    Our debut full-length album, Instability, comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, absolutely covered in impossibly gorgeous art created by the talented Abby Lessick (www.instagram.com/abbylessickart), and designed by the brilliant Alex Ellick. Abby has not only covered the entire gatefold in a mural of a city overtaken by nature, but has brought to life individual works of art particular to each song on the record, laid out in a storybook style in a 20 page booklet (piece shown is for Steam). We recommend the album be listened to while following through these artworks.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Instability via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

you’ll never know the sweet pain of devotion.
you’ll never find the ghosts and glory
in an endless sea of clocks.
or any of a million shrines to suffering you’ve
never built,
the fortresses you’ll never remember…

you’ll dig your grave six feet under the stars,
sinking deep in the soil,
your eyes hollowed and grey.
and the warm lips that would grace your
forehead at night,
the calloused hands and feet, and lungs
that bore your agonies…
these senseless echoes cast into a dead space
are the memories that could’ve been your
brightest star.

staple your eyelids,
and forget what it means to be blind.
ghosts and glory wait behind thinnest glass,
but your lifeless hands idle fireside.
so this is your last chance
to take a guiding hand
and join us in the flames.
(we’ll show you what you’re missing)

you’re the fading edges of a photograph;
a broken set of headphones, resigned to the
floor;
you’re slowly grinding along a dead-end
highway,
smoke billowing from your blackened throat…

and I have spent far too much time
writhing between your stripped gears
and choking on your leaking exhaust.
you’re a door with deadbolt in place,
but I’ve already jumped out the window.

strewn roadside in paper scraps
melting in ancient tapedecks
floating in hazy clouds
out of cigarettes
held between desert-dry lips
reaching for departed peals of laughter
glimpsing our smiles, wide as the sun…

you won’t find my body in the dirt,
or lost in the sky,
as sirens pursue
with the most cherished anthems
you’ll never remember.

it’s a canvas you’ll never paint,
a stage you’ll never own…
you chose a weak and hollow lie
to call your home.
ghosts and glory wait behind thinnest glass,
but your lifeless hands idle fireside.
so this is your last chance
to take our guiding hands
and join us in the flames.
(we’ll show you what you’re missing)
