Midnight in Austin, We're walking the street New years just upon us and of course we can't agree Issues in the air, easy to see She won't  look past them, Or solve them with me She wants out She wants out for good She wants out She wants out The excuse tents to be - That it’s all about me The excuse tents to be She says she wants to set me free She want out Chemicals and money, On her mind Everyone knows that's what life's about Even though the kids about to change The truth doesn't matter when your selfish and estranged She wants out She wants out for good She wants out She wants out The excuse tents to be, That it’s all about me The excuse tents to be, She says she wants to set me free- She want out Midnight in Austin, Midnight in Austin We were walking the street, we can't agree

Naive 05:34
Something about you I can’t explain - think about you night and day Your magic comes over me and it feels right Jumped through the hoops even more Mostly end up on the floor and when it over Who was I to think - Really could survive - Way that you were used to You grew up poor, but you wanted more, more than I could give you I was naive in so many ways- Idealism was on my brain- on my brain So I wash the tears from my face and I move on Didn’t wake up, had a dream - I was on- I was on my knees Diving down like a submarine in the ocean full of thieves And I really enjoyed my time with you - while you were true- you were true You grew up poor, but wanted more, more than I could give you

It’s gotten where, where - I need Symbiosis of the heart is - part of me Growing like a seed- into the dark Shows me the universe was just one big spark Just one big spark - Just one big spark - Just one spark Endless mornings I start - to figure it out Thoughts of happy moments float - floating around Dreams hinder and give me sa sa sa sounds Shows me the world should be - Responsible Responsible somehow - People need to think responsible now - Right now A real romance Feel the truth within Nobody hurts Bodies full of sin A happy heart I can do without But a sinister romance, Is full of doubt Pile of paper blowing, gas station - parking lot Wind takes a gust, will it meet it’s fate or - will it not The hood is just as important as the world Start local then if you would, and just believe you could Raise consciences, oh you really would Oh please you surely could, And it would work Write it down it - begins Word is mighty, mightier with - the pen One bright star, is under your skin Eventual inhibition - - - until the end The world is floating through our fingertips The dreams of many men - Gone if we don’t have consciousness within A real romance Feel the truth within Nobody hurts Bodies full of sin A happy heart I can do without But a sinister romance, Is full of doubt

Tomorrow 04:55
Tonight it’s you and me Tonight we can see if can even make it work this time There's always tomorrow Tomorrow we wake up late Tomorrow I want to stay with you tonight We fight to say good bye You and me we have history no one knows But the truth is I fell for you some time ago You and me we’ve done things I haven't told Oh the stories, they wouldn’t understand, are in my soul Tonight you and me Tonight let’s see if I can keep you this time There may not be a tomorrow Tomorrow I still have you Tomorrow lets see what you wanna do tonight Can’t get you off my mind You and me we have history no one knows But the truth is I fell for you some time ago You and me we’ve done things I haven't told The stories, they wouldn’t understand, are in my soul Tonight it’s you and me Tonight we can see if can even make it work this time There's always tomorrow Tomorrow we wake up late Tomorrow I want to stay with you tonight There may not be a tomorrow You and me we have history no one knows But the truth is I fell for you some time ago You and me we’ve done things I haven't told The stories, they wouldn’t understand, are in my soul

Left Behind 06:32
No it’s not- it’s not easy no its not a simple soliloquy It’s a rippling obscurity - all the time No it’s not- always breezy It’s 1984 social bureaucracy Controlled is finally the way to be Don’t stop, don’t stop believing Don’t stop, the money will stop and will be societies left behind I’ve got a synthetic life, gonna live forever attitude Is constantly on my mind That thing is loaded - it’s gonna go off It’s acting like it’s got it own mind Looking for those - it knows deep inside Don’t wanna think about their life or their time People laugh at you, and your false sense of conspiracy You question all forms of societal concurrency But that thing is loaded - it’s gonna go off A machine of a thousand arms government crimes

Side to Side 04:22
You had dreams of being, wealthy and known Business was busy, but you we’re all alone You had ideas of seeing the world from those eyes No clue how to roll from side to side You had the world in your hands at one time you see Dwindled away by your the greed and mirky life You had visions of living in a comfortable place But creativity crawls in a seedier space You had to run, run, run, run, run You had to run, run, run, run, run You had for cover but in so many ways Fate, fate, fate Followed you into that deep dark cave You wanted material objects you could adore
They won’t make you happy because you’d be poor You had dreams of being, wealthy and known Business was busy, but you we’re all alone You had ideas of seeing the world from those eyes No clue how to roll from side to side You had to run, run, run, run, run You had to run, run, run, run, run You had for cover but in so many ways Fate, fate, fate Followed you into that deep dark cave You had the world in your hands at one time you see Dwindled away by your the greed and mirky life

Basement 04:05
We started way below the ground In a place that had a very small sound We all felt, we felt the need To press play on the movie that would be In a basement far underneath the earth where the echoes oh the echoes hurt Two by two in a dirty, dirty room Where the good and bad of people really loom Guns were drawn as it would seem - There ain’t trust in technology A made up lye- when shit hits the fan No, he’s everybody's friend - he’s their man Long way home and holding hands The earth spinning round into quicksand Three by three dreaming in a magazine Six by six had to pick up the next fix We knew right there that it would work As he smoked a cigarette with a smirk Space trip, a white suit, turned me on In this rocket ship blast off just before the dawn If we can out run than their god We’ll be off the ground and leave the book without further cause Uh uh uh - Impossible speed Uh uh uh - The only ones who can breath Uh uh uh - I just can’t bare Uh uh uh - Fog clears and the truth is well aware It’s all atmospheric fuzz that you see Close the door and let the emotion really bleed Million miles a minute baby - We stole the car Fast on the scene in a minute - Like a shiny star We started way below the ground - In a place that had a very small sound

Started my walk outside and picked you up Remember to lock the door to my heart Grew up learning things, the hard way and it cut me up And I can tell you’re gonna be pretty sharp You you you make me want more of you Remember to lock the door to my heart You you you make me so happy I Guarantee someday you’ll make this hard I don’t want - to have - to walk away No I don’t make it so we can’t understand I don’t wanna take you from my heart Burn it, transform it, take me back start Uh, uh, all all all over again Uh, starting all all all over Finding my love again I don’t want - to have - to walk away No I don’t make it so we can’t understand                              I don’t wanna take you from my heart Burn it, transform it, take me back start 10 Years going on by - Don’t ask why Time time is passing us - No rush to abide And we’re right here, where we’re supposed to be Right here on time - With everything SEE the stars how they shine They’re in parallel with your mind SEE the stars how they shine So bright in your eyes One - Piece of the sky Two - People holding tight Three - Blinded by time Four - I will let it go

about

Modern Sons

Rooted in garage rock the four piece brings a ubiquitously sonic ambience with crunchy guitars and sophisticated bass lines. Organic structures are not based in a particular style of music, but rooted in the expression of experience and the song itself. They effectively and skillfully uses textural changes of dynamic to step into another sub genre of rock they coin as Psychedelic Post-Punk. ... more
