They're Everywhere

She wears it like it was a uniform
and maybe time is all we'll lose
and baby, they can pry all they want from you
their crime is breaking up the two
And maybe they won't like all I have for them
In fact I'll bet it all on true
They're everywhere
they're everywhere now
[Don't run away]
They're everywhere
They're everywhere now
[Don't turn away]
Through vacant eyes it's all beautiful
the way it softens up the truth
Throw down your arms tonight
It's me they want, not you
their sky's not black enough for two
They're everywhere
they're everywhere now
[Don't run away]
They're everywhere
They're everywhere now
[Don't turn away]
A band of silver lay on the ground
Two hands surround the width of a crown
(for you)

Good Friday

So gracious
Frustration
Torches held aloft
Some graces
Embrace us
With isolation fraught
But we're Holding on
Anointed are the flame
Hearts sailing
Minds railing
Remaining Rapturous
Waiting, waiting for you
Waiting, waiting for you
Come find us
We're naked
Still raging
covered in lime to stage
Some form of
Take over
Or go and start again
But we're Holding on
So brazen our desire
Is nothing
Still sacred?
we marvel at our truth
And now you will
And now you won't
Transcend this trial and this trope

Phases of the Moon
03:44
|
|||
Engaged and falling from the earth
Remaining faithful of the birth
Given the blessing of a name, the same
Christened to rise beyond the flame, i wait
Taste your breath
Biding time
Kissed by the phases of the moon
Gaining strength
Finding light
Kissed by the phases of the moon
Still dreaming, standing in the wake
Cursors of light begin to break
Electric skies that bring the fall to call
Late summer haze obscures the view no more
Taste your breath
Biding time
Kissed by the phases of the moon
Gaining strength
Finding light
Kissed by the phases of the moon
A crescent falls above the lit skyline
A cloudless sky beckons the night

Untethered
03:44
|
|||
And when you come stumble down from your safe-hold
Free form and falling out of poor faith
Still flawed and quartered along without any pause or blame
Place all of your faith in a cause that feels grateful now
And will you ever walk my way?
And will you ever turn from the edge?
And will we ever call for relent?
And will this bullshit ever end?
Of any circumstance that is let go
This tether grown shorter now by the day
And all of these fucking walls that have cluttered up my way
Too tall to see past, too broad to allay
And will you ever walk my way?
And will you ever turn from the edge?
And will we ever call for relent?
And will this bullshit ever end?
Starts to break you down
Starts to break me down
Starts to break you down alone

Cults of failure
A Meek and frail core
Now breaking underneath the cross
Sinking pale sun
Under a maelstrom
A Gesture faintly heavenward
Where the blame lie
Cuts through the same sky
And still we ever hold the sword
And still we're waiting on some word
Elusive, faded and unheard
Absolved whole and free
Pleading for sweet amnesty (On one knee)
Flawed in framework
Craven praise for
False gods, a piety of sorts
Prophets fail us
Fronts impale us
Bleed out awaiting some reward
We choose to rise and fall
We choose the mute or call
We choose the higher path
Or relive the poisoned past
In your world

Cobalt Sky
03:00
|
|||
Foreseen, forethought
Beneath a sheen of frost
Breathe deep, thawed out again
The spring cries out
Broke from a winter shroud
Forelorn and on the mend
For the fading gray
Forgone the endless stay
For the feeding light
Lost in the listing night
Under cobalt sky
And all the days gone by
Shining souls unknown
Keeping still the air to behold
To reap, to sow
Far from the peace that's known
Listen, silence amends
Be still, don't weep
Gaze toward the solemn keep because
This grail, Christens again
An arresting haze
Cut by a ceaseless blaze
Where the destined find
Just where the truth resides
Where then the darkness falls
And where the wars disarm
All Those that steal away
In search of better days

Ice cold, all told
Now seems is where we are
Unknown, eyes closed
Do dreams betray?
We've taken every pain for these wounds
Bled and dried
Fire healed and cauterized in kind
Sutured tight
Stars that fall in vain
Scarred by an acid rain
Is this the elegy of our love?
For the grace of all
To heed the heavens' call
Is this the elegy of our love?
No time exists
We breathe beyond the grid
No scheme proceeds
We'd not agreed
Here in the seething arms of a world
trite and cruel
We move to struggle from this swirl
Of silent screams
We'll wait no more

Immaculate
03:40
|
|

And as you fall in my arms
and when you're placed in my arms
Something has brought us to a silent empty place
to fill the void with our warmth
and forgive the day
Rise up from where you are
Step forth, a lighted path within immaculate refrain
I feel the breaking dawn
Spring forth from where you are
Suffered the spoils of fate
As our beacons light the way
And when you've released your harm
And as we'd tread toward the storm
A squall of blinding torrents and frigid sheets of rain
Emerging, our sole reward
To forgive the day

Like Hell
03:17
|
|||
all across the board
held out against our own
hopes to avoid the threat of empty homes
plug in dependency
the calm of despondency
a stand-in electric soul
no need to leave my home no more
like hell they'll run
with fading conscience
hold fast it's on the way
evading sun in our waking hours
still wasted on the way
up on the wall
bold type for all to see
bask in the glow of our self-celebrity
what was the last you heard
the fall of the outside world?
a touchscreen of modern art
held close against your heart
and just know
We were so pure?
Are we so cured?
Oh Lord, Good God, you've gotta be joking now
like hell we will go racing forward
or backward on our knees
our stake in it defines an error
a fine staus update

Cloudburst
03:42
|
|||
False starts, debates of a course here
stone zealots alone
stark pillars of faith, too bold or unknown
Four score and no more as the time breaks
forced open the door
Gaze now at the places we'd tread before
When you break
when you open up your sky
as senses fade and phrases subside
When you break
when you falter at the sight
ascending in defense of the night
Thunder, a flame in the rain grow
Full senses alive
Cloudburst, a grain of our truth arrives
Arms flail in depths of their gray light
cries muffled to low
Deeds marshaled in line with a world they've sown
When you break
when you open up your sky
as senses fade and phrases subside
When you break
when you falter at the sight
ascending in defense of the night
Held below
Colored panes
Shatter cold
And I taste the breaking glass with you

Across the Break
03:13
|
|||
This keep, neck deep
in all the ebb and flow
Now lie in wait
Exhausted at the tow
Unrest, at best
Engaged none the less
At war, untoward
Silence at your behest
And on the hallowed ground we've lain
Seen again
Absent of artifice, disdain
No soul to blame
Linger in ethers of another time, another place
Hangs in the air across the break
Submerged in strife
The advent of a life
Both sides collide
An arbiter arrives
Torn by the past
Remnants of sorrow last
Your voice, your choice
In this a die is cast
No harm, no foul
No need to run from now
Unlearn, in turn
Pulled by a distant sound
In dreams, it seems
Devise a simple plan
With ease, it's seen
Not hard to understand

GRANDEUR Connecticut
"...a punchy and quite edgy drive along a distinctive, darkened and noisy take on modern-day post-punk that amazingly merges with the scratchy, emotional Psychedelic Furs’ Richard Butler-like vocals; the energetic pace, the vibrant and piercing razor-sharp guitar lines, the penetrating intensity and melodic immediacy defined a fierce, heartfelt and exciting new band to keep a close eye on." ... more
