Dish Of Rings I wake in fright With designs For a Doomsday chime It paints your mind It takes your time Shaking snakes of faith I wait for play Trade in the day Old bones in new oil I twist the lens I "like" the trends Clocked out ready to blow You unfold me No one told me I'd never be neat again Lover's Lamp My love in amber Lover's Lamp My love in fossil (Music: Raglani/Sparks Lyric: Raglani)

State Of The Station When you no longer sleep And life crashes into dreams And you lay down your eyes And we feed on words that make us whole again Do you understand? Love? Love Damage? Damaged love? I'll fill you in with that which breaks shame So you can take and live again I'll dress you up as the doll you want to be So we can play with trusting Do you understand? Love? Love Damage? Damaged love? When it's no longer deep And you wring every surface clean And you lay down your arms again And you feed on lies that question everything Do you understand? Love? Love Damage Damaged love (Music & Lyric : Joseph Raglani)

The Lives In You Owned by a life before I knew this With customs so alien Holding your light enthuses me To a pursuit of desire Sow your tears to me shoulder Take my limbs and my Karma Drive me to bliss and back again Harness me to your whimsy Answers too real for memories The dancing air disolves Wax phantoms in electric light The Lives in you Arise to haunt me (Music: Raglani/Sparks/Thomas Lyric: Raglani)

I Miss The Earth Intentions slip on time Curse this crime I will leave you So take it in The time is thin I kiss the sigh from the grind and gift the prize The shape of love is catching light In dark minds Time won't tell Yet loud are the bells How loud the bells The shadows inside Give me air It gives us air Caught in glass Held by eyes Held like ice Through the windscreen The night rolls in A dream made skin The shape of love is catching light In dark minds (Music: Raglani/Sparks Lyric: Raglani)

Through Windows Over Lawns The rains drew the springtime long Through green-grey moods Through windows over lawns Stretch the lace Stitch the flame A locket heart holds many things Our light cast shadows like stain glass windows The colors that shape me The moment becoming I saw you You saw me We saw the same star fall I wish I may I might He takes me in a gallery And shows me things I'd never seen Pull down the screen Light up my dream Pull up my dress Fill up my seam Our light cast shadows like stain glass windows The colors that shape me The moment becoming She knows He dares They will the nighttime fair We saw the same star fall How far and how long ago? I'll follow you into you / falling in love again (Music & Lyric: Raglani)

about

Temporal Marauder is a fictional band that became a real band. Helmed once upon a time by the legendary French synthesist Jean Logarin for its Spectrum Spools debut, Makes You Feel. The project recently, if temporarily, solidified into the actually-existing duo of Joseph Raglani and Erica Sparks. Brought together by their mutual appreciation of the haunted psychedelic lounge music of Broadcast and Stereolab, this second iteration of Temporal Marauder was bound from the outset to focus its attention on how our attractions and affections are mediated by the fantasy of what two people can share, while remaining limited by the reality of what they can’t. In keeping with the filmic bent of their inspirations, The Shape of Love explores the ways that every love story is also a mystery, tracking the bittersweet struggle to let the present weigh more than the past. It captures the unsettled confusion of romantic ascent with descent, and the foreboding premonition of how endings tend to embed themselves in their beginnings.
