Marshall Lochbaum Not a fan of the sloppy screamo vocals, but there's some incredible math-something running under them. The section at 4:30 on A Summer Serenade alone beats most bands' entire discographies. Favorite track: A Summer Serenade (Heartbeats).

Hearts Grow Cold in December (Handguns) (free) 04:10
lyrics
download
Why'd you have to say those words Fuck what happened, I will be heard. You're just some sad silouette You're the ghost that's been haunting my head You're the kiss that I gave you before you pushed me off the edge I'll be sure to disgrace your name when planning my revenge And at the end of the day, you'll pay for the life that you claimed. Oh , please stop, please stop that screaming Oh my god, now she's not breathing. Why'd you have defy sound? You say you're sorry, but it's too late now Why'd you have to defy sound? Hearts grow so cold in December. I search for the stars, but only find clouds A beautiful face corrupted by sound I try to remember to keep my feet on the ground You said you would be here, but where are you now? You left me alone here to die in this town You said you would be here, so where are you now? I dreamt of fear and winter last night Snow and the make up, the awkward goodbyes Why did you say that you'd stay? You left, and you took all the life that remained Why? (the part above was changed right before recordings, so I didn't know it yet and I'm just yelling nonsense.) I still remember that look of defeat in her eyes When she realized that she was dead, I watched her body float towards the sky. Hearts always grow so cold in late December So try to forget all those things I'll remember Like blood stains and coffee Cigarettes in bed You used me so selfishly I tried to stay ahead There's no truth to your actions, so don't think I'll ever forget. Broken I'm broken I'm broken now. Can't you see our lives will fade? Days pass by and seasons change We'll all face our death someday Growing weak with time and age.

Cold Hearts Caught Fire (Romance) (free) 06:06
lyrics
download
I swore I'd live to see this I lost track of time She asks me where I'm going I had hell in mind. And if you make it through this Please know that I'll be fine Thought I could take the pressure We'll all collapse in time. So young and tired Cold hearts had caught fire A constant reminder Of death and desire Each mile between us My head takes me higher Our hearts will still beat But it's time to retire. My head will take the blame Each time you throw lies at me. My heart will die in vain Like a ship lost in the sea. Your sins won't go unnoticed Each one has a price to pay. I can't begin to rest With these ghosts haunting me. I woke up this morning Oh no, not today The deafening silence Of hearing your name How much more pressure Can this body take? It squeezes and sucks The life out of me. Why don't you see it Words that you said Destroying eachother With fear of regret. Why can't you see it Now it's too late Can't turn back the clock You've already changed. It's stuck in my head That look that she gave The signs of defeat And choices she made I'm tired of believing Every word that you say I'm begging you please Wipe that grin of your face. Handguns and Romance, Heartbeats and Caskets. My hands around her neck I swear it was an accident It was done and over Before I knew what had happened Her body's on the floor Kicking and screaming How much of this life Is worth repeating I've told you before There's a price to pay. Why don't you see it Words that you said Destroying eachother With fear of regret. Why can't you see it Now it's too late Can't turn back the clock You've already changed. I can't take this constant pressure Under this winter sky. I can't take this constant pain I might break tonight.

A Summer Serenade (Heartbeats) (free) 06:13
lyrics
download
You can run your mouth, scream out loud, but you can't take my passion You've murdered my heart in some ill mannered fashion In times of despair you'll always need a distraction Today is the day I turn my thoughts into action But I don't know how. Today is the day I turn my thoughts into action I'd hoped to stay clear or regret and distraction. Today is the day I turn my thoughts into action I'd hoped to stay clear of regret and distraction. My plan for a summer serenade isn't too far from reach Blood on my hands and a secret to keep If I could just close my eyes I could get some sleep Rid my head of the terror that you bring To touch your skin is an infectious disease That I can't get rid of It's killing me A life time of agony. The truth and true love was never enough To quench your thirst of my blood and guts You promised you'd change You turned love into hate blah blah blah... To rid you of that plague that let your beauty fade The death and destruction each time you say my name You killed this romance. You can't fool me Accept your fate You screamed my name You plant your seeds far too deep You knew they'd be the death of me. Death has been calling Can't say that you're sorry The future's apparent There's no place to hide. I wish that I could have stopped that curse But now I know I'll never escape this hell on earth. I'm caught in these flames Your face is to blame Your actions spoke louder So what could I say. I swear I'll show these demons I'm not here to stay Redefining pride and glory until I get my way. GOOD GOD. It is finally here My summer serenade I'll count down the days I'll make my esacape Cast out with the tide And lost in the sea. Tim: I swear I'll change I swear I'll change things I swear I'll change So sick of feeling angry I swear I'll change I swear I'll change things I swear I'll change Work so hard to kill these feelings So that I can finally breath Rest my head and get some sleep I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it I need it So I can just fucking sleep. Mike: Not now, not ever. (x16) Ben: For now, forever. (x16)

Darkness of the Daytime (Caskets) (free) 04:30
lyrics

Mike: I'm being eaten alive In this city full of lies That I built of guilt and shame There's no one to blame. Tim: It's such a sad reminder Of all the life we miss And with this constant feeling That put our lives at risk The absent minded decisions Some sort of catalyst Replace your sense of regret With blissful ignorance. I'm at a loss for words Broken hearts and damaged nerves. I'm falling, falling faster I'm falling, expect disaster. I can't forget that I'm falling, falling faster I'm falling, expect disaster. Ben: Was it worth it? I'm falling, falling faster I'm falling expect disaster. Someone please remind me That I'm scared of falling. Cus I'm falling faster Than I expected I've thought it over And I'm okay with it. (x2) Do you remember Those summer nights when We'd watch the stars above and We'd feel so innocent. (x2) Cus I'm falling faster Than I expected I've thought it over And I'm okay with it. Those summer nights aren't far from sight But I can't forget How we'd promise ourselves we'd burn this bright Just to see the day light. These are the thoughts that I choose to remember Reviewing my life just to keep it together Constantly anxious, so scared of the weather The measures I've taken to try and forget her Keep asking myself how did we even get here Her head had grown tired sometime in September We'd fallen apart by the end of December We laid it to rest in the cold of the winter. Hearts grow so cold in December.

This Song is About You, All these Songs are About You (free) 02:30
lyrics

It makes me fucking sick Like I'm just some quick fix So let's pretend That this is the end Forever Open your eyes Feel guilty inside Regret it I can't stand to fake this smile And when the timings right I'll show you what it's like To be replaced. (x2) You make me fucking sick Like I'm just some quick fix. What do you do? When all that you thought to be true Is wrong And gone I've lost all clear sight of my youth For now It's gone It's gone It's gone. Ben: Ill teach you a lesson) I have to let go of my youth Let go Let go Let go. I hate That you Can never admit to the truth The truth Blah Blah blah So That I Can live again In innocence Every chance that I get. Innocence. Every chance that I get. Nick Ben Levi Ben Nick Ben Levi Ben Mike and Tim Alex.
