lyrics

So don't tell me "I can do it"
Don't believe your lying mind
"I will never let you down" is a myth
as are the words to "want" and "try"
As I can laugh and cry into the night
As I can wonder where you lie
As nine swords may keep you awake (at night)
a pair of cups keep me alive

Under the anvil again
turn a phrase for the escape
No break for those who betray their-
every urge to come away

Don't tell me that which is felt
when all I find is frozen sea
Movement lay staggered in time
finding breadcrumbs in a dream
As I can laugh and cry into the night
As I can wonder where you lie
As nine swords may keep you awake (at night)
a pair of cups keep me alive

Under the anvil again
turn a phrase for the escape
No break for those who betray their-
every urge to come away

Under a lock and key
Now numb the thoughts enough to feed the hole
Under a lock and key
Now numb the heart enough to be at home
Under a lock and key
Now find the strength enough to turn a stone

Under the anvil again
turn a phrase for the escape
No break for those who betray their-
every urge to come away

about

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
