1.	So Kind 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Sortin' through the bones again   Still feel it burnin'   Everyone has different ways of coping  It’s all part of the mechanism   When you say that  Makes me feel so bad    Keep your mouth   Closed enough so the words  Don’t fall right out   Think about the consequence   Of mindless humiliation   Say it’s a coincidence   We fall apart in the end   When you say that  Makes me feel so bad    Keep your mouth   Closed enough so the words  Don’t fall right out If I can’t fix you   Might as well join   This may be best left to imagination  Let it run wild   You can be so evil  You can be so kind You can be so evil  You can be so kind You can be so evil  You can be so kind You can be so evil  Without even trying You’re so fuckin' evil Without even trying   When you say that  Makes me feel so bad    Keep your mouth   Closed enough so the words  Don’t fall right out
2.	Idiot 04:40	lyrics	buy track
What if I let you in?   Would you understand ?  Or waste my time again?   I can’t tell you anything   Without being seen a child   Follow me now   Could it be you’re   Sick and no one can see?  Maybe I’m afraid to walk away   What if I held my breath?   Would you count to 10?   You can tell me anything  I won’t see you a child   Follow you now   Could it be you’re   Sick and no one can see?  Maybe I’m afraid to walk --  Could it be you’re sick and no one can see?  Help me out from this silence   Counted stars so I could be  A part of mediocrity   The silence in a sleepless night  Is harder than you know to fight   After we’re gone where do we go?   Follow the waves   Ebb and flow  Insignificance you latched onto  It swallows up all of you   Seek outside you’ll find me   Somewhere between past future meet   Constant smiles become a scream now I don’t wanna talk about it anymore.  Try  Pity washes up upon a dry shore
3.	Lost On You 03:56	lyrics	buy track
The realization that you   Are everything to me   Is so frightening  I can’t breathe   I can’t be lost on you  I can’t be lost on you   Wear me down - Watch me break   It’s critical - the condition   You’ve fallen in once again  It’s okay, don’t be afraid  We’ll find a way you can refrain   I can’t be lost on you   I can’t be lost on you   Wear me down - Watch me break   Believable - the position   You claim you’ll never be in again  It’s okay, don’t be afraid   We’ll find a way you can sustain   I can’t be lost on you  I can’t be lost on you   Wear me down - Watch me break   What you think about me  Is none of my business   I can’t be lost on you   Not even my maker   Has the right to shame I can’t be lost on you
4.	Cyclecide 05:22	lyrics	buy track
They just need   Something to believe in   Someone to concede to  Don’t care if it’s real Didn’t have much but you gave   Parasites take what they may   And they couldn’t try for you   Wouldn’t die for you   Bottled years of regret, and now nothing is left, and they   Wouldn’t die for you    You took more than was offered   Now you’ll pay   I’m open to the possibility   I might be wrong this time   Didn’t have much, but you gave   Parasites take what they may   And they wouldn’t try for you   Wouldn’t die for you Something I know that they wanted to do,  But they wouldn’t die for you    You took more than was offered  Now you’ll fade   I’m open to the possibility  I might be wrong this time    I’m open to the possibility  You might be wrong this time   I can see that you’re hurting   But you’re always wanting more   On the surface you’re a grown man   But you’re a child at the core   Did you get enough of her yet?   Guess it had to come to this   No benefit to your existence   A product of prolonged remiss Cyclecide Cyclecide Cyclecide Cyclecide
5.	Hands 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Crawl around on the ground  Crookedly   Guess you’ll stay here   Stuck in infancy   A helpful hand pulls you out   Could make you see   Guess you’ll stay here  Indefinitely   I’ve done all I can   You know where I stand   Now I know   Now I see   Now I’m where I’m supposed to be    Broken in, broken down, clarity   Forgiveness won’t clear your history   It’s all the same to me   I can’t be what you need   Take your hands away from me  Give it all away   Give it all away   I don’t wanna fight   I can be by myself   I don’t need your time  I...  Give it all away  Give it all away
6.	Groomed 04:48	lyrics	buy track
What it took just to move a little closer   I feel the grip loosen again  And now it’s comin' back   Fragments of youthful delusion   And now I can't react   It’s taken work once she didn’t wanna wake up   She’s making waves somewhere   She’s doing fine but it really did a number   She was a child   You liar   You were no hero   Deny   Groomed up with no real place to go   Oh no you’ve done it now   The satisfaction that you feel  Is just inconsideration   It’s taken work once she didn’t wanna wake up   She’s making waves somewhere   She’s doing fine   But it’s been a fucking rough one   She was a child   You liar   You were no hero   Deny   Oh here it comes again  You pick up your pride and walk on  And here it comes again   There is an end to this  Statustory   She was a child   You liar   You were no hero   Deny    Set me on fire   And watched me burn   Killed you to see me rise   Ostracized  Fossilized   Newly ripe for the night   Who am I?   What it took just to move a little closer   She’s makin’ waves
7.	Advice 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Oh here it comes again   The only way to go  Isn’t my choice at all   Ya think you know.   "Take my advice, it’s the only one you need"   Decipher weak from kind   Don’t think you can   Listen to what I say   Not what you’re hearin’   Take what you need, it no longer serves me   Succumb or not to come   Fail either way  Resist forever or you’ll stay the same   Something’s broken in a triggered mind   A little pain you wanna run and hide    Am I insane? - Are you the same?   How does it feel to know I’m alive?   You’re not   How does it feel to know I survived?   How does it feel?   How does it feel to know I’m alive?   You’re not   You’re not   Something’s broken in a triggered mind  A little pain you wanna run and hide    Am I insane? - Are you the same?   I’m not sane   Something’s broken in a triggered mind   A little pain you wanna run and hide    Am I insane? - Are you the same?
8.	FFOM 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Hatred passes time in confused minds  Stirring up the truth until you’re blind    Complacent you sit and wait   Hoping that it all will fade   Oh why does it have to be this way?   Silence - Why do you speak your mind   Smile - When nothings fine   Follow - Me into dark divides   Swallow - All of your pride   I am not alone   I am not the only one    This is not my home   Far from mine I’ve had to   Far from mine I’ve had to run Silence - Why do you speak your mind   Smile - When nothings fine   Follow - Me into dark divides  Swallow - All of your pride   It’s not your fault you don’t know how to behave   You’ll get a pass cuz “it’s just the way you are”   It’s in the way  It’s in the way  It’s in the way that you’re acting like you give a damn   About us, about them  A bout anybody, but yourself   It’s ok  It’s ok   We’ll find a way to dig ourselves out of this hole   That we’re in   Cuz of you   And your ignorant followers   You can be sure   We have been here before  We will be heard   We will be heard

about

Gabrielle Graves Los Angeles, California

She's a singer/songwriter - just not the kind you're used to. Same basic concept as all the rest, but a whole lot louder.

Hypnotic grooves, personal and powerful lyrics, paired with searing guitars and a thunderous rhythm section serve to create a unique sound that is all her own. ... more
