Sweet Comfortable Nothings is about rejecting the little things I do to distract myself from feeling unfulfilled. Netflix, Instagram, Work, Etc. This song is a plea to myself and others to devote time and energy to the things we're passionate about.

Contour - Sweet Comfortable Nothings May 21

Lyrics

A blind man could see the way you enter a room
The captive cadence of your steps consume
Like violent tracks in the dirt are crowning
You fill the room like liquid and now I'm drowning
Now I'm drowning

Cause' you're calling me, calling me
Capturing me
And your words, like waves, crash over me
And permeate through my skin
Could I let you in
I'm the lighthouse and you are the sea
Cause' I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm fracturing
I'm in the same place I've always been
But I've been holding out
For you to come around
I'm the lighthouse, but please come in
Please come in

In a crowded room I could sense your temperature
And hear each frequency in how your breath returns
Each exhale's like an alarm sounding
You know how to stop time so I'll start counting
I'll start counting

Cause' you're calling me, calling me
Capturing me
And your words, like waves, crash over me
And permeate through my skin
Could I let you in
I"m the lighthouse and you are the sea
Because' I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm fracturing
I'm in the same place I've always been
And I've been holding out
For you to come around
I'm the lighthouse, but please come in
Please come in
I'm the lighthouse, but please come in
Please come in
I'm the lighthouse, but please come in
Please come in

Contour - The Lighthouse And The Sea

Lyrics

Are you convinced you know yourself
Rewriting the history you can sell
Carefully assembling meaning
From the items on your shelf

Do know you all that you've stole
Persona plagiarized in whole
Have you convinced yourself
Of the backstory you wrote

But would it make a difference
Where you go
Could they ever tell
Who are you
You'd never care to admit
How much of you is someone else
Don't become a caricature of yourself

What if you had any excuse
A life of neglect and abuse
Would you exploit another's story
With an ending you could choose

But would it make a difference
Where you go
Could they ever tell
Who are you
You'd never care to admit
How much of you is someone else
Don't become a caricature of yourself

I am, I am
I can be anything you ever wanted
Instead of me
I'll be the only and the ever presenting need
The seed of every little failure
I've ever been
I am, I am
I can be anything you ever wanted
Instead of me
I'll be the only and the ever presenting need
The seed of every little failure
I've ever been

But would it make a difference
Where you go
Could they ever tell
Who are you
You'd never care to admit
How much of you is someone else
Don't become a caricature of yourself

I Can See How This Ends

Lyrics 

No we don't all get a fair shake
So shut your mouth
Because you don't know them
Never been that far south
So count your blessings
Don't let em' drag you down
Because not everyone grew up in your
Two door garage house
Because the way
You were raised
Left a lot to be desired
And you may
Think it's strange
You been left so uninspired

Because these kids who learned life
Through the cracks in the walls
The ones that you stand on
To feel so tall
They're searching for meaning
You're searching for pay
They're living their lives
While your wasting your days

No we don't all get a fair shake
So shut your mouth
Because I don't think you understand
What you denounce
From the start these kids learned
A different way of playing house
No you've never been accustomed
To such violent sounds

Because the way
You were raised
Left a lot to be desired
And you may
Think it's strange
You been left so uninspired

Because these kids who learned life
Through the cracks in the walls
The ones that you stand on
To feel so tall
They're searching for meaning
You're searching for pay
They're living their lives
While your wasting your days

Enough
There you go making an ass of yourself again
Keep your feet on the ground and they'll stay outta' your mouth
There you go making an ass of yourself again
Maybe next time, keep your mind open and your mouth shut

Because these kids who learned life
Through the cracks in the walls
The ones that you stand on
To feel so tall
They're searching for meaning
You're searching for pay
They're living their lives
While your wasting your days
You're floating along with nothing at stake
If it's sink or swim I'll ride the wake
I never want to die your comfortable death
I'll be kicking and screaming until my last breath

Contour - Shut Your Mouth

Lyrics

If you needed the water
You could strain my blood
You could hold the knife
You could choose the cut
I won't resist
So go in for the kill
I won't even flinch
Or cause you guilt
So take what you need
What's yours is mine
The keg is tapped
And the wells run dry
I'm glad to help
That wasn't so hard
I know you know
That I've done my part
There's nothing here
There's nothing left

But I never meant for this
Scream in silence
Stuck between grief and intent
Words in wasted breath
And I can see how this ends
Is there nothing left
This suffocating guilt
Like the death of a friend

Everything we've built
Taken down in hours
The boxes packed
And stacked in towers
The forced smiles
The suppressed fears
I scratch my head
And you hide your tears
My favourite leech
My parasite
I'll keep still
Won't put up a fight
I can barely stand
But I'll keep you warm
When my time comes
I hope you mourn
There's nothing left

But I never meant for this
Scream in silence
Stuck between grief and intent
Words in wasted breath
And I can see how this ends
Is there nothing left
This suffocating guilt
Like the death of a friend

