A Joy That Kills

Daughter

The Impulse

Four Letter

Become a Ghost

I’m losing control
One by one the walls have come crashing down
And I’m buried underneath it
I tried to warn you but you couldn’t see the pain
You are just as much to blame
For the coming destruction

Run 
Become a ghost
Contrition is lost on the ears of the righteous
Pray with me, give me something to believe 
Don’t tell me lies 
If you ever cared at all for me
It must’ve been hard to see
Maybe you had to save yourself
I’m where the fault lies
I gave you the gun but you pulled the trigger

Run 
Become a ghost
Contrition is lost on the ears of the righteous
Pray with me, give me something to believe 
Don’t tell me lies 
If you ever cared at all
You told me “run away” when I needed you the most (you shut your eyes)
I lost my soul

Reaching out for something to believe, community, community

Taking back the time you stole, 
I’ll be waiting, (reaching out for a lie to believe)
I’ll be praying
Become a ghost
Pray with me, give me something to believe 
Don’t tell me lies 
If you ever cared at all
You told me “run away” when I needed you the most (you shut your eyes)
I lost my soul



Become a Ghost

I can't believe
Just how easy it was for you to get over me
So I'll try and pretend I don't need you

But it hurts just the same
And I'm trying to hide the pain cause I'm so afraid 
Of the things I might say if I see you

Take it slow 
They same time helps you heal but I'm not feeling any better
They don't know 
I guess time will reveal if we were meant to be together

Cause I've been waiting for this for so long
Suddenly the pain in my chest is all gone
It's got me singing oh
I'm gonna make it out alive

And I know we'll never be the same
But I'd take that second chance if it ever came
You got me singing oh
I'm gonna make it out alive

I've been waiting for a love like this 
To erase and cover up all of my mistakes
Losing patience going down the list
Falling over and over and over again

Cause I've been waiting for this for so long
Suddenly the pain in my chest is all gone
It's got me singing oh
I'm gonna make it out alive

And I know we'll never be the same
But I'd take that second chance if it ever came
You got me singing oh
I'm gonna make it out alive

Well I'd cut you off if I though you'd even see
Just say the word and I'll drop it on a dime
I'll make it work
Leave myself wide open 
To feel my heart beat next to yours


Lady Heroin

Our time is running out
Wake up and pay attention
Run for cover
 Take your lover and find a good spot to watch it all burning away
Say goodbye to the revolution

Just let it go 
Don’t turn away
When everything you’re living for is slowly changing
Please don’t turn away
When everything you’re living for is slowly changing

It’s not too late
Love waxes colder now
A king amidst the clouds
A sword comes from his mouth
A voice just like the raging sea

It’s closer now
Closer than it’s ever been before
The universe is waiting at your door
Forcing you to move 
There’s nothing left to lose
Just leave it all behind and let it go

Don’t turn away
When everything you’re living for is slowly changing
Please don’t turn away
When everything you’re living for is slowly changing

Lose it all

Movement doesn’t mean progress 
But in all honesty it is so much fun to see you
Lose it all

It’s closer than it’s been before

Lose it all…Lose it all and watch it burn away

Please don’t turn away
When everything you’re living for is slowly changing


Lovesick


I refuse to let this be a faint memory of a love we used to share
We used to share
The photo in my gallery is fading away
Fading away so fast
Slowly fading in my photo gallery

We’ll look back and say “we were great together, we could’ve gone forever”

Forever…

My heart is desperately calling
Calling out to you won’t you help me see so I’ll remember
The height from which we have fallen
Calling out to you won’t you help me see so I’ll remember

Won’t you help me see so I’ll remember

Somehow I’m gonna reach that place again
I’ve had enough of dying away and changing with the seasons
We’ll look back and say “we were great together, we could’ve gone forever”

Forever…

My heart is desperately calling
Calling out to you won’t you help me see so I’ll remember
The height from which we have fallen
Calling out to you won’t you help me see so I’ll remember

And everything feels vaguely familiar
Now all the things that brought me here fall neatly into place
And it seems that what doesn’t kill you
Makes you stronger but I just can’t seem to make it go away

If I close my eyes 
By your side
I’d never have to shine your light
Cause I’d be dreaming all the time
All the time I’d be dreaming

I’ve had enough of all the games I used to play 
Suffering through all of it for no apparent reason

If I close my eyes 
By your side
I’d never have to shine your light
Cause I’d be dreaming all the time
All the time I’d be dreaming

Falling Short Distances

Far From You (FFY) was formed in the summer of 2002 by original members Michael Madrigal, Michael Pereira, and Ivan Gonzalez. At the time, each member was involved in separate music projects but decided to abandon those endeavors to form FFY. FFY is influenced by the trial and error of life. Though we have many musical influences, our sound is mostly driven by emotion. FFY is an amalgamation of raw aggression and broad melodies. While songs like "Four-Letter" showcase rhythmic technicality, songs like "A Joy That Kills" demonstrate our array of melodious expression. In 2005 FFY disbanded and embarked on individual spiritual paths which have brought us back together in 2011. Joined by our good friend and bassist Orlando Mendez, Far From You’s much anticipated return is solidified.
