The Constant 05:32
lyrics

When you leave tomorrow in the daylight Promise you’ll think of me And when you sleep tonight and the next night Don’t leave me out of your dreams… I’m awake all night, I’m asleep all day And let me tell you now, you’re my constant I know I never spoke, no, I said way too much And now I ask you, don’t write me off just yet Constantly, constantly I’ve been waiting Constantly wondering what I am waiting for I thought you felt something in late night conversation In these times, you were my constant motivation When you leave tomorrow in the daylight Promise you’ll think of me And when you breathe the air inside your new life Do what you want, but please When you sleep tonight and the next night Don’t count me out of your dreams I’ll be your constant I saw in that first glance, these feelings come to life I never thought they would stay so constant The years have come and gone, and life has slowed us down And like this melody, you’re always running through my head Constantly, constantly I’ll be waiting Hoping and praying I know what I’m in this for I know transition may part us for a short while But you go the distance, and I’ll go the extra mile I'll be your constant I’ll be your constant comfort, yet your constant fear You are a floating thought, and you’re constant, dear I’ll be your constant friend, and your constant help Constantly, I’ll be your constant one You will be miles from home, and you might fall in love I think you already did and I just messed it up But if you choose to forget and grant me one last chance You won’t regret a thing; I’ll be your constant.

from Distance EP, released August 26, 2012 Lyrics written by Benjamin Mariano. Music written by Static Speed. Will Strowe (electric guitar, bass) Benjamin Mariano (drums, lead vocals) Gang vocals by Benjamin Mariano, Will Strowe, Alexander O'Neill, Kevin Rose, and Gabriel Michaloski. engineered by Ken Wildman and Benjamin Mariano. produced by Benjamin Mariano. == And it’s slowly killing us inside We can't run, can't hide, nowhere to confide Somewhere in translation, our judgment was lost We're livin' for pleasure at our own cost The world seems to think we’re out to bring fear I can’t understand why they can’t hear The crying out, the hidden tears Don't they understand that we're... ...caught in our grief, we are raging hearts? (We risk our lives for these violent conflictions) Regrets and pain, they are just the start (Let’s waste away with our embraced addictions) It seems like everyone I see is becoming who I’d hate to be It’s not only us, but all our nation We are a failing generation (Trying to cope without a hope) And you just can’t get it through your head You keep on like this and you'll wind up dead A slow fade, a sure fade, a steady progression An obsession with humoring aggression Your life was already on its way down Now, no belief that it can be fixed somehow No place for help, you have no will No trusting hope because you’re still... ...caught in your grief, you’re a raging heart (You waste your life for these violent conflictions Regrets and pain, they are just the start (You’ll waste away with your embraced addictions) We’re failing... Save us from ourselves.

Consuming Fire 02:53
lyrics

I didn’t do the math and I took the easy path The road-not-taken’s gone, and now I feel the wrath Materials will claim my results won’t end the same I can trade a hole in the root of my soul for temporary fame But all the things I desire, I never seem to acquire When I shift my head to what’s higher You’re all I really require Consuming fire, come in this place The need is dire for Your embrace Your face relays the case; I need Your grace I’m in this state again; between rebirthing and the sin A valley full of valleys, where I’m sure that I’ll fall in Oh, if only I could change and put the target back in range A lost heart’s my bleeding part that stains my skin, a type of mange A brand new birth, an absent leave A turning point, a New Year’s Eve You brought about a planted seed You’re life, You’re love, my only need

Change 04:30
lyrics

I’m gonna start a riot with just my hands and a raging tongue Not gonna let it quiet, this is yet a melody unsung I’ve spent all my time just walking a line, I’m a man with a dream on a leash And we’re so far lost, it seems we forgot To practice what we preach But things are gonna change Yeah, things are gonna change! Not quite a revolution, but more than a wish on a shooting star All our wrongs define our ruins But our pasts don’t define who we really are I wanna see the penetration of the walls separating all of man It seems every generation Falls down with a pitchfork in their hands Take a look at ourselves and admit, we know well We’re not yet who we wanna be ‘Cause we feud and we brawl with ourselves through it all And peace is just another dream But things are gonna change! Yeah, things are gonna change! WE ARE GONNA RISE! WE ARE GONNA STIR! NEVER GONNA FALL BACK THE WAY WE WERE! LOVE WILL BE THE CALL! LOVE WILL BEAT THE RAGE! THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE! ALL THE WORLD WILL SEE! ALL THE WORLD WILL HEAR! WE’RE BREAKING DOWN THE FOUNDATION OF FEAR! LOVE WILL BE THE CALL! LOVE WILL BEAT THE RAGE! THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE! THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE! Things are gonna change...

about

After demoing songs for a good long while, we finally had the opportunity to craft some quality recordings, without a studio, with much thanks to the help of some close friends. This is the very first recording project either of us have been a part of.

While the musical styles vary dramatically from song to song. there is a theme to this small collection of songs. All of them explore distance, whether it be between loved ones, between generations, between guilt and forgiveness, or even between people of different cultures.

We proudly present, the "Distance EP".
