Frozen Iris 00:59
Freezing in cold I tried to fight the wrath of boredom That took a hold of me Laying in the snow Falling over you In the driveway, a mile long Fading color from the sky Paints a frozen river of blue and white Vanishing tracks chasing Two distant lights The eyes stare back Frozen I cast a shadow In a picture out of focus Framed by trees That stand unseen
2.
Mirage 01:14
Monochromatic scenery surrounds me One hue to a tapestry Dark figure creeps closer Blending with the horizon Who is following me? What is following me? Spending sleepless nights walking Can't even think of stopping Reason is toppling Emotion is for the weak
3.
Poisoning your mind Making you rely Fabricated friends Fill your head with lies Just because You can type Doesn't mean People hear you Click 'like' if you agree Then we can be the same Because we like the same things We are all typing About what we're doing But all we do Is sit around typing You don't know us All you know is what we say All you know is what we say All you know is what we say All you know is What we say All you know is What we SAY
4.
World's Fair 01:18
The year of the World's Fair Will bring us new horrors The sun glares on new tools For engineering War The future is scarred 10,000 ways to kill Take another desert Take another diet pill The year of the World's Fair Will make the dumb dead So the smart can feel smarter Let's go to the fair
5.
Everyone dies When criminals die It's only special treatment Granting them a way out The living still suffer Torture them further Keep them in a cell Experiencing Hell No more special treatment No more special treatment No
6.
Pins 01:21
You only have corrupt beliefs That slowly eat your soul You are just the ground cover Wishing to be born again You only see yourself When you look at others You are the self-absorbed Wishing you were alive You will not ascend If you're buying in Leave yourself behind So that you can find your way Again Dive into a sea of straight pins Swim into the depths of horror While you dwell within the deep, You may find it hard to sleep
7.
The Face 01:23
High above where I sleep is a shadow on the wall A hand reaching for me in a dream There's a face on the ceiling speaking silent words Dictating to my mind a nightmare His eyes say more than his words And claws rip my flesh Is it a dream? I'm falling down a mountain forever Meeting every tree on the way down Bones begin to crumble Then I wake To a demon's face Where I once was Is now empty space
8.
Serpent 00:57
Intelligent men Only feed fools Wise men don't lie The mind denied Creeping serpent crawls inside your head Rendering what once thought, dead
9.
I fell out the window when the Earth turned sideways A thousand reflections in a broken mirror Look within the frame and see a thousand deaths A sing-along chorus tells of my shattered skull We all fall into the mustard sun Our bodies are pepper on an overcooked egg We hear wind chimes counting all the dead My veins are mercury rivers Gravity throws bodies farther Death quickly grows closer As we burst into clouds of vapor I'll be reborn as the spider
10.
The trees shed leaves Checkering a silver lake The surface grows darker As surrounding hills cast their Shapes The park grounds dim As the sun retires I'm hiding here Distant footsteps echo uphill
11.
The speedway shined Reflecting the sun Sweat on the wheel Loosening his grip Tires catch the wooden ramp The sky fills his vision And flips upside down Now he sees the ground
12.
The Stream 01:35
Cranium ruptures in a different world Time spills out The dark eats me I step high over your corpse Memories are coming back to me Decay speaks through my nose The stench is coming back to me Why? I thought through this would fall down I thought through this would fall down I
13.
There's an image of the sea In the wood grain across from me Depth perception lies We take a step inside No surface to touch We try to act surprised The room crumbles The forest muffles the sound of crashing waves Rocks jut out to grab your feet Find yourself back in reality Sitting in your seat You just had a daydream Across the room from me Me

about

The first album by Leaves. The objective is to provide our listeners with an ever-shifting and crushing experience, discarding many musical conventions and focusing not on genre or style, but on the culmination of the Heavy Metal sound, as re-imagined for the modern age. Raw, and powerful, presenting tiny details through flaw, combined with mechanized percussion using "music concrete" samples, and creative progression through distorted bass guitar riffs. All music is cemented with powerful vocals, aggressive but clearly understandable, adding conviction to every line. ENJOY FRIENDS.

about

Leaves Renton, Washington

The music of Leaves is a diverse and energetic release of aggression and sound. Heavy and driving riffs pound through with crushing tone and as of yet, utilize a unique collection of distorted bass guitars and percussion samples of cardboard boxes, pot lids, and coffee cans. Jeff Vaona's dense and rampant music is augmented with the commanding vocals of Kyle Davenport and his sampling methods. ... more
