Second Look
03:50
|

dark falls
silent halls
mind springs to action i see things in the shadows
i hear things i don't understand heart beat starts to double
i start to run
blood on my mind
what can i do
where can i hide
feeling so cold
i don't know why
bump into walls
calmness runs dry
things in the dark scare me
cannot take a second look
scared shell
black hell
tightness in my throat this self made delusion
my eyes are bulging super wide can't control this confusion
panic ensues
claw at the walls
cannot go straight
lost in the halls
silence a scream
lucidity falls
this fear equals pain
swallowing all
things in the dark scare me
cannot take a second look

Interesting

ground speeds along below
we rush towards the site
black choking smoke
obscured to satelite
from the bombs and barricades
little green ants pour
protecting our future
securing it for war
helicopters hover
for nuclear assault
duck and run for cover
can’t predict the result
i can’t seem to look away | interesting watching them
like a pay per view event
the carnal drama unfolds | interesting watching them
watch the bodies burn
our military convenes
to cover the evidence
we have no choice
but believe what makes no sence
who are the victims
when the propaganda machine
opens full force
to assault your tv
helicopters hover
for nuclear assault
duck and run for cover
can’t predict the result
i can’t seem to look away | interesting watching them
like a pay per view event
the carnal drama unfolds | interesting watching them
watch the bodies burn
we watch the burning bodies plead …

Machine

a) dormant
inst.
b) active
we are operational !!!!!!!!!!!!
static flickers we awake
this killing machine activates
the lights turn red inside my head
and everything dilates
my jaws open wide
i’m death come inside
there is no truth revealed
your fate is sealed
good or bad irrelevant | this duality killing me
no one is innocent | everything that i see
there is no mystery | i create and destroy me
stand before me
nothingness none to fight
work is done all set right
this work of art cycle restarts
let there be light …
alpha - omega
revelation revealed

Buried Alive
04:05

perhaps a bad decision
to gamble with emptyness
mathematics precision
removed all profits
the desert breeze is cool tonight
champane has made my head feel light
the city lights are streaking by
i'm not sure why
buried alive | the smell of damp sand
buried alive | so heavy on my back
buried alive | ink spots fill my head
buried alive
a big wheel rolling
no way to bet safely
so far behind I can't stop
viva vegas baby!
the desert breeze is cool tonight
champane has made my head feel light
the city lights are streaking by
i'm not sure why
buried alive | the smell of damp sand
buried alive | so heavy on my back
buried alive | ink spots fill my head
buried alive
buried alive !

Spiral
05:20

as i was forsaken
ruined humiliation
rotted in saturation
eternal damnation
i watch you blur
and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality
this vortex pulls
me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape
down and far away
i spiral !
you left me bleeding
fatal blow beating
subserviant kneeling
insanity feeling
i watch you blur
and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality
this vortex pulls
me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape
down and far away
i spiral !
i never thought i'd hate the taste
there has to be a second way
i watch you blur
and start to fade from view | i am no longer a part of this reality
this vortex pulls
me from this life i know | somehow i had hoped to escape
down and far away
i spiral !

Softbox

i still feel born every day | all new all fresh
you keep the malice things at bay | hold tight keep safe
you push influences away | hold tight keep safe
on this narrow path i stay | all new all fresh
protect me from the self killing thoughts
but keep me trapped inside this softbox
in this tower built of fears | want to see more
you've kept me sheltered all my years | hold tight keep safe
protector even from my peers | hold tight keep safe
i see relections in your tears | want to see more
protect me from the self killing thoughts
but keep me trapped inside this softbox
who'll shield the sun from my eyes
this part of life is much to bright
who'll shield my psyche from the lies
while I'm hiding in plain sight
i must see this life of sin | need to break out
you must fight both out and in | hold tight keep safe
so difficult your wearing thin | hold tight keep safe
i am hollow let life begin | need to break out
protect me from the self killing thoughts
but keep me trapped inside this softbox
who'll shield the sun from my eyes
this part of life is much to bright
who'll shield my psyche from the lies
while I'm hiding in plain sight

Driven
07:21
|

jangling in my head
echoes of reason
conflicting issues
mental trap is sprung
wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing
you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past this place
deep within this vein
mining broken thoughts
strange there is no pain
bite through rough spots
wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing
you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past this place
not talking to walls
babbling in my ears
incoherent state
still i'm judged by peers
talking nonsence
nonsence talking
i can't see it
i can't say it
sledge hammer fragile
voices still too true
if i break these ears
now i can't hear you
wishing
hoping
hiding
knowing
you take me in | you push me there
you push me out | into dispair
just like a game | pieces displaced
driven insane | i'm past that place
I'm not talking to walls
I'm not talking to walls

Rise Up
04:07
|

feels like i'm drowning
this sea of sin
i'm bruised and bleeding
but won't give in
i'm not that strong but i just cannot lose this fight
i'm not that good but i strive to be in the right
over & over & over again
cough up the blood and collapse
over & over & over again
i fight back the pain & rise up
eyes burning swollen
breathing blood
clinging sweating fever
this black flood
i'm not that strong but i just cannot lose this fight
i'm not that good but i strive to be in the right
over & over & over again
cough up the blood and collapse
over & over & over again
i fight back the pain & rise up
rise up!

Softbox Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
After jamming forever Kurt and Todd finally decided to record a cohesive collection of songs. This ended up being 2008's Fallen CD. After scouring the city for like-minded musicians, they found none, and after a few gigs the band became a project again. Exactly one week after Interesting was sent away Jordan became our guitar player and the band is currently playing songs from 2011's Interesting. ... more
