Unhinged 02:55
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been here before, expecting different outcomes Held captive by these fingers And when the trigger pulls, and I’m left without a mind It's the apathy that lingers I can’t escape my own mind... I didn't mind being alone, until thoughts crawled in my dome And I'm seized by the cringe I’ll need you down the road, to be with someone when it gets cold When my thoughts begin to tinge... My whole life becomes unhinged I want to make to a move, but these muscles just won’t listen Seized by the fear embedded I guess that I’ll just wait and construct a new approach But my confidence is shredded I’m withering away... I didn't mind being alone, until thoughts crawled in my dome And I'm seized by the cringe I’ll need you down the road, to be with someone when it gets cold When my thoughts begin to tinge... My whole life becomes unhinged I said I didn't mind being alone, until thoughts crawled in my dome And I'm seized by the cringe... My whole life becomes unhinged

I guess I find it strange That the words that we exchange Will mean nothing in a day And I’ll see you in my dreams As you’re unstitching all the seams In my introverted brain I may be a bit withdrawn And I’ll be gone before too long But between you and me There’s 500 Miles of desert And this long string of letters And I wish you were here to see... I’ve been staring at the night sky for far too long Just trying to find the lights And I’ll stay out in the desert with just the moon to share the night 'Cause in a starless city, the skyline will suffice And though we meet in common places I’m a stranger that is faceless But I keep finding yours Through different ages and different times You don't seem to recognize You’re the reason I come back for more I’ve reached an all time low And I'm just trying to get back home To be without a friend, again To inhale this green sublime To shift this awful paradigm And wait for the stars to show again I’ve been staring at the night sky for far too long Just trying to find the lights And I’ll stay out in the desert with just the moon to share the night 'Cause in a starless city, the skyline will suffice And I need to leave 'Cause this place is not for me I need to find my way back home And I’m sick of being high Just watching time pass by And the sense of being all alone I’ve been staring at the night sky for far too long Just trying to find the lights And I’ll stay out in the desert with just the moon to share the night 'Cause in a starless city, the skyline will suffice

Sweet Inebriation 03:50
lyrics

I was a lost vessel, drifting aimlessly through space Attracted to the pull of your gravitational embrace A sight for sore eyes, you were a beautiful wandering moon Oh what a shame it is that we would be disjointed oh so soon Nevermind, let's just get drunk to pass the time In sweet inebriation And even though we get annoyed, we stay together to avoid The lonesome obligations I was a lost atom, drifting through the great beyond Searching for a mate to share a stable covalent bond A flash of lightning, you were unbalanced just like me And even though we fit, I’m not sure that this is really what we need Nevermind, let's just get drunk to pass the time In sweet inebriation And even though we get annoyed, we stay together to avoid The lonesome obligations

Grey Skies 03:05

I’ve come back here to settle my debts Come to bury the hatchet, to relive the sunsets And you seemed so sad, thought I forgot my roots? Thought I skipped the growing process, just collected the fruits That I will sell...things haven't changed back here in hell This isn't goodbye my friends 'cause I know that we'll meet In heaven when we die in the end and I left this city in a blender set too high Got way out of dodge and looked towards bluer skies These skies are grey...but I thought about them everyday On Friday nights I’d hang out with my friends Not thinking about the future 'cause I thought it'd never end Now I’m here meeting up with my friends in town Looks like we didn't grow up, we're still screwing around The peace we still disrupt, things haven't changed here all that much This isn't goodbye my friends cause I know that we'll meet In heaven when we die in the end and I left this city on a blender set too high Got way out of dodge and looked towards bluer skies These skies are grey...but I thought about them everyday

Rinse, Repeat 04:06
lyrics

Brought together to be torn apart Living in moments that you won't recall What will happen when the music stops? Abusing your body in the name of fun Coming down and coming undone Can’t escape your demons but you still run Just enough to get a buzz... You hate yourself so you sever the ties Can't remember all the so-called good times They aren't your friends, they're just here for the ride The wagon you fell off just left you behind (You fell behind) (You fell behind) (You fell behind) Can't remember what we’re celebrating Losing yourself, never returning Cause you can't deal with reality Keep digging your grave since it doesn't fit you Pushing me out with your brash attitude You only live once with one life to lose Just enough to have an excuse... You will feel better when you get your fix Don’t fool yourself, you’ve become an addict Sobering for the next celebration A poison that’s killing a generation (A generation) (A generation) (A generation) Names don't matter and faces will blur It’s too late by the time that you learn The only way you are tolerable... Surfing from one bed and onto the next Need an excuse to be honest Drinking to ignore the regret Just enough to take off the edge... Chasing your footsteps, become your shadow Adding more color will eventually dull Repeating the cycle that you have been shown Cause you can’t stand a glass half full (A glass half full) (A glass half full) (A glass half full)

For Lack of a Better Person 04:50

I wish that you could see Your every move takes a part of me But the one you need I'll never be Desire begins When words end Did I make us up inside my head? Pain is my drug, so whats the dosage? Take me in and break me down Who I was doesn't matter now Everything you are just Sickens me, and I’m facing demons in myself A broken mask hides a glass shell A moment in heaven for An eternity in hell I find addiction is An unusual thing Convinces you that its Something voluntary I'm tracing back the lies To find the truth Funny how they always Lead back to you I'm holding onto hands that hold me down Take me in and break me down Who I was doesn't matter now Everything you are just Sickens me, and I’m facing demons in myself A broken mask hides a glass shell A moment in heaven for An eternity in hell Take me in and break me down Who I was doesn't matter now Everything I am just Sickens me, and I’m facing demons in myself A broken masks hides a glass shell Am I really in heaven or Just daydreaming in hell? Just take control and take it all I tried to run before I crawled I never land after I fall Just take control and take it all I tried to run before I crawled I never land after I fall

