Sunlust 04:20
Did the missteps trample you; or Trip you up with some “TO DO” Roaming haunts, up, sore, pissed well past 2AM? Learn to love the life you have Millons pray for less than half Stop your sulking and get off your growing ass Will you tilt your view when there’s no one… To shield your gaze as you lust for the sun? You followed your feelings to their logical end; and Wonder how you’re here again… Let’s bend the rails in front of you There's a better other avenue Transpose the prose wrote by your spirit’s wrecking crew Learn to live the life you love Since you’ve still got time above God save our gray who paved the way in soleless shoes Could you correct course if there’s no one To say you did all that could be done You’ve followed your feelings to their logical end; and Wonder why you’re here again...

Along the wire, we're listening And Hanging on in the air around Filling in your memories You'll never get to forget about (We're) never too tired for listening better than best friends that way listened long and hard enough Tell ya what you should think and say Your warnings only slow us (We'll) Cast them (in) conspiratorial lights The ugly truth is steamrolled by stories (that) make us warm inside You're neverpresent long with friends You “SMH” at your family You know better for them than them You know better for me than me Your warnings only slow us Your cautions, paranoid asides Your elders’ advice will be replaced by artificial life

Fixer 03:35
So she says there's never time enough And lately it's been rough And I know... ...she's sure there is no way So all the weight will stay In your home Keep up fixer You're a chump When you offer plans To fix, you're such a typical man You don't know Work is an escape, An indulgence just the same What do you know? Keep up fixer ‘fess up fixer

SoloMan 03:50
Whose corpse did you want to raise On Friday’s sanctioned celebration? You rained on our perfect parade, with Unbound interrogation. Once you’re started, you can’t stop If she gets hurt it’s her fault Your thirst is primed for every drop You take each word with a grain of salt Have you reached your holy grail (since) when you said “with or without you”? Your urgency (was) a craved cocktail; Are we background people or did we cut through? Once you’re started, you can’t stop If I noticed, it’s my fault Your thirst is primed for every drop You change each word with a grain of salt

I’m running on four hours’ sleep Always got somewhere to be Drive to work while counting sheep Or was I going to school? Embers girl in a broken way Way that shakes and haunts Perfect if you could change one thing I wanted you to want My ‘90 Jetta's windows leak Musty mold on the floor Brakes refill with air after bled My Sisyphean chore Played a show 10 hours ago Somewhere in the bay Nearly died by my closing eyes Rolling off the freeway ‘Cause I don’t want to miss out on a thing Gonna follow every branch as I climb this tree Avoiding false choice growing extra limbs Making deals with the devil to avoid the day of rest Warm my hands on the embers of this passing dream Send my worries chasing smoke out the red chimney To thin out in the wind like a wispy ghost Howling ‘round the neighborhood looking for another host

about

The Silent Game Sacramento, California

The Silent Game is a dynamic Post-Alt Rock band which fuses grungy guitar and bass riffs with spacious drumming, melodic, arpeggiated guitar and beautiful computer-generated textures. Their sound, which has been compared to Radiohead, Placebo, Deftones and Elliott Smith may leave one feeling like they've been pleasantly pummeled by a 1990's wall-of-sound... with all the latest software upgrades. ... more
