I dream about you all the time
I think about you every night
You’re on my mind
You’re silent when I call your name
You’re not alone, I’m alone
This fever dream has cooled
Into the softest reality
I see it in my sleep
There’s somewhere
Where we could be something
Out there
It’s only waiting
A million stars
With satellites just like ours
Somewhere we’re asleep together
In a night that forgets to end
I believe in that
I want to believe in that
I want to believe in you
Like a favorite star
But where you are
Is a place too far
So I wait for sleep
So I can see your face
I live in dreams
In a hollow place
Ashes and dust
(What could have been—)
Ashes and dust
(Would we have been—)
Ashes and dust

Across a new ocean
I think I hear you far away
I sing a song
And put it in a bottle
I give it to the interstellar waves
The future’s nice
In the starlight
Dear stranger
Somewhere in the Milky Way
Will my message reach you soon?
I’m terrified it will
I’m terrified it won’t
I wanna see the light
Of a different moon
The future’s nice
In the starlight
Hello, are you out there
Hello, I’m here
We want to make contact
We gave you a code to crack
Please write us back
The future’s spooky
In the starlight

Meet me in the woods
In the black woods
By the creek after dusk
You will bring your knife
I’ll bring my crown
My golden crown to you, down to you
I know you believe in me
I know you want this for me
When I’m in your arms I start to see
Everything I will be
When I was a child
The stars made me cry
They were so far away
I dreamt of a tower
Sturdy and strong
Tall enough to reach the gods
Astronomy
Mysterious geometry
They told me of a prophecy

There’s been a sudden silence
Oh, I can hear you again
Singing from the other room
I can’t ignore it anymore
It’s from before
My time has been carved hollow
My bedroom ceiling turned to glass
A window to the past
No one knew me like you do
I’m so selfish, it’s true
Maybe I needed you
Maybe you needed me
To be cruel
There are things I want to tell you
There are things I’ll never say again
If I open the door
Will it be like it was before?

Tonight
My windows are open to the breeze
The world smells so green
Like the summer I followed you around
From party to party, all across town
I was a flare fired over the sea
A flame on a match, too close to the finger
You were cool cool water
In the summer…
I smoked cigarettes
I was young and deathless
You looked like a goddess
In a candlelit painting
You had a stillness
You had a sadness
I wanted to sound
On the last night
We went to the sea
The wind on the cliff
We moved down,
Down to the beach
Oh, it was agony
Oh, my sweet mystery!
I couldn’t breathe
The wind ripped the words from me
On the last night
We went to the sea
The wind on the cliff
We moved down,
Down to the beach
Then you
Moved down
On me
Down on me
And then we —
In the daylight
I made myself
Turn it into a dream

I’ve been walking all alone
Down the streets, looking for it
Walking till the sun hits the road
I’ve been dreaming long, dreaming slow
Dreaming of a world beyond this day
Beyond the blue
Tell me you’ve seen it
Tell me you want it too
Tell me you’ll fight for it
Tell me you need it too
The world has gotten so cold
I can’t seem to catch the code
I know there’s somewhere where it’s summer
I see its colours in my sleep
Oh I’m lonely and I’m longing
For the place I glimpse in dreams
Do you want it
Will you walk with me
Do you want to see
Do you want it like I do
Will you find me there
Tell me you’ve seen it
Tell me you want it too
Tell me you’d die for it
Tell me you—tell me you—
Tell me you’ve seen it
Tell me you’ve seen it too
Far beyond
Far beyond the sea
There’s a forest
Where someone waits for me

Tonight, each dark shape is a dead animal. On the roof, I saw the corpse of a dog at my feet. Then a deer. Its legs dangled over the ledge.
I talk a lot about a lot of things. Self-hatred, UFOs, loneliness. I talk and talk and talk, and still my bedside is expectant.
Whose shape would I call forth from the night, if I had such a moonly power? I thought of them today. They told me a fable about the philtrum. We kissed, in the basement of the chapel. Not them, though I grew thirsty for their eyelashes. Nor him, the blue-eyed exam. Nor her, the forlorn marble.
Perhaps you, you latest daythought. It is summer, which is our season. I drank too deep from the cup of my memories. The bottom was only a mirror, and I couldn’t peer past myself. To find your shoulders, turning away.
No, the thing I would summon has nothing like a name.
It is nothing like a person. Though a man once wore its shadow. And brimmed me with desert stars.
It is nothing like a place. Though I have walked the rain-black woods. And the mud is still on my feet.
It is nothing like a time. Though it is often past midnight, and full-mooned.
It is probably death. But I don’t want to die.
I don’t want you, I want your peaches. The ones we ate in your wide white bed.
The bitter skin split between my teeth.
My whole July turned sweet.

Do you remember her?
The girl you said you were waiting for
In the summer
In the dusk
We were hungry
We were so young
If you could
Do you think you would
Go back?
Now I remember you
The boy waiting at my door
Will you touch me
Like you did?
In the dark
Again and again
It feels like yesterday
When I loved you
When I thought
That I needed you
It was the hottest day in July
I said let’s go on a drive
Out past the city lights
Past the fields, deep into the night
Roll all the windows down
Play that good music loud
Oh yeah, that’s the sound
The stars in the sky
Your hand on my thigh
The green in the air
The wind in my hair
Do you remember her?
The girl you said you were waiting for
In the summer
In the dusk
We were hungry…

This album can--and should--be revisited in aeternum, and Posing for Cars should be incentive enough to ensure you do. The pacing and build of the track pulls you in, and the three minute outro sweeps you away.

The four songs on this EP are smoky and mysterious, wreaths of synth surrounding Kiara NGL’s whispery vocals.

Throwback pop with gleaming synths, chiming guitars, solid melodic hooks, and a cinematic sense of scale from North Carolina's Rachel Kiel.
