lyrics
One look at your eyes
and the feeling starts tearing me alive
you’re the muse in the back of my mind
a steady pulse of the slightest kind
And I don’t mean to pry
but there’s something about the step in your surprise
makes me wonder how I ever lead the lie
still the enemy is by my side
I could stand alone
in the tides’ surrounding glow
from the moment I lose my hold
I could stand alone
your beauty leads where my heart will go
a soft surrender while the madness grows
Do you see those stars?
Are they begging you to find a way to stay?
are they listening to every word you say
cause you’re the voice of the clearest day
And I will lay to waste
any doubt that has held me in the weight
of the years that I had no will to break
through the fears that I could not face
And I could stand alone
in the tides’ surrounding glow
from the moment I lose my hold
I could stand alone
your beauty leads where my heart will go
a soft surrender while the madness grows

Rory of Nitemoves is a good bud of mine and happens to be the drummer on Split Screens' EP. He's kinda a musical genius in all respects. This record is fucking wild!! Split Screens
Coast Jumper is a real band. Meaning, you have that rare instance of 5 people making music that clearly have spent quite a bit of time together on stage and off....it comes across for sure!! Split Screens
