Wes Meadows This is a band in their prime, crafting exactly what they intend to craft: achingly powerful and anthemic laments with glorious and gothic attention to space and detail. Guitarist/producer Ryan's lead vocal debut is a standout, no doubt. Favorite track: Failing Circles.

You Were Growing 03:23
lyrics
buy track
You were growing where you weren’t supposed to be seen Peeking your head out from the shadows Stretching out your leaves to meet the sun. Or maybe waiting for the rain? Head full of color and charisma, swaying in the wind You were growing where you weren’t supposed to be seen. Peeking your head out from the shadows Stretching out your leaves to meet the sun. You were blowing kisses Caught on collars, caught on laces and garden beds You were blowing kisses You were growing where you weren’t supposed to be seen. He was in the tool shed! He was in the tool shed He was in the tool shed and he saw you swaying He was in the tool shed and he saw you swaying, blowing kisses in the wind And you were growing where you weren’t supposed to be seen Head full of color, head full of color and charisma… He cut it off.

I See You In Me 04:50
lyrics
All alone in the house and I can’t look at myself I see my father when I open my mouth I hear, I hear my mother and she’s calling for help And it’s hell in my mind, in my mind it’s hell Can’t you tell? I see you, I see you staring at me I see you, I see you in me Swelled up like a burn in the palm of a hand Blistered and bold from the heat of the pan I am what I am, and I am damned And I won’t feel anything, no I won’t, because I can’t I see you, I see you staring at me I see you, I see you in me Lather, rinse, repeat I am incomplete Rather bury it deep Ringing harsh than sweet I am incomplete Lather, rinse, repeat Don’t I deserve to be free? And I am man, I am man the disease Can’t wash away, can’t come clean It’s in me, I’m sorry Can’t come clean Will you love me? I see you, I see you staring at me I see you, I see you in me

Failing Circles 05:31
lyrics

They’ve got your tidings, hold their hands Wound up enough from where you stand Hold me, handcuffed and like your own Ends up familiar, where you are Shaped from all your wrongs Enough to sketch you, where do you want to stand? Up til where all you’re begging for is anywhere to mend Pick at the pieces Ain’t often they nail you where you are Pick at the pieces Ain’t often where you went too far Shake to muffle moans And all your purpose, all that show Nothing here to wear you out too well And they guess that, too, where few mount the wall Not too far Shaped from knife work but you wrung out your guts End up where I will get you Will I forget to… Hand off the feeling Fill up and get to where you Pull on the needle Same time, from where you always come Wear me out entirely We’ll ease our route, take my time We’re all close around you Feels like I’m crawling in sync Are we all now failing circles? Keep me awake Crossed out, this one calls out by name

Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up & Go! I have made an observation that calls for your attention It’s looking rather grim from this chair I’m sitting in. Why can’t anyone just listen? There’s static in the friction The open mouths, they chew the fat, there’s dribble on their chins I can’t! I can’t make out, what are they going on about? Block out the doldrum sound They hang themselves by their own pouts Are these my friends? I have my doubts. Hello, how are you? I see you’re doing well Another line of lies today, I think everyone can tell There’s something in the sequence, a subtle sense of grievance. I’m all alone, yet everyone is near me I try to shout, not anyone can hear me Block out! Block out! The sound! The sound!
