Son of the system A child of war he cannot fight A mother’s conviction Try and escape he cannot hide Open doorways and starlit sounds As the looking glass fades Opulence on this carousel of the beautiful ones But something’s not right Son of the system A child of war he cannot fight A father’s intentions Poising everything in sight One by one, as the air runs thin for the struggling fold Two by tow as we take control of everything else It’s starting to rise Son of the system A child of war he cannot fight A mother’s conviction Try and escape he cannot hide

Stop me before I get tired of the same situation The cat’s out of the bag now Downtown on the corner with another Don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear this Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own Don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear it Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own Tell me if I should sit back while it falls out from under Your footing unstable Grab ahold of the sky as you’re falling But next time remind me Of the ways that I’m there when you Don’t seem to need it Looking down at the bottom of a barrel Don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear this Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own But don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear it Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own Don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear this Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own But don’t speak it’s ok I don’t think I want to hear it Excuses come easy I should I know I’ve made quite a few of my own

Screaming at the statues on the lawn Losing any sense of self control Find myself alone and then Television’s on the fritz again We should just go throw it away Lemon lime twister Yeah I think I saw your sister last night Out past a quarter to two Beta Carotene wasteland Now you’re off to the next move Don’t you come down until we are through Where have all the good times left and gone? Wondering if they ever came around Would I fall in love again with someone other than myself, my friend? This life is just such a charade Lemon lime twister Yeah I think I saw your sister last night Out past a quarter to two Beta Carotene wasteland Now you’re off to the next move Don’t you come down until we are through Lemon lime twister Yeah I think I saw your sister last night Out past a quarter to two Beta Carotene wasteland And you’re off to the next move Don’t you come down until we are through Now you’re running to the wrong side of the ship cause you know it’s sinking But no one else has a clue

Disentangled 03:01
Now that we’ve come this far I don’t expect you’ll understand I’ll leave it all behind Forgetting just how sad it is Then you get under my Cold and thin contorted skin And all All I hear Is the silence you bring I’ll find some sense And I’ll wait for you to change A loaded mouth of lies Twisted tongue and serpent’s smile You slither by and by I sit alone and wonder why No comfort I have found In watching you consume my mind. And all All I hear Is the silence you bring I’ll find some sense And I’ll wait for you

Your moves are fine It’s all we do to keep it in place Hanging out for now Truth is I’m mortified By your grace it seems Your thoughts are mine A stoic figure enters my mind Who does she want now? Changes like the weather And clouds are blowing in When should I just let it go? Let it end in silence Ask yourself would you look back Or would you run for your life? Unglued, but I See the pieces fall into place Nausea is mine I cannot stomach all we’ve become And all that we’ve made

Dark Army 03:27
Let us in your silver lining Leaves you trembling on the floor Now I can’t feel you My limbs are numb We’re innocent here We are innocent here Now I can’t see you My eyes are blind We’re innocent here We are innocent here Half lit pathways open on Promises of what we’ve done Broken pages of your story One that no one lives to tell Now I can’t feel you My limbs are numb We’re innocent here We are innocent here Now I can’t see you My eyes are blind We’re innocent here We are innocent here Let us in your silver lining Leaves you trembling on the floor Now I can’t feel you My limbs are numb We’re innocent here We are innocent here Now I can’t see you My eyes are blind We’re innocent here We are innocent here

Edit 04:02
I’ll surrender myself I’ll lay my hand facedown Stripped of all that controls me Can’t save you from yourself Innocence is over At least that’s what we’re told The countdown It’s starting Change is bound to come They beg us To feed them Always wanting more The chants are Still calling Slowly drowning out An answer to all The questions are left out Broken down and beaten We pull ourselves back up Raise a fist in anger Then watch it fall back down Ours is not to question Just fall back into line The countdown It’s starting Change is bound to come They beg us To feed them Always wanting more The chants are Still calling Slowly drowning out An answer to all The questions are left out

Slip 02:51
Who am I to tell you that your mediocre life is tainted? You’ll find out someday I know Maybe I should clear my head and the way I see you clouded in my far too empty mind I miss all the finer things we know When I come down to the excuses we’ve made I’ll forget all our troubles and we’ll make some Who are you to listen to my every word I’m speaking softly So you can’t hear what I say Maybe I should scream my lungs out and blow away what you’ve accepted in your warm embrace Who are we to take for granted all the things that we’ve been handed? I know that someday you will Give it all to someone who is nothing like the man that I am and all I’ve ever known I miss all the finer things we know When I come down to the excuses we’ve made I’ll forget all our troubles and you’ll make some for me

Distant voices Slowly fade away Is anyone out there? Who hears the same thing? We are never going back This is not what I’m here for Shouldn’t shock you Don’t need words to show you how I feel about you Tell yourself that it’s alright But don’t look in the mirror You might not like who’s looking back Wash away denial I’ve been mistaken Been played for a fool But we’ll see who’s laughing When it comes back to you We’re not going back This is not what I’m here for Shouldn’t shock you Don’t need words to show you how I feel about you Tell yourself that it’s alright But don’t look in the mirror You might not like who’s looking back Wash away denial Is she lost? Or is she waiting? For someone who’ll make a change

REVIEWS:

IndieCriollo - "We start today's charts with a doublet of mothsounds, who bring us a whole experimental universe in their music, in such a way that meeting each luminous fiber of their sounds is an opportunity to experience a quite strong trip, in which it seems that we we drown by the impressive fullness of its textures, this is the case of All That We Have Lost , which refers us to a space of clear and almost mortal loss, with the power to encourage us to break all memories to fulfill our disdain for losing what you have to come. mothsounds continues with Beta Carotene , one of those songs that take you by surprise and only want you to jump or get into your world while you catch your breath, thanks to the power of rock that this band proposes. Finding these two songs is like seeing the curiosity of rock, and how it can unleash you with fury with nothing to leave behind. It is pure rock so that you feel and do not lose your mind, so untie it all."
