DELROY LINDO 

you got caught in the misanthropic 
nihilistic way of interacting with
human nature's nomenclature

day to day we avoid the topic
who of us is bold enough to call it quits

you are toxic
pack your boxes quick 
before one of us changes their mind again

i want you but in lieu of conversation 
i'll try to break the silence with a sweet-tooth
teasing your neck
it won't do you're the loneliest of nations
I have ever served 
I swore I swore

skinny chap i'm no delroy lindo 
domineering speeches from the driver's seat
just listen to me when 
i speak clearly in
the tone that makes you forget who i really am

i want you but you gave into someone else 
who sees through your affectionate rage
you have a need to be held without holding back 
to be seen without saving face

i want you but in lieu of conversation 
i'll try to break the silence with a sweet-tooth
teasing your neck
it won't do you're the loneliest of nations
I have ever served 
I swore I swore

i want you but in lieu of conversation 
try to break the silence with a sweet-tooth
teasing your neck
it won't do you're the loneliest of nations
I have ever served 
I swore to protect

Delroy Lindo

|| Written & Produced by Ryan Parmenter ||

Break free from your static state of mind.
Don't look back, you're heading down the road to forgetting
this rag tag, tumbling, no fair paradigm.
Searching for a way of forgiving.

And they wanna tear you down and build you up again.
It makes me wanna laugh off the meaning.
Don't you know that the world's been had?
Don't you hope to leave this life with the best of intentions?

'Cus who doesn't want to move on?
Who doesn't want to move on?
Yeah who doesn't want to move on?

I'm headed down the same road, believe me.
I'm just a rag tag tumbleweed rolling through your mind.
Into one ear, now out the other.

Do you wanna tear me down or build me up this time?
Guess I'd better back up a minute...
Don't you know that the world's been had?
Don't you want to give this night the best of intentions?

'Cus who doesn't want to move?
Who doesn't want to move on?
Yeah who doesn't want to move on?

Back Up a Minute

|| Written & produced by Former Faces ||

Whisper in blue,
unknown to red,
understand in green.
Unknown to you.
Under my feet.
Whisper to the dead.

Hasn’t she grown up so fast?
Size up her love,
it’s bigger than the sun,
brighter than her mass.
Haven’t we been everywhere
but underground?
Getting out of town,
tropical revamps.

Whisper in blue,
unknown to red,
understand in green.
Unknown to you.
Under my feet.
Whisper to the dead.

Hasn’t she grown up so fast?
Haven’t we been everywhere?
Hasn’t she grown out her mask?
Haven’t we been everywhere
but underground?

Whisper in blue,
unknown to red,
understand in green.
Unknown to you.
Under my feet.
Whisper to the dead.

Whisper In Blue

|| Written & Produced by Former Faces ||

Do it
for every man.
Bodies come to an end
for all we know.

Do it
until you can’t.
Bodies come to an ending,
come to an ending
for us.

Don’t count on me,
foreign nature!
Don’t count on me
failing.

Like sheep in the fields we lay,
counting friends in vein. 
We've lost their names
and our way
to wolves in the dreams we saved.
And for whom?
Do it!

Don’t count on me,
foreign nature!
Don’t count on me
failing.

Frozen unbroken moments are free.
Calling, holding, falling silent.

Gaze right
at the frosted light.
I don't know where I'm at.
It’s no ordinary sight.

I don’t know what it’s like
to live an ordinary life.
Yeah the feeling isn’t right,
hell no ordinary life!

Yeah, no ordinary life.
I’m no ordinary man.
No ordinary life.
I’m no ordinary man.
Do it!

There’s always a way out…

Foreign Nature

|| Written & produced by Former Faces ||

My hometown is a ghost 
I never visit anymore.
But I won't ask for patience
cuz she’s not mine.

It’s the light at the end of the road.
It’s the light in the back of my home .
It’s the light at the end of the road.
Is your light on?

I’m wide awake are you with me?
Are you with me now?
Come on in for awhile,
my darling let your heartache go.
It’s been long enough.

My hometown
is a voice that sways now.
The whole hour is awake,
for every noticed soul wears
wears nothing.

She’s the light at the end of the road.
She’s the light in the back of my home.
She’s the light at the end of the road.
Is her light on?

I’m wide awake are you with me?
Are you with me now?
Come on in for awhile,
my darling let your heartache go.
It’s been long enough.

So in the end,
trace your hands
in my head…

I’m wide awake are you with me now?

Forc# Fi#lds

I feel a vibration
Rattling my knees.
Amplified magnification
Of the ground beneath my feet.

I doubled down
I tasted
My imagination
Open the gates.

Tongue-tied
Sophisticated.
Ambling weightless.
Open up the gates.

I feel a vibration
Rattling my knees.
Amplified magnification
Of the ground beneath my feet.

I dug myself too deep
But honestly
I’m wearing a happier horror.
Armored to flee
But underneath
I’m wearing a happier horror.

I doubled down.
I chased
Insatiable salvation.
Open the gates

Too worn
And overtaken.
I’m red in the face, man.
Open up the gates!

I feel a vibration
Rattling my knees.
Magnified amplification
Of the ground beneath my feet.

I dug myself too deep
But honestly
I’m wearing a happier horror.
Armored to flee
But underneath
I’m wearing a happier horror.

Open The Gates

4 Leaf Clover

Colorful Anger

The 4th single off of Former Faces' forthcoming EP 'Open the Gates'

Another Reminder

‘Evergreen’ is the culmination of a creation forged by time, dedication and perseverance. As the Open The Gates EP concludes, the beast and his cohorts find true content in their genesis, despite an uncertain future. 

‘Evergreen’ closes a memorable chapter of achievement and invention manifested by an unlikely pack of dreamers. It urges them to continue fantasizing, collectively and individually.  

As no story ever ends, we must embrace our former faces and begin again.
