about

The voices started when he was small, but he just ignored them. As he grew older they became more and more difficult to ignore. Soon institutionalized they tried to help him, but the voices told him not to take the pills, not to obey. They were hard to ignore. But when he spotted a pen left on a table he knew how to stop the voices. How could he hear them if he had no ears?

lyrics

jangling in my head
echoes of reason
conflicting issues
mental trap is sprung

wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing

you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past this place

deep within this vein
mining broken thoughts
strange there is no pain
bite through rough spots

wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing

you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past this place

not talking to walls
babbling in my ears
incoherent state
still i'm judged by peers

talking nonsence
nonsence talking
i can't see it
i can't say it

sledge hammer fragile
voices still too true
if i break these ears
now i can't hear you

wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing

you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past that place

I'm not talking to walls
I'm not talking to walls

After jamming forever Kurt and Todd finally decided to record a cohesive collection of songs. This ended up being 2008's Fallen CD. After scouring the city for like-minded musicians, they found none, and after a few gigs the band became a project again. Exactly one week after Interesting was sent away Jordan became our guitar player and the band is currently playing songs from 2011's Interesting. ... more
