Grounded 02:16
I’ll take the salty seas It’s easier than catching the breeze When you find yourself with arms instead of wings You’re on the ground again Rain, Rain, Wash me away Rain, Rain, Wash me away Some birds take to the air With a kind of ease that never seemed fair Throw back my head and just let it be Let this rain take all it wants from me And in return I’ll let the current be my guide I’m through reaching for the sky When you find yourself with arms instead of wings You’re on the ground again I’m gonna drown again

I’ve been trying, I’ve been trying, I’ve been trying, but I can’t hold it down And I left you on the dance floor with no one around. The sky was burning blue or maybe just black. Your lips were sealed shut hiding our tracks I hear you crying now Turned on the radio To try and drown it out And now, All the things we carry, All these things we carry That haunt us through our days While I’m Looking for an exit, Drinking for an exit, From this crowded room Just killing time. I’ve been shaking, I’ve been shaking, I’ve been shaking, but I can’t stay inside And I was lying to myself when I said it was fine. The lights were turned off or maybe just dimmed The neon sign was flashing, “Come right in.” Can’t stand the music now. Turned off the radio This time I’m stepping out.

Imbible 04:26
Wait, wait, Do we know where we’re going? Do we know where we’ve been? Stay, stay, Step right up, come on down We’ll have a drink over our sins Listen, Do we know anything? Thought into oblivion And with this next one I imbibe I cleanse myself deep down inside Forget the water, I’ll take the wine Look at the world through my eyes, these holy spirits make you blind Two thousand years is a long time to keep on drinking that same wine Wait, wait, Do you hear what you’re saying? Do you know what you believe? Stay, stay, Obey irrationally. There’re thoughts here to conceive. Listen, This is not a children’s game Where all the rules have been changed. Wait, wait, Do you see what I’m saying? Can you come to understand? Stay, stay, This is not a choice I’ve made, But a leg for truth to stand. Listen, It’s time to take our freedom back. Make free will a demand

I don’t want to hear about the weather I don’t want to hear that you’re feeling better I don’t want to taste last night this morning There’re just some things you can’t avoid. Wake up, face down The sun is shining loud In my head and in my eyes. Wake up, face down It’s time to turn this life around, But in my head its just alright. Fall through the day I’m sick of thinking ‘Bout all the pieces that don’t fit. The coffee breath, the fear, the shaking, Another day that I’ll forget.

about

Our first EP, recorded in February (I think) of 2010 with our friend Dave Reilly in his basement in Allston. Most overdubs were done in Spencer Crowe's apartment where he also mixed it. We took the tracks to Nick Bellmore in CT for mastering before releasing it at the beginning of our 2010 Summer Tour. We kind of write our songs a few at a time, this was the second batch.
