Blossom Season (2024 Version)

I Will Always Love You

Feel free to check out the non-mastered version on Youtube if you like a lo-fi bass sound.

Lyrics :

How could I have guessed
That things would go this way ?
I only saw the best 
The one thing on display

You must have kept the rest
Safely hidden away
I thought you were my nest
When you were just my open grave

(chorus)

So Go ahead and tell me how to feel
Tell me that your evil isn't real
Tell me you're my only way to heal
Though you're the one thing in my way

Turn it all around and make yourself the victim
Tell me I'm the one who's yet to be forgiven
Turn my life into a fucking prison
So I can never run away

(verse)

Overtime
I saw you slowly change
But I still believe
That the good in you remains
(bridge)
So I won't leave                                  
Until you're you again                                                                                     
These wounds won't heal                     
But  you are worth the pain
(+scream :) The vow of silence is over
The fear of violence is over
Your reign of terror is over
(chorus)
So Go ahead and tell me how to feel
Tell me that your evil isn't real
Tell me you're my only way to heal
Though you're the one thing in my way

Turn it all around and make yourself the victim
Tell me I'm the one who's yet to be forgiven
Turn my mind into a fucking prison
So I can never run away

The vow of silence is over
The fear of violence is over 
Your reign of terror is over
Because I'm done being afraid
(x3)

Loyal (Bonus Track)

O SON LOS TOROS EN LA NIEBLA

Oscuro atardecer, 
los toros en la niebla,
polvo de tierra, faz,
fieras del agua seca.

Lamento de arena,
camas de piedra, selva,
la noche vive azul,
revés del alma abierta.

Brebaje de alacrán,
traspasa la vereda,
paraje circular,
viento de sal y hierba.

SILENCIOS

O son los toros en la niebla

Remastered version, specificaly one that sounds a bit better on external speakers than the original.

Lyrics : 
Baby, believe what I say
Hang to my every word, and you'll let go of yesterday
Baby, who's that at the door ? 
If there's someone around, either one less or one more

Oh baby, why would you wanna get out ? 
You'll only drive yourself crazy 
If you leave any room for doubt

Baby I'm a good guy
Do you really think I would lie ? 
Now I need you to say hello 
Cause I'm not letting you say good bye

Give me your hand 
Give me your heart
Now please understand 
That I can tear you apart
(Chorus)
Do you feel the magic ? 
Do you feel the love ? 
I just feel so ecstatic
When I'm the one above

But

Isn't this fantastic ? 
Am I not enough ? 
I know it may seem drastic 
When push comes to shove

I've
Been 
Making my way under your skin
And I'm
Not gonna quit
Until I see you fit
For me
(x2)

I may be unforgiven 
Because you're so unforgiving
Look how far I have driven
Look at all you get for giving

Everything I do 
Everything I say
Revolves around you 
And that's why things go my way

Don't tell me that it's over
Til your mind's clear and you're sober
Be careful what you say 
Cause if you leave, then you're a loner

Don't question the person
Simply worship the persona
Now let me be your bully 
Your protector and your owner for me (x3)

(Chorus)

Shove (A.V)

Lyrics

We used to be happy as sheep and shephards
But then came the big, bad wolf
Painting walls red, bringing Hell unto Heaven
All in the name of power

Why did we ever give in ? 
Why couldn't we just be left alone ? 
There's something under my skin
Making it's way to my bones

Things always happen for a reason
They just don't always happen for a good one 
This sick world of casual treason 
Led us to the trones of bones we sit on

The ladder is right there
Each rung may try to talk to you
Don't listen to what they say
They stay there because they deserve to
(Chorus)
Is it ever truly enough ?
Is this shit really worth what it's worth ?
How many people have to give their lives
For yours not to be too rough ?

Don't you regret any of your choices ? 
How long can you ignore the voices ? 
One day you'll be eaten alive
While the rest  of us rejoices
(Verse)
Why would you wanna stay down here 
When you know what there is up there ? 
I promise you won't shed a tear
When you see what we don't share

Take a look at me
The things that I possess
The psychos on the street
I'm the one that they protect

Still you don't give in
Is there something wrong with you ?
Oh, please just let the phone ring
You know there's noone that I answer to

I know you want this
I'll make you want this
Join us, join us, join us...

