Promises

The day is cold
Though colder for you I'd guess
The choice was hard
That must count for somethin'
But these promises we break you still believe
You changed your mind
Who saw that comin?
When I grieve
Make sure it won't mean nothin
This defeat
Had made us all too trustin
Now you're free
Of everything
We'd
Broken
The day is fought
With another ones regret
We carry on
Like you don't feel nothin
But these promises we break could never be
You changed their minds
Couldn’t see that comin
When I grieve
Make sure it won't mean nothin
This defeat
Had made us all too trustin
Now you're free
Of everything
We'd
Broken
Ohh, I'm talkin to no one
The day is cold
Rough colder for you, I'd guess
My time is up
And I won't keep anything
But these promises we break I still believe

Empty Victories

You call me an island
Or you can call me a fool
Call me whatever you want
No care for the wounds
You get what you wanted
You've proven your point
But I don't see it that way
Was it really worth the fight?
Cuz these victories are empty now
They're empty now
Who's to say what's wrong or right?
All these victories are empty now
And I'm empty now
You call me an island
Or you can call me your fool
Call me whatever you want
No care for the homes
You got what you wanted
You've proven your point
You'd do anything
(You've proven your point)
You'd do anything
Was it really worth the fight?
Cuz these victories are empty now
They're empty now
Who's to say what's wrong or right?
All these victories are empty now
And I'm empty now

Tense
Smiles
They even shake hands
But pleasantries in the air
Die fast
He's all
Talk
His ego could fill the room
"What do you want from this?"
She says
He takes over the floor
but every single word she's heard before
From a louder mouth than his
but he's got no idea just what he's stepped in
And now she must decide
To let him finish his whole diatribe
With his lonely eyes in mind
Yet he's got nothing to contribute here but
White
Noise
And it shatters so violently
with "I didn't ask for this"
Well, No shit
"What
Have you done?"
Your heart is growin'
Colder than it would be
If dead
"This is not your world"
She whispers
Her voice rip apart
His little lie
No thanks
You already had your chance
And leaving it up to you
We're dead
No thanks
You've already played your hand
and leavin it up to you
we're dead
No thanks
We're done listenin' to you
We already tired that once
And we're dead

Home

Her face in the mirror smilin' back
with broken teeth
A lingering feeling of hope
underneath
but she's
faced with these terrible things they've done
and that's
chased with a mixer of lies and blood
a pictures of them as one
picturing them as one
And he's
facin' these demons he made alone
and replacin memories of their home
a place he will never go
a place they can never go
Don't stop now
it's easy to fall down
the way you handle what comes next
will prove you, now
and it's
crazy to think they could feel alone
and it
takes me to misery of my own
cuz nobody's goin' home
everyone's lost their home
She will find a way to rebuild
they will find a way to rebuild it
we will find a way to rebuild it all

Empty sterile corridor
It's been your home, your bed and more
Since everything happened
Since everything happened
Waitin' endlessly for news
memorize those windows views
how did it all happen?
how did it all happen?
You walk
you wait
you pray
you do what you think will get you
through the horror
through the night
repeating "I'm a good person,
how did I end up here?"
Someone knew this would happen
someone knew this would happen
No one knows where they came from
No one knows where we went wrong
when everything happened
when everything happened
You walk
you wait
you pray
you do what you think will get you
through the horror
through the night
repeating "I'm a good person,
how did I end up here?"
Someone knew this would happen
someone knew this would happen
(No one knows where they came from)
Someone knew this would happen
(No one knows where we went wrong)
Someone knew this would happen
(No one knows where they came from)
Someone knew this would happen
(No one knows where we went wrong)
Someone knew this would

Stars will fade as we
Break away
The pain not receedin
But least we're still breathin
You're
On your way but it's
Way too late
Our timeline is leakin
But at least we're still breathin
You're
on your way but you're
Way too late
Our time here was fleetin
But at least we're still breathin
I fall away as we
Receive our fate
Time won't heal the bleedin
But at least we're still breathin
Every hope we wasted on tomorrow
Was a meaningless weight holding us to days that never come
Every hope we placed in that tomorrow
Meant that we were more surprised when that
Tomorrow never came
Tomorrow never came

SEEK your SOUND
by 2 Mello and Million Sunday
supported by 5 fans who also own “Empty Victories”
2 Mello and Million Sunday's styles fuse together for a sick flow you don't hear often. As an artist myself, I really dig the message throughout about that drive to create and improve. It translates well even to non-musical forms of creation!

On their first—and possibly last—record, the Sydney duo craft a sunny mix of shoegaze and indie pop; dream-pop dynamo Hatchie features.

An exhilarating blend of slacker rock, country, and new wave.

Too Late For Tears
by Veronica Lewis
Americana collides with ’90s alt-pop on the latest from Veronica Lewis, which sets potent vocals atop lush instrumentation.
go to album
supported by 5 fans who also own “Empty Victories”
An exquisitely light, bright and lively jazz piano meets chiptune. Never thought about this pairing but when performed by aivi & surasshu, this results in a mood lifting album. Songs have fantastic melodic content, kind of rare to see these days. It's like therapy.
