Escape
04:32
|
|||
Keeping things pent up inside
I can't escape, can't even cry
Waiting for the break of day
The dark of night, I hide behind
Chorus
Even odd it's both inside
Even there I cannot hide
But it's odd like it's a game
Nothing there is quite the same
Dream take over control my mind
But still I am trapped inside
Or false, an illusion
Above it all I watch myself
Always there, burden I bear
Chorus
Someone's knocking on the door
Insistent pounding I abhor
They can see the lights are on
I withdraw in side my mind

Close the door on the future
It's all lies and guessing games for fun
And can't you see it doesn't matter
We'll still be here with everyone
Chorus:
And as the children grow older
The dark world grows still colder
But the lies spread like cancer
As we search for an answer
Constant your questions come
But you don't hear from anyone
Try to change your future
But there's nothing can be done
Chorus
Frightfully waiting
Carefully listening
Desperately hiding
Will they come for us today?
Closing in on our sanctuary
We'll always wonder when
We'll have to back up and say
It is time to run again
Chorus

Fire Eyes
03:09
|
|||
She has fire in her eyes
Her beauty is in disguise
Behind dry and scaly talons
Behind cold and glassy eyes
Chorus
Under majestic wings
Earth's expanse a mere plaything
Just below the clouds
She soars on majestic wings
Regal is her feathered face
Those feathers fine as lace
Chorus
A queen secure in her reign
She'll have the sun for her crown
From high above with keen sight
She scans the ground while there is light
During the day
She rules the sky
Though even she
Must flee the night

The Fight
05:10
|
|||
Words go in out and right on by
Lost in the endless cloudy skies
Of empty eyes and empty ears
In rooms where silence feeds our fears
Silence shatters like broken glass
We're waiting, what will come to pass
We're staring, someone must speak first
The words are eager, soon I'll burst
But it's a waiting game this bout
And though you're laughing, I've no doubt
We'll see who wins out in this end
For very soon this night must end
It's always building up inside
Feelings that from myself I hide
The problems that I dance around
Solutions nowhere to be found
The storm will break when it will break
And of that the best, I will make
For whatever will come, will come
To change that, nothing can be done.

I Have a Stroke
04:11
|
|||
They called it a mistake
To give to someone so young
The power to break the bank
Well I've learned to bite my tongue
You're frivolous and flightily
And don't think before you act
I'm not the one to act lightly
And I like to know the facts.
All you talk about is money
I won't give you no more
You bought boats and a bunny,
Half a small island off shore
You take me with you shopping
Oh how those trips I abhor
You hear a puppy barking
"Can I have it?", you implore
Chorus
When you're near, I have a stroke
You're voice I hear, I have a stroke,
My temples throb, I have a stroke
My vision blurs, I have a stroke
I guess you're spoiled rotten
When you come to meet with me
Dressed in your silk, never cotton
Find a new bank is my failed plea
You come to me for counsel
And never take my advice
At this point I am doubtful
How much more I can survive
Chorus x2

Jimi Renegade
04:32
|
|||
The train rolls slowly down the track
Where can I go? I can't go back
I'm destined for a life alone
In a place where I'm unknown
Was living free, living wild
As I have since I was a child
Was on the road all day and night
I was looking for a fight.
Found one too many, had my fun
Now on the road means on the run
I've been caught, but I won't give up
No I still got my luck
So I changed my name and hit the road
Headed out before the rooster crowed
Even left my stuff behind
Won't need it when I've lost my mind
Chorus x2
A renegade
I lost my chance
A criminal, blood on my hands
Make my way with stubborn cheer
Who needs to eat when high on fear?
So no I won't be giving up
If it kicks me out of luck
When they do I won't go quiet
I'll fight em hard, I'll start a riot
Because living wild is what I do
I'm a rebel tired and true.
Chorus x2

Lost
05:18
|
|||
A snowy wonderland it seems
But is there something underneath?
This lost fantasy world of dreams
The real world is nowhere to be seen
Chorus
And also lost i am myself
Like a box on the highest shelf
Running the world, spinning around
Oh, let me go find solid ground
And as the wild myself surrounds
Trees stick out their bony fingers
Searching for the nonbelievers
Chorus
Too quiet, silence burns my ears
Dark deeper than my deepest fears
So dark and yet the snow so white
Reflects even the smallest light
How can I know what to believe?
How can I know what to believe?
Real and fake look just the same
I'll make the wrong choice I fear
Lost forever in the trees
Of this snowy land of dreams
Winter clutches the world around
Muffles even the loudest sound
Chorus

