TIMELESS Lyrics

Leave me alone, I'm yelling
Can''t you hear me
I don't want you here
Just go
Please stay

I can't keep you
Or you'll drown along with me

I'm trying to save you
Look around at the wreckage
Gather these broken hands to fix me somehow
If there's hope, hope
If I cannot console myself how can anyone else

Cushion the fall
Let it mean something more
Give what I can give
'Til my hands are emptied
Cushion the fall
Here I am willing and naked
Give what I can give
'Til my hands are emptied

Claustrophobic and contained
At a distance I keep the shouting peoples' good intentions away
At the mercy of patience
Rending control
Accepting the things I cannot
And knowing the difference

And when loving myself feels wrong
More than a bit uncomfortable
I can't fight what will make me strong
I need it now

Don't give me the answers
Don't give me a pill
Just show me how to find it for myself

Cushion the fall
Let it mean something more
Give what I can give
'Til my hands are emptied
Cushion the fall
Here I am willing and naked
Give what I can give
'Til my hands are emptied

intR - Timeless

I wrestle with cold-blooded beings
I drag them through the seas
At the heels of my feet
Their lips repeat, pleas, begging for mercy
Voices never high enough to reach my ears
Over mountains of bodies I peer
Looking for some perspective
I couldn't find here

Harder to take
Is what fate may come
By my hands, without choice
No saving grace for either of us
What's done is done
This is who I am

I did not come to punish
But so it would seem my plan
Under the siege of my own tongue
I am

Harder to take
Is what fate may come
By my hands
Without choice

intR - The Abysmal

intR are:
Daniel Featherstone, Ben Kurth and newest member Jeanine Makawwai.
 
Dan and Ben first teamed up in 1997 after a chance meeting while working in desktop publishing. They quickly realized a shared passion for music and musicianship and began to blend their influences ranging from Aphex Twin to Issac Hayes.  As Oversoul, the two challenged a market already saturated with electronic niche artists by focusing on song writing rather than gadgets and knob twiddling.
 
Over the years, their sound has evolved along with the technology, but the true essence and spirit remain: thoughtful composition and live instrumentation meet devastating beats in a fresh trip-hop culmination.
 
Newest band mate and Chicago native Jeanine Makawwai brings life and originality to the duo. After discovering her stunning impromptu YouTube performances, the duo approached Jeanine about a collaboration - intR was born. The defining, compelling sound Dan and Ben have tirelessly pursued is now coming to fruition.
