1) DO YOU GET IT NOW?

Do you get, Do you get, do you get it now?
Looks like I lost myself again, Im lookin straight ahead without a shadow of a doubt. And I've done some things I can't defend with no regrets Im looking straight ahead until the end. I'm a lost cause you cant save me, troubles count for nothin when you're livin day by day. Why try, you can't change me nothin for your lovin I'm a million miles away. Do you get, do you get, do you get it now. Nothings really wrong with me. Do you get, do you get, do you get it now. I leave my flaws for all to see. My story's like an open book, as this chapter end I know, another will begin. Another night draws to an end, I'm happy with the medicated state of mind I'm in. And as far as I can see, nothing ever comes for free, do I live up to the standards put on me. Cause I would rather set the pace, feel that cold wind on my face. Sheltered lives dont even seem that real to me.
2) LET IT GO

I can't count the times I've tried to find a reason a why this failure by design is how we live our lives, and I am no exception. With everything left undefined and all these thoughts that are weighing on my mind I know nothing is for certain. Cause I'm not the one you used to know, long time ago. When I close my eyes I see no one waiting there for me, I'm not the one you used to know, I think you should let it go, let it go. I told you baby for the last time that the only thing I know for sure. Is that we're walking on a fine line no one ever really knows, which way to go. So here we are its a new start, another chance to build on whats begun. I got up found out myself. I had lost my head it all makes sense to me. Tonight I feel alive.
3) TAKE A NUMBER

Understand this is never what I planned I never asked to have this power in my hand to kill them where they stand. In other words I'm losing the ones so close to me.Could it be the end, justifies the means. I don't know, I guess we'll see. So tell me that the worst is over now cause I don't, I don't know. Dumb luck to get me here could mask my good intentions, have I gone to far. When they look to me and they're placing the blame for the actions and that choices that were never only up to me. I don't know what you expect me to say all I know is that its far to late to turn my back and walk, walk away. So tell me what you want to see, tell me what you want me to find, tell me who you want me to be, tell me cause its hard to define. But you don't really know what its like and you have never put in the time, so don't you tell me, tell me I dont care what you think I'm supposed to do.

4) MORNING COMES

Sometimes the words we never say are the things we can't stop running through our heads, maybe we're just better off, to lie. Hey now you better watch yourself cause some people like to get inside your brain. Don't let them try and change your ways. We will sing our song and when the morning comes we'll see things clearer. Cause we're just searchin for ourselves this time we ain't found nothin. When tomorrow comes things never seem as bad. Just keep it simple. Sometimes I like to waste away as I waste the day and my coffee's stale, its just a sunday afternoon. Still I got my own regrets that I can't forget, but I owe it to myself to try and find the light of day. When the morning comes, the morning comes now baby. When the morning comes we'll make it through. When tomorrow comes things never seem as bad. Just keep it simple.

5) THE RELAPSE

Oh, Leave me lifeless. Go, leave in spite of all these things you want and you got right now. I want you to know you’re like a weight on my shoulders. Here today but your running tomorrow. I took time kept myself in check but I'm not staying in a burning wreck. No, don't want to watch you fall tonight. I won't let you bring me down and bury me alive. I don't need to see first hand what I already know, you've got a way to hide yourself and I have learned to love and let you go. Oh, when you're about to let it go from here. I'd rather be here by myself than be with you. Yeah well you're just armed with a dagger and a box of lies, blindsided as the worlds collide. I took time kept myself in check but I'm not staying in a burning wreck. I wont let you go. Got to let you go.

Hey everyone, here are all the lyrics from our new album, "Say It Loud"   

-Enjoy!


1) STAND TO FIGHT

I might say what you want me to say. It's already too late. I can see just what you take me for. And I might do what you want me to do; But I can see right through you and your questions as you're asking me why. But if I ever let you push me down. If I ever let you push me around in this way. I'm tearing you down. I'm tearing you down tonight. You'll know the truth about me in time. It's not enough to think you've got the answers. You're just blinded and vain. And I might see what you want me to see. But it's only to deceive, because you think you've got me figured out. You just might not like what you see. I'll stand to fight before it's too late. Might be the best of all the worst. Because when you think you've got me. I'll stand to fight before it's too late. Do you want war?

2) SAY IT LOUD

When you see that it's not enough to heed the words of someone else. I know what's really going on. Rethink what you thought you knew as the walls give way to hope. Foundations shaken to the core. Another long night spent wasted and I'm at it again. All the time this anticipation makes me want it to end. It's not the things people say that are tearing me down, It's something else that I need. Can I figure it out? For all the time that I've spent waiting and the nights I've spent alone. We'll say it loud. So raise your voice for those who'll listen (don't take it away) I'll put it right down on the page (it's not okay) When I wake up and ask myself would I? Could I? Should I? Don't take it away. In between two roads is where I stand. One is safe and the other's left to chance. Make me whole because I'm split in two, and I'm a train wreck trying to get a fucking clue. Because I know there’s no answer written in the sand. Gone are the days the just made sense. Can't find my bliss in ignorance. Just like a photograph, my mind will take me back. But I gotta hold the pieces all in place. And all the things I used to know, well they don’t seem to mean much now. All that matters is the road that lies ahead. It's unexpected I'm aware. I can't pretend that it's not there. So don't take it away.

