2.	A World Turned Upside Down 04:49	lyrics	buy track
The world we knew Turned upside down A detachment grows From what we proved to know Blind leads the blind To believe what they say The fact of the matters cites That the facts are all a lie Taboos become the norm Love’s forbidden here Outside these walls Now do what you’re told Give up your freewill You have no choice You were born to see You’re not meant to be In a world turned upside down What’s wrong becomes the new right In a world turned upside down We buy all the blatant lies In a world turned upside down Privilege to violate Abuse your power Seal their fates Don’t bother to relate Cling on to your skin And the cross you bear The money daddy gave To defend your hate
3.	Too Much to Lose 04:19	lyrics	buy track
The sleeping giant wakes upon the call In the wake of losing it all The tyrant claims the world is in his hands For this, we draw a line in the sand We have far too much to lose And you want to take it all away We have come too far to fall And you have nothing to gain The grief and fear inside your heart Expel it all before it tears us apart Take your life back into your hands For this, we draw a line in the sand
4.	Memento Mori 05:17	lyrics	buy track
Holding hands in a war against love This bond we have will keep us alive Remembering how we came to be As we approach the eve of our dying days Every waking moment We know in our hearts That we will part To the other side Every waking moment Withers into the ephemeral A reminder funereal But a memory alive In plain sight And the fear inside Says we’re not meant to be So we dive in the wake Of this memento mori I can’t live a lie without you If it means to live in fear my whole life Bleeding for the light Bleeding for the night For the night

6.	Scars 06:02	lyrics	buy track
I open wide these old scars To remember how far we veered from yesterday The tremors of love blind us both Against our will, we went our separate ways Is this the life we’re meant to live? If only for one more moment We could rebuild everything we’ve lost If only for one more moment Before the chances for closure are dead and gone
7.	All That You Believe 03:43	lyrics	buy track
I’ll carry on, I won’t live in fear The marks I bear, I hold dear And it’s all becoming clear All that you believe It’s who I am that you can’t see All that you believe Is the fear that deceives The sound of your voice, you adore I heard this song time after time before Why do you wage this civil war?

about

"There are some solid songs here which showcase some potential for the duo. Aspin has a good singing voice and the guitar playing has some inspired moments [...] The music they play certainly isn't anything new but they do the genre justice. I’d like to see if they can find more of a signature sound on their next release." - Jamie Funk, Divide and Conquer.

This EP was written and recorded between December 2016 and May 2017, when everything bad was (and still is) going down in our political climate. The aggressive, heavy nature of this record is my reaction to all of it. I want to thank Bianca Aspin for lending her vocals for this project, the local music scene as well as all the musicians abroad that inspired me, the CSS community, and the music faculty that expressed interest and supported this project.
