The Clock 04:31
Your arms are stretched out like the hands of a clock Tired and broken still missing a home I have to cover my face My expressions from you It’s only a matter of time This vacant sign is heavy around my neck Glowing more brightly with every heart beat I have to cover my eyes My thoughts from you There’s no more time left for us Chorus And those pretty photos you take They don’t teach anyone anything Both of my hands are broken for now Judgment and reason have slipped beneath the cracks I have to cover my mouth My words from you Time has given up on me Chorus

Chorus Woah woah Now all this resentment is killing me I wonder when I will clear my name And I need to leave and take all these faces with me But it's these faces with their frowning eyes That have been cutting every corner Pre-Chorus And I, I can't breathe Chorus Woah Woah Now my bed never meant that much to me Take it out and light the night sky With its' burning memories of first times and sleepless nights Everything that you don't do keeps my heart at bay And these days are getting longer Pre-Chorus And I, I can't breathe Chorus Woah Woah

So this is what it's like to breathe Without your hands around my neck You've been shoveling coal in the engine of my brain But this ship is sinking And we're all going down You need to decide what is right What all this will add up to I'm staring to think that you'll forget me first If I haven't already left it, left it all behind Chorus The space between is no long enough And I'm pushing farther away You stay still cause I'm never coming back I refuse to see what could have been So this is what it's like to breathe Without your hands around my neck You've been shoveling coal in the engine of my brain But this ship is sinking And we're all going down Chorus The space between is no long enough And I'm pushing farther away You stay still cause I'm never coming back I refuse to see what could have been

about

"The Last Thing You'd Expect" was about a year in the making. Our previous EP "Familiar Faces" was good, but didn't cut it. After a lot of software and hardware upgrades the three of us got together to record what we see as a huge accomplishment. The artwork and all the recording was done by us, in our bedrooms. We didn't feel the need to drop thousands of dollars on something that we could do just as well and with the band having complete creative control.
