Close the Night (free) 03:52
How can you stop and turn back the hands of this clock? How can you go and bring us back to the start? How can I ask you to change the man that you are? How can I still be willing to give you my heart? I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with you I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with Can't you see what I think, exactly where I stand Kneel my head to the ground Take the earth from my hands Can you hear all the silence I throw to your face Caught between your rock and this very hard place I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with you I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with you And when you see The pool of my love at your feet I hope you feel The life-force that flows out of me And when you see The pool of my love at your feet I hope you feel... I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with you I won't close the night on you I will walk through the dark with you I will walk I will walk I will walk My heart cold as a shadow

I'll pick and scratch you out my skin I'm never, ever gonna let you back in I'll cry, and sweat, and bleed you out From the bottom of this glass In the middle of a drought Forty days and forty nights Locked in my room Trying to get myself right Unpack my heart, and board the doors To find myself face down on the floor And I tell myself that I And I tell myself that I Will hang my soul out to dry And I tell myself that I And I tell myself that I Will hang my soul out to dry My weathered hands they reach for you And pray to God they never do I'll hang my head, and pull my hair The last night I will ever be there Old Wive's Tale rings strong and true If you fool me once then shame on you You fool me twice The blame I take Now to the grave with my mistake I'll pick You gotta get out, you gotta get out I'll scratch You gotta get out, you gotta get out I'll cry I'll bleed You gotta get out, you gotta get out I'll beg You gotta get out, you gotta get out I'll die

The Ghost 03:04
We sit talk for hours, we're both saying nothing For what is there ever to say We sit, stand for hours and running in circles Both of us getting nowhere I talk to the midnight, to my television Asleep, you don't hear a thing You go through the motions The plain, ordinary Happy with repetition Till this ghost It followed you home, went through our front door And entered the hall This Ghost Followed you home, went down the hall And entered our room Now your Ghost is sleeping next to me Your Ghost is sleeping next to me Your Ghost is sleeping next to me Next to me Living complacent, living so politely We tip-toe around shattered glass O and tucked in the covers And filling the spaces A stranger we both know so well Please tell that Ghost to go away Please tell that Ghost to go away Please tell that Ghost to go away O Ghost of the Past please go away!

To be prefectly honest I was glad he was gone And the birds sang a chorus of his walk away song The sun will peak through as only it can do The sun brings the truth as only it can do It's hard to say no when it's two in the morning And you're scared of this house Need a man you can hold The moon brings him through as only it can do The moon weakens you as only it can do What would he say if I told him He is my beautiful poison I turn away and I swallow my words Yes, I swallow my words He lay wrapped in my sheets, I lay wrapped in his arms With each brush of his hand, O it tangles my heart The sun sends him home as only it can do The sun brings the truth as only it can do What would he say if I told him He is my beautiful poison I turn away and I swallow my words Yes, I swallow my words With our bodies intwined, close the walls in our mind And I promise myself this will be the last time But the moon brings him back, as only it can do The moon weakens you as only it can do What would he say If I told him He is my beautiful poison I turn away and I swallow my He turns away and I swallow my heart I swallow my heart I swallow my heart Yes, I swallow my Heart

about

This is our debut EP; a collection of songs from the past two years. From journal writings of scorned love to late night scribbles and early morning epiphanies we compiled songs about the experiences of being in one's early twenties. This is a crazy, joyous, and sometimes heartbreaking time of self-discovery and change. After many sleepless nights and hours and hours of hard work...here it is

Enjoy.

Sister Gray Edmonton, Alberta

Alternative Rock infused with electronic textures. Two sisters; two opposing forces of nature amidst a chaos of crashing symbols, dirty bass riffs and soaring guitar solos. Energetic, relentless songs of heartbreak, dreams and the in between.
