Come as you are my friend

We’re sitting ducks again

Anchored and held stagnant

The tides turn but the currents don’t

Well I see a storm ahead

Brewing inside my head

Come as you are my friend

We’re sitting ducks again

-

Changes remain changeless

We’re saving face again

Hidden behind your eyes

Agendas and open faults

Well I see a storm ahead

Brewing inside my head

Changes remain changeless

We’re saving face again

-

Mumble your solutions

Scream at your solutions

I knew I’d be the one

I knew you’d call me wrong again

-

Come as you are my friend

We’re sitting ducks again

The Flower & The Fruit

Artwork by Marcella Colavecchio

I chase the flower

Instead of the fruit

I wanna be your only imperfection

I wanna be the worst in you

-

And I’d stare into the sun

If it would blind me from the past

But memories don't fade

-

I'd run from shelter

Just to be caught in your storm

I'd rather fall than never see the view

I'd rather fall if I fell for you

-

And I’d stare into the sun

If it would blind me from the past

But memories don't fade

-

I could feast my eyes on you

I could feast my eyes on you

But I'd starve without the fruit

-

And I’d stare into the sun

If it would blind me from the past

But memories don't fade

Well I’ve seen the darker side of good

Searching for myself for so long

Burn it down

-

Well I thought you should know

That I need everything

You need and more

Burn it down

-

Saving my soul for nothing

But another chance to

Be one of your pawns

-

Well I've seen the light

That night I thought you were there

Well I thought you should know

That I need everything

You need and more

Burn it down

Artwork by Marcella Colavecchio

It’s been a long long time

That I’ve been living in this skin

You’d expect by now

I’d have a clue of who I am

-

Show me myself

In broken mirrors

Show me myself

Through your eyes

-

It’s been a long long time

You’ve been the splinter in my skin

And I still haven’t found a way

To pull you out without the pain

-

Show me myself

In broken mirrors

Show me myself

Through your eyes

Pull me to pieces

Tear me limb from limb my dear

Even stones erode in time

Forever phobic of the tide

And one more tomorrow

-

I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams, now I'm losing all my luster, and I'm bruising underneath

I thought I knew the end

I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams

I thought I knew the end would come on my terms

I thought I knew the end

I'm losing all my luster and I'm bruising underneath

-

Drawn in your ink

This feigned permanence still bleeds

Don't let my shy thorns pierce your skin

When winter comes to drown my din

And reave my tomorrows

-

I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams, now I'm losing all my luster, and I'm bruising underneath

I thought I knew the end

I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams

I thought I knew the end would come on my terms

I thought I knew the end

I'm losing all my luster and I'm bruising underneath

-

The tables turned

For master and slave

-

All will fade in time

Tethered Line

Released August 16, 2019

Written by Chris Yerinides and Scott Dombrowski

Performed by Chris Yerinides, Danen Saviano, Stephen Vermilyea, Gavin Pomerantz

Recorded at WHUS in Storrs, CT

Engineered and mixed by Brian Eldridge

Artwork by Marcella Colavecchio

Close your eyes, take you to a place inside your memory

Let you be

Take your time, breaking waves on top of every sensory

A casualty

-

Well waiting for nothing is all that I’m accustomed to

And praying to something is all that I can seem to do

-

So let me off the hook before I break your tethered line

So let me off the hook because we’re living on borrowed time

Right now I need a little guidance

So let me off the hook, I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why

-

While I’m gone find a reason that I need to come along

And sing a song

Taking down all the times I break the mold and make a sound

I’m drowning out

-

Well waiting for nothing is all that I’m accustomed to

And praying to something is all that I can seem to do

-

So let me off the hook before I break your tethered line 

So let me off the hook because we’re living on borrowed time 

Right now I need a little guidance 

So let me off the hook, I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why

-

It’s alright after all this time

‘Cause I got what I got what I got what I got to know

Yeah I got what I got what I got what I got to know

-

So let me off the hook before I break your tethered line 

So let me off the hook because we’re living on borrowed time 

Right now I need a little guidance 

So let me off the hook, I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why

Artwork by Marcella Colavecchio

Torpedoes falling in a line again

We’re shooting cannons we were holding in

Drop me a line before I’m lost

I’d throw you mine no matter the cost

Torpedoes falling in a line again

-

Scream your confessions to the deaf

Moment of silence just to catch your breath

Showing your scars to the eyes of the blind

And wondering why they don’t reply

Scream your confessions to the deaf

-

Save your lines for the show

Now I know

I wasn’t meant to get the role

-

Sinister thoughts and crooked motives

Wicked definitions of how to live

Stealing all you can take from the poor

My sanity exists no more

Sinister thoughts and crooked motives

-

Save your lines for the show

Now I know

I wasn’t meant to get the role

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I’ve never been

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I could be with you

By my side

-

My only wish is that it’s found in time

-

Ooh well I’ve been walking, walking

To the places I’ve been told to stray from

I hear them knocking, they're knocking

Me right back down to eye sight

-

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I’ve never been

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I could be with you

By my side

-

Ooh my journeys carry, they carry

Me to sights I’d thought I’d never see

Running forever and ever

To the ones that scream for me

-

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I’ve never been

Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming

Of a place that I could be with you

Hey my darling

Hey my darling, don’t you know?

That I’m the black sheep of the herd

Black fur keeps me just as warm

-

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

-

Hey my dear

Hey my darling, I thought

I’d built a nest we would behold

But the rest were building nests made of gold

-

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

I wish I was the only one

Off the Railways

Recorded in a bedroom in Norwalk, CT

Artwork by Marcella Colavecchio

Well I’ve been lookin’ for a face in the streets

Callin’ hey or all you wanna be free

Things gonna lie down, sunlight opens up your mindset

Things gonna die down, or so I’ve heard

Well I’ve been waiting on a voice in a dream

Sounding off on what it already means

But I’m just a youngster, ain’t we all so existential?

I think I love her after all

-

Well I try yo hit you up and tell you goodbye

Life is nothing but a piece of the pie

And I don’t know where to go anymore

-

Well I let it all go off the railways somedays

And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways

I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages

Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said

-

Laid back and empathetic motions to strut

Face it there’s only so much left in the cup

But I got a head start, shortcut through the empty airwaves

I’ve got a cold heart or so I’ve heard

Well she talks like the kinda girls that I like

And she feels tender spirits comin’ to life

But I’m just a bastard, ain’t we all so open ended?

I think I passed her forever now

-

Well I try yo hit you up and tell you goodbye 

Life is nothing but a piece of the pie 

And I don’t know where to go anymore 

-

Well I let it all go off the railways somedays 

And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways 

I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages 

Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said
