Life Before

Hate
Ain’t a cure for me
But I don’t know that I’ve ever really tried before
Drained
And under weight
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been alive before
I’ve been alive before
Hey
I’m losing faith
Fake
Your security
But I don’t know that I’ve ever felt the sun before
Pain
Beyond the shade
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been alive before
I’ve been alive before
Hey
I’m losing faith

Haloed
While I watch you
Wither in your drought
Wither in your drought
Wither in your drought now
‘Cause I never saw you standing outside
Begging in the rain
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
Hollow
Hollow
You wanted charity
To fill your overflowing hand
So you prayed for rain to build stronger waves in the oceans
Ignore the desert’s burning land
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
I won’t save you
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
Hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
You’re hollow
Hollow

Club & Spade
03:34
|
|
||
|
You play the spade
I hold the club and I’ll play your charade
And I tried but I’m still too late
And I don’t wanna be just a frame for your memory
And I don’t wanna be found to blame for your misery
And I don’t wanna be just a frame
For your memory
End the debate
I live alone but I live in your shade
And I tried but I’m still afraid
Impatiently waiting for one false move
Because the moment that I’m given a break from indecision you can bet that I’m chasing you down
And I don’t wanna be just a frame for your memory
And I don’t wanna be found to blame for your misery
And I don’t wanna be just a frame
For your memory
You play the spade
I hold the club and I’ll play your charade
And I don’t wanna be just a frame for your memory
And I don’t wanna be found to blame for your misery
And I don’t wanna be just a frame for your memory
And I don’t wanna be just a frame
For your memory
And I don’t wanna be found to blame for your misery

Serpentine
02:37
|
|

|
Open jaw
I’m immobile and you’re slithering
Serpentine
Open claws
I’m immobile and you’re circling
Like a hawk
I don’t mind
Well I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Just don’t
Take me
Alive
Me alive
Pat me down
I’m a servant and you’re royalty
Where’s your crown?
Chained and bound
I’m a servant and I’m suffering
Serves me right
I don’t mind
Well I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Just don’t
Take me
Alive
Me alive
Me alive
Me alive
Take me alive
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
Take me alive

Treason
04:50
|
|||
|
I’ve been waiting for
Another chance at silence
You’ve been praying for
A way out of your disguises
So I’d see you
Sell your treason
But you can’t deceive the blind
Without running your mouth
Spare me from your
Plea bargain with the divine
Your guilt is punishment for your crime
The peace you found was stolen from me
Spare me this time from
Another one of your lies
I’ve already fallen
For it once in my life
Just to have you
Sell your treason
But you can’t deceive the blind
Without running your mouth
Spare me from your
Plea bargain with the divine
Your guilt is punishment for your crime
The peace you found was stolen from me
Sell your treason
But you can’t deceive the blind
Without running your mouth
Spare me from your
Plea bargain with the divine
Your guilt is punishment for your crime
The peace you found was stolen from me

My Broken Wings
03:47
|
|||
|
I’d break my bones
With sticks and stones
Just to prove I have a spine
But did I even really have to try?
So put me up
And hear me out
While I can still make out your song
Anything just to prove you wrong
Ooh I don’t know
Why I ever left the nest
Ooh I don’t know
Why I left the nest for you
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
You armed yourself
And locked me out
Like I’m a thief within the night
I couldn’t steal from you if I tried
With everything
You ever had
You never had enough
I’m the fool for sharing all my trust
Ooh I don’t know
Why I ever left the nest
Ooh I don’t know
Why I left the nest for you
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings
On my broken wings

Over You
02:54
|
|
||
|
I ran to you
I ran to you
Now I’m out of breath
I’m out of breath
And you’re at ease
I fell for you
I fell for you
Now I can’t get up
I can’t get up
Without your hand
Save me
Save me
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away
I’m onto you
I’m onto you
So I’ll throw in the towel
Throw in the towel
Then throw it away
I’m over you
I’m over you
So I’ll get you back
I’ll get you back
And get you away
Save me
Save me
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away
I can’t keep fading away

Remedy
03:48
|
|
||
|
It’s fleeting
Never to return
Did I fight to fossilize a breathing life
So I ran away
Receding
Points in parallel
We’re perfectly rehearsed in disconnection
I have a way
Yeah I had a way
Broken down and bruised up without the charm
No one around to rip the bandage off
If I knew before that this is how it all would end
I wouldn’t have put so much into what it meant
Yeah
I don’t need a prescription
I just need
Your remedy
Counterweight is all that’s on my side
And the magic’s faded like it was a shine
If the morning sun wasn’t proof that yesterday has died
It’d be so much easier to watch it rise
Yeah
I don’t need a prescription
I just need
Your remedy
Your remedy
Your remedy
Your remedy
Yeah
I don’t need a prescription, no
I just need
Your remedy
Your remedy
Your remedy
Your remedy

War Sirens
03:34
|
|||
|
You tried to shield me from the world
With your blankets made of steel
Where I was safe
And resentful
‘Cause you never stopped to ask
If I could
Breathe beneath the weight
Of what you called protection
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding off your war sirens
And tearing up all of your silver linings
And now I know
That if you ever
Gave me my very own
That it could
Only mean one thing
That you already donned the gold
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding your war sirens

Heaven Never Knew Me
02:58
|
|
||
|
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be much
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna look up
Heaven never knew me
Heaven’s only looking down
If heaven only knew me
Heaven would have fallen down
I don’t know what I’m fighting
But I’m fighting for control
I don’t know why I’m fighting against
My own soul
Doubt
Within myself
Knock me down
With your narratives and your arrogance aloud
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna find l***
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna give up
Heaven never knew me
Heaven’s only looking down
If heaven only knew me
Heaven would have fallen down
I don’t know what I’m fighting
But I’m fighting for control
I don’t know why I’m fighting against
My own soul

Memories
Come crashing down into your head again
You never know
What could have been
Fighting so
That every part of you won’t atrophy
You’re losing steam again
But when all is said and done
And the dust settles without you
Yeah
It’s not too late to think about what you want to
Be
Erode the past and float away
I’m all alone
And feeling distant
But I’m never free
Why should I be?
And you said I couldn’t live
Without your blessings
But waited till I was gone
Yeah
It’s not too late to think about what you want to
Be
Erode the past and float away
But when all is said and done
And the dust settles without you
Yeah
It’s not too late to think about what you want to
Be
Erode the past and float away
Yeah
It’s not too late to think about what you want to
Be
Erode the past and float away
Erode the past and float away
Erode the past and float away

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
