Rays of light cut thru the seams Never had time to shine On the ground, stair at the trees Your broken wings will learn to fly Grains of sand like memories Built a house by the shore Rising tides reclaim the beach It's not there anymore You know this time around Reason change so don't put up a fight As we hold each other down Whose to blame It's not black and white I won't see you in my dreams Two worlds that drift apart Never know just what to be Until we find out who we are I won't see you in my dreams Broken from the start Never know just what to be Until we find out who we are

September morning,just another day Waiting on the phone to ring and know it's not for me Twist all my words around but the meanings never change September morning comes and I don't feel ok It's the same thing over and over again Turn off the lights and just pretend It's the same thing over and over again Turn on the lights let's not pretend Send up the warning signs my minds about to break Chasing thru the atmosphere No voice to guide my way Travel at the speed of sound but never left this place September morning comes and I don't feel ok It's the same thing over and over again Turn off the lights and just pretend It's the same thing over and over again Turn on the lights let's not pretend

You were right again that's once tonight Fain some gratitude and make things alright Never had a clue no will to fight I think I'm going to lose my mind As the weight of doubt spreads like disease Brings the strongest man down to his knees Wish I never knew I'm begging please Are you willing to take my life Lay down until you rot Afraid of what I'm not So colorful in ways It bleeds out from the page You were running free and I was there Read a story book and breathed the air When I had a look nothing was there I think I'm going to lose my mind Lay down until you rot Afraid of what I'm not So colorful in ways It bleeds out from the page

Today my eyes have gone blind to what's real My only desires drown in vein Be true, what guides you in life should be real The burn of desire ends in flames Wish that I could change it all My Life Wish that I could change As I lie knocked down off my feet I couldn't hear a thing But the sound of her voice ringing in my ear

Standing beside myself, seems like no one else Would even see me if I chewed my hand right off Plaque of society,just the way to be Why use a cup when you can drink right from the troff What are we fighting for, don't want it anymore It cuts down to the bone like a razorblade Passed out on the floor from the night before Take your head and you put it on a shelf Blinded by tragedy, betting on destiny Spent your life locked up in a prison cell What are we waiting for, open up the door Let's tare this place apart like a hurricane Inside you wanted it so bad And then the moment you felt satisfied Packed your things and walked right off Pleading this hasn't been my life And I can't find my way around Defeated at the starting line

*REVIEWS*

We’ve definitely mentioned two things in these pages before: 1) Surprise new music is the best new music and B) Hot damn are we proud of the local scene in the Boston area! This post covers both of those things as local outfit forktie follows their debut single from earlier in the year with the just dropped debut EP.

But I digress.

forktie’s debut EP is here and it’s everything you want and more. After shining on “spores”, these former/current members of Test Meat, Easter Bloodhounds, textbookcopilot and more return to finish the job with four more tracks of sonic bliss.

“anywhere but here” comes at listeners screaming out of the gates before settling into a steady alt-rawk groove with Dom Mariano’s hushed vocals reminding listeners of Matt Talbot or Ken Andrews.

“september morning” follows and is a quirky, jangly throwback of some of the greatest overlooked gems of the alt-’90’s while “decomposition book” really gets into the meat and potatoes of forktie’s songwriting prowess and has Aarne Victorine’s bass work summoning both Les Claypool and Simon Gallup.

Closing with “phd in nothing” and listeners are reminded of those great grunge/alternative anthems of yesteryear before it builds to a beyond banging breakdown as Corey LeBlanc beats away on the drums and the EP concludes in just the proper rawkin’ fashion as it began.
