Crushing The Dread
Self-imprisoned come and listen life wearing us down/ Tears in ears count back the years/ The silence takes us now/ You know that I’ve been waiting too long to let you into all my new songs ‘cause it’s nothing like I’ve known before/ The night gets awful lonely / The voices are all gone/ Crushing the dread/ Pushing ahead/ Taken so strong/ Dragged us along/ Covers us wide/ Say we’ll be fine/ Fears in our minds/ Standing in line/ Knew before I’d take much more my soul reflecting strong/ Feeling silenced through the violence/ Grieving what went wrong/ You know that I’ve been waiting too long/ To let you into my heart so strong / ‘Cause it’s nothing like I’ve known before/ All gone/ It’s hard to tell if we are well the turmoil breaks us down/ The night gets awful lonely/ The voices are all gone/
It’s hard to tell if we are well the turmoil breaks us down/ In sadness yelling hopeless dwelling future looks grim now

Cut Right Through
The words forced their escape from what’s inside/ I could no longer hide/ Always kept safely in my desk/ Your pain revealed the rest/ Thrown away I took the best/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Love went drifting my love was gone/ My love was sleeping when all went wrong/ Love was wishing our love was strong/ Love was sleeping when all went wrong/ I was torn in five directions/ And you showed me I belong/ We cut right through/ Now it’s time to show you too/ We’ve been forced without direction/ Now we can fly/ Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night/ You showed me quickly just what’s out of reach/ That glitter spray repeats/ All those missing parts belonged/ Just assembled all too wrong/ Found your branches to climb on/ I just knew it was true/ The darkness greets me/ Cut right through/ I want to show you too/ Torn in five directions/ Now we can fly/ To the treehouse in the sky/ I know every reason why/ I know what’s true/ And I want to show you too/ We’ve been drifting through the darkness/ Now we can fly / Towards that treehouse in the sky/ I’ve found every reason why/ It’s right in sight your light at night

Fears Float Away
Saw you from across the hall/ Touched me, are we still here?/ Said hold this for me ‘till I fall / And suddenly you know I wait in fear/ The pages torn words scrolled across/ You took my monsters knew my loss/ Take me over/ Take me over / Don’t say it’s over/ I flipped your switch remaining calm/ It’s beauty never made a sound/ That buried cracking open door/ Just welcomed me onto the floor/ Those inner demons flew right in/ And saved me through the years within/ What if I’m not strong enough?/ Don’t say it’s over/ It all comes clear as we’re moving near this won’t go away/ Fears Float Away/ Take me over/ Take me over/ It’s not over

Chasing Butterflies
Just like we never did/ Butterflies/ I’ve got the feeling that we’re were just leading ourselves back and more confused/ There is no substitute for the gathered skills we’ll likely never use/ What have we begun?/ What’s left if it’s no fun?/ I always felt outside/ So different to love than to like you/ Chasing Butterflies/ So different to know than to want you/ We had to leave it but it’s like we never did/ Had to believe it but it’s like we never did/ I thought we’d never find out if we weren’t the ones that knew it all before/ That glow confessed the boredom waiting behind this darkness telling more/ Could’ve seen you were my muse/ Could’ve been much less confused/ Could’ve lied here in the dark to find what would happen as our hearts grow true/ We’re the ones with all the noise to just tell you of all our toys already knew/ The ignorance ignored the steps we took off-shore/ ‘Cause we always felt outside chasing butterflies/ Wings before our eyes/ Truth before our eyes

I Should Have Known Better!
I don’t want to/ I can trace those thoughts restrained inside your head/ Broke the leak it burst exhausted anxious dread/ And I know what you did/ Now I’m so fed up/ Struck by how we’ve lived/ It’s time to get back up/ We’ve been falling scraping crawling/ You’ve let me down/ I just don’t know what to say/ My heart has gone away/ All that time I should have known better/ I stormed through this rocky avalanche/ Took it rough still fighting for my stance/ I know what we did/ I am so fed up/ Struck by how we’ve lived/ I may still have anger in my eyes and I just can’t do it anymore/ Sometimes I want to be alone I’m not sure/ Don’t want to be to say the truth/ We are falling straining crawling/ We are bawling grating stalling/ You’ve let me down I just don’t know what to say/ You’ve let me down/ You’ve let us down now/ We’ve let our hearts down/ We’re broken parts now and I don’t want too/ You took it too far/ No turning back now

