Another Day 04:13
Steps forward, feel in reverse. I wish there was a way to verify the choice is right. You can't stop at the start, maybe this was not intended to get very far. But I won't quit, that won't be worth it. My mind is made up, this path is decided. I am so afraid what the distance brings, or of what tomorrow holds. But I know that if I just take things one day at a time everything will be alright. Im full of hope, steel like will I know the course is rocky, but I will never yield. Distractions block progress An equal balance is the key to happiness. (x2) But I won't quit, that won't be worth it. My mind is made up, this path is decided. I am so afraid what the distance brings, or of what tomorrow holds. But I know that if I just take things one day at a time everything will be alright. Worrying about yesterdays problems keep me from facing today. The only solution is to set sail, in search of a better day.

Aftermath 03:30
A knife slips deep into the spine of the country side. Cityscapes escape their fate, swallowing their pride. Whats left to gain besides the pain of percussive lies? Upon the ground a man has found something else to take. But Ill break much like the steel sure and strong To stand tidal waves that eat us all. A mask clung tight alleves the fright of what we've done Like tearing holes and breaking molds, to burn hot like the sun Suck the fuel you stubborn mules, and see what she becomes. Apollo steals another day, we're closer to our fate. We face the aftermath of what we have done Then men will reject the blame because, "I'm not one."

Sifting through unsuitable skin to wear atop my skeleton. I am obliged to waste my time for a three lettered man. Paper thin string-bound hands filled with white envelopes dash my hopes of ever living. Slaves we are by Might and Pain. People are good at letting you down Give as much, but don't expect the same Your voice is sure, they will refrain and you'll mean well Women scream from beneath their hell While all types of humans help and as we all open our eyes What you might find comes a surprise People are good at letting you down Give as much, but don't expect the same Your voice is sure, they will refrain and you'll mean well You can trust no one to stand up on your behalf, you are it I hope that I am wrong Ill find out soon enough so stand up People are good, give them a chance Give as much, I promise Ill give it back Your voice is sure, Ill stand by your side and we'll mean well

I was crippled from the blow, given to me years ago I've yet to rise from the ash, when I burned up in my past Water seeped into my seems, I split apart in the freeze. Wind and gravel graze my face, my skeleton stays in its place. No one can save the wretch not meant to last I am the shadow on the floor, concealed beneath a brutal force Suppression tries to snuff me out, and disregards my swelling doubt If I could do what I wish, leave my life and become a myth Remain alive by word of mouth, lifting up those who cannot get out A nomad no man can resent, a heart of gold he'd give for sense. I will not fail because you know my end is imminent I will not give in to sadistic voices tormenting In the night, the color spectrum fades to black and white This absence of color does not mean there is no light But at the end of my road, when I face the dead end sign And I turn to hold a friend, only to find my empty side The pain my lack of family brings, will surely drag a blade through me And as I set I wont give up, to live and die will be enough I will not fail because you know my end is imminent I will not give in to sadistic voices tormenting In the night, the color spectrum fades to black and white This absence of color does not mean there is no light

Everything I say is an uncertainty. Its always been me. It never was we. I don't know what you want anymore Resting behind that impenetrable door. There's just no way to hold back the river. Let the tide ride don't fight the flood. In a love composed of one The notes struggle to make a chord. The words address predicaments That no one relates to because its too late. Indulge in the poison of hopeless lovers. When you're scared of the dark It will consume your heart sometimes I pretend I'm someone else. That usually makes me sad, and that never helps. Standing on fractured ground means soon i will fall down. Where were you? Where were you? Sorry is just a word, now distance hurts. In a love composed of one The notes struggle to make a chord. The words address predicaments That no one relates to because its too late. Break me down, make no sound, Leave me high and dry I don't want to hear excuses Your absent love have left me numb. In a love composed of one. (Break me down, make no sound) The note struggle to make a chord. (Leave me high and dry.) The words address predicaments. (I don't want to hear excuses) That no one relates to because its too late. (Your absent love has left me numb.)

