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
03:37
|

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

Six Feet Away
03:22
|

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

What I've Learned
02:49
|
|||
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

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
