Ash to Ash Dust to Dust We laid you to bed at a quarter to dusk I swear to god I won’t this time I swear that this is just a warning cry So let this message go unread ‘Cause on the inside I’m already dead So search the cupboards for a paper With your last known return address But no ones sending you any birthday money this year Because they already know where that money will be spent Go on and ruin your life again So tell me was I a good man to you? I thought I’d do all I can do But that’s a lie I slacked off every time I tied the noose that hung me dry Now I’m waiting for someone to kick the chair Wish I could do it myself Wish I did, wish I cared So leave Go on and kick the chair We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time Just a means to an end We don’t, we don't give up so easy Here in Nowhere where nothing begins We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time Just a means to an end We don’t, we don't give up so easy Here in Nowhere where nothing begins
3.	Devils 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Tell me what I’m running from, where I’m going? Where should I lay my head at night? What can I do to dull these voices? Scraping on my insides? And nothing ever changes We all just stay the same We preach what we believe in Then don’t do a goddamn thing Don’t mislead me with a sermon Because your words are meaningless Between the lines that you are quoting Was a message misinterpreted And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door We all want to be a savior But this world will nail you down So why don’t you pull out all your splinters? And find yourself a better crown What becomes of all our ash When there’s no more soul to hold? Can you shake out all your fears? All the troubles and the unknowns And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door All the words we wasted on you Prophets nothing more than words Tell your god I’m not appealing Forevermore knocking on your door And you can’t see the storm below the sea And you can’t shake that man from his belief And you think you know everything Forever more, forever more, forever more Never knocking on god’s door
4.	My Nowhere 03:26	lyrics	buy track
I see the wind it’s shaking all the trees They twist and turn and beg me please don’t leave In three more months see what’s become of us We’ll turn to dirt and then the earth will rust But if I’m decaying, that’s the way it’s supposed to be I still believe that there’s a chance for us (I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut) I still believe that there’s a chance for us (So what you running from, why are you running from) Everyone is rooting for you So bury your selfish pride And see all your demons for what they are All the failures that keep you up at night I still believe that there’s a chance for us (I’m like a wound that you could never suture shut) I still believe that there’s a chance for us (So what you running from, why are you running from) Everyone is rooting for you so when will you lead your life? The dust in the sky is getting thicker again Soon it will smother us all So pack your things and let’s head for the coast And let the waves clear the dirt off our broken bones And now I’m older and bolder None the wiser as well I’m always seeking out failure My perpetual hell So I buried the sin ‘Cause I can’t let it win And I stay in my Nowhere Where nothing begins again! When they come in the night You won’t put up a fight You run so god won’t catch us When the dirt fills the air You’ll feel so ill prepared, but swallowed Well God won’t catch us As we grow As we loathe The little pieces of this lonely heartless soul I'm a lonely heartless soul
5.	The Night That St. Catherine Fell 04:31	lyrics	buy track
We don't smile here We ain't happy We don't have no fears Cause they already happened I'm an afterthought What you gained you lost Cloaked in dogma, manipulate the view Soil fled the earth Chose to block out the sun Fleeting reminders of what Nowhere's become Won't let them grow No I won't let them grow Like the seeds that you sewed In my fragile and hollow bones You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair You did it You did it You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair Just shatters everywhere I'm a bitter soul Wasn't always though Like the fields that you tilled Now they're loathed When I lost my bride A piece of myself died Now I don't search 'Cause I don't want to find Watch as your friends stop to live in the past See all the families and love that you lack Won't let them grow No I won't let them grow Like the doubt that you sewed In my fragile and hallowed bones You broke me, I'm shattered The stain glass on a window That you cannot repair You did it You did it You broke me, I'm shattered Tear me up, fix me up Nobody cares Tattered from the weather Defeated at last Hearing the crinkle, the crumble of glass Watch as the steeple takes its last breath Watch as the fire covers her with day Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? Why do I keep running from the fire? So why do I keep running from the fire?

