Red Eyes 02:51
Suffocating depth, once a head, now a mess, all the things you’ve loved now bring no pleasure Your eyes are red No words to be said So red, so red No home, no meds Where to stand? Against the choices that you’ve planned Against the voices, that demand an answer Will you take it to your grave? Cause you’re fading and its a shame That you’re trading your passion for a paycheck Your eyes are red Like the spinning of your head So red, so red No home, no meds And are you depressed? The cost of your success What to believe It’s blinding and I can’t see Your eyes are red Like the spinning of your head So red, so red No home no meds Your eyes are red So red, a window to your head So red, so red No home no meds

Compensation 01:54
And it’s the same, yeah it’s the same problem. (I know, I know) And that’s the way, that’s the way out of (I know, I know) When you talk, well you catch all your feelings (I know, I know) And that’s the way, to compensate addiction (I know, I know) All the love that you’ve blown, your whole life is unknown (Cigarettes and Coffee) That’s the way you’ve been shown, the only way that you’ve known (Cigarettes and Coffee) A whole life you’ve disowned, a call on dial tone (Cigarettes and Coffee) A whole life you’ve disowned, a call on dial tone (Cigarettes and Coffee) And is it change, or is it something different? (I know, I know) Such a waste, that you can feel so empty (I know, I know) It’s like the sun, cause you can never touch it (I know, I know) And that’s the way to compensate addiction (I know, I know)
3.
Let Me Out 03:07
A pain in the third degree, You make a joke, condescendingly The words you can’t comprehend The nothing that steals, you befriend Let me out (let me out) Let me out (let me out) The sign of your empty sleep You take a step back, and then you repeat You’re only enough if you want to be Another locked door, and broken key Let me out (let me out) Let me out (let me out) Don’t let it get inside of your head And isn’t everyone a little bit sorrier when they’re dead Let me out

David Bowie 02:53
Unconscious Mind Are you full time? On the sidelines Can I resign? Was feeling tired When you were wired Don’t want to get fired The overhead That’s how you bled It’s all streamlined How to unwind Was feeling tired When you were wired Don’t want to get fired Taken what you want what you meant It’s all there, it’s written in the cement Take once, take twice, enough Shake me down, will you shake me some more?
5.
Blame 03:18
I, don’t only blame you Well I blame myself too I blame it all on you The colors you choose I blame it all on you Taken, you’re stuck and empty You got your money Do you feel alive? I’m so empty Is this the real me? I’m not alone I’m not the same I, don’t only blame you Well I blame myself too I blame it all on you The colors you choose I blame it all on you
6.
Reaper 02:16
Resting wrists, don’t fear the doorbell It’s the unknown Hijacked thoughts and black holes You found your void The nothing that steals you from your breakfast Are you dead? Boredom warms you like a thick coat Shed it off Aching to find some safety Not so fast Falling and sleeping become a hobby Can you wake up? Boredom warms you like a thick coat Shed it off

Slumlord 01:33
8.
Pack your coat pack your bag it’s after dark A house that’s hollow reflects the heart That’s not the only thing I taught myself The skin turns black when on a shelf After he disappears air turns to stone A heavy weight that’s never shown All and all you’ve moved out Deep underground Some precious dirt, a precious mound Sleep well forgotten friend a boy so tall You’ve cashed your chips, you’ve cashed it all That’s the only thing I taught myself The skin turns black when on a shelf
9.
Daymare 02:17
Shake my hand Shake my whole life too It’s not the same old stand It’s not built for two Enough, enough You said I couldn’t sing All I had, I gave you everything What’s the plan? What’s your whole life too Am I insane? I got a few screws loose It’s not enough That’s how I run away That’s how I run away
10.
Is It Summit 02:25
You can take it when you’re empty Another style, another feeling is it alright? Is it breaking are you backwards Can you see the abyss swallow? Is it warmer is it summer? Are you sweating, do you feel alive? Don’t go Feel it in you, escape it again Another gamble, another white bend It’s the same, a dark place Another running, I can’t feel the pace Is it summit, new intention Is it timing, is it connection? (No) I can take it, I can deal it, I can flip it But the money’s all gone Feel your bones are they shaking Obey your slumber, a struggle to calcify

about

"Necessary catharsis in the form of a ripping rock song."
- Leah Mandel, FADER

"they explode into searing riffs and wail in pure anguish, it’s a truly cathartic experience, one that seems to completely capture the discontent of the times" - DIY

"The Sea Life finds the Washington, DC noise-pop outfit weaving optimism into disillusionment" - Ben Kaye, Consequence of Sound
