look into the lights that came from outer space
double check your secrets
because they're probably out
until you open your eyes
you'll find the cures
for all the failures
that no one was supposed to know
I know its easier
as long as no one
talks about the things you shouldn't talk about
double check your secrets
cause you're screaming so loud
don't you cover your eyes
and you'll find the cures
for all the failures
that no one was supposed to know
no one was supposed to know
pull it in to you close
where you know you're exposed
cause the fire is a rush
it's just me and the glow
here comes the surge and the show
no one was supposed to know
you can't push back
by recieving the blow
the fire's a rush
but it just burns so slow
the surge is blurring the show
no one was supposed to know

this isn't the what I thought it would be
knives against guns and other death machines
you push aside the casualties and calculate
that trouble ain’t over til one of us breaks
where are the hands
no one is shaking
at either end
i feel like burning
the weakness of the front line
is the brihtest light in your eye
and i wanna love so i fight & fight & fight
i wanna love so i fight
where are the hands
no one is shaking
at either end
i feel like burning
don't bring it up again
i'm not coming over
i'm staying a lover
i'm damned since i don't
and i'm damned and alone
i'm staying a lover

in the shade of he ashes
conversations get heated
closing a gap between love and culture shock
on the dusty horizon
where the tidal wave is rising
the promise fades and the film is shot
if the right voice says the right thing at the right time
here is not end of the line
start the fire
everybody on the line
no one's getting out alive
it's the end of time
With our hearts still frozen
and the shock waves bursting
the ghost escapes on the flank
on the streets and the corners
the homes under water
all the churches blend into banks
if the right voice says the right thing at the right time
here is not end of the line
if the right voice says the right thing at the right time
here is not end of the line
start the fire
everybody on the line
no one's getting out alive
it's the end of time

in the front room
in the basement
behind glasses
under influences
take a picture,
paste it
the selfie stick it points at
your shoelaces
despite how we try
cause we're still here
and I can't say I
and the moment I notice
tells me I'm high
cause we're still here
and no one knows why and that's it.
there's the old flow
in a tearful river
with the obstacles mounting
on the brink of a fever
you bring me the fever
we're still alive
and I can’t say I
the impossible dream
of the ordinary lie
it tells me I’m right
just to be high
just to be high
just to be high

8-bit sounds made uber lush and dreamy. amazing texured pieces of music that tell a story with or without having played the game which is scores. plus there is a Chopin Prelude arranged for synth

great throw back, southern-ish rock with all the bells whistles and anthems you'll need to get your fix.
go to album
Youthful without pretense. Proficient without being tedious. Mature without being all "sting-ish". I know the guitar player (who is awesome)...
