Breakthrough 03:52
Our last adventure had no equal But now I'm hoping for a sequel We raised the bar Now here we are Let's go Too slow Bottled up About to blow Bust out Breakthrough You know you're wanting to I'll go With you It's what we've gotta do That instant action left me restless I'm never gonna second guess this We've come so far Now here we are Just right Tonight Unafraid And strapped in tight Bust out Breakthrough You know you're wanting to I'll go With you It's what we've gotta do Failsafe Failproof This all depends on you What else are we to do It's your breakthrough Behind the curtain One thing's for certain We're gonna find release Beauty to tempt us It's all so reckless But also necessary If this is your big break Then it is no mistake We'll know eventually Bust out Breakthrough You know you're wanting to I'll go With you It's what we've gotta do Failsafe Failproof This all depends on you What else are we to do It's your breakthrough

Treeline 02:16
This way's not what I thought it'd be Can't see the forest for the trees No clearing coming into view I guess I gotta push on through Maybe I should turn around Maybe I should go back down How far do I have to go? And can I go it on my own? I want to make it to the peak But it's getting hard to breathe Is it really worth it now? Maybe I should go back down The weather may seem fine But the sky can darken at anytime When you make that climb Above the treeline Treeline Treeline Treeline Is this the calm before the storm? Or am I finally transformed? Horizon stretched infinitely Will be the last thing that I see There's no way that I'll be found Maybe I won't go back down The weather may seem fine But the sky can darken at anytime When you make that climb Above the treeline Treeline Treeline Treeline Treeline Treeline

My Suspicion 02:41
I got a sixth sense Or just insecure You say I shouldn't worry But I am not so sure My suspicion is true My suspicion of you My suspicion is true My suspicion of you Criminal intent Deep in your heart I collect evidence To tear us apart My suspicion is true My suspicion of you My suspicion is true My suspicion of you Now the judge and jury They know it's all true I read your message I've been played for a fool My suspicion is true My suspicion of you My suspicion is true My suspicion of you

Simple Rules 04:01
If we want to go on with our lives Take care of each other and be polite Do what's right, these simple rules Let the others walk ahead of you Hold the line Give it time We'll all get out Alive If we want to go on with our lies Take care of each other and sacrifice Do what's right, these simple rules Let the others walk ahead of you Hold the line Give it time We'll still get out Alive When we think we've got it sorted Everything is out of order now Out of order now Thought we'd make it out

What am I to do? I've lost all sight of you Like you were never in this world, you're hid away Followed your lead, thought you'd always see me through Now you play the silence game, you won't refrain You won't refrain I said some things I wish I hadn't now My pain, a weapon made for you The fiction hides behind the truth somehow Now our lives are torn in two Torn in two Growing up it was never like you cared (for me) Just a shadow passing through, you were never there (for me) Your secret burden that you shared (with me) Brother, now there's all the past to repair The past to repair The past To repair The past To repair Growing up it was never like you cared (for me) Just a shadow passing through, you were never there (for me) Your secret burden that you shared (with me) Brother, now there's all the past to repair The past to repair The past To repair The past To repair The past To repair

Chartreuse 03:22
If I didn't work, I'd never have a good time Now I'm getting sick of all the sunshine She won't want me if I call her back Another sunny day is wasted Quickly bored with what I tasted A child spoiled by gifts from his grandmother Happily waiting for another Anticipation is the main course As human nature strikes with full force An empty promise that weighs more than what it holds Until the mystery unfolds If I didn't work, I'd never have a good time Now I'm getting sick of all the sunshine I won't want her if she calls me back And everytime it goes the same way You'd think we'd break the pattern some day As soon as I get this done, I'll finally have it made These words are taken to the grave If I didn't work, I'd never have a good time Now I'm getting sick of all the sunshine She won't want me if I call her back Take it away until I want it And starve me 'till I'm full I don't know if we'll ever have a good time I don't know if we'll ever have a good time I don't know if we'll ever have a good time now I don't know if we'll ever have a good time When in the hell are we gonna have a good time? I don't know if we'll ever have a good time now I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know

Picky 02:44
Too sweet, too bitter For her taste Too hot, too cold She feels the degrees She knows what she likes She knows what is right She's picky I don't mind She's picky And she picked me Too bright, too dark She can't see Too cheap, too spendy Should be in between She knows what she likes (She knows what she likes) She knows what is right She's picky And I don't mind She's picky And she picked me She's picky And I don't mind She's picky And she picked me Not enough, or it's too much Yeah, it's up to her Too hard, it's too soft She wants it just right She knows what she likes (She knows what she likes) She knows what is right She's picky And I don't mind She's picky And she picked me

Back when I first laid my eyes on you You were just a photograph That's when I first thought you were the one I could see it in your laugh There's no other No other one but you, no There's no other No other one but you Late last night I finally realized How far we've really come Holding on to the sweet mystery The answer's yet to come There's no other No other one but you, no There's no other No other one but you For me For me For me For me Oh for me Oh for me

I'm lying here Just waking up I feel you near So I kiss you Kiss you so soft And you say Don't kiss me like that Why don't you kiss me right Why don't you kiss me right Right now You're passing by And I'm reaching out You wonder why I touch you I touch you this way And you say Don't touch me like that (Why don't you) Why don't you touch me right (Why don't you) Why don't you touch me right Right now Why don't you Why don't you Why don't you now We're finding out How to be one But you seem to doubt When I love you Love you this way And you say Don't love me like that (Why don't you) Why don't you love me right (Why don't you) Why don't you love me right Right now Why don't you Why don't you Why don't you now Now (Why don't you) Now (Why don't you) Now (Why don't you) Now

Slow Rainbow 08:16
I don't remember I couldn't see Please run it backwards for me Slow Rainbow Under the covers Under the sea Something discovered enchanted me Slow Rainbow Think of the summer Wrap it around But don't you ever turn it down Slow Rainbow Slow Rainbow

about

Proud to be releasing our second album featuring some real rockers to kick things off. After that we slow it down a bit with some melancholy vibes before picking up the pace again and then venturing into some new territory. We really stretch out for the last tune - which features the band playing together live with some choice overdubs. Recorded in the basement studio of Ryan Ferris in Portland, OR between late 2022 and early 2024.
