Tomorrow i may write the first blog I actually think/care about. i need to vent. circatbs http://www.absolutepunk.net/journal.php?do=showentry&e=171452 http://www.absolutepunk.net/journal.php?do=showentry&e=170842 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:44:47 GMT Great great band. They make some jammin' tunes, I advise you to listen to this. Many people say the lead singer Matt Geise sounds like Daryl of Glassjaw, so if you like Glassjaw this might be worth your time. A few months ago, Lower Deezy lost two members, (drummer and bassist, I believe) and the future of the band is pretty uncertain. They released two Ep's (the first one is from like '03, and I can't find it ANYWHERE, not even to download.) They released another EP in 2007 and a full length last year.

It's daylight when they come. Afraid to test what we've done. Tamed by the fire, they hang on a wire. Tonight, they'll have you bandaged round the eyes. Tonight, they watch from the sides.

They know we can see right through fingers broken and bruised. They speak with frail sighs. And their throats are dry and ravished of greatness. They open their arms with jaws of life. They're bandaged, bandaged round the eyes and all I can hear are the cries. It haunts me at times. While animatronic puppets sing stupid lullabies. Afraid to test what we've done when they come. Shunned by the light. In awe, they know we can see right through fingers broken and bruised and books deprived and ravished of pages. They're all filled with lies. I feel neglected.

They'll sneak into your dreams and take you for everything you never really had. I lost my beat in a sea of shapes and sounds and I lost my mind in the color of your eyes. Bury me? Bury you beneath our first kiss and in those twisted dreams is where you'll finally rest. We plead for mercy. Your fingers point like knives thrown across the room. And as she gives a blank stare in the midst of the storm, her heart starts pouring from her wrists. With these IVs deep inside my skin, Ill do this with a grin and happily Ill state, "its the only way." Don't you cry anymore, as the weather grows colder and we shatter like glass of an influenced hand with the red pouring chest on the ivory where I rest. Its a mess and Im swept away with your breath. I lost my beat in a sea of shapes and sounds and I lost my mind in the color of your eyes. Bury me? Bury you beneath our first kiss and in those twisted dreams is where you'll find me choking on all of the things I should have said to you, I should have done to you[/fs] And there ya go!

Lyrics

We hide behind the gates. It's daylight when they come. Afraid to test what we've done. Tamed by the fire, they hang on a wire. Tonight, they'll have you bandaged round the eyes. Tonight, they watch from the sides.

They sing familiar cries. From the sides they watch with closed minds and breathe on every line with impeccable time. They watch from the sides.

They know we can see right through fingers broken and bruised. They speak with frail sighs. And their throats are dry and ravished of greatness.

They open their arms with jaws of life. They're bandaged, bandaged round the eyes and all I can hear are the cries. It haunts me at times.

While animatronic puppets sing stupid lullabies.

Afraid to test what we've done when they come. Shunned by the light. In awe, they know we can see right through fingers broken and bruised and books deprived and ravished of pages. They're all filled with lies. I feel neglected. Bandaged round the eyes.

You do things to me. You do this to me. You pull the strings. It haunts me at times.

Her Last Winter

Lyrics

As the trigger tip toed close behind her back, her heart pumped faster as the sweat rolled down her neck. She waits. And now, theyre coming faster through her dreams. And now, you wish you'd never left me. They wanna watch you scream. These twisted dreams are so pristine. They'll sneak into your dreams and take you for everything you never really had.

I lost my beat in a sea of shapes and sounds and I lost my mind in the color of your eyes. Bury me? Bury you beneath our first kiss and in those twisted dreams is where you'll finally rest.

We plead for mercy. Your fingers point like knives thrown across the room. And as she gives a blank stare in the midst of the storm, her heart starts pouring from her wrists.

With these IVs deep inside my skin, Ill do this with a grin and happily Ill state, "its the only way." Don't you cry anymore, as the weather grows colder and we shatter like glass of an influenced hand with the red pouring chest on the ivory where I rest.

Mike's screaming is harsher, more intense, and Jeremy's singing sounds like it has improved. The instrumentation is also better, and I would have to say it's less generic than everything they've done. I can see this - with more listens - being the best album they've released. circatbs http://www.absolutepunk.net/journal.php?do=showentry&e=169882 http://www.absolutepunk.net/journal.php?do=showentry&e=169822 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 01:14:31 GMT Expect an extremely positive review for this one.

The first one in all of New England (that I know of) just opened up about two weeks ago in the city next to mine. I'm leaving in about a half hour to go there for the first time in 3 or 4 years. I've only been one time and that was when I was in Florida on vacation. I'm sure people who live in the south will back me up on how awesome this place is. They're gonna have to cut me out of the booth and take me out of this place on a forklift.

Bridges

Lyrics

Well look at you now
You've got the world under your belt
When will it change.

You'll never come home again

How long has it been since your last confession?
How long have you had to make your last transgression?

Boats set sail the bridges burn down
Down! Burn Down

The boats set sail
The Bridges Burn Down
The Boat has set sail, all the bridges have burnt down
There is nowhere to go, nowhere to go but down

Between Failure And Fraud

Lyrics

So Speak
I hear the words, I look away.
I hear your words, I turn and say.
Read My Lips
I’m done with it.
Read My Lips
I’m done with this.
I’m not as good as you think
Not as bad as you believe
There are better things
There are worse things
How can I look you in the eyes?
Then repeat, repeat!
Where is truth behind a lying tongue?
How can grace come to a failing one?
I wonder around…aimlessly searching
But all that I’ve found is nothing is working.
You told me again, and over again.
But I won’t hear you, I’ll find my own way.

Read the lines between the lines
See the life behind these eyes.
We’re all seeing through the lies your leading.
You are sinking in the ship your keeping.
You give me everything, I give you nothing in return
You give me everything, I give you nothing

I know and you know, I’m a Failure, I’m a Fraud.
Leave me to drown.
