That’s Funk’d Up
Music & Lyrics by Mark Walters
Ship shambles, cross eyed animals
Just to name a few of the world’s potential
Even if we give a little back
This game of living and dying and in between
Is so obscene and apparently just comes from nothing
Can’t we all make a little more sense
Between all the love and the hate and the pain
I just don’t see the logic,
someone give a reason
Between all the blood and the fights and the cries
I just don’t see the log,
someone give a reason
Just one reason
African plains, the midwest grains
All up in flames, the 2012 flames
It might as well be 1984
Words all bent around in to different sounds
Nobody knows how to just take a look around
It seems like were all going mad
Between all the love and the hate and the pain
I just don’t see the logic,
someone give a reason
Between all the blood and the fights and the cries
I just don’t see the justice, s
omeone give a reason
Just one reason

Music & Lyrics by Mark Walters
Hands up in the air, I know it’s not fair
Come on just give me a break
Been there, done that, just like you
But we still insist on acting fake
No difference at all, whatsoever
Its just a fact
Races, societies, the world will explode if we can’t learn to relax
Can’t anyone see that these dreams aren’t just a child thinking
Its the real thing
Utopian themed, maybe we’ll all see on the same level
And kill off this disease
Wreck shop, complete stop on the top
of these skyscrapers of war
Cleaning air, equal wear, no more games
there will be games for all these chores
politics, police cliques, all reborn
If we’d all be reborn ourselves
First move, standing up taking steps
Towards packing it up on the shelf
Can’t anyone see that these dreams aren’t just a child thinking
Its the real thing
Utopian themed, maybe we’ll all see on the same level
And kill off this disease

Cease Fire
Music & Lyrics by Mark Walters
It’s only habit, it’s just for a while
I’ll make up an excuse for anything
Ill try my best, just so I don’t laugh
It’s just I didn’t think you were serious
When it all wants to come to an end
When the stars start to explode again
When I was myself
When the thoughts don’t go to my head
It’a all so bitter yet my sweetest thing
I feel the love it’s just not what I hoped it would be
I pushed myself yea one more step ahead
Only to fall on my back, get back up again
When it all wants to come to an end
When the stars start to explode again
When I was myself
When the thoughts don’t go to my head

Ola
Music & Lyrics by Mark Walters
Did you ever know that she was it, my perfect gift
Did you ever know that you walked right by, your ignorance
Did you ever know that you could have talked, despite silence
Did you ever know she was supposed to be, be the one
Until she crossed half way around the world
Now she’s giving me, now she’s giving me a run
Why ignore all these questions in your head (you’ve done it all before and still feel the regret)
Creator of all cliched movie moments (and all she had to do was walk right by and say nothing)
I wish more was said
These haunting pictures only speak one, they speak a limited amount
Her pictures have kept me awake for days, her pictures obviously have a bigger mouth
Did you know that you couldn’t hide your thoughts, despite your wish
Its not that she didn’t try so hard, you didn’t even open your eyes and you missed
Why ignore all these questions in your head (you’ve done it all before and still feel the regret)
Creator of all cliched movie moments (and all she had to do was walk right by and say nothing)
If I could walk half way around the world
If I could walk half way around the world…

Simply Amazing
Music & Lyrics by Mark Walters
Take me as your own, Im not impressive
But your love for me is still here
I fall down every day, you help me up every time
You are my cane, you are my crutch
And I see myself as not enough
To gain your grace, to be with you
And I have watched you work with me
Your so amazing
Constantly messing up, never doing enough
Always letting you down, but your still here
Something opposing you, it steps in front of me
You never give up, you never leave
And I see myself as not enough
To gain your grace, to be with you
And I have watched you work with me
Your so amazing
No you never leave, so amazing
No you never leave, so amazing

The Old Man the Boat
by The Madeleines
Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious.

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis.

This DC shoegaze group work like fog, bringing in ephemeral melodic layers that swirl together to become something surprisingly heavy.

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies.
