Lunarblood

On a night of drinks and dress
The dead rejoice, the saints confess
But at enchanted hours they say
Monsters rise again
By rumors heard and whispers spread
We feel a presence yet unsaid
A lost unholy remnant
That is destined to attend
Before the dim October sky
She comes, a guest, I question why
And at the door I stop and fight
A trance, locked with her eyes
Oh Lunarblood your nature shines
How have you danced through desperate times
Do human heartstrings lie within
The moonlit night's monarch
Oh show me are the stories true
Or do they lie to hide from you
A thrill that must awaken
A hunger from the dark
Steadfast, she moves across the room
A presence chilling as your doom
The traveler of two worlds
The howling deep divide
We freeze bewitched, perhaps, or dead
Entranced by moonbeams rusted red
But are these skipping hearts
From instinct or our pride
Before the dim October sky
She comes, a guest, I question why
And at the door I stop and fight
A trance, locked with her eyes
Oh Lunarblood your nature shines
How have you danced through desperate times
Do human heartstrings lie within
The moonlit night's monarch
Oh show me are the stories true
Or do they lie to hide from you
A thrill that must awaken
A hunger from the dark
Dim lights
On the evening's breath
From the depths
Rules the mother of the midnight
And like wild she goes
As the city knows
You have the spotlight
A devil's stride
Your cursed birthright
The alpha's pride
Or so the tales write
Where "none survive"
Has your taste partaken night's temptation
Outside
The portrait's frame
Known by a bloodline
But rarely named
Oh when the hunt comes
Do you feel the pain?
Or do you feel exhilaration?
She looks, I stare, can't break away
I face, prepared, my final day
To die, her eyes, provide
Her will before her words
A dance, she says, I swear I hear
A taste of night, implies, I fear
That I, to her, surrendered here
Eclipsed a thousand years
Oh Lunarblood your nature shines
How have you danced through desperate times
Do human heartstrings lie within
The moonlit night's monarch
Oh show me are the stories true
Or do they lie to hide from you
A thrill that must awaken
A hunger from the dark

Running Up That Hill

It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
You
It's you and me
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearin' you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You
It's you and me
It's you and me
And it won't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get Him to swap our places
Be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
Be runnin' up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
You
It's you and me
Oh, come on, baby
Oh, come on, darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh, come on, angel
Come on, come on, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh

Can't write a stanza where the story's over
Might need the vibe to hit with something bolder
The bad dogs
The sad songs
The spice of life
These ups and downs will keep my body floating
Against the current inspiration's flowing
So hold on
If you're strong
And strapped in for the ride
Might need that low to hit a new high
Give me that rush to stay in my stride
The long nights
Give me something to write
'Cause I don't write happy endings, baby
Can't stop the game I'm all the way in
Stuck chasing cars just to feel the wind
They're hard times
Living on the red line
But the bad days make for good songs, don't they?
Bad dreams
Sad scenes
They'll keep you rolling your eyes
Keep 'em fixed
We exist
To find a way to survive
And I feel alive
It stings
So good
When you fail and regret
Miles through
The woods
But you're not out of them yet
Storms are brewing ahead
Don't give up, get wet
Don't give up, get wet!
Might need that low to hit a new high
Give me that rush to stay in my stride
The long nights
Give me something to write
'Cause I don't write happy endings, baby
Can't stop the game I'm all the way in
Stuck chasing cars just to feel the wind
They're hard times
Living on the red line
But the bad days make for good songs, don't they?
No, to win, you don't need the crown
Just keep going, and never back down
Oh the will of the muse
Inspires and pursues
And it tends to like it loud
Don't cry for me
I keep the tragedy
'Cause pressure makes the diamonds
And I don't accept defeat
I'll take the suburban streets
With the pleasure of defiance
Like I'm playing this for keeps
If we don't struggle then what's the purpose
And you could argue we don't deserve this
But we grow weak in times
Where everything is fine
So I'll keep on singing
Might need that low to hit a new high
Give me that rush to stay in my stride
The long nights
Give me something to write
'Cause I don't write happy endings, baby
Can't stop the game I'm all the way in
Stuck chasing cars just to feel the wind
They're hard times
Living on the red line
But the bad days make for good songs, don't they?

