Try to pretend that absence doesn't make sense That everything lost is found in odd formations Say something once then who would say it again? Say something once then who would say it again? Everything stays then I guess everything stays Everything stays then I guess everything stays Back and forth, back and forth Running around to find my goddamned keys You look so sad and lost Your life has left you all alone again It's a road we've gone down One-million different ways In a parallel life Everything stays [Of a material world Of a place so forgotten to itself in its own superfluity Of a world where all moving parts have motives Spawned from all crevices of the Absurd That all entities Regardless of their universe's reckoning of animation Should no longer consider whether they are or are not In their own terms In a state of existence recognizable by all other entities I am of such place I am from such world It is cold Warmth it seems is no different thing that any other thing That was once mine That could have been mine That will never be mine in this present state] Try to relax when nothing's in its right place An anagram motion moving everyday Retrace your steps to find out where you once were Retrace your steps to find out where you once were Everything stays and I guess everything stays Everything stays and I guess everything- woo Back and forth, back and forth Running around to find my goddamned keys You look so sad and lost Your life has left you all alone again (alone again) It's a road we've gone down One-million different ways In a parallel life Everything stays And again

Follow You 05:03
I want to follow you until No one ever talks about their lives I want to carry you until I want to speak with you until No one has another thing to say When you can't stand a word I say Hey Don't try to talk about yourself I already know about your life And you know all about yourself I want to carry you until Your eyes never want to come my way I want to follow you until

Last Tuesday 05:16
In a fleeting dream I had not so long ago He had a point and she knew just where to go And the memories made sense And easy goals were just over the fence But the years start to add up Until she cracks, asking where the good times went And he's sure they've had a few But they're never coming back Oh, you know the words that I'm trying not to say In the most verbose and inefficient way With a heart metal and gray Assess the odds and tell me it's okay It's hotter every day You know the words that I'm trying not to say The "I'm Sorry's" every day You deserve better anyway And then I woke, and the world had just begun Nothing compares to being born with the sun And who's got the time of day To fret about in unpeculiar ways? Over lifetimes of dissent Haven't you heard? Last Tuesday came and went And that's all that could explain the feelings that you sent The world is new and it's nothing I can prove Last Tuesday came and it gave you all you knew And this place came as it is Nothing's as real as the twenty years you've missed And I'm trying to make sense Of what I know and what's over the fence But I know I'll be okay It's just a memory anyway The world is new and it's nothing I can prove Last Tuesday came and it gave you all you knew And this place came as it is Nothing's as real as the twenty years you've missed And I'm trying to make sense Of what I know and what's over the fence And I know I'll be okay It's just a memory anyway

Insanity 03:26
Somebody tosses a bouquet today (somebody catches and runs away) Somebody finds them a mate today (I'm so a-lonely and lost today) I want not to seem lost alone (when one becomes two great thing) When two dissipate, that's the end, they say (I'd swear it wasn't fault today) (I really think I'm losing my damn mind) I'd swear it wasn't my fault, I'd say (I think it wasn't my fault today) I'd swear it wasn't my fault, I'd say (I'd swear it wasn't my fault today) I'd swear it wasn't my fault, I'd say (I'd swear it wasn't my fault today) I'd swear it wasn't my fault, I'd say (ladada ladada ladada ah) I'd swear it wasn't my fault, I'd say It's not my fault When I'm around you, I never know myself That's just dandy This glass's half-full, not a drop less or more I love you more I cant say that quite for sure

Falling Dice 04:46
Lost in the midst of, once or twice Or ten times now, or something more The strangest sense of falling dice That shift from table to the floor I let the odds slip by again Perchance my stance is unopposed then I would like to meet you then And hope to God my luck won't show I can't believe it's come to this I practiced my lines note for note But as I move on through the mist I cannot speak but so it goes So pull the trigger in the dark And count the seconds from the pull And feel them weighing on your heart But heart is nothing but muscle so.. Lost in the midst of, once or twice Or ten times now, or something more The strangest sense of falling dice That shift from table to the floor I let the odds slip by again Perchance my stance is unopposed then I would like to meet you then And hope to God my luck won't show

Cowhorse 08:57
Hey, how have you been? Been checking in, your lights look dim Well, I guess it all makes sense It's been months of repeated offense Oh, look at the cow horse go He wears a gold watch selling milk carts I know there's deterioration It's been scratching at me by the window Well, I guess it all makes sense It's been months of repeated offense Oh, look at the cow horse go He wears a gold watch selling milk carts It's just a little bit free to quit these days It's just a little bit familiar to the need of coffee in the morning I can't really say that I'm too surprised Because I've seen fellows flatline before their eyes dry The bird dies

Why the long face? You would have laughed not so long ago Where did you go, I don't know And why have I grown cold to anything that you could say to me Please, I'm somebody else Tell me, why must things that I love change? I will be here as sure as there are stars in the sky For stars, surely, never die Or they already have, but those problems are miles and miles away There's nothing to say Tomorrow I'll feel another way No one tells you what's breaking down until it's run its course The world is fine, nothing's forced I'd rather dissolve than know who's changing, it's the world or me But I miss it all Oh why must everything change? Oh can't you see? I swear to god I'm trying It's got to be worse than dying Just makes me feel like dying Hurts to my soul like dying The world turns O! If it turns for me let it stop for me

about

The Stone Lows Rochester, New York

Hailing from Rochester, New York, The Stone Lows are comprised of singer/guitarist Liam James Welch, bassist Henry O’Brien, guitarist Edward McAndrew, and Alexander Klick on drums.