Dead Trees
Why does the rain keep falling down on me/ I’m taking shelter under this big tree/ Why does the pain keep striking down on me/ I’m standing here unshielded can’t you see/ It’s the branches/ So empty/ No fruit for me/ You have no leaves/ Why can’t you see the forest through the trees/ That’s not the way this life is supposed to be/ Why don’t you hear this storm will have its say/ I’m watching all our branches break away/ You’re empty/ No good for me / Why can’t we see that you’re no good for me/ Storm has it’s way no shelter here you see/ Outside we hear destruction’s pouring near/ What’s left to blame this pain reflects our fear

Moonshot
We took the moon shot/ It all comes back to you / And saw my passion throughThis path is hot/ This plan is not the way I expected to/ The only way forward’s through/ We killed the first thought/ It all turns back on you/ the second only grew/ This hope is lost/ We’ll take the cost/ The only way forward’s through/ Inside you’ll always be burned inside of me/ What is happening now/ I can’t take what you said breached the darkness inside/ Burst out emptying my dread spinning all too fast/ Draining from my head/ Why do I keep falling for the game taking all the blame living just the same/ This left behind you’ll always be/Another trauma still burned inside of me/ Kill the monster inside you’ll always be the burst of trauma still trapped inside of me/ I feel the torture pushing through/ Left inept I can’t take I believed in you/ Who let these wheels spin off so fast racing from the past thinking this would last/ When Did you notice all my cries disaster of surprise opened all our eyes/ Where did this structure fall apart taking all our hearts breaking from the start/ Inside/ I can’t escape the nighttimeYou took it too far/ No turning back now

It’s Time
The Sun goes down/ I’m alive/ I used to feel more free/ Now too upset to see/ What is
happening now/ Who are you right now/ I saw the light of day/ There’s nothing left to say/ So much unreturned we’ve learned/ The screen’s torn open/ Speaking without words/ I don’t know what you’ve heard for a long time/ The rhythmic story does/ Come alive/ So much conflict left/ All that pain regrets/ I can’t express/ This silent coping/ The robot voices squeal/ Harmonic plastic wheels/ What’s to expect/ Regret/ When our sun is gone/ Find another one/ I’m alive/ Plants turning to the sun/ Our plastic world’s begun/ The seal is broken

Massive Explosions Only
The memories shuffle through the deck / I’m sorting through my past regrets/ All those feelings trapped inside/ Backstage the lights are low/ There never was a show/ On stage my life runs low/ Have we become the show?/ Won’t let these emotions trickle out slowly/ It’s massive explosions only/I know this feeling but it’s been a long time/ This is the wrong time/ The memories too hard to forget/ They’re pushing through more than I let/ All those feelings trapped inside

Bye Now
Jumped the cracks in the sidewalk we’d leaned on/ Had to dig my own line through the sand/ As I can/ All the castles fell down in my hands/ All the tears ran clear from our plans/ And I thought that by now we’d do better/ I thought that by now I’d be holding
your hand/ You might understand/ Bye Now Bye Now Goodbye Now/ Every day we just strive for what’s better/ Every day we just wait for the sun to return/ We’ve felt so burned/ So Burned/ Bye Now / We learned we learned/ Bye Now Return/ Can’t go back/ We jumped that track under attack we can’t go back/ Head forward now/ Bye Now/ I can’t return/ There’s too much learned/ We’ve been so burned/ I’m still waiting for what was missing then/ Of everything that ends/ I need you to understand/ I thought we’d do better by now we can’t return/ Every day we strive for what’s better every day we wait for the
sun to return

I went back to this song 10 or so years after Jane's Addiction wrote this and reloved it. You guys just reminded me of how great the song is. I love this album already. I'll always have this version nearby 😁 Thank You Emileigh & Lederman 🤘

Emileigh Rohn has an uplifting electricity in her voice that fills me with hope and energy. Now she teams with another living legend in Lederman to focus that fire into a swirling slow motion golden whip. Add in top tier remixes from Assemblage 23, Mark Hokings, and Leatherstrip and COP has put out another home run single. After working with electrosynphonic masters to create emotive sonic paintings like this, the only question that remains is. What will she do next?
