Ourself EP and Lyrics...

Hey all,

Brent here. So the guys have decided to call their first recording and EP as a band, "Ourself". We're waiting a bit to get some money together to send the EP off for CD production. In the meantime, we're trying to figure out what we want as an album cover. Nothing's for sure yet, but the prime idea circulating at the moment is an image of some puzzle pieces strewn across a table.

Personally for me, no matter how spoken-word some vocals are in some of the music I listen to, I rarely understand more than half of the lyrics. Reading them and seeing what's actually said always makes me like the songs better because I find something in the lyrics that's relatable.

Ourself EP LYRICS:

No One I Know

still it stings where once you were
and until not I'll burn
less and less each day
becoming what you made me
until you are a stone
until you are a bang
until your face is gone

you cannot be her
she was pure
who are you?

every lover takes a piece
the holes are who we are
the parts we couldn't bare to lose
when gone become ourselves
until we are a void
until we are a shell
until we are evolved
until we are a world

you cannot be her
she was pure
you cannot be her
she was sane
who are you?

you cannot be her
she was pure
you cannot be her
she was sane
who are you?


Our Gravity

we like to think we're meant to be
so we play pretend after our teens
to make ourselves believe again
that we're not broken children

but the colors don't seem to be
of the origin of our species
moving pieces desperately
hanging on to gravity, our gravity

forgetting is a way of fixing
things we can't assimilate
we find a complimentary shape
to make ourselves feel whole again

look for a hole we fit inside
call it a home a place to hide
or give a hole to someone else
and for a time you'll feel alive

but the colors don't seem to be
from the gods that we devised
moving pieces desperately
hanging on to gravity

we look for ourselves in other eyes
but our I's won't let us see
the I blinds the eye
the I blinds the eye
the I blinds the eye

but the colors don't seem to be
of the world that our I's see
moving pieces desperately
hanging on to our gravity
living in our gravity
dying in to gravity, our gravity


Siren

siren
given to
back and forth
fickle as the tide
arise a different woman
than the one I knew last night

how can you trust
her ocean with your heart
as her compass spins out of control
rocks are hiding in the dark
while Siren sings come come

perfect pendulum
given to
her impulse
her amnesia
her heart follows the wind
weather's changing all the time

how can you trust
her ocean with your heart
as her compass spins out of control
rocks are hiding in the dark
while Siren sings come come

have you heard the siren sing?
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

have you heard the siren sing?
ooh ooh ooh
have you heard the siren sing?
ooh ooh ooh
have you heard the siren singing?
ooh ooh ooh
have you heard the siren singing?
