Influences include Red, Coldplay, Alice in Chains, Cold, and Deftones.

About us: We’re a 2-man band/studio project, 100% self-produced – we write, compose, perform, record, mix, and master all elements of our music. Control freaks? Yes. Our story began 15 years earlier in the high-school metal band we formed together. We tirelessly practiced and gigged and had visions of rock stardom. Soon after high school ended, careers and families slowly took over, and by our early 20’s we had let our musical aspirations fade into the background. But we never lost touch, never stopped writing, and after 10 years we finally decided to stop reminiscing and start recording an album, “Burn the Rez”, released in 2014.

Burn the Rez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been over it all
I've analyzed the same words
Now everything else seems useless
How can I ever know?
Keep breaking all the same rules
Now everything else seems useless
And so I find my reasons
Now here I lie with no one

I've tried but I fear nothing I say will ever change you
We're torn away and no words will ever change my mind

It's always end of day
We're picked apart the same way
The weight upon my mind's increasing
Forget it, fuck it all
Just think of something neutral
While every dreaded thought keeps racing
In my mind, I'm captured
Why can't I sleep? It escapes me

Now here I lie, so haunted by
My invention, it lives deep into the night
Still wide awake and there's no escape
So please tell me it's almost over
In cold despair I lie and stare
Our silence, it's taking over

I can't move on from nowhere
I reach for answers, so desperate for your words

Line by Line Meaning

I've been over it all
I've thoroughly analyzed every aspect of our situation

I've analyzed the same words
I've examined the same phrases and conversations repeatedly

Now everything else seems useless
All other attempts to find answers have been in vain

How can I ever know?
I struggle to find any certainty in our reality

Keep breaking all the same rules
I keep acting outside of societal expectations to try and find the answers

And so I find my reasons
I believe I have found explanations for our situation

Now here I lie with no one
Yet I feel lost and alone in my discoveries

I've tried but I fear nothing I say will ever change you
I've made numerous attempts, but feel my words fall on deaf ears

We're torn away and no words will ever change my mind
Our relationship has been damaged beyond repair and no amount of communication can fix it

It's always end of day
Our situation feels like it's approaching its inevitable end

We're picked apart the same way
Our issues continue to be scrutinized and analyzed as before

The weight upon my mind's increasing
The emotional burden on my mind is growing heavier

Forget it, fuck it all
I can't deal with this anymore and am tempted to give up

Just think of something neutral
I try to distract myself with other thoughts

While every dreaded thought keeps racing
But my worries and fears continue to plague me

In my mind, I'm captured
My thoughts and emotions have a tight grip on me

Why can't I sleep? It escapes me
I struggle to find peace and rest

Now here I lie, so haunted by
I am tormented by the consequences of my actions

My invention, it lives deep into the night
I am haunted by the thoughts I've created in my own mind

Still wide awake and there's no escape
I am unable to escape my own thoughts and feelings

So please tell me it's almost over
I desperately seek for the end to my turmoil

In cold despair I lie and stare
I am consumed by hopelessness and emptiness

Our silence, it's taking over
The lack of communication between us is overwhelming

I can't move on from nowhere
I feel stuck and unable to move forward

I reach for answers, so desperate for your words
I constantly search for any kind of explanation or communication from you

Lyrics:

I’ve been over it all
I’ve analyzed the same words
Now everything else seems useless
How can I ever know?
Keep breaking all the same rules
Now everything else seems useless
And so I find my reasons
Now here I lie with no one

I’ve tried but I fear nothing I say will ever change you
We’re torn away and no words will ever change my mind

It’s always end of day
We’re picked apart the same way
The weight upon my mind’s increasing
Forget it, fuck it all
Just think of something neutral
While every dreaded thought keeps racing
In my mind, I’m captured
Why can’t I sleep? It escapes me

I’ve tried but I fear nothing I say will ever change you
We’re torn away and no words will ever change my mind

Now here I lie, so haunted by
My invention, it lives deep into the night
Still wide awake and there’s no escape
So please tell me it’s almost over
In cold despair I lie and stare
Our silence, it’s taking over
I can’t move on from nowhere
I reach for answers, so desperate for your words

I’ve tried but I fear nothing I say will ever change you
We’re torn away and no words will ever change my mind

I’ve been over it all
I’ve analyzed the same words
Now everything else seems useless

(No words will ever change my mind)

How can I ever know?
Keep breaking all the same rules
Now everything else seems useless
