Overture 03:15
Pressure's on us all to grow Whip us into shape As we are candy-fed traits Of colliding ambitions Reality we'll never know Call me naive I may be deceived But surely there's a way out for us all Can't stand alone like we don't stand a chance Glued to phone, the grass, the home, the life, the strife, The dream we need Before it's gone

Daydreaming 03:34
Losing perspective of the ground As a plane passes overhead The trailing cloud of white marks the way Like the churned up path of a boat on the bay I've been told I'm lost in my own space I need to get back to a world That's real to the rest of you But I'm not sure if that's what I need A world that's real to the rest of you But that's a boring world to me I like to drift daydreaming Climbing up mountains Running through fountains Swimming in oceans And causing commotion I've been told I'm lost in my own space I need to get back to a world That's real to the rest of you But I'm not sure if that's what I need A world that's real to the rest of you But that's a boring world to me 'Cause the days are short and the night are long We don't have much time to play along So lets have a little fun for awhile In our minds before we die

Paper Candy 03:10
Take a trip out of your mind Just like a holiday Remember what you find 'Cause nothing's here to stay Keep your eyes closed for too long you'll go blind Even melancholy birds can sing a tuneYour going numb Just taste the paper candy Open wide You feel a celebration inside (yeah yeah yeah yeah) You never really know until you try Light up your life Sink into reflection Dip your hand in and reach out To make a connection Rushing and rushing around my head's full of questions I have just left the ground in another direction Everything seems so small when I'm so high Just taste the paper candy Open wide You feel a celebration inside (yeah yeah yeah yeah) You never really know until you try Take a trip out of your mind Just like a holiday Remember what you find 'Cause nothing's here to stay No nothing's here to stay Nothing's here to stay nothing's here to stay

On the road again Seems like we're always traveling To places we've never been Crossing county lines Playing the songs of our lives Fresh faces every night And they go (woooh) I just miss my friends More than anything x2 (woooh) Listening it brings me back Drowning in the sounds of yesterday 'Cause all I hear's the music that we made And getting to tomorrow seems impossible as everybody Screams your words In a rag-tag caravan Breaking down like you and me Well it's the world we all dreamed of Back we were young And there was nothing but us (woooh) Listening it brings me back Drowning in the sounds of yesterday 'Cause all I hear's the music that we made And getting to tomorrow seems impossible as everybody Screams your words It all seems the same Shadows roam the stage But she's a million lives away Just a thought in my head I screamed how could I ever choose Between living out my dreams and loving you

Year of twenty-one spent in the basement and garage Working out the sounds in my head To whiskey fueled guitars Angel from across the lake She spoke in foreign tongues I'll take you to that special place A majestic room of wonders Give you a chance to make a name Spent three years in the game I'd sell my soul to claim to fame Hoping I can make I don't if I can take much more Waiting in the wings Where the spotlight will never scorch I wanna feel it x2 I wanna feel it burning through my soul Losing all control (Big Break) Stepping on down to the scene (Big Break) Gonna make my mark gonna get my green (Big Break) For your love I'm a fiend so give it to me (Big Break) One kiss ain't enough baby (Big Break) I want the whole damn thing (Big Break) This is the life I wanna live for eternity Roll in the band Mic me up Put a drink in my hand We're walking in the footsteps of giants Trying to leave a trace Yes we're trying to leave a trace Did the well run dry Did we put it all into one try Can we get back again Or are we doomed to a book full of pictures We got a leg up on the rest But we're fading fast Fading fast Hanging on by a thread Gotta pull it together Gotta pull it together before we're dead Hoping I can make I don't if I can take much more Waiting in the wings Where the spotlight will never scorch I wanna feel it x2 I wanna feel it burning through my soul Losing all control (Big Break) Stepping on down to the scene (Big Break) Gonna make my mark gonna get my green (Big Break) For your love I'm a fiend so give it to me (Big Break) One kiss ain't enough baby (Big Break) I want the whole damn thing (Big Break) This is the life I wanna live for eternity Roll in the band Mic me up Put a drink in my hand We're walking in the footsteps of giants Trying to leave a trace Yes we're trying to leave a trace

I'm drifting comatose on a tide Am I dreaming stranded between a world that's mine And a world that's real Stranded between a world that's mine And a world that's real Close your eyes let the two worlds collide What is real To the rest of you What is real

about

"The days are short and the nights are long, we don't have much time to play along. So let's have a little fun for awhile, in our minds before we die."

'Daydreaming' is a conceptual album that dwells upon the desire to be a successful musician while trying to function as an adult in today's society. It came together over a three year period that saw the departure of two original members, and the arrival of three new ones. The love of the music on the album kept the project alive, despite the challenges that arose. We hope you enjoy!
