jcoonrod Caught these guys at Melody Inn in Indianapolis a month or two ago, and they were badass. Loud, hooky, intense - they should be everywhere right now. Really tight live band. Favorite track: Drag.

Red Potion 04:57
lyrics

I keep your shadow on my wall in a frame The room is dark, shallow, with windows leaking rain I'm inside you, parasitic to your brain Sweet love is spilling down the drain Sweet love I thought I'd find you, sweet love I almost had you, sweet love I couldn't catch you, sweet love I thought I'd find you I'm seeing fire coming out of your eyes I'm seeing fire I missed the last train I'll find another way home

When all of this is over I will try to start shaking off these candy-coated lies I'll show you what I really want Top down with all hell before our eyes kitty corner from the store of my demise I'll show you what I really want I hope no one has the heart to save me I'll have ya if I really want ya Shake hands and then we'll catapult our ties stop searching for a reason we're alive I'll show you what I really want Looks back with a smile, I can't hide Caught that in the corner of my eye I'll show you what I really want I hope no one has the heart to save me I'll have ya if I really want ya White coats told me take it easy tried that but nothing better frees me Hung back to make sure no one sees me Choked on the guilt that left me breathing Held tight to everything that haunts me and I can't close my eyes because my mind is racing Shake hands and then we'll catapult our ties stop searching for a reason we're alive I'll show you what I really want Looks back with a smile, I can't hide Caught that in the corner of my eye I'll show you what I really want I hope no one has the heart to save me I've been feeling all kinds of crazy only when I'm with you my baby

I cannot be the one you knew and grew to love Those ticking hands caught speed again it wore me down dull I cannot see what lies ahead this broken road We'll meet again in hell my friend and stop feeling cold Take time to stare into the eyes of fractured souls There's more to learn, there's more to feel when life's taken toll My shivered hands reach for the land of joy and hope This rugged sea of bitter dreams takes me down whole I walked into this trap with you I'll always be the one to say to say that I told you so I've never shown this side to you removed my mask and dropped the charade I cannot be the one you knew and grew to love Those ticking hands caught speed again it wore me down dull I cannot see what lies ahead this broken road We'll meet again in hell my friend and stop feeling cold

Long Way Home 03:53
lyrics

It's nice to see you learned to start again Ignite the matches to burn the city that burdened you Scared to be the one who finds the end First to drown into the pity that conquers you Dodge the arrows sent from filthy pens Crack a grin and wrap your wounds in gauze and glue You wish to feel yourself outside your skin Pull away until your feelings wander to Snap the stems, they'll grow right from the bend Turn away and come right back, they're fully bloomed Compunction lingers until the bitter end Learn to function with the sunken eyes of blue You talk alone inside your pretty head Cremate opinions and pass the judgements that follow you Slur the words you always truly meant Find the courage to move you further the past of you All this time stuck in a rut release and then cast the hook For all the blinds that bled the sun, well here's to you moving on The breath dissolves the taste of loaded guns it carries on into a place where we belong The path is clear once we exceed the past we light the wicks that destroy the world that made us fools

Kitchen Talk 04:20
lyrics

Tossed and turned, I think I've lost a connection I found a light in the moments I bleed Gather bones into a perfect collection Find a closet, let the skeletons breed A stranger stares when I see my reflection Turning stones that leave me no kind of lead Paving roads without a sense of direction Look alive, lock the cage on your fear and explode Sinners raise your glass I have a confession My rowdy bones tickles, shaking like leaves Howled tones out of blurry complexion Gentleman, steady hands, aim with ease and unload A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour just leave us a fog of hope Another morning and I'm riddled with questions Dim the lights, I have no place to be Puzzle pieces lost, I'm left here with sections Home alone feeling sick of the greed that implodes A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour just leave us a fog of hope Red-handed caught in a barbed wire fence but I cannot sympathize if I see no threat This war zone leads me straight into a safe part of town My flight's landed onto a hardwired sense and I cannot synchronize all these feelings just yet Shift to neutral, shove me down the hill and just let me roll A night is on the rise to swim in dangerous seas while we're floating in the skies to momentary relief because when a cloud of bliss decides to rain it will pour just leave us a fog of hope We all got something to hide Not all pretty underneath A death letter's folded inside A party that you cannot leave

