Avion Roe's songs are about hope and overcoming obstacles. The 10 song album connects from the first song to the last with sound effects, pianos and subtle guitars while singer Evan Lester screams out thoughts that couldn't find songs to call their homes. Lester describes the record best: "Avion Roe saved our lives, ...We forgot everything we new about music and started over. 'Fiction' took over a year to make but it was worth it, we love playing these songs live." And their live show is not one to miss: guitar player Jordan Modro spends the entire set making one guitar sound like three, Sean Humphrey (bass) will more than likely jump off something while you're watching them. The drummer, Josh Cutlip, holds the group together while delivering a hyper, punk-influenced performance, and with all of this going on on the stage you still may find it hard to look away from their theatrical, mic-swinging singer Evan Lester.

It was a long drive home I stopped to think it out
(Maybe today was a waste)
All the things we said and the things we dreamed about
(Couldn't get couldn't give us away)
And the cold couldn't stop us I concentrate to breathe in and out
(is this the last time)
Drama and bad news sink my heart as they leave my mouth
(I'll be alone I'm never alone anymore)

I could be the only air in your lungs you're all I think about
I'll never let this feeling fade away I'm so sorry

I never had what you ever had bringing me down
Although time goes on I must be lost in the crowd
Daylights taken all our time spent but
We won't forget no we won't forget

I must've drove all night cause I woke up next to you

(maybe today was a waste)
As the sun came up it put everything into view
(couldn't get couldn't give us away)
I could be the only air in your lungs you're all I'm feeling too
I'll never let this feeling fade away I'm so sorry

I never had what you ever had bringing me down
Although time goes on I must be lost in the crowd
Daylights taken all our time spent but
We won't forget no we won't forget
I never had what you ever had bringing me down
Although time goes on I must be lost in the crowd

Daylights taken all our time spent but
We won't forget no we won't forget
