I’m overwhelmed by how little I feel Limbs underground Head under the wheel If everything’s true then nothing is real If nothing is true then everything is real I can’t block it out These cellophane blues No circuit’s so small Mind control is old news Close your eyes before machine selves pour out Cover your house with water and doubt Water with hands Water with hands Look out I can’t block it out These cellophane blues Wings over the moon Mind control is old news The swinging won’t stop All these telephone shoes Hit bottom at top Sky Burial Blues This unseen structure is a fantasy The words you use will never make you free You make me feel worse than I ever knew I don’t want anybody else but you I can’t block it out These cellophane blues Wings over the moon Mind control is old news The swinging won’t stop Hit bottom at top

Headstand 04:01
Sunlight through the dust Someone to make you understand You can ask the rust I’ve always been your headstand And I know It’s been too long And I want you back again One more time in the warm jets One more time in electric light I’ll get my toaster, you get your shaker This simulation’s about to meet its maker And I know it’s been too long It goes so slow when you can’t see And now I know just what you meant But the whole world says you’re bad for me And I know It’s been too long And I want you back again

Here come the wild type droids Sun burning deep in my eye Forgot all the reasons why You wear me out You wear me out Here comes a lifetime of joy Feel the sun burning deep in my eye Forgot all the reasons why You wear me out You wear me out

Submarines 03:44
Last year the seeds had been sewn The stitches all dissolved Everything was going your way But left you flattened in the road The shape it took inside your head The same shape inside of me Empty hills a candy-cane sled You always shake just before you concede I don’t care What you say I don’t know What you want I can’t see What you see I don’t need Whatever you are A castle door on a shotgun shack A ball of widows splashing on your back Every fear growing wings Every comfort taking flight My last year was hopeless and down I was so innocent before the plague Now I feel like a brand new machine every thought has already been played I don’t care What you say I don’t know What you want Can’t live in Submarines forever I’m never going down never going down Never going down

Can they bring back the sound? The sound kept you breathing Can something be found To make this all go away Malcontent Boundless and raw Loss of self Misunderstood Pride is lost Innocence gone A new crusade with Endless applause Fallen Sect Scattered Unseen Lost your way In a fallacy scheme Called to give So you gave it all up Shed the past so you could belong Malcontent Boundless and raw Loss of self Misunderstood Called to give So you gave it all up Shed the past so you could belong Will you bring back the sound? The sound kept me breathing Can something be found To make this all go away

Here’s the truth I’ll never be the same My need for you Spans the suspense of the change Beyond the jetty One more bobbing head of hair Beyond my vision Paranoia left to spare You are a liar Shut your mouth There’s nothing silver under your tongue You are a liar Daylight burns There’s nothing golden under your sun If not now then soon I’ll wipe it all away My need for you Spans the slope of my decay And now it's dawning Like a flame finding Its sway We’re starting to awaken As the feeling goes away The only words That you hear now Are from the unsane

Undecided 04:21
Still undecided On the flight back from Seoul Your stories diverging No exchange for your soul I want to get out Got to get out of this place I want to let go Got to let go of the race I need to wake up Make my way back to the moon I need to go now while the ocean’s still blue And nothing is real Considered the options And what to expect With full obligation No one suspects I’ve got to wake up Got to get back from the moon You’ve got to let go No one expects you in tune It’s got to look right No one can know what is true Its gonna be just like the ocean is blue Nothing is real I want to get out Got to get out of this place I want to let go Got to let go of the race I need to wake up Make my way back to the moon I need to go now while the ocean’s still blue I’m making it up I’m building an alternate way I’m killing the past So that my body can stay I want to confess Want to reveal it to you I got no control when the sky is still blue And nothing is real

You tried But no one cared The poisoned apple Empty alone again Nobody turns Nobody stares There’s nowhere to run When nobody cares I was wrong to ever doubt you When you told me who you were I know I’ll never stop from falling For what I lost before Before I won the war You cried But no one heard Why can’t they see that You suffer more than anyone Nobody talks Nobody spins There’s nowhere to hide And nothing to win I was wrong to ever doubt you When you told me who you were I know I’ll never stop from falling For what I lost before Before I won the war Before I won the war The drama’s gone This time Its all a waste of time you can’t fake this And all the dreams you’ve left behind will rise again despite you Nowhere to run Center of nothing Nobody Cares I was wrong to ever doubt you When you told me who you were I know I’ll never stop from falling For what I lost before Before I won the war I wrote a song to every darkness You showed me how to disappear Even my enemies were closer And made so much sense Before I won the war

I’m sliding down the windowpane Watching you watching me They’re taking me away again Hand from the sky Silence from a friend Earth was our last chance But you want to pretend We are hallucinations We reappear each day It’s all a bad translation There’s something in our way Watching me arrange your life While you just collapse in mine Dominoes and too much thought And time Earth was our last chance But now it’s your blind spot You were my last chance But now I’m all that you’ve got It’s all a bad translation No one needs to know You cannot trust your senses But you can let them go You cannot trust your senses But you can let them go let them go

Half Moon 04:40
Another vein through Ohio The plains spilled out like oceans to the trees Not a conscience for miles We thought the locust cloud was honey bees You said we’d give up tonight No more revivalism You said we’d come back down A three wave hold down at Half Moon Your tombstone dances when you try to swim Now you’re only a ruin Open your head let the tourists in I thought we’d give up tonight No more revivalism I always thought we’d come back down Every time you lose your mind a little You start to feel so free You can’t move Your vital signs just scribble Trying to end the dream Every time you lose your mind a little You start to feel so free No one moves Your vital signs all scribble Trying to end this dream No one wants to hear it What time you’ve wasted What trouble you’re always in Now we’re all just ruins Open up and let yourself back in I thought we’d give up tonight

about

Failure Los Angeles, California

As otherworldly as Failure may often sound, the Los Angeles band is anchored by the distinctly terrestrial union of a long friendship between three musical allies. The band hinges on the interplay between Ken Andrews [vocals, guitar, bass, programming], Greg Edwards [vocals, guitar, bass, keys], and Kellii Scott [drums, percussion]. ... more
