1. New Design
Lyrics by Austin Roberts

V1:
You know that I tried to hold it all before. But everything collides it's shaken me to the core.

V2:
I'd like to tell you all my fears walk on out that door our direction is unclear can I pull out of this war.

Pre-chorus:
It's hard to leave
All this behind
Even for love
But I've got to try
It is hard to carry
This heart of mine. this heart of mine

Chorus:
I'm ready for something
That's bigger and louder
brighter and faster it's your new design
But I need persistence
To run in this race
it's rarely convenient
To live for today

V3:
I can feel this weight
That I've been trying to let go
it is holding me back
bringing me to the floor

Bridge:
There's love in the dark
and beauty at night
When the stars come out to shine
The world looks bright

2. Rocket
lyrics by Austin Roberts

Verse 1:
I want to really live
I want to really die
Of every passing chance so I won't miss

B section:
Cause nothing's made sense
On this side of the sky
I just want to be
High enough to catch your eye
So I'm waiting on a rocket to ride

Chorus:
Come up through the atmosphere
I've been trying to get away from here
This is a moment for the ages
As I let go of fear
Will you take me from here

Verse 2:
To trust is to live
to fear is to die
For the first time I know I am free

3. This Ends With Me
Lyrics by Austin Roberts

Verse 1:
She got so lost inside the noise
Of beating drums to her own way.
Now all these boys can't make her feel
Lovely anymore.
I do not want to make this choice
If black is white and white is gray.
A single voice out in the cold
Of separated souls

Bridge:
We've got to recognize
We're nothing by ourselves
Love can be a bitter thing
And put God on the shelf

Chorus:
Revelation, come to me
Transformation, set us free
My generational decree:
This ends with me
It ends with me.

Verse 2:
I'm seeking out the voice of truth
To align my heart with yours
But I'm seduced by this excuse:
"Love is all you need."
Peace and love might change the world
But freedom still starts wars.
So what it seems is right and wrong
Is nothing anymore.

4. Jubilee
lyrics by Austin Roberts

V1:
We've reached the line
And won't pull back
It's our chance to define it's our chance to define

What life is worth
It's more than this
Now is our time now is our time

Bridge:
When all the stars
Fall from the sky
Just remember just remember

Chorus:
Redemption is coming near
It's jubilee, it's jubilee
It's time to prepare
For jubilee
This is jubilee

V2:
We're dropping bombs
With every song
We're fighting til the end we're fighting til the end

We will not stop
'Til we have won
We've waited far too long we've waited far too long.

5. Undone
Lyrics by Austin Roberts
Music by Eustace

Verse 1:
I know we can get there
It's not so far away
We can ride on angel's wings
It will be our test of fate

Bridge:
It's just a game we play
To get to the other side
It's a game that we play
And we hope for an easy ride

Chorus:
Doubt falls with the rain
And the colors fade to gray
Doubt falls with the rain
A mother's birthing pains
Doubt falls with the rain
Our questions are the same
we cannot be undone

Verse 2:
Believe in tomorrow
To forget about today
We've always been trying
To make our minds change

6. BREAK THE DAY
lyrics by Tristin Roberts
Music by Eustace

Verse 1:
You've been sitting lifeless there while the world flies on by
At a million miles per hour you cannot catch the ride.

Bridge 1:
Looks like apathy has a hold on you,
The sun is going to rise. Will you let it set?

Chorus:
What are you waiting for?
What are you looking for?
When all is done what will you say...to break the day.

Verse 2:
Come on out, take a breath of fresh air.
So much time has flown on by.
Since you've stepped out anywhere.

Bridge 2:
Somewhere on your way, you'll find yourself in grace
Something's got to break, just throw your pride away

Chorus:
What are you waiting for?
What are you looking for?
When all is done what will you say...to break the day...to break
the day...

7. FAR AWAY
lyrics by Tristin Roberts and Andrew Goff
Music by Tristin Roberts

Gone for so long
Runnin' away
Debating aloud in your mind how you've pursued your own ways
All the mistakes

Yesterdays entries
hoped for better days
but lately facing your thoughts equates a slap in the face
hard to erase

Been far away
far away
Hard to stay
far away

Kept your room in place
and honored your name
hoping maybe one day forgiveness might lead to blameless embrace
It is the final day

Been far away
far away
But I'm here to stay
and I'm here to say hey

Yeah it's bringing me down

There's love in the dark
There's beauty at night
When the stars come out
The world looks bright

2. Rocket

I want to really live
Closer to the edge
Of every passing chance so I won't miss

Cause nothing's made sense

Thanks everyone!

Alright, since we're taking so long to get tracks out to you we are posting random things like videos of us rambling on about the usual intelligent subjects (Chinese Food and Blues Clues) and of course the video displaying some truly incredible rock-star dance moves (you know you loved it). So this is Austin (guitar/keys) and I am usually the more reserved one in the band as you may have noticed. I depend on these great guys in the band to hold down the show most of the time while I am pedal dancing, switching amps, swapping guitars, and tweaking my guitar to sound like it's being broadcast from space. We are doing everything we can to make these songs sound huge even though they are home recordings.

In fact, we are recording most of these songs at my house where there is a detached room perfect for a small recording studio. Of course we share the space with my wife's and my camping equipment, old childhood photos, family heirlooms, and other assorted storage-space-worthy items. On the wall, I've posted some old vinyl records from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, and of course U2 to offer inspiration from some of our heroes. These days it's cold in that room, but we don't really notice - we are creating.

It's great squeazing into this bedroom sized room as a band and recording for hours on end together, wrestling with how Tristin should sing a line of a song just right, making last minute phrasing changes to the lyrics, and dreaming we're like the Beatles as we try to write the perfect vocal harmonies like they always managed to do. William and I talk all the time about mic placement and whether we should try recording my guitar in a big church sanctuary, a gymnasium, a barn, or even next to the clawfoot tub in the bathroom of my house to get a different ambiance. Which amp, which guitar, which effect, what melody, what microphone, what keyboard, what room??? We love these questions as we create these demos for you to enjoy. Even after we have posted the songs on our myspace page, we have gone back to remix and even rewrite parts to hone these songs. We are creating these songs for you and we hope you enjoy them as we begin to release more songs in the near future and hopefully an EP of official tracks this spring. Until then, stay tuned to the updates and random postings from Eustace.

Love you all and have an amazing Christmas,
Eustace