Loathing 04:04
lyrics

Marching with the herd they slave on their own Dropping any thought within the ring of a tone Racing out the clock to wear out their hands dreaming of the days they had their feet in the sand I do want to take the bullet for you anyway Let's see clearly you know I'm not the one you're waiting for Operator error, there's nothing to see Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe Take this only with a grain of the salt Sit there smile while I wait in the dark Scratched the surface 'til my fingers would bleed hanging onto hope that holds the weight of the sea Ring the service bell I'm ready for bed dreaming of the days I couldn't see only red I do want to take the bullet for you anyway Let's see clearly you know I'm not the one you're waiting for Operator error, there's nothing to see Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe Take this only with a grain of the salt Sit there smile while I wait in the dark Pack up 'cause I'm ready to leave different people, other places to see Dragged down when I'm ready to go different places, other people to know Marching with the herd they slave on their own Dropping any thought within the ring of a tone Racing out the clock to wear out their hands dreaming of the days they had their feet in the sand I do want to take the bullet for you anyway Let's see clearly you know I'm not the one you're waiting for Operator error, there's nothing to see Head is spinning like you wouldn't believe Take this only with a grain of the salt Sit there smile while I wait in the dark

Familiar Strangers 07:48
lyrics

I shiver in the warmth and hide away from all my friends The birds they sing so comfortably I sink into the bed I'm trapped inside myself I try to escape but I keep circling and wandering until I lose my brain I've learned to see a better way It's time to breathe and clear the air My mind it feels so tiredly awake The distance feels okay to me I know they're all just fine Ceiling waves and shuffled feet I've lost my sense of time A strange approach follows the door opening I hear the rude abrasive shouts and static waves float in the air I've learned to see a better way It's time to breathe and clear the air My mind it feels so tiredly awake I'm wide awake my spine is tickling down to my fingertips I'm dead asleep the pressure on my head is killing me I wanna break I'll find a way I've learned to see a better way It's time to breathe and clear the air My mind it feels so tiredly awake

Crooked 03:10

Cut the corners just so I could see there's no turning point or tracing back Took our seed to bury underneath Grew it tall and then I found my axe I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know Maybe we just drifted out too far Bite my tongue and lock my cheeks Ruminate until I never sleep Take this from me as far as it goes It takes a fool to want to notice me Train of thought is never holding back Taste and swallow down the master key I hope my head is just a circus act I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know Maybe we just drifted out too far Bite my tongue and lock my cheeks Ruminate until I never sleep Take this from me as far as it goes It takes some sour time to find the sweet Give these heads a chance to fall and roll It took so many guts, I couldn't eat My brain's on fire I think it's about to blow I wanna see you smile, running back, but I don't know Maybe we just drifted out too far

Until We Meet Again 03:16
lyrics

The silence has broken, abide all your laws I found you a carriage to carry your flaws I'll build you this city and leave you my ghost all of this time I've been here taking notes When you're feeling alone I will send you a call A voice that will echo through desolate halls I'll build you this city and leave you my ghost all of this time I've been here taking notes With a thread and a needle I made you these clothes A ladder to climb when you're spirits are low I'll build you this city and leave you my ghost all of this time I've been here taking notes And I'm back back in the scene with an axe for the trees Well I'll build you this city, a fire for warmth, a place you can hide when you fear the unknown I found you here sleeping with letters I wrote Soften your breathing, the storm will soon go I built you this city, and left you my ghost I'm back from the road I will carry your load

Sunburn 04:25

Stale to the taste I know your conscience is real I never dwell on the past my senses gave up on feel Taking your time while I'm losing my mind I keep my patience in line, wrapped up and safely sealed Take back the sun, bring in the firestorm and leave what you love I've got nothing to prove and I've got nothing to do so I'm staying awake I've got nothing to lose, and I've got nothing to do so I'm staying Awake Awake until the sun beats down on my head well I'm staying Awake Awake until this run sees down to the end well I'm staying Awake Can't finish the race, my motivation is ill but I won't settle for last so coat my bones in some steel Taking your time while I'm losing my mind I keep my patience in line, wrapped up and safely sealed Take back the sun, bring in the firestorm and leave what you love I've got nothing to prove and I've got nothing to do so I'm staying awake I've got nothing to lose, and I've got nothing to do so I'm staying Awake Awake until the sun beats down on my head well I'm staying Awake Awake until this run sees down to the end well I'm staying Awake