S.O.S. 03:49

I'm following my dreams And the oceans calling me To it I pray for steady waves Not breaking at the seams Sailing through a blue bliss When the winds begin to shift Then the waves rise and I capsize Consumed by the black abyss Hurricane... Searching for survival atop of these waves Intervention divine, I'm rescued in time As I feel myself pulled from the fray... I shouldn't be alive An ambitious neophyte Without a clue, trying to Make waves in foreign tides This compass points towards home But at the first sign of coast I see flooding tides, no sign of life, Dead bridges I must atone Disarray... Searching for survivors beneath these waves I’m praying to god, but he won't respond Treading in the wakes that we made... ...Consumed by the black abyss Washed away... Searching for survivors beneath these waves I’m praying to god, but he won't respond And I wish that I shared their grave

Inhibitions 03:13
lyrics

Here we go again, another war inside my mind (Which side will will win this time?) When I think of things that I want to say and do... (If only you could move) A future that I know I'll never find inside your eyes Can't help but fantasize. But it’s just not meant to be, there’s something stopping me It’s just my inhibitions...again. These thoughts don’t want to hide, but I force them back inside (You do this to yourself) And it’s hard to tell what’s real when I shelter what I feel (Maybe you should get some help) I’d get out of this hell if I was someone else I’m tired of being me But I’ll stay here in my shell, a comfort zone that I can dwell It’s just my inhibitions… And I’m feeling petrified Watching life pass me by Can’t seem to tell the difference between Living and waiting till we die A future that I know I’ll never find inside your eyes Can't help but fantasize. But it’s just not meant to be, there’s something stopping me 'Cause it’s just my inhibitions... (Cause I'm just your inhibitions) (Yeah I'm just your inhibitions) Yeah it’s just my inhibitions...again.

As Good as it Gets 02:45

I’m waking up to a brand new day It's like I never really fell asleep in the first place We fight the clock going down that road Things are never that bad when you're not alone I’m taking pictures in my mind I’m doing everything just to say I tried These feelings are so surreal, just like a vivid dream As I’m flipping through the pictures of these distant memories And I ponder the idea every now and then And I realize things can’t be the same again I’m waking up to a brand new day So why does it feel like nothing has changed? We fight the clock going down that road But we've gotta face the fact that we're getting old I’m taking pictures in my mind But my best days have already passed me by These feelings are so surreal, just like a vivid dream As I’m flipping through the pictures of these distant memories And I ponder the idea every now and then And I realize things can’t be, Can’t be the same again These feelings are so surreal, just like a vivid dream As I’m flipping through the pictures of these distant memories And I ponder the idea every now and then And I realize things can’t be the same again

Turnout 08:15
lyrics

He’s been here way too long, a stranger to this town He doesn’t want to grow his roots into this ground In the place where angels fall, he's finished his penance Staring down the tracks, clutching deliverance 'Cause he’s tired of being trapped He’s waiting to detach His drive has been all sapped He won’t be looking back She left her home to see the city made of lights In days of malcontent, she finds heaven in the night Uprooted from bad soil to a place where she can thrive Staring down the tracks, dreaming of new life And she’s straying from the map She’s making her own path As she’s speeding down the tracks She won’t be looking back A sigh of relief and screeching wheels, time ripped asunder Between departure and arrival they found each other Vapid people in a plastic town, the paradigms destroyed Sneaking glances for eternity... Beating hearts in a lifeless void ...But the moment would pass A Bittersweet advance Dividing at the track They both looked back...

Cosmonaut 05:07
lyrics

And I never got the chance to tell you how I felt And you didn’t really get to know me all that well You know It never happened because you left Me down on Earth Every night I tried to find you when I looked up at the sky I stayed up waiting for the planets to align 'Cause I wanted to follow i just needed a sign That it was time And I’d gladly spend my life, chasing after you Just to hear you say that you feel the way I do So here I go, I’m shooting out past the moon I'm just a cosmonaut and I'm chasing after you And I had no map to guide me, no compass to follow I let my heart lead me where I had to go I sailed across the stars on worlds I had never known Searching for you I had to leave my life behind to realize my dreams And giving up on everything I knew wasn't easy But I guess that growing pains were necessary I'll see you soon ...And I thought that I had heard, a familiar sound I saw your face again when I turned around I couldn't believe what I finally found I'm just a cosmonaut and I'm lifting off the ground For you I walked across the interstellar I know that we'll be this way forever And our adventures are far from over I'm just a cosmonaut and I'm heading back to Earth I'm just a cosmonaut...and I'm chasing after you I'm just a cosmonaut...and I'm lifting off the ground I'm just a cosmonaut...and I'm heading back to Earth

about

Mastered with headphones. Headphones recommended.

We started playing music in middle school. After graduating high school, we both moved far away from home. Beginning in May 2014, we collaborated over the internet on some music. After we both moved back to Reno, we sat down and worked on our first album.

"Ain't a Bad Way to Go" is a snapshot of our lives before and after these major transitional periods. It tells the story of how two people can go through similar situations and come out completely different, and the realities and fallacies about the lives that we could have lived.

We decided to take a sort of minimalist approach to this album, even down to the album art. It was recorded entirely in Mark's bedroom with simple recording techniques and equipment.

We hope you enjoy the ride. Don't be afraid to let us know what you think and keep checking back for updates in the coming weeks. We will be adding one more track very soon and possibly more!

Thanks for listening! If you like it, spread it!
