Press Quotes:
"...a savage regard for dangerous Rock`N`Roll melodies and hard hitting rhythms. Here all major Rock influences are tweaked with purpose and drive, one minute your`re long hair, leather and eye-liner, the next is a laser light fury and stoners delight - Epic possibilities for a band moving in the right direction"
-Mojophenia
"...the band’s mix of electronic texturing mixed with shifting rhythms, solid guitar playing, and contemplative lyrics make for post-Floyd space rock with enough space to move into various other sonic spaces at will."
-Vegas Outsider
“These guys came to us asking to check out their music and boy, was I not disappointed! ...they are a self proclaimed “avant-rock” band...What does avant-rock mean? I’m not sure myself but it probably means somewhere along the line of kickass and awesome”
-Music Library
"Queen meets Pearl Jam"
-Next Stop Music
"This band is true rock and roll"

when you say that i'm not the least
of your pains and troubles in need
dry your eye and i'll come around
you're my obsession
drunk on wine and choking on grief
in this gaze you'll find no relief
dry your eye and i'll come around
you're my obsession
all around you trinkets of gold
they're all around you tonight
this palm's been read and it says you'll be dead
some time tonight two lovers walk down a path
who knows what they will find?
all submissive and dolled up in red
you're all mine tonight
why do i cry when everyone dies?
i sit inside while everyone dies
all around us tonight while this love is right by your side
i could lie and say i believe in what you're telling me
but how could i know that this love you'd never let grow
so i lie and say i believe in what you're telling me
why do i cry
i sit inside while everyone dies
look at them go kicking and screaming and begging and trying to hold onto life
while i sit inside
when all is lost no hope around
some seek out what can't be found
others fade into the crowd - Track Name: When The Devil Lies
-
you've cured my apathy by lighting me on fire
the last thing i cared about was an object of desire
you could be the messiah and answer all our prayers
or you could be the pariah bringing all that ails us
oh god it's going down exactly as they planned
don't let it get you down, no
when the devil lies
you shot down everyone just to say that you're ok
and blind to the solutions well you'll surely have your way
there's a man who's watching over us
he's begging that we fall
so let's give him all the world wrapped up in a little ball
oh god it's going down exactly as they planned
don't let it get you down
when the devil lies
we could be one
and so high
ten o'clock in the morning baby, i feel alright
a mushroom cloud in the sky at noon i'm feeling alright
'cos i'm going down
when the devil lies
we're telling lies we're living lies
but we could be one - Track Name: Places Called Home
-
i hear voices in the hallway
there's a knock upon the door
but i'm quite sure they can't hear me
lying on the floor
how soon we fall
did you ever know me, did you ever know me at all?
so now, ease your pain within these walls
too caught up in life to understand this plight
it's easier to disappear and wrap yourself in flights of fancy
saving grace in decay
now just watch while the colors bleed into one
i'm not asking for forgiveness
i'm asking you to care
in the darkness ever growing
i'm a rabbit in a snare
how soon we fall
did you ever know me, did you ever care?
so now, ease your pain within these walls
too caught up in life to understand this plight
it's easier to disappear and wrap yourself in flights of fancy
saving grace in decay
when all of these nightmares fade will i be ok
with all of these nightmares gone will i be ok
cos every time i reach down
i feel these chains i'm bound to you by
but you and all you phonies won't much own me
anymore
i caught this curse from a wet nurse
she showed me the secret tragedy
now that she's gone i have become
a sweet little lamb for the slaughter
god bless you all safe from the fall
i've got you right where i want you - Track Name: You, I, Me
-
i've got a whole new plan to pack it up and go
just leave this town behind me and everyone i know
i'll sail the seven seas, i'll travel far and wide
you couldn't even stop me, even if you tried
don't stare at me in wonder you've known it all along
your path laid out before you, before you're even born
so take the time to show them, everyone inside
your defiance is what drives you
yearning to get out
so here we are again you and i my friends
you've made it all the way just to find your home
there's got to be a reason we're standing here tonight
afraid to make a move now or step into the light
just take the time to show them, everyone inside
your defiance is what drives you
yearning to get out
so here we are again you and i my friends
we've made it all the way just to find your home
here's something you can't deny
there's no time to waste
i've had enough of this life in this time and place
here's something you can't deny
that here we are again you and i my friends
we've made it all the way just to find your home - Track Name: So Long
-
so here we are, and here i am
in the light of all that's everything
i suddenly remember that i have lost it all
that simple thing that kept me here
it's nowhere to be found
love is such a game
you're up one day in certainty that things in life come easily
then oh, you almost slip
like kings and queens in dying days and those who choose to remain
just don't leave me here
and let your eyes go dark
don't let your heartbeat still
and don't let the rest of us
be the death of us
i want you madly
had it all but i wanted more
took a chance on a bigger score
and let you down
cheap shots were the start of the war, dirty sheets in the corridor
i let you down
when love turns to rust only you will fail
and when you hide from your heart
will you break down the walls
or break down when the feelings start to rise
so i left behind them, silent and alone
and swore i'd never return again
from the last temptations of our fragile, dying age
to the warm embrace of a lover's open arms
i have never lost my way
so when you hide from your heart only you will fall
and when you hide from your heart only you will fail
had it all but i wanted more
took a chance on a bigger score
and let you down
cheap shots were the start of the war
and dirty sheets in the corridor
i let you down - Track Name: The Ashen Year
-
be still my friends the end is near
of this burned out ashen year
at least we know the day is done
and we're the only lucky ones
i write my name into the sand
to watch it wash away again
looking up i hear the calls
crying out "we've lost it all"
and i cannot help but try
to keep the stinging from my eyes
a cloud arose that would not fall
it cast a shadow on us all
there's no one driving to the park today
there's no more traffic on the black freeways
i turn my back to walk away
and hear a voice behind me say
beware of those who wear the crown
they'll be the ones to let you down
and i cannot help but feel
the words i hear are all too real
the day the cloud began to fall
it's pushing down on us all
there's no one driving to the park today
there's no more traffic on the black freeways
there's nothing left for rain to wash away
there's nothing left it's all been burned away
