Cosmocillate Heard about these guys from 'Chicago Music Exchange' and their youtube channel dedicated to reviews and showcase of guitars, effects and drums - Shelby I believe was reviewing some of the videos and i stumbled upon his band through the link provided. I digress. Bold and oozing with "indie" flare I am jamming to this real quick, definitely check these guys out. Favorite track: If I Were You.

Burden 04:50
Burden Put the snow in a jar When you’re young nothing goes to waste Put your faith in the state When your lungs fill with blood you run Touch your body in a dream ignored Make me down a pallet on your floor, a warm bed right on your floor Won’t be a burden (a warm bed right on your floor) Won’t be a burden (a warm bed right on your floor) Won’t be a burden (a warm bed) Put the gold in the ground When you’re young nothing goes to waste Put your faith in the state When your lungs fill with blood you run Touch your body in a dream ignored Make me down a pallet on your floor, a warm bed right on your floor Won’t be a burden (a warm bed right on your floor) Won’t be a burden (a warm bed right on your floor) Won’t be a burden (a warm bed right on your floor) Won’t be a burden…

If I Were You If I were you I’d watch my mouth (If I were you I’d watch my mouth) I live in a room in my father’s house I’m still just a kid in my father’s house If I were real I’d quit my job Do real men up and quit their jobs? I’m only a breath in my mother’s lungs My friend, he’s pissed, cause I broke my tongue No one ever really talks about it Everyone just kind of walks around it If I were you I’d watch my mouth (If I were you I’d watch my mouth) I live in a room in my father’s house I’m still just a kid in my father’s house No one ever really talks about it Everyone just kind of walks around it My generation is fighting for no-one Left with the loss from a laugh of a decade When will you see? When will you see? When will you see where I’m coming from? All that we need is to know that we bleed We are but a small family and have not the blood to waste No one ever really talks about it Everyone just kind of walks around it My generation is fighting for nothing Left with the loss from a laugh of a decade

Come Break My Heart Come break my heart, break my heart again Come break my heart, break my heart again I really hope you weren’t serious I hope you’re full of shit When you told me not to lovel you anymore Please open up, open up to me I hate that you’ve become a memory I really hope you weren’t honest I hope you’re full of lies When you told me not to love you anymore I went to bed a drunken swirl Toss and turn, I sweat and twirl Cause I’m so tired of losing girls to California Does the sun ever wish it was in the dark? Come break my heart, break my heart again Let you break my heart, let you break my heart again I really hope you weren’t serious I hope you’re full of shit When you told me not to love you anymore I met new friends a Godly shove So much girls, eight starts above But I could swear I was in love in Louisiana Where the trumpets blow romantic everywhere And the tubas blow romantic everywhere And the trombones blow romantic everywhere I went to bed a drunken swirl Toss and turn, I sweat and twirl Cause I’m so tired of losing girls to California And I could swear I was in love in Louisiana

Company Car 04:41
Company Car Would you wanna be my lover and choke on my faults? I could re-broaden the halls of the spring, if I was a younger man We were drunk and by the window, wasting our time I could re-solder my heart to this town, if I was a younger man Are you waiting on the company car? Pick you up from the fight at the bar? Are you counting on the company’s dime? Pardon you from the scene of the crime? One thing is I’m honest as hell Would you marry me and end this? Buy me the house on the corner I could re-solder my heart to that life, if I was a younger man Are you waiting on the company car? Pick you up from the fight at the bar? Are you counting on the company’s dime? Pardon you from the scene of the crime? One thing is I’m honest as hell

Ladders 04:31
Ladders All around All of my friends come from broken ground Make it shine Silvery Sphinx on the sides of skies Wouldn’t die? Wouldn’t you hang from the sides of skies? Let me go There’s dirt on the ground here, the silver light Have you been moving up slowly? Have you been moving up slowly? Climbing up ladders Keep climbing up lost All around All of my friends come from broken ground Broken down Tell me you’d die in the silver light Have you been moving up slowly? Have you been moving up slowly? Climbing up ladders Keep climbing up lost Lost (Have you been moving up slowly, moving up slowly?) Lost (Have you been moving up slowly, moving up slowly?) 
You gotta take what’s yours You gotta take what’s yours You gotta take what’s yours You gotta take what’s yours Have you been moving up slowly? Moving up slowly…
