The Words 05:10
lyrics
buy track
The words That spew out your throat Tend to hurt the ones around you So cower and hide You know it wasn't right (What you said Did you mean it? What you said) So sniff it up Choke it down and suffocate I live a lifetime per every dream What happened to the nights we spent watching lightning? It just goes to show that you never know What's happening behind the scene Sometimes you don't need words at all... The words you don't even bother to say Speak volumes that what you did say couldn't reach The words you never bothered to say Are reflected by this porch light air Alien days, caught up in the world of seeing Senses new, something to make worth being With nothing real, nothing new You might ask "what's the point of making do?" But you're never around (But you're never around) And you never want to be (And you never want to be) But the way your green eyes set me on fire (But you're never around) It makes me want to sit here and wait (And you never want to be)

lyrics

Walk across the floor Over the clothes Open the drawer There's the last yellow bullet It came flying (It came flying) In the dark (In the dark) Rapid speed (Rapid speed) I couldn't see (Couldn't see) Grab it Open it Rehydrated Sweet flavors from the Maid's last Minute

about

The A-Side from this single, "The Words", is going to be on our forthcoming untitled LP. It is a first for us as it features a greater input from the other members of the band, with Cam writing an entire guitar part and handling vocals for a good amount of the song, while Noah tackles a vocal part for a verse. The B-Side is a rerecording of an older song, with some slight changes to structure. I am excited to release what we've been working on as I think it tops everything else we've done thus far.

Much love,
Sam
