Lights Are Always On
Faunts Lyrics

No one's ever here but the lights are always on
And if you want to know what it feels like when they're gone
You can run away, you can run real far from this
But when you turn around you have to face it like it is
Like it is

Running fast, it's all that's left; she can't remember when
love was here and death was far from what she'd understand

And no one can tell her that nothing's in control

And no one can tell her that nothing's in control
In control

Maybe someday it will be alright
Maybe someday she will find her new life

No one's ever here but the lights are always on
And if you want to know what it feels like when they're gone
It's living with the fear that a love was never there
And every day moves on and it moves without a care

She has lost everything and all her love
Now it's gone all the way
She has lost everything and all her love
Now it's gone all the way

Maybe someday it will be alright
Maybe someday she will find her life
Maybe someday it will be alright
Maybe someday she will find her new life

Embracing a moody, introspective pop sound that's smart, tuneful, forceful, and sweetly melancholy all at once, Faunts were formed in 2000 by Tim Batke and his brother Steven Batke, who hail from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. With Tim handling guitar, keyboards, and vocals while Steven contributed vocals and guitar, Faunts became a trio with the addition of percussionist Paul Arnusch.

With Tim handling guitar, keyboards, and vocals while Steven contributed vocals and guitar, Faunts became a trio with the addition of percussionist Paul Arnusch. After Joel Hitchcock signed on as the group's keyboard player and Scott Gallant became their bassist, Faunts set out to make a name for themselves on Northern Canada's music scene, and steady club work led to concert dates opening for Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think, and Stars. After two well-received tours of Canada, Faunts struck a deal with the independent Friendly Fire label, and the group released their debut album, High Expectations/Low Results, in the fall of 2005. A five-song EP, M4, appeared in late 2007, released only via digital download services; the EP featured music created to accompany a series of short films presented as part of a multimedia project. One of the songs, "M4, Pt. 2," was featured in the popular video game Mass Effect for the PC and Xbox 360. By this time, Hitchcock had left the group and another member of the Batke family, Rob Batke, had joined the lineup on keyboards and laptop manipulations.

The band is also currently on hiatus.
