Crush 03:36
I’m not prey To be tamed You’re not gonna run me down And lock your jaws around me You’re just bait Admit We’re not kids I know how you fall in love with imitation Forcing every situation Waiting for your line You caught a bitter sign of weakness Even now, healing fast I am crushed beneath this I went numb Have I won? When every smile is laced With drinks and wasted time Would you run? Too bright to see Your light in front of me Just wishing I was blind Blessed by what you bought Learn from what you’ve taught Take your confident display And throw your doubt away

Traps 03:57
Alive, alive To make promises That I deny When my motive fits it As soon as I start to feel I’ll stop buying bottles and take the wheel Apathetic I’m not asking for much Just a place to sleep And hands to clutch All we have to say Is say you will When our time comes My traps are laid Now play your guilt Don’t, don’t call it a comeback Arrive, arrive Lord am I gonna fit in? Don’t act surprised When no one will listen, yea, yea Apathetic I’m not asking for trust Just a way to shake my rust We have to stay So say you will When our time comes My traps are laid So I’ll wait

Tell me are you tired yet, Of breeding with the ignorant? I thought you knew Are you content With barely making any sense? So much for proof So much for truth I test my weight to move you A quiet mouth And breathing hands No witnesses To marry to your plans The bitter South The fertile land No monuments Unburied in the sand If I was your newest host I’d carry you straight to the coast Walk right in The water’s fine Your weaknesses Are gonna make you mine Was it worth revival then, To lead us through another hymn? That we both knew Never brings it back again The feeling that we started with If it gets you through Then make it true Remember we said, Remember we said, Remember we never left?

First cuts, last dates Loose ends, drink late Four shots to “The Sound of Settling” Hometown’s never hurt this much to me Whoa oh oh oh oh oh You’re not leaving it Whoa oh oh oh oh oh You’re all snared in its net Two months and the air was never colder Where were we living? I’ve made my peace with all my sins I’m not coming home for you I’m not coming back ‘til it gets bitter Now you get better Made up, third base Loose friends, think straight Four shots and “The Sound of Settling” More lost than your worthless memories Whoa oh oh oh oh oh Say I’m arrogant Whoa oh oh oh oh oh You’re a disappointment Four shots to “The Sound of Settling” Hometown’s always felt like a disease Four shots and “The Sound of Settling” More deaths of my friends than enemies Best friends, best nights Best friends, best lies

Colorado 04:09
Taking your time To dig it up And come back to life Get back in line You’ll be alright We were alright Catch fire Are you listening Is anybody still learning how? Against our Main reaction Reaction I can’t tire Of the feeling That something should be happening now Not inspired But it’s alright Yea it’s alright Freeze it off Can you think at all? The work’s on the way But I see it in you I keep making mistakes I hope I’ll be better soon If my lungs decay When my throat is through I’ll still sing for you I’ll heal things for you Breathing alone Everything’s closer The cut of the cleanest air In an old coat With the oldest ghost I left my heart there I caught fire I was listening I swear that I’m still hearing you now Been taught by My reactions Reactions

Halos 03:37
Test me I don’t need to sleep Soon I’ll start to breathe Soon I’ll part the sea, like you Wicked Old enough I knew Still too young to choose Hoping you would move, too soon Halos have gone So high only my heart’s moving faster Half gone I’ll try not to take what you’ve been after It’s done When I steal my brother’s laughter Halos, halos New queen Don’t bother, we’re burning everything That doesn’t sink Her father says he’s onto me Envy Watching his limbs fall off the tree Bright green Still too clean Halos have gone So high only my heart’s moving faster Half gone I’m not really one worth chasing after It’s done When I steal your daughter’s laughter Halos, halos First made to quit But I’m seeing clearly The shape of it, shape of it Not meant to be

Single Room 03:23
Cling to your faults Cling to the ones you hate the most Cling to the one who wants to let you go (Face it, they let you go) Cause I’ll be watching it pull through Always obvious I knew, did you? Sever your mind from me You are the one that makes The same mistakes And laughs because we try Cover your loss Cover when you miss the ones you love Cover the sickness you wear like a glove (Face it, it’s in your blood) You’re still new in my head, pull through Such a lonely fit, I grew, would you?

