lyrics
Firing Squad
Must I wake again
To face your firing squad
The mind’s best of intentions
The heart forgot
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Words like bullets pierce the skin
Of my belief each time you speak
Riddle my trust with cacophony
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you til your steps can mean it
All you say has proven fleeting
I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it
Convince my innocence
Of what you’re not
But no more can I bear
This same, tired façade
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Smoking gun can’t hide the truth
As words repeat, you’re cutting deep
Litter my hope with hypocrisy
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you when my trust is bleeding
All this time and you can’t see it
Louder doesn’t mean worth believing
Speak the truth, subtract the love
Kill me quicker than a lie ever could
Ever, ever could
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it
I can’t hear you!
Must I wake again
To face your firing squad
The mind’s best of intentions
The heart forgot
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Words like bullets pierce the skin
Of my belief each time you speak
Riddle my trust with cacophony
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you til your steps can mean it
All you say has proven fleeting
I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it
Convince my innocence
Of what you’re not
But no more can I bear
This same, tired façade
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Smoking gun can’t hide the truth
As words repeat, you’re cutting deep
Litter my hope with hypocrisy
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you when my trust is bleeding
All this time and you can’t see it
Louder doesn’t mean worth believing
Speak the truth, subtract the love
Kill me quicker than a lie ever could
Ever, ever could
I can’t hear you cause my ears are ringing
I can’t hear you til your heart can beat it
I can’t hear you!

Tycho is gorgeously crafted melodies set to smooth beats. Even if the music was bad(which it is not!) we would still stare at the album art for hours.

History Repeating: Blue
by The MegasThis album features indie rock songs based on Mega Man 3. They are well written and highly addictive! Check out "You've Sparked a War" and "Gamma Unchained"

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.
