Second Look 03:50
lyrics

dark falls silent halls mind springs to action i see things in the shadows i hear things i don't understand heart beat starts to double i start to run blood on my mind what can i do where can i hide feeling so cold i don't know why bump into walls calmness runs dry things in the dark scare me cannot take a second look scared shell black hell tightness in my throat this self made delusion my eyes are bulging super wide can't control this confusion panic ensues claw at the walls cannot go straight lost in the halls silence a scream lucidity falls this fear equals pain swallowing all things in the dark scare me cannot take a second look

ground speeds along below we rush towards the site black choking smoke obscured to satelite from the bombs and barricades little green ants pour protecting our future securing it for war helicopters hover for nuclear assault duck and run for cover can’t predict the result i can’t seem to look away | interesting watching them like a pay per view event the carnal drama unfolds | interesting watching them watch the bodies burn our military convenes to cover the evidence we have no choice but believe what makes no sence who are the victims when the propaganda machine opens full force to assault your tv helicopters hover for nuclear assault duck and run for cover can’t predict the result i can’t seem to look away | interesting watching them like a pay per view event the carnal drama unfolds | interesting watching them watch the bodies burn we watch the burning bodies plead …

Buried Alive 04:05

perhaps a bad decision to gamble with emptyness mathematics precision removed all profits the desert breeze is cool tonight champane has made my head feel light the city lights are streaking by i'm not sure why buried alive | the smell of damp sand buried alive | so heavy on my back buried alive | ink spots fill my head buried alive a big wheel rolling no way to bet safely so far behind I can't stop viva vegas baby! the desert breeze is cool tonight champane has made my head feel light the city lights are streaking by i'm not sure why buried alive | the smell of damp sand buried alive | so heavy on my back buried alive | ink spots fill my head buried alive buried alive !

as i was forsaken ruined humiliation rotted in saturation eternal damnation i watch you blur and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality this vortex pulls me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape down and far away i spiral ! you left me bleeding fatal blow beating subserviant kneeling insanity feeling i watch you blur and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality this vortex pulls me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape down and far away i spiral ! i never thought i'd hate the taste there has to be a second way i watch you blur and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality this vortex pulls me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape down and far away i spiral !

i still feel born every day | all new all fresh you keep the malice things at bay | hold tight keep safe you push influences away | hold tight keep safe on this narrow path i stay | all new all fresh protect me from the self killing thoughts but keep me trapped inside this softbox in this tower built of fears | want to see more you've kept me sheltered all my years | hold tight keep safe protector even from my peers | hold tight keep safe i see relections in your tears | want to see more protect me from the self killing thoughts but keep me trapped inside this softbox who'll shield the sun from my eyes this part of life is much to bright who'll shield my psyche from the lies while I'm hiding in plain sight i must see this life of sin | need to break out you must fight both out and in | hold tight keep safe so difficult your wearing thin | hold tight keep safe i am hollow let life begin | need to break out protect me from the self killing thoughts but keep me trapped inside this softbox who'll shield the sun from my eyes this part of life is much to bright who'll shield my psyche from the lies while I'm hiding in plain sight

Driven 07:21

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

feels like i'm drowning this sea of sin i'm bruised and bleeding but won't give in i'm not that strong but i just cannot lose this fight i'm not that good but i strive to be in the right over & over & over again cough up the blood and collapse over & over & over again i fight back the pain & rise up eyes burning swollen breathing blood clinging sweating fever this black flood i'm not that strong but i just cannot lose this fight i'm not that good but i strive to be in the right over & over & over again cough up the blood and collapse over & over & over again i fight back the pain & rise up rise up!

Softbox Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

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
