Sicovit 05:57
lyrics

You woke the beast It’s time to feast Hope you enjoy your last sleep We’ll never stop We don’t give a fuck We have been here for too long Are we born just to die of shame? Do we love just so our hearts will break? Do we feel to experience pain? It’s time we made a change All goes away Everything we got fades slowly If we are to see the day I hope you give it up and love thee

Forward Motion 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Hello, is everybody well? Do you got me, feel me? I feel like it’s been many years Since we got this out our system Okay, this is not But everybody tryna call it pop And we party through the night, the extra hour We see the sun, goodnight Oh! With a confidence in our delight When we kiss at night I can feel the light The saddest part is several days I’ll be back to the same old me Now let’s get down Let’s break it up, let’s give them hell! We have hang-ups Of every little thing in our lives Give up expectations Just focus on the forward motion Give a little bit over here Get a little bit over there That’s love That’s forward motion It’s hard to say what we should do Complex distractions from what’s true Enslaved by what makes us afraid A gentle wave can change the mood

Down to My Bones 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Took out my heart, hey there it goes. Woo! I’m looking for what everyone should know. Woo! Hooking masses and attract them to the show We all wish we could strip right on down to our bones Lift my head and listen now I feel like I got my song Nobody is set to live for long Whoa, hold on there for a second man… I feel like everyone is blind I know this is the darkest night Where did we go wrong, where did we lose our sight? I wish that everyone would look into the sky It’s time that god’s will be shown Ascendence, loss of control Open up and just let go We’ll never know, we’ll never know, oh Consciousness a living dream Shared by every living thing Endless void shared by light beams Just look and see, look and see, see I hope the human race will find Harmony in the darkest night All that we can do is hold each other tight And dance until our hearts become alike Holy I can’t explain this life and light I can’t rest until this moment The moment it comes

The way you talk to me I can’t go on, I can’t go on It’s been a long time since I thought about your face It’s funny how the memories come rushing back into place I didn’t ask for this shit but I’m gonna deal with it I’m not a strong man, but I feel like this is it I’m gonna call and lay down everything

"Indistinguishable gibberish" I think it’s about time we left this scene Got my heart, got my bottle, let’s go smoke a bowl of weed We’ll drive all night and find this tranquil beach I’m gonna miss your motha fuckin hair blowing on the breeze

The Mistress 05:27
lyrics
buy track
Are you the mistress? Is something wrong? I didn't mind it You cracking down Why did you come back? To find yourself? I am an addict I take a bow And now it's final Nothing will change I gotta keep up Whatever pays A little devil Sharp in her gaze All you demand girl I'll be your slave My god, pour it again how long, have we been friends? Oh lord, don't leave me alone Oh we better be careful Everybody being faithful? Show us what you got move your booty left and right and shake it shake it shake it shake it Well it's been a hundred years Since the energy in here Reached these levels Oh I swear you have them doe eyes Kinky dark commanding sex drive Baby if you please I'll be on my hands and knees to meet your every need and every single act of pleasure you design from my surrender fills me with a satisfaction no words can explain My god, pour it again How long, have we been friends? Oh lord, is this the end? I don't want to be left alone

From the Dirt 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Here in the crowd I can be anyone But I could be myself And become real for once Here we are everything All that we wanna be Making connections we hope live for an eternity Turn the volume down and see Who’s gravitating close to me Up from the dirt What if we found each other? What if we got in bed? Our bodies bound together Why don’t you cuddle me? Hopelessly confident And everybody surrenders on the high I take em’ on again I needed harder love I heard you found a place where we can be like animals What is love? And now I gotta say… Nuther game, another life, ha! From the dirt, we will rise Oh my god think I love you Little lightning inside you When you’re gone I’ll find you You’re the god I hold on to Memories of our favorite spot Tell secrets, kiss, and fuck I can pretend you are anyone I can transcend to oblivion And all I could think about for several days Is your pretty face and the rising sun And you are the only one who knew me fully My queen of the amazon And I’m wrong, gotta get real with shit I find out you a mistress I realize I’m pretentious, contentious, and filled with bullshit But I gotta believe it’s all for you and me And we could become three Maybe four, be a family Then all of us will rise up above the dirt

Grind 04:01
lyrics
buy track
When it calls I’ll leave home To a land Of cyclical I’ve had nights But now they’re gone I’m a slave to paper, clocks, and summation So what the hell’s it for? I can’t take no more Is this a way to live a life? So here I go and in the end it’s all again Oh shit, I hit the ground runnin’ Ya’ll never saw this motha fucka comin’ Overlords, overlords Did you forget we own the scene? It takes a movement and not what’s in your pocket No chance you’re ever gonna stop it Find your humanity or lose it to a raging sea I’m gonna take em’ on, gonna take em’ on I’m broken Life’s hopeless Please show the way We’re helpless Lords help us We’ll follow if you promise us a change

Tell Me All 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Okay, this life is not what I expect but I find Something pretty everyday for me to lay my eyes on And I expect all the best dirt under my feet and sun on my chest Working hard everyday to earn what I give back So tell me all! When did this all come round? Where did we fall off? Let’s get back on! So tell me all!

Light Years from Home 06:25
lyrics
buy track
What is it, when we find the day, When we have to say, it’s all that I can take? Was afraid of the night, was afraid of the might It comes again What is it? The patterns and shapes, That make up your face, are calling me to stay And I pray for your life, yet it’s time for goodbye A fitting end What is it? Soaring through the cosmos We’ll come around, you’ll hear the sound Of everybody’s echo It’s in the clouds and underground I wanted to be the one to change the world, but how? When I’m light years from home Behave soul We make gold In space alone A circle We cycle She makes us whole

The Founder 05:11
lyrics
buy track
How did we get here? Is this the beginning? Did we come from better times? Are we forgiven? I’ll be there when it’s all comin’ round Memories in pieces on the ground Broken hearts under an open sky This life is wont to get you high What would they think of this? What would they think of all my gold? Could I have made this mess? Did I make everybody go? I know that it’s hard to face the day When you’re cold, tired, and afraid But you are the founder of your brain So go out and make the change you want in others A herald cried, did you hear the sound? Is this not what we found? This cycle pulls us round and round, and again And it works! I know the way Ship is onward night and day When it calls I can’t hide the moment I can’t withhold the nature of this wave I know that it’s hard to find the time I know that the heart will finally die No matter, in darkest night the sun won’t fail to rise

about

Dear Listener,
It took over two years from inception to finalization... but our debut LP is finally here. While this record was gestating, we went through resets, breakups, breakdowns, and upsets. It was a reminder that the balance of our lives is incredibly fragile, and that when things tip out of control, sometimes what's needed is to recognize that we are simply in a state of transition, and that, despite a few bumps and bruises along the way, we will come out on the other side feeling balanced again, reborn with a stronger foothold than before. Quarter Life is an exploration of identity in an ever changing reality, executed during a state of flux in our personal and public lives. We hope that our energy spent resolving our own quarter life crises' and channeling that through our music allows you some comfort and energy when you need it most. Music has always been a healing force in our lives. We thank you immensely for purchasing this record and supporting us.

We would like to thank Jilly, Bexx, Tiger, Rachel, Ozzy, Diego, Brian, Chris, Ashyln, Kate K, Berto, Kevin M, Wylde House, Steve at Bridgeset Sound, Lee and Mike at Westtown Entertainment, and our families for supporting us through the creation of this record.

<3 Toni and Monty
