Sounds Like: After you pass the cloud of smoke and see our smiling faces you’ll know you’re in the right place. Light it up, lay back, relax, and listen to whatever flows through your veins. Its chaotic yet controlled. Love and Hate. Dreams and Nightmares. Visions and Alterations. Labels are for pop bands and labels we are NOT. Take it in and breathe slowly, let us fill your lungs with a sweet softness and a pacing angst. Turn off the radio and the t.v. set and sit in the darkness. Let the words become your own. Let the music seep into your soul. Let the fairy gods take over and watch....as the leprechauns start to dance. This is a fairytale. This is a myth. This is strange effect that you are feeling. It can feel strange but yet somehow familiar and comfortable. Breathe In, Breathe Out. You are the soul of this music. You are this music. The words are yours to manipulate. Take it, leave it. We really don’t care. We’re just trying to stay alive and this is the only way we know how.
