lyrics

maybe i should write it on walls
so i can see every single time i’ve failed at this
desperate times are falling like stars down on my head
show me there’s a heart to bind to

warm night skies harbor lies
tell me its not contrived
speak with your eyes like knives

why is it every time i bring one in I choke?
nothing seems right anymore

these hands are stained red
from the hearts that i have crushed between my palms
these hands are stained red
as i’m trying to move on

maybe i’m just scared
maybe i’m just tired
but lately i just lie awake

i lie awake at night
hoping for us that i’m not right

is this contrived?
a solitary state for all of my life
feels like what it’s led to
is this just contrived?

is love real or is it just a fiction of a lonely mind?
tell me it’s something with no explanation but what we feel
warm night skies, don’t leave me out hanging on this hopeless pipe dream
give me hope. give me hope for a new beginning

about

Couteaux San Francisco, California

Couteaux formed the summer of 2011 after the demise of the post-rock group Atheorem, and as a side-project to the bay area metal band Simoom.
With our genres combined we can play melodic music with a punch...and also summon captain planet.

Our debut EP "Sail West to Reach The East" will be released June 30th, 2012 with all songs fully downloadable from our bandcamp...for a measly sum of $3.
