About Me

widowsandorphans has disbanded. So here's the story, after our last tour we decided to go on a long hiatus just to get our heads together and make some money. After a while that hiatus became a real break and we decided to move on to new things. Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to another record. Everyone will be working on other projects or school in the coming years so you may hear from us again. Currently Scrubs and Scott are working on a project called THE BIRTH. I'm (Micheal) working on a project called MT.HOPE. Both new projects have myspaces so feel free to check them out they're two very different styles and much different from widows. There are no hard feelings between members at all, i think everyone was just burnt out. We put in 4 good years and wanted to try new things. Alot of us hadn't had the chance to go to school yet and wanted to get that out of the way. Thank you to everyone who has helped us and came to see us or ever gave us a place to stay. We'll miss you guys. We love you too. This time of our lives will always be important to us. God Bless. etc. etc.Micheal Foulkwidows&orphans

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------
for anyone that has been asking for these here are the lyrics
"we are all exiles"
safe for the moment far from these thieves safe for the moment far away from these thieves the phantoms in the walls mourn the places they have died and though they seem so light their hearts are heaviest of all and on a palisade where the angels all take flight the ghosts of our hushed breath makes patterns in the sky go run faster, please run sweetheart cut up cut to pieces kiss our blind eyes and we'll know you mean it cut up cut to pieces kiss our blind eyes and we'll know you mean it safe for the moment far from these thieves the plan to state a motive, and flee so far away with me cut the questions cut cut cut it don't be so unknown honey don't be don't be don't be scared i've got a blessed heart a lie a lie a lie they told everyone evangiline this is the best of everything go run sweetheart i wont let them catch you please run sweetheart i wont let them catch you go my darling don't stop for nothing i wont let them catch you all these saints evangiline, bless all the children, while saints go unseen? this is your hope, this they will say, this is your fate this is the lie, this is the lie, this is the lie that you've told your daughter this is the lie you broke each other go run sweetheart (god bless this night) they'll lay waste to this world (god bless this night) come lord faster lay waste to this world
