Lion Trail Absolutely love this album. I really like the keys, the horns, the grooves and tone that sets this album apart from being just another rock album. It has both power and an atmosphere to make it something even more special to me.
some of the lyrics hit close to home as well.
The performances are great, and the mix of it all has a certain tone throughout.

Anyways, brilliant stuff! Favorite track: Cold as Snow.

©ough©ool The keys & horn play is absolutely fabulous. Plenty to love on this eclectic rock effort

I love that they put the lyrics as the cover art to each song as you play... Favorite track: Happy to Be Here.

Two Ghosts 04:14
December breezes and frozen ground New bruises feelings found So I melt into you Sickly skin and a salty taste Give up the thrill of the chase So I melt into you Broken glass and a fire in the sky There's just no passing you by So I melt into you Memories of rain and endless walks Shifting blame and heartfelt talks Still I melt, yeah I melt Under the lights in a foggy street Two ghosts where we used to meet So I melt, I melt

Different faces will scan the room Hold tight as you fix your costume Shadows casting on open windows A crowd gathers to see your intro Fake the smile as you fix your lipstick No one has to know that you're homesick Eyes brighten as you open the door You're not alone anymore Our lives are repeating Same warnings I'm seeing Caught up in your headlights Stuck in place you're screaming "I'm happy to be here" Adjust to the dark find your place Keep the forced smile on your face Cold concrete and dead air to breath You listen as you clench your teeth ("I'm happy to be here") With blood on your fingers you draw ("I'm happy to be here") A picture of your tragic flaws ("I'm happy to be here") Turn your head little white flash ("I'm happy to be here") And I'll see you in the morning Our lives are repeating Same warnings I'm seeing Caught up in your headlights Stuck in place you're screaming "I'm happy to be here" Our lives are repeating Same warnings I'm seeing Caught up in your headlights Stuck in place you're screaming "I'm happy to be here"

I'm at home 3am Waiting on a message from a friend of a friend Is it true? Are we through me and you Piece by piece we fall apart Nothing to say you haven't heard I can't undo what I've done Seven days then seven years Watched you grow grow grow through all these years Through all these years Picked the pieces and made them whole The cracks the cracks are still on show Through all these years 7am and I wake alone to a cold snap In a loveless home Stiff drink my only embrace I witnessed a death last night Of two souls entwined We both know I was right Seven days then seven years Watched you grow grow grow through all these years Through all these years Picked the pieces and made them whole The cracks the cracks are still on show We both know I was right I still miss you

Untitled #1 03:04
I hope you don't frown too hard As you walk out the door Such a made-up face Is made-up no more A mascara trail on your cheek To someone like you could peek At any memory and place With dreams of passion and lace Calm down calm down I'm the same as you used to be Calm down calm down There's no words you could say to me Still we wait for your cold steel stare to say "I'm someone like you" "I'm someone like you" Suck the air from my lungs Take the life from my eyes With your arms open wide Safe from your constant lies Calm down calm down I'm the same as you used to be Calm down calm down There's no words you could say to me Still we wait for your cold steel stare to say "I'm someone like you" "I'm someone like you"

Daydreaming 01:30
Daydreaming on a Sunday morning Black coffee and frozen hands Another day just waiting for something Anything to break up this day Stuck to place with your bones Lonely nights and wandering days Please come home

There's a light coming out From under your door calling my name But it was never the same There's a sound in the back Of my mind ringing out to me Still I know It was never going to be the same Never going to be the same I'm so happy to see you And I'm sad to be gone There's a text on my phone With your picture and the look you know What it does to me A familiar thrill There's a sign on your wall With that old familiar call Still I know It was never going to be the same Never going to be the same I'm so happy to see you And I'm sad to be gone A whole lot of nothing to do A whole lot There's nothing to do A whole lot of fuck all to do A whole lot of fuck all to do I'm so happy to see you And I'm sad to be gone

I didn't want it to be this way Broken seams have given me away We both laughed at first Now we're both just a little hurt We wouldn't do those things we'd say Let the anger give us away A little piece of me is growing inside of you And a thousand times before I tried to make myself more Of who you wanted me to be If we weren't so young Could have made this work But it's all gone wrong And if we weren't so blind Could have seen the light in the tunnel But it's all gone wrong I'm the rabbit in your headlights The face you remember The drop in your ocean The last burning ember I am the thoughts in your head When you can't sleep at night And you just can't forget The rabbit in your headlights It's all wrong I'm the rabbit in your headlights The face you remember The drop in your ocean The last burning ember I am the thoughts in your head When you can't sleep at night And you just can't forget The rabbit in your headlights And you just can't forget The rabbit in your headlights

Cold as Snow 05:19
Temptation hits me hard this morning Just everything about you Look to me left and you're not The first thing that passes my mind Another daydream Of her laying on the floor Scratched she screams She's not here anymore In an empty house There's nowhere to get away from you You're so cold So cold Another lasting break in the system This isn't working out anymore Anymore anymore We've got to fight fight fight for you But the beats too loud to ignore And I can almost hear her sing It hits you hard so hard You're so cold, you're so cold You're as cold as snow, you know There's nothing here for you You're so cold, you're so cold You're as cold as snow, you know You know just what you've done Out of time out of place Out of line out of beat With my thoughts oh can't we talk Can we talk talk talk about it But the beats too loud to ignore I can almost hear her sing It hits you hard so hard You're so cold, you're so cold You're as cold as snow, you know There's nothing here for you You're so cold, you're so cold You're as cold as snow, you know You know just what you've done What you've done, what you've done

Claymore 05:47
Get up and wipe the sleep from your eyes Three missed phone calls with no "wheres" or "why's" And as the sun splits the blind it brings on a headache What will she find? "What would your mother say? If she saw you today?" What would your mother say? "I am the loneliness inside" Black coffee, white pills will see you through

All My Time 02:52
She said that "love is just a word You say when you want to get laid" It takes off the pressure The mistakes that you make We've learned all we can learn We've done everything we can do If there's a chance for us at all It's a chance that I'll take for you Loneliness is killing me But I just don't mind Piece by piece I'll build a bridge But I just don't mind I'll spend all my time with you She said that "love is just a word You say when you want to get laid" It takes off the pressure The mistakes that you make I'd have changed by now if I could It's not for a lack of trying If said I was a new man You'd know right away I was lying Loneliness is killing me But I just don't mind Piece by piece I'll build a bridge But I just don't mind I'll spend all my time with you She said that "love is just a word You say when you want to get laid"

------

"When I told you about her, you looked like a rabbit caught in a pair of headlights"
"...rabbit?"
"Yeah. It's an expression. Like a rabbit in the headlights, when you're dazed and can't react"
"...do you mean like a dear caught in the headlights? I've never heard anyone say it about rabbits"
"Oh...yeah. I hate that you're always right"
"It's a burden really"
