Their album Burn Season was released on October 11, 2005 under the "Bieler Bros. Records" label after "Elektra Records" dropped them.
The band was working on their new album, but on May 1st 2007, Starkey officially announced the band's breakup: After 6 years, 2 record deals, and over 40 recorded songs we feel that the band has run its course. All of us are still great friends and have no animosity within the group but have come to a point where it makes more sense to pursue other projects. For more information, take a look at their website.

Burn Season Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Considering all the trials,
Made mistakes but its all good.
Faced the pain that i've caused,
Appologetic result,
Whats done is done and its all good.
Just look how long its taken me,
Sometimes you must run out of things to say.
All i have is what i choose,
And its easy to confuse,
With what i want,
And what i need,
Is this what lifes supposed to be,
All i have is what i choose.
(in background)
Here comes another monday.
Looking back i can see,
How much my father held me,
Made me see that its all good.
Faced the face with the past,
Life is bitter romance,
Half and half but its all good.
Be glad to see another day,
Just look how long its taken me,
Sometimes you must run out of things to say.
All i have is what i choose,
And its easy to confuse,
With what i want,
And what i need,
Is this what lifes supposed to be,
All i have is what i choose.
Cross the T's and dot the I's,
I close my window,
Of all the time ive spent the lass,
I told that im sorry.
Cause im breaking and i take,
More than i needed,
More in the air and comes back to fall.
Looking back on my life,
Considering all the trials,
Made mistakes but its all good.
All you have is what you choose,
And its easy to confuse,
With what you want,
And what you need,
Is this what lifes supposed to be,
All you have is what you choose.
(Repeated in background till end of song)
Here comes another monday.
All you have is what you choose,
All you have is what you choose.
In Burn Season's song "Monday", the singer reflects on his life and the trials he has faced, admitting that he has made mistakes but accepts them as part of the journey. He has faced the pain that he has caused, resulting in an apologetic attitude towards the past, understanding that what's done is done, and recognizing that it's all good. The chorus talks about being glad to see another day, and how he has experienced a lot in his life. However, sometimes you must run out of things to say, and it's okay to take a step back and reflect.
Throughout the song, the singer describes how he chooses to live his life, focusing on what he needs versus what he wants. He acknowledges how easy it is to confuse the two, and questions whether this is what life is supposed to be. The lyrics delve into the idea of looking back on one's life, the choices made, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's life.
The background choruses repeating the phrase "Here comes another Monday" highlights the cyclical nature of life and how one can choose to view every day as a new beginning, a fresh start. The song's theme of looking back, reflecting, and taking stock of one's life makes it relatable, especially during times of uncertainty, allowing listeners to take stock of their lives and make choices that align with their priorities.