(Chorus)

Wolves

Recently relistened to the original version, and realised there was waaay too much bass, so here's a lighter version.
Lyrics :

Call it bad luck
Or call me a sad fuck
In a world of blood and guts
In this place forever stuck

Their bodies go by one by one
I'm just glad that they're all gone
But shit, one is still alive
Gotta slit its throat with a knife

And watch the blood as it pours
Like a flood onto the floor
Such a horror, yet such a bore
And I'm staring at the exit door (x3)

Cos I'm so sick of this

(Chorus)
Blood, shit and feathers
Doesn't get much better
Be here at six AM
And then stay for fucking ever

Blood, shit and feathers
That's my weekly weather
All over the floor, walls, ceiling
Cleaning takes forever

(Verse)
Time for a break
A coffee and a joint to take
Away the deathly taste
But there's still pieces on my face

I act like I'm okay with it
But inside I feel sick
I feel it crawl under my skin
Bottle's out when I can't bottle it in

I wanna get out of this place
Go home and wash my soul and face
Get the smell out of my nose
Forget the image of the blood as it flows (x3)

(Chorus)

Feathers (A.V)

this track is about resenting the fact that I wasted so much time in my life and now missing the loved ones not here anymore 

STH - Wasted Time

A great big thanks to Lex and Dave (aka Barricage) for their participation in this album closer, the song wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is without them. I definitely recommend checking out their stuff, especially if you happen to like punky/grungy thrash metal and dark, horror-y, insightful poetry: https://soundcloud.com/davemillz
I should mention that the vocals in the third verse were written and performed by Dave, and that Lex mixed the brief yet distinct intro, as well as composed and performed the guitar solo at the end. Again, thank you guys a bunch !

Lyrics:

What is wrong with you today ?
Is there any game that you play ?
Is there any horror you won't say ?
Is there anything beneath you at all ?

I can't change for the life of me
As I bathe in moral blasphemy
There's something I used to want to be
But my memory was hurt in the fall
(bridge:)
Pictures of another me
Some alternate reality
This thing noone will ever see
The being that never got to be
(chorus:)
Something I don't wanna know
Something you don't need to show
Something hidden down below
And I think I just took a peek
(x2)
(back to verse:)
I can only do what's been done to me
I can only repeat the cycle
Good people fill me with misery
And what's left is now my idol

It's sad to say, it's sad to see
Consumed by hatred noone needs
Another day, another deed
I let the rage grow as it feeds

Bridge
Chrorus

I fell down
Pushed down to the ground
Maybe some day I will find it...

The piece of me, lost
Through the years I bore my cross
Forgot who I wanted to be

Although its hard to see,
Maybe in the end it's what's supposed to be
I reminisce in silence...

At what cost?
Maybe will never figure out
My loss...
Another me, inside me

Bridge

Outrunning The Night

Longtime followers of Mark Henes know that he has a habit of shifting eﬀortlessly from punk to country and back. On his foreboding new single, he fully embraces the former, with thrashing electric guitars backing up his signature booming baritone to create an energetic anthem for the end of times.

“Nostradamus is upon us, and what do you think will come?” Henes sings in the songs opening lines. It’s pretty clear that the future looks bleak from his perspective, but rather than wallow in pity, Mark uses his lyrical gifts to find reason for celebration in the face of hopelessness. The intricate guitar play and thundering drums provide listeners with a much needed sense of catharsis for the chaotic times we’re living in.

As he prepares the release of his debut full length album ‘Crystallized Reflections,’ it is clear that Mark is not content to be pigeon holed into just one sound. If this single is any indication, he is ready for a long and unpredictable career.

‘Nostradamus Is Upon Us’ is available everywhere Aug. 7, 2020

Crystallized Reflections

Nostradamus Is Upon Us
