lyrics

I wanted to relate to you with all the filters off
Speak to you directly from the heart, but
Honesty is reckless running naked waving arms down the hall
Pulling all the paintings off the wall

How can I explain it when I still don’t know myself
Which picture is a proof or wish remembered?
A vision sent in black and white and moonlight silver slips
Down the sidewalk
Flashing from the streetlight back to dark
The shadows in the study never talk

What’s truly known?
What’s truly known? You know but you can’t say
Memories will fade and paintings take their places

What desires animate these archives?
What wanting climbs its way back up these walls?
This gallery is haunted by a longing to possess and guard
Stories changed to suit my restless heart
The truth a moving target after all

What’s truly known? How can you be sure?
What’s truly known? You know but you can’t say
What’s truly known?
Stories always change
The truth a moving target after all

What’s truly known?
What’s truly known? You know but you can’t say
What’s truly known? How can you be sure?
What’s truly known? How can you be sure?
Memories will fade and paintings take their places

In the early days, musicians checked in and out of the Motel as needed. But in 2018, the lineup solidified with the addition of Jack Petracek and Scott Roever alongside Steve Scariano, the only other permanent resident of the Motel. ... more