3) AS SHE WALKS…

Waiting for my time to come, but the lights shine bright in the city because it never sleeps. It’s down to me. And they say change is coming around any day. But nothing ever comes and if it did, I’d find a way to throw it away. What to say? And I don’t know if you know; I don’t know if it shows that it’s all the same. As she walks away in the distance, I wonder where she goes. Crowded streets-they seem so twisted, but all I see is her. And I’m blown away by what to say. It’s something in your eyes; It’s a casual goodbye. And it might be that the miles between keep getting longer, but I’ll still feel like you’re right here with me. I need a chance to know you when I’m not around. I don’t know if ill ever see you again. She’s walking away.

4) HEADFIRST

All this time that I’ve spent locked away in here. Everything they say-falling on deaf ears. These hands reaching out-they try to pull us down, and it feels like there is no one with me. Locked away in isolation, you can’t understand our frustration. Headfirst stuck in live or die. I can tell by the way it looks tonight, nothing gonna change. These people always stay the same and I can’t understand why I’m falling by the wayside. And it feels like there is no one with me. Locked away in isolation, you can’t understand our…
This time I’m not coming home tonight; I know I’m still the same. I know there’s no change so let it slide. The cards will fall where they may. I don’t know what to say. I’ll throw myself into the flames. Headfirst into the fog until there’s nothing left at all. All of these places that I’ve been. All of these faces that I’ve seen. And still we’re bringing it home. I always thought this would be what I wanted first. I never knew it would be this bad. Still we’ll bring it back, jumping into this headfirst.

5) GET IN THE CAR

I think we’re alone now. Her mind was racing fast as she locked the door behind them. There’s no way they’ll find us now, she said as hours passed. But he said, what’s that, I think I heard a sound. I know this old place is abandoned. And they just listened. Get in the car; she said staring through the broken glass. Heard the sounds and the lights were closing fast. How do they know we’re here? It’s over. It’s over. How do they know were here, when no ones been here in 30 years?  With every passing day, she had to get away. Always wanted something more. Now it’s all come down to this, and everything’s gone bad. Wishing she could just go back. Now the sirens getting closer. She didn’t listen. She said I’m not gonna let them find us now. I don’t wanna let it end like this. I don’t know what else to do. I’m sorry that I dragged you in, but I say we can give it one more try. We can get it right this time. Hurry up and grab the keys, we’re going out the back. Get in the car she said, but he wasn’t coming near. How do they know we’re here? Then it all fell into place. Get on the ground he screamed as she turned to see his face, gun drawn and a badge around his waist. She said in disbelief, how could you do this to me? But she wouldn’t listen to what he’d say. Instead she tried for the escape, and as she reached her hand into her bag, he said it didn’t have to end this way.

6) ROLLIN’ ON

By the time that I woke up, I was too far gone. Nothing here to console me. Can you see through my soul? I know I’ve got nothing left on you. Lost my element of surprise. I’m not holding any cards. Lay it on the line. I’m still rollin’ on. No one ever comes before me; I would help you, only if you help me first-just like everybody else. I see you fell into your old ways. Back to the rhythm and it’s nothing new. This road’s getting old that I’m on with you, and now I’m tired. Here now with nothing else left to say. So tired of the stupid games that you play. I’m moving on.

So here we are in 2009!!! We're only 12 days into the year and its already held some surprises for us. First off, Rick our bassist, has decided to leave the band. This came as a bit of a shock to us, but we wish him all the best. Replacing Rick on bass will be Matt Teves, who we are stoked to have on board. He was our first choice for a replacement and fortunately for us, was not playing in another band.

We are continuing work on our upcoming album which we hope to have out no later than two months. In the coming days and weeks we will be giving our myspace a complete overhaul. Check back for new songs, pics, and videos. And if you're going to be around the Greater Toronto Area try and come out to one of our upcoming shows! Most of them are free anyway!

Finally, our biggest piece of news is that we will be touring Ontario this summer. We can't wait to get on the road and meet some cool people, and hopefully gain some new fans along the way! We're still in the early stages of putting it together so check back for dates. And thats our first blog of '09!

Hey whats up, thanks for checking out this blog entry. As you may or may not have noticed we've done a little re-vamping of out myspace, and also posted a new video which you should check out if you have time.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTqNsJBPdZE)

Anyways, this is our first blog posting in a while so we just wanted to let people know that we haven't dropped off the face of the earth! So whats been going on?...

Well we replaced our drummer at the beginning of summer and took some time just to jam and write new material. We've also been pretty busy individually, which I guess is somewhat expected during summertime. We did play a few shows though and had several more booked, but just as the pace started to pick up we had some really bad luck. Justin broke his foot after a show which unfortunately put us out of commission for the rest of the summer.

BUT now its fall and its back to business! With no broken bones or summer distractions, we're ready to get back into the studio and record some new material! We're going to be recording a full album at a studio in Toronto called Euphonic Sound. We are all really stoked cause we've been waiting for a while to start recording again. We hope you'll check back regularly for new updates, videos, and songs!!!

Oh and one more thing, we've gotten some air time on a radio station outside Toronto called 94.9 The Rock so email marsden@therock.fm and request "Underlying Question" by 48caliber!

THANKS!!!!