Au Revoir
06:33
|
|||
|
As ships stuck in bottles
Or clay sculpted models
A picture of dust and decay
We've searched for an ending
To colors pretending
And secrets kept shuttered away
I yearn to break open
To peel back the paint
Are these footsteps of fools
Or the steps of the saints
I can't see to the edges
This trapped reverie
All the cards are foretelling
Its eyes are on me
And yet
The faint silhouette
Eclipses the all consuming
Questions looming
Hearts
Familiar and dark
Still touch on a memory
Now obscure
Les couleurs s'évanouissent
La lumière noircit
Silence
Silence
Au revoir
May we meet again
When for those who come after
We’ve buried our friends
In the last memoir
I'll rewrite the rain
Paint the strokes of creation
Adapted from pain
I was there on the shores
And was put in my place
Now I'm losing my mind
Or repainting my face
I'm not sure where the canvas
Begins and I end
Have we finished our journey
Or am I condemned?
The march of the embers
That no one remembers
A fracture has left us this grave
But as one of ashes
My memory clashes
Somehow leaving me unafraid
And yet
The faint silhouette
Eclipses the all consuming
Questions looming
Hearts
Familiar and dark
Still touch on a memory
Now obscure
Les couleurs s'évanouissent
La lumière noircit
Silence
Silence
Au revoir
May we meet again
When for those who come after
We’ve buried our friends
In the last memoir
I'll rewrite the rain
Paint the strokes of creation
Adapted from pain
I've pulled at the threads
Of this tearing facade
Are these tricks of a devil
Or works of a god
If I can't tell the difference
My worth seems unknown
But still I keep on marching
Towards tragedy's throne
Can art show the meaning of
True sacrifice
In the dust of creation
A refugee's price
Still I choose my emotions
These phantoms aren't real
So I'll cling to an image
As canvases peel
But when I remember
I don't understand
Why destroy a soul's memoir
The work of pain's hands
For in each our own way
We suffer our share
If our hearts won't accept
Then we must be repaired
Au revoir
May we meet again
When for those who come after
We’ve buried our friends
In the last memoir
I'll rewrite the rain
Paint the strokes of creation
Adapted from pain

Until I'm Dead
05:34

I guess I've known my share of fear
But there's no pain when you hold me here
We'll talk until our voices break
I hope you hear me anyway
My memories feel empty without you
The only thing that feels like a home
Your words are living deep in my heart
As you are
Will you be my cornerstone
Together in the troubles we shine through
The joy and all the tears that we shed
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to love you
Until I'm dead
Tonight I curse these miles apart
But fate can't keep me very far
Our journeys end and start anew
I'm always coming back to you
My memories feel empty without you
The only thing that feels like a home
Your words are living deep in my heart
As you are
Will you be my cornerstone
Together in the troubles we shine through
The joy and all the tears that we shed
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to love you
Until I'm dead
I'm clueless and confused
Few things I know forever
But I want you 'til the end
You are my sun and moon
A lifeline everlasting
That I can't comprehend
And when we're gray and old
I wanna be within your story
When this lover's tale is told
We stumble as we grow
But you held me tight
One autumn night
And I'll never let you go
My memories feel empty without you
The only thing that feels like a home
Your words are living deep in my heart
As you are
Will you be my cornerstone
Together in the troubles we shine through
The joy and all the tears that we shed
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to love you
Until I'm dead
Until I'm dead

I've been listening to Gavin's music for over a decade and he still continues to improve and produce absolute bangers. Everything in this album is great withe the standout song to me here is Liquid Nights & Disco Lights! Love how he can make so many great tracks with a variety of styles, keep rocking on Gavin!

An eclectic mix of songs, but in a good way. Many songs are jaunty and catchy. To me they invoke a sense of adventure. Perfect for D&D night.
