Ebb & Flow 02:43
I've been giving up alright I've been giving up this time I've been giving up alright I've been giving up this time I've been giving up on life The ebb & flow pulls us under Where will we go? No one wonders
2.
Stowaway 03:47
Ha ha crow the sailors Shove him off to the side The sea will swallow him deep Dark water filled with plight Say something Hold on may we discuss please? Have mercy show civility Though have let you down see My actions a necessity Say something Who’s the one who failed to find a savior Stowaway HA HA crow the masses Shut him out a final time Tie him down as our repayment Time has come for him to fly
3.
Fur 03:09
So cold This poison's slow I'll stray Until our ending fades Wait, hide, hold tight Strain, fight, survive Wait, hide, hold tight Strain, fight, all right
4.
Rushing around Bustle about Routines abound Come on down Reach to define Status in time Possessions rely On lies To wake and to rise To repeat to kill time To never try We all end underground Running to waste What’s making me stable
5.
Overlook 02:16
Take my hand you fool Keeps me safe tonight With the back and forth we go around around Overlooking time Makes it all worth while All we’ve ever known goes down down down Are you right? are you right? I fall on my knees, beg and plead oh well Yet another bout Reeling more without Always holding close we go down down down Are you right? are you right? i fall on my knees, beg and plead oh well

Lazarus 02:20
Come on Lay your head down Be free With new meaning Gone away In dreams Lay your head down Come on Let these words out Gone free With new meaning Don’t! Wait! This is real Let us know What you’re up against Time can heal What you’re up against Time can heal.... Come on...
7.
Again 04:46
Do you run? Break on out? Again Show your bones Head on down Again Take in all that’s real, it’s too close Burden passed surreal, at full force With every word you feel, almost Knowing anything that’s real is back home Get your head up Take them down Throw your hands up Dance around
8.
All my decisions are arriving Almost Been no delusions I’ve been striving So close All we want is to breathe Been so deceiving Much derision Too cold Losing all reason Heart is treason No hope Been no illusion I can drown it Oh no...... You’re holding out again As you head for the road
9.
Don't Fret 05:58
Such as our worry, began Everyday as we sit and wait All that they know, a taste Be afraid, don’t be afraid So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen Breaking, she went fast, strayed She’d salivate, intimidate, all as she’d know Fades, be afraid, don’t be afraid So don’t you fret, there are better days, awaiting we Won’t go, to the edge, that I have foreseen So we’ll fight Taking our time, away Everyday, oh we’ll sit and wait All as we’d known, ashamed Be afraid, don’t be afraid
10.
Aurora 05:12
The eyes that met you Crash into pieces numb All around lay silence Rushing through my blood But listless may be my old soul The streets laugh and scream grasping hold Hello sweet sickness I peer through nothing now Feed me one more time The warm embrace surrounds But listless may be my old soul The streets laugh and scream grasping hold Come what may We crawl about so low Made to endure what you've seen We crawl about so low A failure inconceived We crawl about so low The lights bring on instant dreams We crawl about so low

about

With their long awaited follow up to 2009's Broken Surfaces EP, the Portland, Oregon band has curated tracks spanning nearly five years of songwriting since becoming a quartet. The eclectic yet cohesive nature of the self-titled album chronicles a band fine tuning their art in an effort to create something unique and recognizable. Many of the tracks have been performed at shows throughout the Northwest for a long while, allowing the songs to evolve into pieces better suited for the direction This Fair City is headed. The new album is a springboard for a band moving forward from a lengthy transitional period; finding their collective voice and looking towards the future.
