, i can't stay and i'm swimming in pools with my sorrow time changes things now we drink it away you can meet me at the bottom i've been waiting for you just to say it but now i know you how i know you how i know you to lie over and over over and over just once more, can you say it? just once more can't you say it? "no..."

8.
my memory is a dream and i fail to sleep because fail to see the point and in my midnight showdown with the black black sky i look upon your angel face and for a moment we are frozen forever for the moment we are frozen sometimes i can't see you through the fog but i know that you are there when hand touches heart brings me back when i'm lost when i'm out there - nowhere when i've lost my way i thought you should know
9.
i saw you're wake on the horizon i felt you shake and burn again is this the way you choose t spend your days? is this the way you treat your friends? we all need the rain we all hurt the same i'd love to hear the reasons but time is money minutes, dollars, days the prospects of the future have got me running i am the rat this is my maze if it gets colder we could die here the life has left just like the sun on every road we see the same sign the weather's worn the words and lost is luck i can't decide

down again 08:12
the one time singled out it's on the way you know forever is and i can't be caught why so low? because you know you're on the way down drowned in doubt and don't you go begging to stay you know the limits have been set forever you have waited here and forever is such a long wait such a long wait

about

"Twilight, mastered by Grammy-award-winning engineer Matt Sandoski, explores dark, brooding territory with near-telepathic interplay.
Seamless from start to finish, this eleven-song cycle sustains an ominous, slow-loping ambience suitable for doomsday -- or at least a rainy-morning shag. Armed with copious electronics and a Tibetan singing bowl, Orbit serves up a squeezebox-driven lament that recalls 16 Horsepower ("Dark Orange Sunset"), plus a scathing lesson in emotional economics ("Minutes, Dollars, Days"). Standout track "Thought You Should Know" pits memory, love and insomnia in a three-way showdown that would make the Flaming Lips proud."

- John La Briola, Westword Magazine

Orbit Service's debut album is, well, a debut album, with minor production flaws, overly indulgent stretches, and slightly uneven songwriting. In a nutshell, the band would do much better on Songs of Eta Carinae, which does not mean one should skip Twilight altogether -- on the contrary. It has a fair share of good songs and the uninterrupted flow of the track list gives the impression that Randall Frazier and consorts already had a clear idea of what they wanted to do. This album attracted many comparisons with Pink Floyd and Radiohead. Were they deserved? Yes: Frazier's voice does fit somewhere between Roger Waters and Thom Yorke, and the group's long, spacy instrumental stretches evoke the sedated psychedelisms of mid-period Floyd, but such references put thwarted expectations on the album and pigeonhole the band. You cannot be in a hurry to appreciate Twilight: things move slowly and the quiet, murmured vocals must be extracted from the dark accompaniment. Highlights include "Dark Orange Sunset," "The Seven Rays," and "Thought You Should Know" (although the latter would have benefited from some judicious editing), but these songs lose part of their appeal if they are taken individually -- the album is very close-knit, which, due to its depressing mood, makes it a demanding listen in one sitting. Still, Twilight is a good first attempt at a sound that would come to fruition on Songs of Eta Carinae. Start with the second album, and then come back to this one if you need more orbit servicing. ~ François Couture
