We've fallen off of the planet for quite some time now and it was unfair of us to leave anyone in the dark on what's going on with the band.  Anyone who may have been expecting more from us in the future or just enjoyed coming to see us play or basically anyone who may find this blog substantial, this is the skinny. 

We're no longer an active band and do not plan to play any more shows together.  We've all went our separate ways, and most importantly we all still love each other like brothers.  The split has been for a while now and is more or less due to differences in work ethics and band dedication.  We all realize how hard it is to become a successful band in this industry and it seemed like, collectively, we didn't want to head down that very narrow path and bump elbows with everyone else chasing after the gold at the end of the rainbow.  It was a lot of fun and we met a lot of great people and bands, some of which actually found that gold and are cashing it in right now!  We really enjoyed the music we wrote together and the times on the road and the whole "whats gonna happen tomorrow?" lifestyle that most bands enjoy so much.  You're in debt, hungry, and tired but you're "living the life" and if we keep working hard "we'll get our big break" is what most young bands would say.  But I guess things fade after a while and even though you continue to love the music you write and the people you write it with, you lose the passion for the that lifestyle.....whether you're a small band or the biggest band in the world at the time, I believe it happens to anyone. 

With all that said, we'd like to say thank you to anyone who has helped us in any way (whether we fully showed it at the time) we do mean it.  Yeah this does sound a bit cliche, but bands definitely mean it when they say thanks to their fans or people who helped them out or even gave them the time of day.  We had a lot more material that never made it to the surface.  We were working on a full length album and had it nearly done but not recorded....maybe one day we'll get together again just to write and record some of that music. 

We did however, manage to record 2 demos that were gonna be on the full length.  Alex never put vocals to them as this was during the rough and tumble vocalist dilemma (which to make a long-short....Alex left, we searched for another vocalist the search ended unsuccessfully as Alex decided to come back only for the end to come soon after).  We've decided that rather than putting this off any longer, we're gonna put these 2 demo songs up without vocals for anyone who is interested in them.  Maybe one day some vocals will make their way into the mix, but until then use your imaginations!

Thank you again everyone who enjoyed and supported this band.  The TWLove is there.

The Concluding Countdown

Ladies and Gentlemen,
There's a story that you've heard so many times before.
It's a cover up for the truth that happened, the day of that month of that year.
And we're strapped to our seats with hands down on our knees.  And we're receiving live feed of a critical emergency.....critical emergency!

What am I supposed to do miles away from the heavens?

We'll pray, we'll say how we miss the sweet smell of  oxygen everyday in our lungs.
We took it for granted, we took it for granted.
The only thing we look forward to now is drifting forever in time and space.

I don't know what happened.  The situation has gone hay wire.
Cause we weren't trained for the situation were in.  No amount of practice can help us now.

"This is your captain speaking. We're experiencing some technical difficulties, but there's nothing we can do."  So..

Lets enjoy the view, oh its gonna be a while.
Let's enjoy the view it's our private planetarium.
One by one we'll count the stars. One by one we'll fall asleep. One by one we'll count the stars, until we reach our destiny.

5 gas tanks ignited.
4 members on the ship.
3 days till the oxygen's deceased.
2 eyes to cry with, and one, 
1 miracle to count on.  To bring us back home in one piece.

We'll send our message gliding through the cosmos, and maybe one day we'll get an answer back.

Mayday!  Mayday!  Abandon ship!
{repeat} We'll pray, we'll say how we miss the sweet smell of  oxygen everyday in our lungs.
We took it for granted, we took it for granted.
The only thing we look forward to now is drifting forever in time and space.

No one's to blame.  Just our own curiosity to find out what the universe has to offer to us.  The ship's taking flames, so we better find ourselves a black hole.
So we can take it all back.

Dolphin Tames Shark

With just a word the world can end. Not the sticks or stones, but the verbs you choose that sink their teeth deep into me. But I'm still trying, baby searching in the deep blue sea. What's worse is you still hold the key. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. But let's forgive let's not forget. Broken was the heart of this killing machine until it found a reason to breathe. Like a message sent in a bottle postmarked destiny. It was the heart of the girl who showed the sharks heart how to finally beat. Man overboard, it was more then he thought he could ever chew. It was the faithful day of the capture when she was gone for good. And it was heard, shouted straight from the heart of the one who had depart. "Te amo, Te amo, con todo mi corazone." Extra! Extra! Read about it, it's the dolphin who tamed the shark! Why do we need these rusty hooks? Jamming our lungs to prove we're alive. Pain has no meaning without a constant blood supply. To prove that we are living, breathing. Call the coroner, and ask him what he thinks. Does the heart, of the broken, still stand a chance to beat without a missing piece? In the murky waters we can see that everything will be fine. Man overboard! Lower the sails, and drop the anchor! Man overboard! The shark is dead!
