End Unto Itself

I’m tired, of all these desperate measures.
All for the wrong cause.
Inspired, to make it all seem better. 
Before too much time is lost. 
Need to find a way, keep it on a level plane.
Don’t know what to say, spit out what comes onto the brain.


It’s been oh, so long, since we all just spoke.
I remember back when I was only listening.
A little body caught, in a mind that got lost,
and a mouth of words that felt like they were everything.


I sing loud cause I can only make a sound that reminds me of the time I wasn’t listening.
Well I can't sing well, but I can always make a sound that reminds me of…


Being tired, and taking desperate measures.
All for the wrong cause.
Inspired, to make it all feel better.
Before all my time is gone.
Despite it, all and all, try to find a better way.
When all you do is wait, nothing seems to come your way.


Been staring into snow, driving, I can see the road, 
but I don’t think that I remember ever getting here.
Everybody sings of signs, or the tunnels, or the pike,
but I don’t think that I remember even getting there.


Sing loud cause I can only make a sound that reminds me of the time I wasn’t listening.
Well I can't sing well, but I can always make a sound that reminds me of…


I LOATHE, TO IMPOSE
PUT ME ON A LEASH, WANT TO LEAD YOU
NO MORE, DISTRACTIONS
I CAN’T BELIEVE IN ANY WAY
EVEN THOUGH, I SMILE
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I CAN GO NOW
EVEN THOUGH, SO COLD
GONNA FIND A WAY


I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO NOW, TO BE HOW I AM
DON’T WANT TO LEAVE IT ALONE, IT LEAVES ME NOTHING
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET THERE, TO BE WHO I FEEL
DON’T WANT TO WAIT, IT’S NOT FAIR, NO, WAIT, IT’S NOT REAL

Desperate Measures

SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE
SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE


WHY LONG FOR A CARDBOARD BED IN A COFFIN
SILENTLY SCREAMING
LIKE IT'S JUST A GREAT BIG HASSLE
I FOLD BEFORE, EVEN A FEELING
A DEMON WARP FEELING
BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A GREAT BIG HASSLE


SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE
SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE

IT'S NOT AS LOUD AS IT USED TO BE
IT'S NOT AS YOUNG AS IT USED TO BE
ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE
AND YOU SEE ME SEE YOU FALLING IN LINE


IT'S NOT AS LOUD AS IT USED TO BE
IT'S NOT AS YOUNG AS IT USED TO BE
ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE
AND I SEE YOU SEE ME FALLING IN LINE

SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE


STAND TALL, RUNNING AROUND WITH A FEELING
NO ONE IS FEELING
SEARCHING FOR THAT THING THAT MAKES IT
ALL IN, LIES LOW, OR HANGS FROM THE CEILING
OH WHAT A FEELING


IT'S NOT AS LOUD AS IT USED TO BE
IT'S NOT AS YOUNG AS IT USED TO BE
ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE
AND YOU SEE ME SEE YOU FALLING IN LINE


IT'S NOT AS LOUD AS IT USED TO BE
IT'S NOT AS YOUNG AS IT USED TO BE
ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE
I SEE YOU SEE ME FALLING IN LINE


SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE


SO SAFE, SOUL STEALING
ALL IN, FOR A FEELING
SO WRITHE, STANDING IN LINE

Good as It Used to Be

Fall
Fly & Fail
Flail & Fall


This is the moment after the stall


Wade 
this bright is so much brighter
to fall from so much higher
that sinking seems of somber  


Where I go I hope you find a way
Through all the turns I hoped I wouldn’t say
Where I go I hope you find a way
Through all the turns I knew I couldn’t take


and the wading’s so much kinder
and the wading’s so much lighter
wading at this pace in a way
wandering at pace anyway
stalling at this space everyday  
Every Day


Where I go I hope you find a way
Through all the turns I hoped I wouldn’t say
Where I go I hope you find a way
Through all the turns I knew I couldn’t make
Where I go I hope you find a way
Where I go I hope you find your way

wading room

Well focused, for reigning
well thought out, no mistaking
life forms that map your modern way.
I’m thinking I should go with faith.


With another soul, 
this cell is free from breaking.
Follow Me Now
So Mistaken
Search for someone to say it.
Am I that lone?


New focus, on fading
now thought out, no changing
life falls, forgot the modern way.
And I'm thinking I should go with faith.


With another soul, 
this cell is free from breaking.
Fallen, Follow Me Now
So Mistaken
Search for someone to say it.
Am I that lone?
Am I that lone?

Twist & Writhe was started by guitarists Ben Vardjan and Alex Slagle with a desire to create a band that encapsulated all of the member’s musical influences with no boundaries. With the addition of bassist Jay Stillman and drummer Leighton McCleaf, the instrumental chemistry was complete, and when vocalist Arthur Nusser joined the group the vision was fully achieved. The group has been making passionate melodic hooks that stretch across genres ever since.
