You like a large crowd in a small room It gets pretty loud It gets pretty loud It's like the eve of something that happens And I can only make it look like I'm waiting for you And I can only make it look like I'm waiting for you Standing up straight like you're not allowed Standing up straight like you're reaching out But you're on another wavelength And I've already come alive You always take your time Whatever's going on And I can only make it look like I'm waiting for you I can only make it look like I'm waiting for you You like a large crowd It gets pretty loud

You stunted But your upbringing is over It was a mistake coming here But I was worried about you I'm always worried about you There are thoughts that seldom survive There are thoughts that seldom survive Translation, Careen Translation, Careen There are thoughts that seldom survive There are thoughts that seldom survive Translation, Careen When you're falling asleep Do something else with your eyes Do something else with your eyes It's not fun at all It's not fun at all when you're When you're an idiot with an acoustic And you're outside on a nice day There are thoughts that seldom survive There are thoughts that seldom survive Translation, Careen Translation, Careen There are thoughts that seldom survive There are thoughts that seldom survive Translation, Careen When you're falling asleep

I've turned into someone that stares Don't mind me, but if I were you I'd find A safe, safe place ... You pretend to forget my name You, you pretend to forget my name And if I were you I'd find And if I were you I'd find And if I were you I'd find Myself a safe, safe place ...

It always sounds like a good idea But I've never had a good time here And all the while I'm ready to go Are you gonna keep testing me? Are you gonna keep testing me? You're trying to stop me And it seems to be working And I love you But I'll cut you in half Are you afraid of making mistakes? (Come up With Something) (Come Up with Something) Are you afraid of making mistakes? Well, you should be You're trying to stop me And it seems to be working And I love you And I love you But I'll cut you in half But I'll cut you in half But I'll cut you in half But I'll cut you in half

I don't care if you feel the same way, Kate You're always on my mind You're always on my mind It's what I mean to say, when I say "Hi" And I'm getting around to it You're coming around more And if you're looking for me, then I'll be looking for you I don't care if you feel the same way, Kate Cause you're always on Cause you're always on You're always on You're always on my mind You're always on my mind (It's what I mean to say, when I say "Hi") You're always on You're always on (You're coming around) You're always on (More) You're always on my mind (If you're looking for me, then I'll be looking for you) (And I don't care if you feel the same way)

Do you still stay up late Cause I don't know anyone else who does anymore And it makes me feel And it makes me feel like I am alone Things are really bad at home So I don't go back there anymore And it's easier than you think Sometimes it's over Sometimes it's over Sometimes it's over I was destroyed but I didn't die But I don't remember surviving at all And I had an idea That you could come by And I wouldn't try anything at all ... Sometimes it's over Sometimes it's over Sometimes it's over

You were ready to listen But it might be too late for you You were ready for something Honey. Im so proud of you You can put your head back now It's not allowed but it's alright Cause I'm looking out and I can see for miles And miles We should collide We should collide You're getting away with murder And you make it look right And if you were on fire You wouldn't let anyone put you out And I would know why I would know why And I would know why We should collide We should collide We should collide

I'm fucking up at work I'm never there on time And I can't get out of bed I can't get out of bed Today was strange I'll tell you all about it when I get home But you're not gonna be there When I'm inside out But you're not gonna be there And it's everything always And all at once And it's only getting easier To leave here quietly And it's a fair fight If you're winning But I'm inside out But you're not gonna be there Sounds to me like You're in a lot of trouble You're gonna go to your house But you're not gonna be there You're not gonna be there You're not gonna be there When I'm inside out When I'm inside out

Why do you sound Why do you sound short of breath when we're talking How come you can't keep up when we're walking Cause it's all gonna start running itself soon Cause it's all gonna start Cause it's all gonna start It's not as dark as it used to be It's not as dark as it used to be But you really used to light up the room You really used to light up the room Why do you sound Why do you sound short of breath when we're talking How come you can't keep up when we're walking Cause it's all gonna start running itself soon Cause it's all gonna start Cause it's all gonna start It's not as dark as it used to be It's not as dark as it used to be You really used to light up the room You really used to light up the room You really used to light up the room You really used to light up the room

My brain is trying to find a way out of my head You can see it on my face I'm glad it was you who was there when it happened We need more people like you in our lives We need more people like you in our lives Why is everything getting moved around? Why is everything getting moved around? Why is everything getting moved? I'm glad it was you who was there when it happened We need more people like you in our lives We need more people like you in our lives We need more people like you in our lives

about

Ctrl-Alt-Del is the second offering from New York City three-piece The Diggs. It expands on the aesthetic laid forth by their well-received 2005 debut Commute while refining their trademark big sound with leaner and more concise arrangements.

The tone of the record is frantic and at times haunting. However, there is a glimmer of hope embedded throughout, where disillusion is broached with nostalgia, and angst is juxtaposed with optimism.

The result is twelve cinematic songs about redemption.