Shame 03:34
If I could ever change your mind Would you unwind the tape and take my side We’d be young for a while I feel like we should speak again When I say you’re missed it’s not pretend Are you lost or disguised? Don’t try to separate Nights you love from things you can’t change I ask the old refrain Is this the right one? Is this the right one? Burn through those ropes That keep you closed Come back and take me home Is this the right one? Is this the right one? Look at what your hands have made From the edges of a room I watched you change Unaware I remain I thought I had explained it all That you’d work up the nerve to take my call I’m aware I was wrong If I could ever change your mind I’d cripple it with shame and rob you blind No tricks, just lies You don’t glow I’m not gonna cling like smoke to your clothes You won’t know If it’s the right one Is this the right one?

Shadows 03:28
The discipline Would pull me under Just to capture my active mind Trust your hold and lift The passion to your lips The cup, the cold The silences Until they’re torn And over worn Then you cut Cut, cut it The discipline Will pull you under An attraction you can’t deny Faceless How am I supposed to face this? Your shadow Covers me like a cast Repetition I can hardly call you an actress Your freedom Built inside the web you spun Even you forget what you’re faking Faceless How am I supposed to face this? Your shadow Covers me like a cast I don’t want to seem graceless I just want it so bad I can taste it Would you shed your light, your skin To keep your station?

Lifted 03:23
The other side Of every line is fine It’s just division The summer tide Brings this back to mind But I hid it Tethered again O2 hose Is this what brings us closer? Your blood in my bones Leathery skin Shredded notes And the bed that brings you closer Grow up, go home Don’t touch his chest He can’t be reinvented With the pictures from before ‘Cause in a quiet town They steal without a sound And take your breathing And get this ended It’s a curse I want to see you lifted first I had pretended To be, to be Tethered again Feeling close Mourning like I meant it For once, could it show?

‘Til you’ve learned the way to grow Stay inside the world you know I watched you take an early start Against where the body’s aiming Build yourself a better heart And board yourself another ark Wait another month I could’ve caught you up We could’ve been the same kid Better that I wait to learn My faults in every situation Figured I could talk to you the clearest in my head, singin’ I could’ve had another name And called it just an imitation Thinking there was two of me when it’s too soon to say Que sera Give what you’ve Made to god Disguising your decisions As lack of inhibitions On contact Feel it come back Never early and it shows You’re the brightest light that never glowed Wait my life out making marks on the walls But you can barely see them Naked on the first night I thought I was missing sight But I was missing light Never having your eyes Or your short time To rest them To test them I know what we’ll be is a question But hardly one I’ve been answering for your life Wanting to keep it quiet One learned to fight And it’s not your first time Changing a name right? Que sera Give what you’ve Made to god Disguising your decisions As lack of inhibitions You think I wasn’t listenin’ But this is not my mission is it? Stay inside Don’t ever Say you tried Disguising your decisions As lack of inhibitions On contact Feel it come back

#41 04:09
Teach us your ways Reaching for longer days I haven’t changed In a while You can’t wash this out With chemicals Only with time Do you still believe There’s a part of you in me? That I haven’t seen You hid at home for weeks Can we go back tonight If it feels alright? Seventeen Still young and dizzy, dizzy Cities in a haze Work on through lightless days Separate and strange Do you smile? Push it through your mouth Like chemicals My hands are tied Get up, get up And start getting out You’re always too proud Get up, get up It starts over now

about

Unifier North Carolina

There are two sides to songwriting: feel good songs that captivate the mind, and songs that push the boundaries of a genre. The challenge is to make both sides happy with a catchy song that still moves a genre forward. Unifier’s debut album Colorado (produced by Jesse Cannon: The Cure, Saves The Day) has succeeded, fusing the pop-rock of Jimmy Eat World with the genre-pushing of Brand New. ... more
