It's a labor of love for someone
It's a labor of love for someone
In the shadow of what we become
It's a labor of love
It's a labor of love
It's a labor of love
It's a labor of love

Long Gone
04:39

The here and now
Day in day out
Eaten alive with an unopen mouth
Pull at the seam it's not hard to believe
We're falling away
Falling away
Turning the page
This day is long gone
Forgotten
Watch it fade out in the blink of an eye
Before you know it this life is long gone
Forgotten
Tight as a noose
Turn royal blue
The cannons are loose in this hullabaloo
And in the end we're all sinking to swim
Let's call it a day
Let's call it a day
Turning the page
This day is long gone
Forgotten
Watch it fade out in the blink of an eye
Before you know it this life is long gone
Forgotten
Day in, day out
Day in, day out
Day in, day out

Jerusalem Syndrome
05:34

Listen to the sound of the voices around you
Closing in like four walls that confine you
This is your fleeting moment
Dying on the vine
Are you listening?
The thrill of the search for that missing piece
While you hang your hat in the belly of the beast
In the nick of time watch them fall in line
Like coming up for air
Breathe it in, hold it in
Don't let it slip away
Nothing can stop them now
No one will even try
Nothing can stop them now
Call it faith call it your own
Jerusalem syndrome
Believe your time to shine is here
Shine on, shine on
Shine on, shine on

Penny Drops
03:30

Everything is broken
Shattered at our feet
Swept underneath the rug
Look it in the eye
Call it what you will
Everyone knows the name
Eyes trained on the sky
The penny drops tonight
Just one step behind
The penny drops tonight
Brave the unforgiven
Parade on their graves
Send them a message loud and clear
A desire to be remembered
Destiny to be forgotten
Fade away so gracefully
Eyes trained on the sky
The penny drops tonight
Just one step behind
The penny drops tonight
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away

Find a new beginning
Tie it to an ending
See the ghosts ascending now
The fear of being outdone
Minutes of the long run
Breathe in every last one now
Conversations elevating
Court the fever
A lost believer
Better take it before it's given
Given away
Goodbye
It's water under the burning bridge
It's alright
It's just a fire in the sky
The blind leading the blind
Color on the gray lines
Simplify the design now
Drastic measures called for
The calm before the storm
Waiting outside your door now
Destination obligation
Soapbox dwelling
Your salvation
Better take it before it's given
Given away
Goodbye
It's water under the burning bridge
It's alright
It's just a fire in the sky
Hours, minutes, seconds
Roll a lucky seven
Lighting up the heavens now
Find a new beginning
Tie it to an ending
See the ghosts ascending now
Right now

Banished to the shadows
Just to shine a light upon it
Bury it six feet below
Just to be unearthed another day
A monster's rebirth
With a penchant for hell on earth
An iron hand in a velvet glove
It's a labor of love for someone
I'll be waiting in the wings
For the big reveal
They will never let us forget
They will never let us forget
They will never let us forget
Never never let us forget
Throw the dead weight overboard
Just to have it wash ashore
On a dark horse riding out
Unforgiving light for all to see
A monster's rebirth
With a penchant for hell on earth
An iron hand in a velvet glove
It's a labor of love for someone
I'll be waiting in the wings
For the big reveal
They will never let us forget
They will never let us forget
They will never let us forget
Never never let us forget
Cut along the line
It's all the same, it's all the same
Bury it alive
It's all the same, it's all the same

John Lancaster recommends:
In The City's Arms
by Black Sugar Transmission
Andee Blacksugar combines elements of electronic, pop and rock sensibilities with subtle glimpses of off the charts musicianship. Great songs and hooks that won’t let go.

In The Dead, Dead Wood
by Vennart
Mike Vennart (ex-Oceansize) continues to kill it on his own. Top tier songwriting accentuated with seasoned dynamics, strong vocal performances, fuzzed out riffs, and an excellent production.

No One Loves You Like I Do
by The Life and Times
I could easily mention any TLAT release here, but “No One Loves You Like I Do” has always been front and center for me courtesy of their masterful blend of melody, atmosphere and emotion.

Strange, Strange Times
