lyrics

I thought I knew myself.
But I never did imagine myself pulling the sun down on your head.
The dreams you've had!

Am I responsible for every single nightmare?
Am I the channel for what's flowing down your cheek?
Do I even need to ask?
Do I really have to ask?
I didn't think so.
Oh fickle love.

You're sticks, I'm stones, we'd break all our own bones if you would give us half a chance at storybook romance.
I think if this is the last song we'll ever sing for strength, or pain, or pleasure...well, let's make it a good one.

Come on, the worst is over. Let's make it a good one.

If we don't try this now, if we don't do it loud, this river's where we drown.

Between your eyes, your skin, your kiss, your tears and your voice - I've rediscovered what it means to be a decent person.
And though I may never forgive myself for what you felt inside, I'll carve it deep into my chest:

"She's the reason you're alive."

And we may sing this song a thousand times over, but if we remember the words we'll always have a hand to hold.

If you can lift the sun, I'll never leave your side.

They met in 2010 when Chris auditioned for a now defunct old band of Louis's. Despite that bands breakup shortly after their auditions, the two knew they wanted to create something together.

Their album, Fractal Cage, is the visceral musical product of that meeting. ... more
