Again
03:12
|
|||
|
Come as you are my friend
We’re sitting ducks again
Anchored and held stagnant
The tides turn but the currents don’t
Well I see a storm ahead
Brewing inside my head
Come as you are my friend
We’re sitting ducks again
Changes remain changeless
We’re saving face again
Hidden behind your eyes
Agendas and open faults
Well I see a storm ahead
Brewing inside my head
Changes remain changeless
We’re saving face again
Mumble your solutions
Scream at your solutions
I knew I’d be the one
I knew you’d call me wrong again
Come as you are my friend
We’re sitting ducks again

The Flower & The Fruit
04:03
|
|||
|
I chase the flower
Instead of the fruit
I wanna be your only imperfection
I wanna be the worst in you
And I’d stare into the sun
If it would blind me from the past
But memories don't fade
I'd run from shelter
Just to be caught in your storm
I'd rather fall than never see the view
I'd rather fall if I fell for you
And I’d stare into the sun
If it would blind me from the past
But memories don't fade
I could feast my eyes on you
I could feast my eyes on you
But I'd starve without the fruit
And I’d stare into the sun
If it would blind me from the past
But memories don't fade

Arson Reward
03:08
|
|||
|
Well I’ve seen the darker side of good
Searching for myself for so long
Burn it down
Well I thought you should know
That I need everything
You need and more
Burn it down
Saving my soul for nothing
But another chance to
Be one of your pawns
Well I've seen the light
That night I thought you were there
Well I thought you should know
That I need everything
You need and more
Burn it down

Broken Mirrors
04:44
|
|||
|
It’s been a long long time
That I’ve been living in this skin
You’d expect by now
I’d have a clue of who I am
Show me myself
In broken mirrors
Show me myself
Through your eyes
It’s been a long long time
You’ve been the splinter in my skin
And I still haven’t found a way
To pull you out without the pain
Show me myself
In broken mirrors
Show me myself
Through your eyes
Show me myself
In broken mirrors
Show me myself
Through your eyes

Breathe
05:21
|
|||
|
Pull me to pieces
Tear me limb from limb my dear
Even stones erode in time
Forever phobic of the tide
And one more tomorrow
I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams, now I'm losing all my luster, and I'm bruising underneath
I thought I knew the end
I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams
I thought I knew the end would come on my terms
I thought I knew the end
I'm losing all my luster and I'm bruising underneath
Drawn in your ink
This feigned permanence still bleeds
Don't let my shy thorns pierce your skin
When winter comes to drown my din
And reave my tomorrows
I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams, now I'm losing all my luster, and I'm bruising underneath
I thought I knew the end
I'm wearing at the edges, and I'm tearing at the seams
I thought I knew the end would come on my terms
I thought I knew the end
I'm losing all my luster and I'm bruising underneath
The tables turned
For master and slave
All will fade in time

Tethered Line
03:20
|
|||
|
Close your eyes
Take you to a place inside your memory
Let you be
Take your time
Breaking waves on top of every sensory
A casualty
Well waiting for nothing is all that I’m accustomed to
And praying to something is all that I can seem to do
So let me off the hook
Before I break your tethered line
So let me off the hook
Because we’re living on borrowed time
Right now I need a little guidance
So let me off the hook
I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why
While I’m gone
Find a reason that I need to come along
And sing a song
Taking down
All the times I break the mold and make a sound
I’m drowning out
Well waiting for nothing is all that I’m accustomed to
And praying to something is all that I can seem to do
So let me off the hook
Before I break your tethered line
So let me off the hook
Because we’re living on borrowed time
Right now I need a little guidance
So let me off the hook
I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why
It’s alright after all this time
‘Cause I got what I got what I got what I got to know
Yeah I got what I got what I got what I got to know
So let me off the hook
Before I break your tethered line
So let me off the hook
Because we’re living on borrowed time
Right now I need a little guidance
So let me off the hook
I’m feeling kind of shook and I don’t know why

Torpedoes
04:33
|
|||
|
Torpedoes falling in a line again
We’re shooting cannons we were holding in
Drop me a line before I’m lost
I’d throw you mine no matter the cost
Torpedoes falling in a line again
Scream your confessions to the deaf
Moment of silence just to catch your breath
Showing your scars to the eyes of the blind
And wondering why they don’t reply
Scream your confessions to the deaf
Save your lines for the show
Now I know
I wasn’t meant to get the role
Sinister thoughts and crooked motives
Wicked definitions of how to live
Stealing all you can take from the poor
My sanity exists no more
Sinister thoughts and crooked motives
Save your lines for the show
Now I know
I wasn’t meant to get the role
Save your lines for the show
Now I know
I wasn’t meant to get the role

Utopia
05:09
|

|
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I’ve never been
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I could be with you
By my side
By my side
My only wish is that it’s found in time
Ooh well I’ve been walking, walking
To the places I’ve been told to stray from
I hear them knocking, they're knocking
Me right back down to eye sight
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I’ve never been
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I could be with you
By my side
Ooh my journeys carry, they carry
Me to sights I’d thought I’d never see
Running forever and ever
To the ones that scream for me
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I’ve never been
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I could be with you
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I’ve never been
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I could be with you
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I’ve never been
Searching for utopia, utopia I’m dreaming
Of a place that I could be with you
By my side
By my side

Black Sheep
03:54
|
|||
|
Hey my darling
Hey my darling, don’t you know?
That I’m the black sheep of the herd
Black fur keeps me just as warm
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one
Hey my dear
Hey my darling, I thought
I’d built a nest we would behold
But the rest were building nests made of gold
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one
I wish I was the only one

Off the Railways
03:52
|
|||
|
Well I’ve been lookin’ for a face in the streets
Callin’ hey or all you wanna be free
Things gonna lie down
Sunlight opens up your mindset
Things gonna die down
Or so I’ve heard
Well I’ve been waiting on a voice in a dream
Sounding off on what it already means
But I’m just a youngster
Ain’t we all so existential?
I think I love her
After all
Well I try
To hit you up and tell you goodbye
Life is nothing
But a piece of the pie
And I don’t know where to go anymore
Well I let it all go off the railways somedays
And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways
I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages
Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said
Laid back and empathetic motions to strut
Face it there’s only so much left in the cup
But I got a head start
Shortcut through the empty airwaves
I’ve got a cold heart
Or so I’ve heard
Well she talks like the kinda girls that I like
And she feels tender spirits comin’ to life
But I’m just a bastard
Ain’t we all so open ended?
I think I passed her
Forever now
Well I try
To hit you up and tell you goodbye
Life is nothing
But a piece of the pie
And I don’t know where to go anymore
Well I let it all go off the railways somedays
And I’ll let you know when the world’s gonna go it’s separate ways
I’ve been thinking we’ve been drinkin’ to all the wrong messages
Oh I’m still hung up on every word you said

Chris Yerinides & the Rough Edges Norwalk, Connecticut
Chris Yerinides & the Rough Edges keep the hard rock and grunge flames alive when heavy guitars and loud vocals somehow struggle to be heard. Just as 90s Seattle grunge was a response to the superficial culture of the decade prior, The Rough Edges challenge the status-quo by offering an in-your-face alternative to their contemporaries with heavy riffs, delicate moments, and introspective lyrics. ... more

Live at The Cave

I have the absolute pleasure of playing with Brian (Guitar/Vocals) and Tim (Bass) from Flight of Silence on a bunch of these songs. Check out their band's recent tune!
