Smoke Signals 06:13
lyrics

outside the cabin cloaked in snow spells above the wasteland glow leave behind your sober heart it’s never too late to start the designs of his failures are now frozen his fingers are shaky and broken smoke signals dance in the sunlight till theres nothing left but the sky just that sad simple echo in his eyes he walks through town to make a deal nothing that he sees seems real wonders should he just give up on trying to be anyone the designs of his failures are now frozen his fingers are shaky and broken smoke signals dance in the sunlight till theres nothing left but the sky just that sad simple echo in his eyes I’ve done nothing I set out to do I’ve got nothing, nothing but you and thats alright yeah that’s alright

I’m walking down the only road I see I live my life it’s the only one for me close yr. eyes girl lay down next to me no more lies, living like another useless parasite So good to see you again, I have nothing new to say You were the one who left but I’m the one who’s gone away close yr. eyes girl lay down next to me no more lies, living like another useless parasite I feel so bad, I feel so good cut up like apples in my mind oh it’s alright, i’m just uptight searching for something that I won’t ever find close yr. eyes girl lay down next to me no more lies, living like another useless parasite

When I Was Young 04:47
lyrics
buy track
why do I keep living in the dark? no blood in my veins and nothin’ inside of my heart they say it’s not over, the birds will fly back from the coast my love will then return as a red lipped ghost still I feel numb, I’m on the run when I was young I had my fun soaked up the sun, soaked up the sun when I was young, when I was young something sinister controlled my mind I found a brand new way to break the ice I cursed the flower trees who gave me life the world was still asleep when I passed by now I feel numb, I’m on the run when I was young I had my fun soaked up the sun, soaked up the sun when I was young, when I was young

Don't Give In 06:53
lyrics

you say you want to leave but where will you go? you say you don’t believe but what do you know? when I see your face again it’s razor blades in the snow I got a vision in my head that I try my best to follow oh the days are, passing you by watch the rain fall, from the morning sky when all your thoughts seem shallow dark and grim don’t surrender don’t give in I got the message in the street, no I didn’t trust a word the voice seemed close yet far away, it’s speech was dumb and slurred to my left, up in the air was a silver floating bird across the street I saw your face and then my heart was cured oh the days are, passing you by watch the rain fall, from the morning sky when all your thoughts seem shallow dark and grim don’t surrender don’t give in last night I took my car out on a moonlit ride with no set destination, just a cluttered mind in the cold air I found my friends, smoking and drinking wine I felt strange like the ghost of someone who already died oh the days are, passing you by watch the rain fall, from the morning sky when all your thoughts seem shallow dark and grim your deep inside yourself and no one else can swim don’t surrender don’t give in

Serpents 04:32

no time to think it over lets make it to the other side you know I know you want to your tired of drowning all the time your phantom lips of solar will crumble like some castle wall your sitting in the bedroom see the debris float down the hall I guess I’m having fun we got a message from the setting sun and all the serpents cry c’mon kiss those clouds goodbye white lights of these distorted dreams are spilling over so it seems my mind is moving much to slow my head is filling up with snow no time to think it over lets make it to the other side you know I know you want to your tired of drowning all the time I guess I’m having fun we got a message from the setting sun and all the serpents cry c’mon kiss those clouds goodbye

search outside look for the sign I’ll take it in and make it mine you’ve got the power, I’ve got the power of dreaming tell me what you want and I’ll try to repeat it cup of tea drink me grand twist the paper in my hand turn it into something thats worth seeing soak up all the things that I believe in pulsing rhythm in my viens is it pleasure? is it pain? pour out river make the banks be better it flows on and on it flows forever kiss like lilies in the palm of my hand the silver lips in the promised land kiss for forgiveness, kissing to forget the feeling turn everything it is into all I’m seeing

Start Turning Around 05:02

stuck in the wasteland waiting on the cars drive fast like some never ending star oh ya start turning around start turning around start turning around with your head to the ground and your brains spilling out you start turning around waiting on my lips for kisses psychic nonsense so defensive now you looked into my eyes you didn’t like the other side you found now that he’s takin’ over there is nothing less than sober so elusive you’ve become but you are not the only one oh I can’t recall the day when my heart just flew away spells above the wasteland casting down the rain see the guru girl she’s open in the lane oh she starts turning around starts turning around starts turning around with her head to the ground and her brains spilling out she starts turning around waiting on your lips for kisses psychic nonsense so defensive now I looked into her eyes I didn’t want the other side I found now that she’s takin’ over there is nothing less than sober so elusive she’s become but she is not the only one no I can’t recall the day when my heart just flew away

Running Dry 04:08

it feels like I’m losing inside are they real? all these thoughts in my mind could it happen to me? is it all just a lie? could our love set us free? should we give this a try? oh baby, won’t you follow me down through the quicksand give me your hand let your feet find the ground time has found me wasting away alone on a warm sunny day oh I know I get strange when my world is a’changin’ and I’m so hard to find cause my heads re-arrangin’ so I’m waiting like a snake in the grass on the surface with no purpose hoping my love comes back sailing on a flash of light in the sunshine I’m so terrified always so tired and I know why I’ve been sinking in the quicksands of dreams gone by and I’m running’ dry

saber teeth cut up the sky slashing the clouds drip down strawberry blood in search of love somewhere in-between death and a dream you will find me oh I’m 15 worlds away my heads on holiday it’s fading, dead daises grow in the gears the fish swim in eggshells filled up with tears somewhere in-between death and a dream you will find me oh I’m 15 worlds away my heads on holiday

released October 31, 2015

"Milezo just tossed out their new album, Heads on Holiday. Like most things done with the band, the entire listen is a journey. You’ll hear songs of the psych sort pushed in the direction of wistful pop songs then off to lush gazing tracks. It’s never in one place long, offering a lot of discovery for listeners. Take a trip with these guys by streaming it in its entirety below; you won’t regret it."

- Nathan Lankford (Austin Town Hall)

"Under the guidance of creative force Miles Kelley, Milezo’s songs float between mellow pop and clamoring experimentation but rely on noisy, psychedelic rock as their stylistic center. Milezo creates songs that exude chill vibes but still burst with anxious energy."

- Bryan C. Parker (Austin Monthly)
