lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

Come Baby

My first time working with this fun crew as a whole collective! Though I have collaborated with both TM Shaman, Llanpsych, and Josh Clary in the past, this was my first time working with Mysterious Decibel and K2, have been wanting to partner with each of them for a while. And very happy with these results, hope you'll enjoy listening!

Cast of characters:

Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Josh added his five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part. Then JJ poured his magic into it, too. Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 

After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the fire or the fire flames out

Life is Shit

It is just a cold band of gold,
Now only worn to keep away the bold. (maybe the foolish)
They don’t see the ghost on my hand,
Or the shadow behind what I am.

I am a man that still wears his ring!
If anything it is comforting. (comforting).

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth leaned upon. (Leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have lost my thoughts)

It once burned bright in a lover’s fire,
Now dull with time, deceit, and desire. (yes desire)
The truth cut deep, but the scar won’t sting,
But I am at peace with this golden thing. (This ring)

The ring don’t burn, it chills my bone,
A crown for the cursed, a claim I own. (It's my own)
Not for the love that rotted through,
But for the peace it gives — without you. (remember that)

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth I can lean upon. (leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have lost my thoughts)

I’ve slept with the truth, she cuts like glass,
Every night she whispers, “This too shall pass.”
And now it has  but it just sits and sings,
A sad tune from my finger’s ring.

I don't care I'll wear it anyway, (anyway)
Heedless of who it scares away.
If they really were intrigued. (intrigued?)
They would ask and not retreat.

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A whisper of warmth I can lean upon. (leaned upon)
Not for the vows, or the lies they brought
But the quiet it gives my thoughts. (I have gathered my thoughts)

They ask why I never let it go,
But how could they ever know? (really ever know)
It holds me like a familiar ache,
A comfort no heart would break. (It wont ever break)

The ring still fits, though the love is gone,
A circle of silence I depend upon. (depend upon)
Not for the past, or the pain it sings,
But for the calm it brings, (It calms everything)

My old, cold ring.

Yes

My old, cold ring.

Unless you are a new love,
who I am willing remove it for, (done once before)
you had better just,
remove it from my cold dead finger.

My old ring.
My old cold ring.

The Ring

Truthsayer

[Verse 1]
The weight keeps rising — I can’t keep pace,
Smile for the world while I lose my face.
They pull me apart, there’s nothing left,
I’m breaking inside, I can’t catch my breath.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I feel the fault lines in my head,
I can’t hold on, I’m filled with dread.
The pressure’s building — something breaks,
How much more of this can I take?

[Chorus 1]
Fault lines cracking through my mind,
(through my mind)
Pieces fall — I’m losing time.
The person I was is buried deep,
Breaking inside — I can’t find peace.
(can't find peace, no peace).
Fault lines running through my brain,
I don’t know who’s calling my name.
(calling my name...)

[Verse 2]
Too many masks — forgot my face,
I’m fading fast, I’ve lost my place.
The mirror shows someone I don’t know,
I’m coming apart — can’t let it show.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I feel the cracks beneath my skin,
Each day I change — I fade within.
The walls are closing, I can’t pretend,
I’m losing myself — can’t find the end.

[Chorus 2]
Fault lines tearing through my head,
(tearing through my head, oh no),
The pain feels real, but I’m long dead.
The person I was is buried deep,
I’m breaking apart — I can’t keep.
(can't keep it together, no).
Fault lines running through my soul,
I’m shattering — I’ve lost control.
shattering... shattering...

[Bridge]
“Hold it together.”
“You’re already gone.”
“Push through the pain.”
“You were never that strong.”
“Just breathe — stay calm.”
“You’ve already lost.”

Which voice is mine? Which face do I wear?
I’m drowning in versions of me everywhere!

[Breakdown]
I’M FRACTURING!
CAN’T HOLD THE LINE!
BREAKING APART!
LOSING MY MIND!

Every fault line splits me more,
Don’t know which self I’m fighting for.
This weight, this stress — it never ends,
I’m breaking… breaking… BREAKING!

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I see the fault lines through my brain,
A thousand cracks — I’ll never change.
The quake is here — nowhere to hide,
I’m watching myself collapse inside.

[Final Chorus]
Fault lines shattered through my head,
(shattered through my head, shattered),
I’m someone else — the old me’s dead.
The person I was is gone, erased,
I fractured within — can’t be replaced.
(can't be replaced)
Fault lines cutting through it all,
I’ve split in two — and watched me fall.
Don’t know which one was real at all.
(real at all...)

[Outro]
“Who am I?”
“I don’t remember…”
“Too many pieces…”
“Can’t put it back…”
“The fault lines… everywhere…”
“I’m breaking… still breaking…”