Young boy, you’ve grown with age You’ve filled with rage You learned to hate all of those things you used to crave You’re so angry, and a bit confused You said you’d take back from the world that which that god has taken from you You burned down the bells You sealed off the well So tell all the angels they better not show I’m not coming home Together forever, forever alone Tell all the angels I’m never coming home So you’ve gone to meet your maker So you’ve gone to meet your maker All alone he plainly waits He was smoking a 27 He said “it’s getting kinda late” All I tried to do was help you And all you did was push away So who am I to judge you? You made your bed and now you’ll lay Now your veins they are so vacant Just like the creek that you bled dry You tried You tried You tried So tell all the angels, they better not show I’m not coming home Together forever, forever alone Tell all the angels I’m never coming home I’m never coming home
7.	Requiem 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Well it caught up You know how many times I look myself in the mirror And say you’re still alive But this cold water never seems to wake me up I’m like a cockroach sneaking under your door Ruining the beautiful decor This illusion to happiness To which you can not obtain So you sit and you pass the blame I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s a resting stone We hide our scars Like they aren’t ours And we vaguely let people see And it’s stupid and pathetic how lovely you were But these memories are covering me I like to think that I don’t reminisce But I’d be lying to myself if I said I never did I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s a resting stone Sink, all alone, resting stones in the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake All alone resting stones In the bottom of a lake But I’m swimming to the surface now that The waves have parted and the seas have calmed down I know I’ve made mistakes we all have made But this time it’s human I’ve got something at stake I realize now there’s no such thing as fate We all just want to find the ones that we lost along the way So we sit throwing stones in the bottom of a lake All alone, resting stones In the bottom of a – I just want sleep But your lullaby is haunting me Once brought me peace Now it lingers and it's scaring me I can see where I wanna go Your lullaby’s my resting stone
8.	Abide 04:22	lyrics	buy track
It’s alright, I’m all around Watching you tear up every inch of earth Searching for what cannot be found I know it hurts like a wound unmend But there are things that happen in our life That we can’t control so we just let them happen You’re like a house Gone up in flames And I’m on the outside watching helplessly as you slowly turn to grey I tried to help, but the heat was too much When the flames grew higher, through the embers Through the smoke and the clouds I could see our dying love (Scream) Don’t you know that I love you (Dream) When you died you took my heart along with you (Sleep) Dig a coffin, the one that you cling to Why do I stay here? When all that is loved will always be ruined I’m just a duct tape ship With no nails in my hull But I’m stopping at nothing to get you where you need to go With no wind in my sails and a thorn in my spine I swear I’ll get you there, I swear we’re doing fine And when the storm settles down and all the clouds turn to grey We’ll chart a better course we’ll find a better way Even if there’s weather will survive the storm Here in Nothing, Nowhere it’s become our norm (Scream) Don’t you know that I love you (Dream) When you died you took my heart along with you (Sleep) Dig a coffin, the one that you cling to Why do I stay here? When all that is loved will always be ruined So why should I stay here? Let those waves crash over me Remember that night, on a foreign shore Looking at a stranger Staring off at a distant shore Thought it was you
9.	No Deeper Than A Coffin 04:05	lyrics	buy track
I swear, I promise you Gonna to bring you down, gonna to bring you down To see the hell I’m living in To see the darkness creeping in Inside of me Inside of me I don’t see no halo I don’t fear your heavenly touch I swear, I promise you Gonna linger around this room a little longer Gonna linger around this room a little longer with you To haunt the halls and mark the walls With every thought I could never resolve. I don’t see no halo I don’t fear your heavenly touch I don’t want my maker Just a devil and a field of dust In that moment of despair I saw you sitting in the chair Near the mirror where I used to shave myself You said I know you miss me dear I hear your cries so loud and clear But these razor blades aren’t the way back to me Please don’t hurt yourself It just won’t help You’re only looking for meaning in meaningless things You know that you don’t have to float all around It’s alright, clip your wings, settle down. It’s the eyes in your head that need the fixing instead They’re only seeking out harm instead of looking for something Pure and gold, you can turnover Any page, any book, any time You have no home.... You have no home.... You have no home.... You have no home....
10.	Angels (Act 2) 03:35	lyrics	buy track
They sewed up your lips And told you to pray They took away your house When you had no place left to stay Tangible hearts Often carved out alone Lead you to a place where you end up in nowhere ungrown I am chasing a future in hopes that I might resurrect Myself back into life I’ve never felt less alive I’m watching the time as it comes to collect, a desirable life I'll neglect There’s got to be more than this A meaningful bliss That asks can I let these pastures grow? And finally let those angels know So tell all the angels They better not show I’m not meeting my maker No tonight I won’t grow I need silence, I need silence I need some rest To stop these awful troubled voices Inside of my head And they rage and they rage Like where the wild things are They’re causing a ruckus they don’t care who you are When you beg and you plead for them to quiet down They get louder and louder I can hear them right now And the words that I screamed must have went unheard Now the walls watch me sleep as I weep on the floor
11.	Past & Present 04:09	lyrics	buy track
If we met up one day in heaven could you forgive me Wouldn’t blame you if you couldn’t cause I can’t either anymore I still remember that cold winter morning I still remember your stomach turning Empty bars And the sound of cars Are the only things that sing me to sleep Haunted now by the way things turned out Watch the years take their toll on me Gonna live for you now Cause why should I waste two lives Guess I owe it to you I gotta get up and go Gotta grow up and stride yeah It don’t feel right to you to be happy I owe it to myself I know I must be happy Empty bars And the sound of cars Are the only things that sing me to sleep Haunted now by the way things turned out Watch the years take their toll on me And if I leave this all behind This nowhere that’s sucking like a leech on the back of my spine Can I stand up straight, can I shed the weight And be the man who I ought to be? We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time Wasting our lives We all, we all come from nothing and nowhere Wasting our time, just a means to an end We don’t, we don’t give up so easy Here in Nowhere, where nothing will end So what if St. Catherine’s fell? I can still hear the sound of the bell And that grass on her grave is here to stay Here in Nowhere, where nothing will end

about

The year is 1930. A candle is lit in church to illuminate the choir’s sheet music. The candle gets knocked over, the church burns to the ground with a woman inside, and along with it a town withers as massive sky-blackening storms threaten to swallow the earth whole. The inhabitants barely hang onto hope, wondering if the God they’ve been praying to has turned its back on them and left them behind... Welcome to A Town Named Nowhere.

This album hits like a ton of bricks. I can't say how long it's been since a band reached me like this, but I can't get enough. The driving rhythm, the ghostly floating leads, the haunting and direct lyrics, the desperation in her voice... Powerful. Jaycee
