Unreleased Songs

The Max Levine Ensemble Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.The Accident

Lyricist:Lou Reed

We had learned to survive, to get past the accident
When we both emerged alive
We heard, 'You share these lungs, now learn to breath'

When we first came through the night
Did you expect to come out all intertwined?
So messed up and mangled and unaligned?
I couldn't see how we could come out any stronger
But we had learned to

When we first came through the night
We learned we'd have to divide
But I could tell, though I couldn't understand why
The muscles you took for yours were also mine
No I couldn't see

And I've had friends for whom loneliness
Was an un-fulfilling, consuming monster
An ever expanding void the size of the universe

And I know first hand how it can feel
When you're torn wide open, those scars still bleeding
It's somewhere I once hoped I'd never have to go back to
But sometimes you have to, so we have learned to


2.Pink

Lyricist:Alex Kramer, Joan Whitney

I saw you on the train today
And you were wearing pink
You all were wearing pink
Who marketed pink? Who sold you pink?

Well, there's about a million variations
There's about a million paths
That light can take to reach your eye
In terms of depth and saturation

Could it be coincidence
You all in one particular hue?
And that's when I knew, we'd be invincible
In our power to see and in color

And they say, 'We've got no options'
Past what they market to you
They say, 'We don't but you know we do'

And I saw the pink in your cheeks
When you were excited to see me
After weeks, it was a pink
That could have not been intended

To have meaning outside of that place and context
It was a pink that was real in our lives just then
So never mind the colors that they're selling you

Look outside, there's colors and they're all around
Given all the choices to be chosen from
Fuck cliché, there's beauty in the autumn leaves
