So we're starting to get a bunch of emails and messages asking us what happened to our lineup so it's time for us to release our official statement.

I started this band back in 2002 with a few very close friends with one purpose: To create music and try to the best of our abilities to reach out and relate to troubled kids by sending a positive message through our music. That purpose still stands today and has been the drive, passion, and fire of this band that has allowed us to keep doing what we do in spite of the fact that it has made us dead broke and struggling to survive at times. We've made some heavy sacrifices to keep moving forward but God has been good and has constantly given us the strength and patience to keep pushing forward without losing site of the goal that we have. This band has been family since day one and that will never cease. As you may notice, there have been some recent changes in our line up. The simplest way to explain the reason for the lineup change is just to say that there was a difference in direction for 3 of our members and the best thing that we could possibly do was to go separate ways with them in order to maintain the focus that we originally started with. Even though the split has been heartbreaking and nerve racking, it was all for the better and we're all still very good friends and support each other to the fullest.

With that aside, we'd like to introduce 3 new members to our family. RyRy & Aaron from  formerly of HOLYFIELD(who recently disbanded) and our close friend AJ, who some of you have already seen fill in on the keys during our last tour that Andre could not make.

Expect a new Music Vid of HERO coming in about 4 weeks along with a new site, tour dates, and of course, we'll be back in the lab writing new material as soon as we can.

We hope you understand the decision that we've made. We love you all and you mean the world to us. Thanks for reading.

Hello all you lovely lovely lovely people. Our CD is now out in stores though you may have a bit of problem finding it in some areas. So far a good place to find it is at Barnes & Nobles, Borders, and Virgin Megastores. One guaranteed place to find it is online. Feel free to get it at any major retailer online and most importantly for all you ipod lovers....ITUNES. Holla back! -Enik

shipping to the UK is just a dollar more. So you wont be able to order the cd through our store because it doesnt take orders from the UK. So you'll need a paypal account. Login into your paypal and send "$11.00 USD" to btpenik@gmail.com. Make sure to write out your shipping address and let us know that you're ordering a cd. We'll send it right out as soon as we recieve payment! thanks!!!

BURNING TREE PROJECT LYRICS for TIME AND COLOR EP

 

DEAR VALENTINE

 

Take a picture of the scars inside

Am I alright?

Cuz you've infected every thought of mine

Dear valentine

 

I hear you say…

In my head it won't it won't go away

I hear you say…

 

Goodbye

The lights are shining closer

Telling me its over

Goodbye

The picture of you leaving

Complicates my breathing

 

Now, I'm the one you left behind

And that's fine

Cuz you have nowhere left to hide this time

Sweet valentine

 

Shine a spot light to catch you walking away

Leave me in the dark like a stain in the shade

Tell me that you care just to throw it away

This is how you tear me down

 

 

 

HERO

 

Say something to slow her hands around my neck

Just cut off her arms

Throw my pills into the well we drink

 infect the words that we say

 

can you hear me now?

why can't you hear me?

 

Save the day

Come take this all away

Come on now

 

My hearts on the floor

What are you waiting for

Come on now

 

Indecisive thoughts running through my veins

Come wash them away

Slowly screaming calling out your name

Come save the day

 

If we find what we're missing

The space that needs filling

The strings' still embracing my neck

We'll hold up each but look for another

To see if our words will connect

 

What are you waiting for?

 

 

HELLO

 

Hello, hello, hello

So he said goodbye

Kind of like that night you said the same thing on my phone

 

I know, I know, I know

That you love him still

You just hate yourself because he left you like a kill

 

I still waited here

You were singing "no I'll be fine"

I still waited here

Always for you dear

 

Keep me moving

I'll be waiting

Keep me loving you

 

You said he's sorry

But you're still buried

Beneath the trees that grow to cover you

If he can't find you

Then I'll still guide you

Beneath the trees that grow to cover you

And uncover you

 

I know, I know, I know

That you're back with him

The cycle starts again

Now that you've left me like a kill

 

 

 

FREE

 

Taken away with everything you believe

Watch what you say

They're closer than before

On my own

Crushing every word

Some day you'll get what you deserve

 

Oh my God, oh my God

The walls are closing in

The lines begin to follow hollow veins beneath my skin

Glorious, Glorious

Your words beneath my lungs

Consume the wounds that carry my own cross to find your Son

 

Losing yourself with every breath that you breathe

Watch what you do

They're knocking at your door

One by one

Repeating what you heard

Someday you'll get what you deserve

 

Be still love

They're right above you

Find another way

Find another way

Find another away

Find another away

 

Free to breathe again

You're free to move again

You're free to live again

You're free to move

 

Free to move again

Free to live again

 

 

 

PUT YOUR HELMET ON

 

You and I will never feel the same, the same

I don't want to hear you say my name, my name

 

Not that you would care

Just go away, just go away

You were never there

Just go away, just go away

 

On and on we'll fill the empty space with clay

Carving all our simpleness away, away

 

On and on the flies catch fire

Wrapped within the rusted wire

Bled until the wings recede

This is what you do to me

 

 

 

LESS OF ME MORE OF YOU

 

Tell me what's real

Tell me to feel inside

And we'll find what's wrong with me tonight

The incisions were made

Stitches were sewn and now

We don't have to feel like we're alone

 

I'm dying over you

And it's aching…

I'm dying over you

And it's breaking…

 

Say to them, this is the day

We'll say your name

Remembering every little thing

Say to them, this is the way

We'll feel the same

Remembering all your suffering

 

Savor the words

That fly through the wires inside

And you'll guide the lonely lost tonight

If we capture the thorns that bleed in our hearts

We'll find everything that we've left so far behind

I'm dying over you

Teach me to love again

I'm dying over you

Breathe in my life again

I'm dying over you

Less of me, more of you

I'm dying over you

Fill me with living truth

I'm dying over you

I'm dying to love again

I'm dying over you

I'm dying to live again

I'm dying over you

Less of me more of you

Teach me to live again

I'm dying to live again

Less of me, more

Less of me, more

Less of me, more of you

Less of me, more

Less of me, more of you

I'm dying over you

I'm dying to love again

I'm dying over you

I'm dying to live again

I'm dying over you

Less of me, more of you
