about

Here is our first single off our upcoming LP, The Book of Ramifications! That will be out Summer 2019, but this single is available nowwwww!

Along side it we have a cover of one of our other songs, Black Paint. Our friend band 96 Ponies was kind enough to grace us with a cover of it, and we're very honored to share it with you.

Also, we smashed together a little music video for The Somnambulist! Check that out here:

Lyrics:
V1
Remember when you were asleep
wasn’t that much better
All cozy comfort in the sheets
Wrapped in a big dream sweater (yeah I know)

You may not be having any fun
but you’re not hurting anyone
…
go back to sleep

V2
Remember when you were alive
Isn't this much better
You had to have so much drive
And be a real go getter

You may not be getting anything done
but you’re not hurting anyone
…
go back to sleep

Chorus:
Go back to sleep
And dream of a world Where nothing's changed
Go back to sleep
though your waking life is rearranged
There is no pain
There isn't anything, It's not even real
It's all the same
Tattered visions divined, just to make us feel

V3
Remember when you were awake
Isn't this much better
You made a deal with that snake
Now you're this forever

You may never see the setting sun
But you're not hurting anyone
…
go back to sleep
