Go 04:40
Mirror, mirror on the wall I've been waiting for your call You can't look me in the eyes Try so hard to sever ties Mirror, mirror on the wall You knew me before the fall Winters gone and now its spring I think its time that I come clean. I’m not the same that I was the last time I’ve got to go on my own. Hidden layers, separate I've gotta get my story straight I thought the world was just a lie Find the door and make it mine Hidden layers, fight the fight The fantasy was nothing right I've been dragging all my doubt This time I'm gonna make it out I can’t go back to what I had I’m barely intact (It’s too big for you to change it) Take me where I move on, a second chance To right where I left (You’re just not that courageous) Slow it down No, I’m not saying sorry (It’s time to give it up) Slow it down No, I’m not saying sorry (Cause you’re not strong enough) Slow it down No, I’m not saying sorry (Stand up and face yourself) Slow it down No, I’m not saying sorry (You know you can’t be someone else) Slow it down No, I’m not saying sorry I’m not the same (You’re just the same)

And you talk he way you move is enough And we'll follow through but there's not enough room for two And we know it just comes down to the walk And I drive the argument cause I lie I’m fine with it but I try, and it’s never enough Cause the lights don’t wanna take another shot And we all see it The flash can’t beat it You've got it all because you're picture perfect The flash from all the bulbs, you're picture perfect But in another time you'd be mine Instead you want it all, you're picture perfect And you fell for what they want Cause they call for everything you flaunt I can tell that it’s not your fault Nothing else makes you feel the way it felt Cover shot is the only one that you've got It’s not about the fun, when it stops, and the damage is done When the flood moves on you’re dead with all the rest Is there more than meets the eye? Are you perfect in disguise?

Bombshell 04:10
In the cold night huddled right next to me We keep it up cause she's such a high frequency The elements compressed, atomic particles Radioactive, I know that it’s volatile She's got that trip switch, smile, I'm givin’ in And got that gold-cased shell, my mind is swimming it But if I cross the wire, choose ‘em one and done, This total knock out, she'll blow it up Yeah she's a bombshell, I'm setting her off Just take her back cause I cant get enough I'm saying whoa. I've got the fuse and she's tying me up Just cut me loose or I'll light it myself I've lost my mind, cause I'm drunk on the chemicals But its only a lie, she's uncontrollable Its not a closed case, shut it off and get away She's like the dynamite, strapped to my chest, no escape Another late night, we're touchin’ each other I've got the cold touch runnin' for cover Cross the red and white, pray to god you've got is right You've got no kill switch, so make sure that it’s what you like. Countdown, I've gotta back out Bare skin, I'm at my wits end Knife out, can't take the weight off Heartache, just set it in my lone grave

Let It Burn 03:36
I'm not coming home tonight So just burn what’s left in the morning light I'm not coming home tonight In the center lane I'm the one to blame Turn around again Make another pass We've gotta take it fast Gonna play pretend A dilemma child Buried in the wall Digging out my grave Just the second time We can call it lies Riding on heat waves Let the fire burn Pour the gasoline Let the flames ignite It’s all you'll see Make it to the street Before the last call Take it back again Got the benefit Of the last fall Stacked it in the end Knuckles white and red On the concrete I hope your happy now Push it to the floor Cause I’ve got lead feet You've gotta get me out

Awake 04:17
We've got it feelin' right Every night, every night Nothing but the street lights Make something of the time Every night, every night We're hanging on the other side I let the seven blocks of friends come stock with no regrets I feed my appetite for feeling right before we reset Another bottle down, and tossed aside, he's on his own Just a story told, a tale rolled in broken bones It’s nothing dangerous We've got each other here to save us The difference is the distance We're growing larger by the minute Curb to curb is packed out The summer air is back now We all want what we've got here A different kind of track-town I see the fire light, from sparks ignited, cigarettes Another bursting flame passed down the line, but better yet I got a handle on it, corked and flaunted, heavy pour Just watch me pass the whiskey, sittin' pretty, ready for more There's no resistance Nothing if not persistent You know we've gotta have it Another night lost in the madness We turned our phones off Nobody we don’t know of We're taking most the southeast We're gonna make this city blow up And the night keeps calling us back And I know I couldn’t stay away But I try to let the sun bring us home It just never ever ends that way And the night keeps calling us back And I know I couldn’t stay away I'm alright with the lights on the streets And the way I feel while I'm awake.

The Hunger 03:24
She's on the hunt for something bleeding And he's gotta feed that empty reason And I know, you know, for sure His flesh will just leave her eager Track time cause now we're on a manhunt Lap lane we're passing all the young blood We see, we saw fresh claws No sense in stopping, its a lost cause She's out for the kill You wanted a thrill You've got it I hope you got what it takes Cause no sign, she'll strike anyway Long shot, she’s diving out of sight now Blacktop is flooded with a ripe sound Keep track, she's tagged, I'm out Can’t let a menace rot the rip town Fresh tracks, our prize is losing leeway Load fast, this girl might need a double take Tie down, locked up, she's out Clean slate, its safe for us to get down Set the record straight A 6 feet face down grave A flood of gasoline (It’s something you’ve gotta see) Take my word and leave The hunger never cease A casket shred to leaves (She's something from the deep)

Gold 05:27
And gold Taking off at a whirlwind speed Never thought it would work for me Going back just to make believe Always chase what think I see And up all night just to prove it wrong Hand in hand as we watch the sun Seven days, never separate Like a dream if I never wake And Gold Turn the lights out, it’s right now Let the ember light till the fires right Hold my hand now, its cold out Staying by my side, it'll be all right Down the coast, but it gave me hope With a friend, never quite alone Every stop, it was on my mind Took a shot every chance I’d find Laid it out, couldn’t keep it up Let me go, didn’t get enough Fight it off, never drop your guard All alone never felt so sharp All that’s left Second-guess Ready now? On the steps Broken Glass Turn around

about

GOLD is the band’s third album and was inspired during a season of rapid change in life and relationships. Songs like “Go,” “Picture Perfect,” and “Let It Burn” reveal a sense of self-reflection and change in perspective, while tracks like “Bombshell” and “The Hunger” tell stories of intense desire, love, and destruction. It all concludes in the title-track, “Gold,” a story is completed by expressing the power of finding someone special who is 'gold', losing them, and the pursuit of finding them again.
