lyrics

Mainstream America, she's got me beat
At one time I thought, she was the only one for me
People are dying, in your streets
Doesn't seem like it's the place it's supposed to be

Waiting for the clouds to break, as I lie in your wake
No signals of change, today
Careful what you wait for, you might wait yourself out the door
I can't feel you anymore

Waiting for the clouds to break
No signals from you today

Where do I stand, in your mind
Am I falling behind
Nobody sleeps for free anymore
Pile your dreams at the door

Waiting for the clouds to break
No signals from you today
What can I do, what can I say
Tear it all down, a brand new day

And I waiting for the time
To move on down the line
Doesn't seem like it's the place
I wanna show my face

This is a little different from what I normally listen to but god-damn, I really enjoy it. They remind me of Canadian rockers ‘Old Major’. Not in sound but in their diverse & quirky style. The track Iz What It Iz could easily come of an ‘All Them Witches’ album. These are the same guys who brought out a that fantastic little 5 song Demo EP back in 2014. It’s a pity they withdrew the EP from Bandcamp. Happily I got it before they took it away. Harry Harrison