This stapled smile's come undone
This Frayed grins gone numb
Have I asked too much
What a shame you fucked up

A language lost in sentiment
Buried deep like a dead friend

But I never meant for this
Scream in silence
Stuck between grief and intent
Words in wasted breath
And I can see how this ends
Is there nothing left
This suffocating guilt
Like the death of a friend

Contour - Death Of A Friend

Lyrics

Can't help but feeling
Everything's all the same
And everyone's following suit
In spite of what it's given me
Still doubt my subjectivity
Cause' everyone's using you
Now nationalists and pacifists
Are progressively turning fascist
Is there anything we can do
This dried up stream of consciousness
Is becoming unresponsive
Is this offer becoming
Too good to refuse

I can't let it sway me
I can't let it in
I can't let you tell me
Who I am

Who I am
All I want is power
All I want is love
Can i stand a chance
And a relentless reverence
Past a dying sun
Is this all part of your plan
I can't unlearn it all
Cause' we were born to lose
Waiting for my relapse
All that I want is everything
that you wanted me to
I'm not yours and I'll never be

So can you show me
What the hell is truth
If so I'll show you a liar
A forced indoctrination
To steal our youth
And tell us what to admire
Cause' now everything's concerning me
Spoon feed me insecurity
And tell me how it's desire
Now all I care for is taught
Through constant Ad-supported thought
Was your intention to make us so sick and tired
I can't let it sway me
I can't let it in
I can't let you tell me

Who I am
All I want is power
All I want is love
Can i stand a chance
And a relentless reverence
Past a dying sun
Is this all part of your plan
I can't unlearn it all
Cause' we were born to lose
Waiting for my relapse
All that I want is everything
that you wanted me to
I'm not yours and I'll never be

Cause' I'm not yours to automate
Careful words to captivate
I won't follow a single word
That you say
I can't let it sway me
I can't let it in
I can't let you tell me

Who I am
All we want is power
All we want is love
Can i stand a chance
And a relentless reverence
Past a dying sun
Is this all part of your plan
I can't unlearn it all
Cause' we were born to lose
Waiting for my relapse
All that I want is everything
that you wanted me to
We're not yours and we'll never be

Contour - I'm Not Yours

Lyrics

I hope you know
That one day you'll stand
For all your crimes
I hope you know
There's no door in this world
You could hide behind
I hope you know
That a day will come
Without a night
So I hope you choke
On that guilt you bury
Deep down inside
I can't even stand
To see all you abandon
And I can't even stand
The fact that you're still standing

I hope you know
Your fame will fade
In its due time
But I hope you know
How long your name
Will stay on my mind
I hope you know
Just how far that you
Have crossed the line
And I hope you know
A day will come
When we will rise

I can't even stand
To see all you abandon
And I can't even stand
The fact your still standing

We held you up
You walked on our hands
And I think it's time
You met our demands
Cause' we held you up
You walked on us all
And you let us down
So we'll let you fall
Yeah
We'll let you fall
We'll let you fall
We'll let you

I hope you know
We'll let you fall
I hope you know
I can't even stand
To see all you abandon
And I can't even stand
The fact your still standing
I hope you know

Contour - Sidelines

Upcoming release Feb 21st, 2020. Cover of The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Contour - Seven Nation Army (Cover)

This somber angst-ridden forth single from Contour "Feral" ponders the question of whether or not we are better off as a self-actualized society compared to our animalistic nature. The more advanced we get the more we are lost as a whole, searching for meaning in religion and fame.

Contour - Feral

New Single "Science" Out Jun 5th, 2020.

Lyrics:
When science has killed all religion 
Is this in our best interest 
A violent quick decision 
When science has killed all religion 
What caused us so much division 
We've killed our gods contingence 
So are we lost or are we found 
Are we free or are we bound 

Now it's the point we all start again 
Our lives back in our hands 
What's the next excuse 
To steal their land, their oil, their lives 
Once we have nothing left to believe 
No more fear of what's beneath 
No more promises to keep 
Are we just convicts set free 

Are we just getting closer to knowing how alone we are 
The distance constantly growing between us and the stars 
Are we just getting closer to knowing how alone we are 
The distance constantly growing between us and the stars 

Your god's not dead he was never here 
Carefully fabricated to hold all of your fears 
To keep you docile, to keep you sane 
To breed your anger all in vain 
I hope you never see the truth
  
Our passions become relic 
Time slowly kills us all 
Soon we'll all be like caveman 
Scratching pictures on the walls 
And will we know in a thousand years 
The constellations that have disappeared
The gods that we prayed to when we were kids

Contour is an ode to the bands of his youth and a protest against the dwindling of rock music. Influenced by bands like Brand New, Billy Talent, Manchester Orchestra, Radiohead, and Thrice - Contour aims to contribute to a genre that has given so much.
