Recognize the danger and step back from desire, When the city lights are reflected in her eyes. Understand the motives as time has no real meaning, What I can not have you will not compromise. Enchanted by the moment, lost is all perspective, A smile a touch a matching sense of truth. If I walk away I'll never know the outcome, But if I stay I have everything to lose. I'm living without her. Gotta make it without her. No doubt I'm on the way. Feels like I've been here before. No room to make mistakes. But life's not about closing doors. Unspoken messages. Either a wall or a door. Have to interpret this. Is it worth the fight anymore? When everything is new you risk and take the chances, Whether sitting at a table or riding in a car. Don't you know this feeling's temporary? There will come a day when "new" is very far. No doubt I'm on the way. Feels like I've been here before. No room to make mistakes, But life's not about closing doors.

after the crash is not the time after the shooting is not the time after the flood is not the time after the breakup is not the time why do we always act after the fact when we see the danger signs ahead of time why do we hesitate, procrastinate why do we always wait...until it's too late after the loss is not the time after the outburst is not the time after the layoff is not the time after the failure is not the time why do we always act after the fact when we see the danger signs ahead of time why do we hesitate, procrastinate why do we always wait...until it's too late after the illness is not the time after the sex is not the time after the promise is not the time after the death is not the time is not the time

No time where I am, so free to exist, Only the sense of you lies like a shadow On the snow, in my mind. I'd do it again, live life as I choose Torn by the fourteenth link, inside a square, Never fair to get that hand. Exhausted by the hope of you. My desires are my only crime. Each day denial of myself. I'll wish for life another time. I walk to the window no longer afraid of the dark, That's where I meet you now and feel the need, That always bleeds, That never sleeps. Innocuous meetings become something so much more, Adrift in a sea of attraction I can't forget, Do I repent, Or just accept? Exhausted by the hope of you. A chance to live or just survive. How to regret the uncontrolled? There's more to life than just the rules. Look at life it goes by then I try to remember what it meant, No regrets for the chance I take. If it dies, realize that there's no way back again. Burning bridge blocking every path. If I leave it alone, could I still live with myself? Surrender wondering, for certainty, How much of me, Would still be free? But giving up false hope is always the sensible thing. Would it result in achieving serenity? Could I release, And rest in peace? Exhausted by the hope of you. My desires are my only crime. Each day denial of myself. I'll wish for life another time.

about

Our debut offering is the creative result of a collaboration that seemed to come out of nowhere and have a life of its own. Our influences are probably obvious in sections of this album but we embrace them in homage to those whose music enlightened us, not in a desire to duplicate their work.

We believe progressive music can be challenging without being overly self-indulgent. We hope that at least some of these tracks will resonate with you.

Thanks for checking out our first album!