Dragon Steed
05:32
|
|||
The sky so blue overhead
Landscape barren of life
Proud warriors rape and pillage
In the name of truth
Riding we stand tall
Leather wings at our side
Fire-breathing monsters
We befriend
Heed our words, and abide
Noble deed, Fear for the weak
Across the plains we ride
Beast at our side
Blackened wings
Fire breath
Armored backs
Raining Death
Dark eyes
Clawed feet
Flaming steed
Dragon steed
Dragon steeds we fly
Never be afraid to die
Dragon steed
Dragon
A village up ahead
Prepare to count your dead
Roaring wings
Flame-bombing all things
Soaring high, gazing o'er the land
Mountain tops, are mine to command
Stare in to the sun
Throw it all away
Tear the sun away
Tear the sun away
An immortal warriors heart
With a dragon at your side
And a sword in your hand
Never be conquered
Dueling in the sky
Fire in the eye
Of my dragon steed
Faithful dragon steed

Quietly in the Night
05:46
|
|||
Quiet she is calling
Who will help her through the night?
Single teardrop sounds so faintly
Did you hear it right?
Pillow stifles weary eyes that
Spring quick flowing tears
Innocent face looks much younger
Than her careworn years
Once loved fairy tales she read
Now grimly taste of lead
Magic wishes never true,
Once upon a time dead.
She begs for sleep
Strongly she weeps
Still she can't escape
Nameless demons who her
Short lived peacefulness rape.
Cold scared and left alone
Through the night she finds her way
No help from the world
Her demons, only she must slay
As time passes her tears slow and
The night sees dry eyes
She drifts to sleep, but deep inside
Her torn heart still cries

Secrets
04:16
|

Silent night, holy night
Spire shadows a bleak sight
Are whispers on the wind
Real of just imagined?
Chorus
Secrets
Rustles the tall grass
Secrets
Calls the raven back
Secrets
Our lips spill like lead
They tell intricate lies
Truths hidden from our eyes
Truths no one wants to face
Heavy with a grim taste
Do these truths exist when no one believes in them?
Chorus
One small spark in the fire
Spreads the smoldering blaze
A single believer clears the lie-built haze
So believe in the whispered truths on the wind

Waves Roll In
05:38
|
|||
Waves roll in
I watch them from the shore
While I think about the ancient lore
And wish it could pertain to me
How exciting my life could be
A great hero
Is known for all of time
An average Joe disappears in to the slime
Whether he's caring or just plain mean
Selfish or in high esteem.
Maybe I'll break down and show the world some lip
Wait there I see some sort of great big pirate ship
It beckons to me to swim aboard it
Time to roll the dice I don't give a shit
"Yarg, welcome aboard the Dark Emerald
I could tell ye was a scallywag from miles away
Anyway, you know how to sail? Oh no bother
Here take your sword boy, welcome aboard to the slaughter"
"Look out Captain, he's right behind you
I see the boy he's trying to save you"
Captain is dead, so we turn our head
To the new boy who saved our lives, ahoy!
Now that I've chosen this life
It's filled with strife
Not that I've hurt and maimed
Is this my fame?
Waves roll in, I sit upon the helm
As we find a ship to overwhelm
I was nobody before
Not I live a life free of bore
But my friends and folks that I once knew
Are lost to me on the ocean blue
Was this excitement worth the cost?
Was it worth losing what I've lost?
Wake up now.

Let me tell you a story
Of a place I like to go
When I need to get some food
But got no money to blow
I get in my car
Flip the on switch
There she is
My sweet Food Lion bitch
They take food stamps
From poor people
With a coupon
Value less or equal
Doors open before
I ready my cart
In here I'm MVP
How's that for shopping smart?
Smart option cola in a 3 liter bottle
These cheap ass cookies have 80 fuckin' calories
All of this yogurt is 5 for 11
Being in Food Lion is like being in Heaven
Don't judge me
I just know hot to shop
I ain't fuckin' rich
Look, the price just dropped

Today I'm going to play my xbox
Noobs are gonna die, gonna rock their socks off
Pop in halo reach and I get my search on
I'm in the firefight
Chorus
But you stop and you freeze and you see it
Red ring, red ring.
Close my eyes and I see that evil
Red ring, red ring
What do I do, how to fix this horrid?
Red ring red ring
Think I'll curl outside and cry
Check on youtube for a way to fix it
Come across this clip by a 12 year old geek
With the answer that I seek to revive it
Makuch, get me some towels
Chorus
Somebody please buy
Overheat the thing, it comes back on now
Let's watch Netflix and eat clam chowder
Pop in Reach I want to play a game online now
Why is it not loading?
Chorus
It's the end of my life.

Stenders Charlottesville, Virginia
Stenders is a band started by Sten and Anders Hasselquist. It started out when the two brothers, at the suggestion of their mother, used one SM57 mic and a computer to record several improvised song to give to their extended family members during the holidays. That way, they wouldn't have to spend real money. However, the recordings actually didn't sound too bad, and something more serious evolved ... more
