Tyme I ran across these guys trolling new releases. Not sure if it was the beer but MY GOD these tunes brought a smile to my face. Not complicated but straight forward delivery and I don't think they take themselves too seriously. Can't wait to see/hear a debut full length. BTW? Buy Alive as well... It's Great. Oh..... Brother! Where Art Thou? IS a great movie...... Favorite track: Weight.

Weight 02:16
pass the blame off of yourself but I won't cast your stone and pray you strike bone well goddamn I did it again I got in over my head and now I'm neck deep in my own mistakes again is this a god I don't believe in punishing me for my sins or am I just that fucking stupid after all we will not be broken by this we will not be broken when you look in my eyes do you still see the light or do you concentrate on the parts that have died I feel like my lungs are full of cement yeah, I know I'm a sinner but I've tried to repent there's nothing you can give to a hollow man except a stage, some lights, and a microphone stand and yeah we are tired and walking through hell but sit back and enjoy we've got stories to tell we will not be broken

Villain 02:35
you've got premonitions and visions of the past but what do you see on the day that I breathe my last will I regret a thing? hell no. will I take fear to the grave or will I shine like I've always been? a phoenix from the ashes of a cigarette or will I be empty like the bottles we drink from? our fountain of youth the world's not gonna hand you what you want on a silver platter go forth, dear adventurer, the consequences don't matter if life gives you an inch you take a goddamn mile the road ahead is long but the rewards are so worthwhile I let myself get carried away I let myself get carried away again if every story needs a villain I will gladly take that role if only that means I get some peace and fucking quite for once I want to let myself get carried away I want to let myself get carried away you ready to raise some hell?

take it back take it back take it back now I took too much now I'm waiting on the come down I overdosed on the feeling I got the sweetest poison that I've ever known try to hide try to hide try to hide now look away from the statues that you've torn down I can't rest the blame solely on you you know I lit the fuse, and waited for it to blow it all away and make me clean blow it all away and make me clean we had a change of heart we tore ourselves apart take it back, take it back I took too much and now I'm waiting on the come down take it back, take it back I took too much and now I'm waiting on the come down I had a change of heart take it back, take it back and just let me be and take your negative fucking attitude with you

through hell or high water, the devil or a flood nothing will keep you from pulling your head above the currents that carry you and drown you all the same the fires that light the path, and set villages aflame we are quick to kill go for the throat and spell out in blood the messages they wrote like how do we live or die and what happens in between how far can we fill the next life underneath you put the last nail in the coffin the book that tells us to love our neighbor and teaches us how to steal his land the men that preach of innocence and reach out with a blood stained hand we are quick to kill go for the throat and spell out in blood the messages they wrote like how do we live or die and what happens in between how far can we fill the next life underneath you put the last nail in the coffin you put the last nail in the coffin with this one didn't you, you goddamn son of a bitch get fucked
5.
Traitor 03:00
I tore myself apart and with what pieces I could find I built myself all over again into a creature far more kind I rewrote the last pages because the chapters were all wrong a victim of vicious circumstance but I will come out just a strong if not just a little bit bent out of shape or at least that's what I tell myself to get some sleep at night I can't say I'm not totally wrong but goddamn it all, I'm never right I'm never right so pull the pin and watch the sparks flying from the wreckage of a tired heart I pulled the short straw again and now I'm stuck at the start but what's new right? so god give me plague or just the crops that I reap give me heaven, give me hell, give me anything but sleep and when I'm all used up throw my body on the lawn I'm a traitor to the cause of letting my self move on I still can't sleep I still don't dream whatever happened to rock n roll? well it's dead like us, god rest its soul god rest our souls
