A bit of a different style of us, we experimented with a light tone and more mainstream. Funny fun to write and challenge ourselves in this way.

Separation

I just want you to know we're okay
Event though we fight so hard everyday
And I, I just want you to know that I
I hope that we could see eye to eye
Cause I know

That if we could make it through the night
If we could only make it through the night
You know we gotta make it through the night
I know we can make it through the night
It'll be okay

Girl I know you're working so hard
Trying to make it feel right
You don't have to do that for me
You don't have to do that for me
I just want you to feel free

So don't do what you're thinking to do
Just stick with me, and you'll see
No one said it was easy but it's worth it try

One more chance
One more night
You and I

Come on let's just make it through the night
If we could only make it through the night
You know we gotta make it through the night
I know we can make it through the night
It'll be okay
Okay

Make It Through The Night

You moved on and found a better man,
I'm just hoping that he understands,
Because the pretty smile,
All that it does is hide what's inside

I'm just sitting her by myself,
Could I have figured you out with time?
Would you have just kept me blind?
Your hateful game, drained me dry

And now I don't want you to stay
Don't want you to say you want me to stay
So just go away

Everytime I hear you say I'm nice,
My heart feels like it's in a vice,
Because I know what that means.
You never thought that we could be

And now I don't want you to stay
Don't want you to say you want me to stay
So just go away

Just Go Away

Now you're all alone, do you feel it?
When you're tried and cold, do you feel it?
Now the pressure's gone, do you feel it?
When you hang your coat, do you feel it?

Are you happy now?
Cause I don't miss a thing

Now the pain is gone, do you feel it?
When you head back home, do you feel it?
Now you're finally free, do you feel it?
When you think of me, do you feel it?

Are you happy now?
Cause I don't miss a thing

I don't miss your smile,
I don't miss your touch,
I don't miss your face,
I don't miss your love

Is this what happy feels like?
Is this happiness?
Are you happy now?

Happy

We have been playing music together since we were 16 years old, learned how to play our instruments from each other as well. 'Shackled Fervor' was the titled of our pairing back as teenagers in high school, before we got a bass player and started a different sound as 'Commanding Presence'. In late 2006, 'Commanding Presence' went our separate ways, and recorded our album together in 2007. Since then, we went with different projects, even solo work. In late 2017, 10 years after 'Commanding Presence, Jay recorded some old demos from the Shackled Fervor days from 2003 and 2004, which got the attention of Daniel. This eventually led to a reunion project, recording 'Cain and Abel' first in October 2017, over the course of 3 days. Having so much fun with that, we decided to write more, and have our comeback as Shackled Fervor with the first effort together in over a decade. "The War Machine" is our first EP together, and we are very proud to share it here, as well and look forward to making more music in the coming times. Thank you all for listening!
