Don’t let me run Don’t let me do what I do (that's to run) Don’t let me run Don’t let me do this to you (it’s not fun) Don’t let me run Don’t let me hide Please follow me This way inside Inside my head To words Left unsaid Don’t let me run Don’t let me do what I do (that's to run) Don’t let me run Don’t let me do this to you (it's not fun) Don’t let me run Don’t let me hide Please follow me On a joyride Into my bed To girls, There instead Don’t let me run Don’t let me hide My born feelings Slowly unwind Leaving me bare To swallow All my pride Let me go, let me hide out Take it slow, so you find out That you glow, with the lights out Don’t say no, feel the fallout

I Feel You 03:33
lyrics
buy track
When I see your face My wake dissipates And I feel you I feel you When our eyes connect So steady, direct I feel you I feel you The hop in your gait So natural, innate I feel you I feel you Your walk is a song Every step sings along I feel you I feel you From afar 100 yards, I saw a beacon, I felt a feeling 50 yards, I saw you seated, engaged in meeting Hair so wild, then you... No longer your glance Spears like a lance Cause I see you Just see you You cleaned up your hair And feel so prepared I see you Just see you Don’t notice your stride My feelings subside When I see you Just see you Of course I’m repressed I quite feel depressed When I see you And still feel you I pray for the day That I finally say I feel you You feel me?

Don't You Know 03:49
lyrics

Oh don’t you know Don’t you know We had fun for a while Oh, don’t you know Don't you know Oh don’t you know I cannot try To be mild When I am tongue-tied You were the ceiling Of my lies You know that's why I yearn so hard Feelings, fast charred You wait, I press Tell me, don’t guess Card games late night First kiss feels right Say yes, say no (Hard pressed, unknown) Let me go Oh don’t you know Won't you know We had fun for a while Oh, won’t you know Don’t you know Oh don’t you know Rain, as it falls I recall Your nascent eyes Time to forget All our time I know that's why

Here Nor There 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Who wouldn’t hide it, You nor me She wouldn’t deny it You will see Gold on the inside That’s my plea I cannot decide it You-or-me Living alone Self made plan Nothing to ruse Return to find Home undefined Here nor there I couldn’t subside it Time to flee Who are you to me, girl? We will see Time is not on our side Now is key I cannot decide it You-or-me Living alone Self made plan Nothing to ruse Return to find Home undefined Here nor there

Tell Me 02:55
lyrics

Don’t leave me fighting Don’t leave me there Don’t sit and look at me with that stare Away from them all Unsure the way Sitting and spouting Don’t worry what to say I wouldn’t find it If you didn’t show I wouldn't hide it So please let me know The way that you are The way you’ve been Where will we go Where to begin Tell me how you faltered Tell me how me how you left Tell me you miss them Tell me how you wept Tell me how you love him Tell me how you don’t Tell me anything that you want me to know Tell me…tell me… Tell me, tell me I’d like to peel you like a potato Sharing will take us there

about

After a six-year hiatus, two PhDs, and a number of lives lived later, a reunion show was organized to reconnect old bands that played alongside each other in the early-2010s in Kent, Ohio. We oddly decided to write a slew of new material for the show despite the ubiquitous problem that the song writers all lived on different continents. Despite this, we prevailed. We arrived in our hometowns for an abnormally frigid winter, retrieved our trusty Juno 106 and Akai AX60, and practiced for a short day. In our typical unwinded fashion, we invited another close friend and past collaborator to join in on guitar that very day. Ultimately, maybe the old crowd was a bit too overtly greeted by the former carefree and colorful music now molded by the four cases of adulthood and aged stresses, but the same slowly aging synth lines, rigid drum machine grooves, and straight from the heart vocals were welcomely and necessarily present. These events, changes, transformations, and evolutions became the basis of Reactivities through the two years that followed recording, re-recording, and re-re-recording.