An Anthem 03:32
The thought of love is just too much for the things I plan to do. I came out to this place tonight, now I have set my sights on you. We both know that wont be enough, to satisfy my divine lust. I gave you yours, now give me mine. That's what I payed for. What do we do with our lives, besides shuffle day by day. Living in this miserable away, the same sad hotel challenging me with hopes to get payed. The thought of love is just too much for the things I plan to do. I came out to this place tonight, now I have set my sights on you. We both know that wont be enough, to satisfy my divine lust. I gave you yours, now give me mine. That's what I payed for. I filled out my time. Yet another bottle beckons me from the counter, it stands solitary. So I put on another dirty shirt, and I get up of work. And I play the same song. Suppose that I call it my anthem.

I remember before things were hard, I had a plan to go very far everything was telling me Don't give up hope, if you do than you're through. So I sang out loud and did what I had to But life bit back and there you have the reason i quit. I don't want to see, the challenges facing me. I fear they will grip my hopes and tear the life out of my dreams. I know that I can't live without my gift to give, so despite those warnings I will carry on. I remember my very first show, nobody around hardly would know me and all the signs before my eyes said Don't give up hope, if you do than you're through So I sang out proud and did what I knew to and out there on the limb I felt the wind begin to shift. That's when I arrived. The music was loud and gave me direction, so I made a friend and we strive for perfection. We would write all night until our eyes felt heavy. I had to face the sound of possibly falling down, no one knew how scared and stupid I had thought I was. But in the end a broken glass is better than to regret the past. Ill give my all until there is nothing left. I remember how it used to be, overwhelming doubt constantly growing. That was life before, but now I'm finally sure. I don't want to see, the challenges facing me. I fear they will grip my hopes and tear the life out of my dreams. I know that I can't live without my gift to give, so despite those warnings I will carry on.

I can not stand to see this grizzly mug reflecting me. Stare too long and soon you'll find something truly disgusting. Scaring chasm, sloping spasms that I follow with my eye, oh how I pray to god his fallen angel takes my life. Leaping off of building tops or crashing into dirt Sinking leagues under the sea or trapped in pitch black caves As this path guides me back to the place where I have came You can't forget the roots, and you can't neglect the pain. Hazardous material should label on my chest. Stare too long and I'll infect innocent victims. Please steer clear, don't write, don't call, don't feel sorry for me. In the end I know I am the best worst person. Ohh, Leaping off of building tops or crashing into dirt Sinking leagues under the sea or trapped in pitch black caves As this path guides me back to the place where I have came You can't forget the roots, and you can't forget the pain. To think that I have talent unique and so profound, means that I have neglected evidence that would sprout doubt. I am nothing... A called out failure... A shell of a human... Controlled by the disease infected back when I was young, making me forever numb. Forever numb to everything... So buy it! Sell it! Make everyone in the world feel it! Cry for me! Laugh at me! and Help me plunge in my own knife! Run from what I have become, if only I had wings Tell your lover don't forget, that I'm a miserable thing...

Transition 00:42
10.
She come to me and hurts my eyes. What once was real is my disguise. The light behind my raisin frame burns a scar into my brain. I don't know when I'll be clean again but until then, she wont leave my side. The thoughts that pulsate through my mind are of life, and if I can find the time for me to develop purpose. I just don't know if this is worth it. I don't know when I'll be clean again but until then, she won't leave my side. Even though she makes me bleed, I still love her everything. The melodies that her heart beats writes a symphony inside of me and, these endless days are fracturing. My vocal chords can't form a scream. I need to break the cycle, and escape from this Shperical Prison. So I let her break me down and empty my body of sound. She felt obliged to force my fate, with her poison I can't escape. The walls are hollow with what makes me sick with sorrow. So I let her take the best I had to give. Now I make myself the king of my eternal hell! Even though she makes me bleed, I still love her everything. The melodies that her heart beats writes a symphony inside of me and, these endless days are fracturing. My vocal chords can't form a scream. I need to break the cycle, and escape from this Shperical Prison.

Night Drive 03:41
She just walked in Her eyes touched me I'm just waiting I'm noy gonna talk about it That's her I like her mouth, it's really full My hair looks so dumb "is everything okay over here?" You can't make me shake to that How old do you think she is? How old do you think I look? I was captivated at first glance I just got chills and I can't hide I don't think I can do it I don't know what words to say What do I do after I get her number? ... I'd probably still do her dead body & yes she likes sides I'm sorry, i didn't mean to leave without getting your number she's engaged

about

We came together as a band about 4 months ago. Over that time we developed a sound that is distinctly O'rchard. Themes of positivity and ambition, strife and contemplation... With a home-made garage band sound, this album is the result of that journey.
