Later Days 02:39
Monday flows in like poison Tuesday, reflect on our sins Wednesday, inertia sets in Thursday, throw all our bets in Searching for the wills and ways No more running through this maze Candles lit to break the haze Praying for later days Scramble for untethered time How can freedom have a finish line? All the hours, not our own Passions pushed to the dead zone Searching for the wills and ways No more running through this maze Candles lit to break the haze Praying for later days How were you raised? (With iron in my soul) How is life appraised? (Can't breathe through this hole) Who do you believe? (The bold and boundless) What will you achieve? (Face no and say yes) Left right left, all just fine No need to march in a line Maybe time to dance instead The life that wins is one that's fed Searching for the wills and ways No more running through this maze Candles lit to break the haze Praying for later days

Time Check 03:54
Days gone, an hour like a year Stay strong. It's worse than what you fear. Life passed while you forgot to breate Here at last, watch all the people seethe. It's time, a psychic zoo. (Seams ripping) Time lies to you (Keeps slipping) It's time, a mental coup (Seams ripping) Time lies to you Stalled out. When t did I cease to grow? Ask myself what young folks know Raw truth and raw naivete All I know is I gotta break away It's time, a psychic zoo. (Seams ripping) Time lies to you (Keeps slipping) It's time, a mental coup (Seams ripping) Time lies to you You're lamenting that it lingers While it's slipping through your fingers You keep fretting that it's flying It's your own awareness dying Mirrors show former generations More grief. Less anger. Far more patience. How is it that I've come this far? Life to death like a shooting star. It's time, a psychic zoo. (Seams ripping) Time lies to you (Keeps slipping) It's time, a mental coup (Seams ripping) Time lies to you

Pour me something strong Make it two One just for me One to forget about you You've been on my mind What more can I do? You taunt me every night Don't take my daylight too Sometimes to love, is to lose To Forgive, we decide to choose I could start a fire, with my thoughts of you Your cold stare brings me, back to the truth You've been on my mind What more can I do? You taunt me every night Don't take my daylight too When you finally decide To give up the fight I walk away tattered Lucky to be alive And even though a piece of me Will always be with you You better believe I'll be taking one too You've been on my mind What more can I do? You taunt me every night Don't take my daylight too Don't take my daylight too

Tattoo 03:05
I said to the man, "Tattoo my mind With permanent pictures, edges defined. I'm lovin' 'em, I'm sure, so carve 'em in Forevermore. Let life begin" His face, it broke into a smile Said, "Lemme bend your ear a while. Your mind's been tattooed since your first breath. The pictures remain until your death." What does it mean to free your mind? How does it feel to free your mind? The words slapped me straight in the heart. I said, "I'll tear my mind apart. Your tattoos are in the wrong place. I want a blank, pictureless space." The man said, "Blank minds don't exist. Besides, your tattoos would be missed. You need them to make sense of life." But I'd already grabbed the knife. What does it mean to free your mind? How does it feel to free your mind? All I need is just to know My mind's my own making Conceptions, opinions Aren't yours for the taking But he says, "Girl what you think? You surely didn't choose it. You can't change the past my dear. You cannot ever lose it." Wondering how do I find the order of my mind? I said to the man, "Tattoo my mind."

Remind Me 03:30
Swim around in your pretty bowl 'Round and around you go again Call your world paradise As you turn to me a smile, but when Will I return to the child within No, you know I never advanced that far Leave me with my fairy stories I'll leave you half-dead at the bar Remind me again Songs are lovers Hit me hard Remind me why I must be strong Drink the glass that's put before you You know that's what they say to do You've passed, so turn in your assignment And watch as they all bow to you I'm wondering when this time will end It seems I've been here quite a while Leave me with my liar's fury I'll leave you with your foolish smile Remind me again Songs are lovers Hit me hard To remind me why I must be strong Weren't you the one who told me That they weren't talking mirrors They're mirrors covering talking walls You cut me down the middle You dug it out while hatred called You showed us all a riddle You broke the glass and burned the walls Today I'll tell myself it hurts less If I'm the one who goes away Feel like water's mocking me, though Because she's got the guts to stay There's a song somewhere in the space between us I am not too blind to see Feel my old tricks don't work these days You have time, so sing for me.

Fire 02:25
Start out as a seed From there, a lottery And trust to synergy Luck may fill the need Still there's no certainty Just shit philosophy For the heart of the burn Give it room to breathe, give it room to breathe For the heart of the burn Give us room to breathe, give us room to breathe Caught up in this game Can't remember why I came Some need I cannot name Each day it feels the same Consumption by a flame Desire must be tamed For the heart of the burn Give it room to breathe, give it room to breathe For the heart of the burn Give us room to breathe, give us room to breathe Haunted by reality Choke on your hypocrisy Burn it down! To the ground! Take your fucking hands off me! Tortured by your insanity Kicking, screaming "I can't breathe!" "I can't breathe!" "I can't breathe!" Raging deep inside Impossible to hide Can you embrace the ride? Roars pulls back like the tide Each moment you decide Will fire be your guide? For the heart of the burn Give it room to breathe, give it room to breathe For the heart of the burn Give us room to breathe, give us room to breathe

These four walls are holding me down This virus has this city feeling like a ghost town These four walls my only friends Wake up hungover and alone do it all again We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay How does it feel fearing for your own life? Time to open your eyes up to black and white This divisions got us paralyzed How many more people have to die? We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay We're all gonna be okay There's a freedom you want Only comes with a gun Stuck inside your dead hand. Would you take a shot If you need it or not Just to make this all end? And have you forgot All that history's taught Or is it only got inside your head? It's been so long it feels like the first time What can I do to help my soul unwind I step outside and everything feels new Surrounded by a bunch of people wondering what to do We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We're not gonna be okay We'll never be the same We'll never be the same We'll never be the same

She's sitting with her back turned towards the world The hair on her neck raised, her lip curled I know if I say, "What's wrong?" she'll say, "Nothin'." Instead I just say, "Honey, what you thinkin'?" She says, "I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid." Tell you that I'm chokin' on the bad ones So you show me you're a bad one, too Don't you know that this world is exhausting And I thought I could count on you But, I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. What I've learned to believe Dare yourself to succeed When courage carves your deeds That's the charge spirit needs Hear this now: there's no such thing as future So get onto your knees or take a bow You look back or forward, you'll find nothing The only thing that's real is here and now And, I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I am not afraid, no, I am not afraid. I AM NOT AFRAID

Magic Lost 04:49
The glass cuts truth conveniently Warps the very heart of me Claims that all will turn out fine Deception can't compete with time Now I need to face the storm The sail I raise is whipped and torn Thought I had a handle on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing Thought I had my finger on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing Walked into a world of you The breakdown, it came right on cue Screamed and swore and hit the floor A battered soul cannot endure Shamed by this fragility Uncharted, hidden part of me Thought I had a handle on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing Thought I had my finger on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing Why are we taught to believe Security myths that are weaved Now who's gonna pin my feet to the ground? Search the wind for wisdom, but there is no sound Today you're here in memory As we all wonder how to be Realize I'm a part of you That walks the world, at least that's true Navigate a tempest's rage Pretend you're watching from backstage Thought I had a handle on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing Thought I had my finger on it I knew nothing Healing is imaginary I know nothing

about

Late Night Revelations Asheville, North Carolina

Driven by a love of grunge and punk, coupled with the desire for basic human interaction, Late Night Revelations formed in the Shut Down Era of 2020. After getting kicked out of two practice spaces, one with a startling resemblance to a kill room, they settled into a converted garage where they regularly write songs and make lots of noise. ... more
