Infrared 03:25
Two thousand miles away But I still think about her almost every day All those nights we shared Now that I'm not there I just wanna run my hand through your hair All those nights we shared Now that I'm not there I just wanna run my hand through your hair Now that I’m not there We stood there your in kitchen late at night Talking bout the world Talking bout the rest of both of our lives And how they intertwine All those nights we shared Now that I'm not there I just wanna run my hand through your hair Now that I’m not there Two thousand miles away But I still think about her almost every day All those nights we shared Now that I'm not there I just wanna run my hand through your hair Two thousand miles away

Waiting Room 03:40
This is the world that you’ve been given This is the world you’ll learn to know It is the soil where you will toil and plant your roots n’ learn to grow All of the things that I can give you All of the things you’ll go without Let it be wood you use to fuel the fire and sing about Nobody knows where you’ll go, when you’ll be home But I’m gonna meet you there I can’t wait to meet you there What if the wind is cold and biting, Or if the dust gets in your eyes? Wipe off your tears and let the wind fill up your wings and you will rise When the night gets dark around you, All you can do is light a flame. Just strike a match and know it will become the light that you reclaim

She says, “Wake up, it’s no use pretending” I’ll keep stealing, breathing her Birds are leaving over autumn’s ending One of us will die inside these arms Eyes wide open, naked as we came One will spread our ashes round the yard She says, "If I leave before you, darling Don't you waste me in the ground" I lay smiling like our sleeping children One of us will die inside these arms Eyes wide open, naked as we came One will spread our ashes around the yard

Heartstrong 04:22
I must admit that I am feelin’ gravitational Up and down the back and forth, I feel the push and pull You could say that I believe in electricity Cause the thought of you is what I think is shocking me I know it's been done, but I’m fallin’ towards her And I know it's been sung, but I’m fallin’ towards her again It's been shown I have a tendency for writing love songs Cause the way I fall in love it seems I might be heartstrong When you’re standin’ there I feel as if we’re pulling closer I feel the shock, the pulse in every single verse I wrote her I know it’s been done, But I’m fallin’ towards her. And I know it's been sung, But I’m fallin’ towards her again Can you feel it comin on It’s comin, it's comin We’re feelin gravitational We’re fallin’, We’re fallin’ I feel the lyrics of her song And I can’t help but sing along Cause I know it’s been done, But I’m fallin’ towards her. And I know i know it's been sung, But I’m fallin’ towards her again

Lancaster 03:25
Late that night as you held my hand And you looked me in the face Oh your eyes they shined like the winter sun We stayed that way for days So hold your head up high Reach up tall towards the sky and sing Cause I know you’ve fallen down But your eyes are more than brown to me You placed your hands against my beating heart And felt more than my skin I like the way you make me fall apart And put me back again So hold your head up high Reach up tall towards the sky and sing Cause I know you’ve fallen down But your eyes are more than brown to me Cause I know I’ve fallen hard But when I look up to the stars See the sky come fallin’, fallin’ down to me You said yourself you didn’t know How long it’d take before we blow But man, explosions are more beautiful to see Explosions Cause I know I’ve fallen hard But when I look up to the stars See the sky come fallin’, fallin’ down to me You said yourself you didn’t know How long it’d take before we blow But man, explosions are more beautiful to see Explosions

Evergreen 02:56
What I found among the brambles It was not what I had in mind But what I did find was the sweet scent of pine Didn’t know that I would miss it Beautiful, reminiscent of that time And the sweet scent of pine When I fell down It’s where I want to be When I'm falling down It’s where it’s evergreen What I found among the brambles It was not what I had in mind But what I did find was the sweet scent of pine Didn’t know that I would miss it Beautiful, reminiscent of that time And the sweet scent of pine When I fell down It’s where I want to be When I'm falling down It’s where it’s evergreen

Toxic 03:11
When it all falls down would you come to me? Cause I would come to you And if the sky is dark and the leaves aren’t green What are you gonna do I’m intoxicated You intoxicate me Intoxicate me When all the lights go out, would you think of me? I’ll always think of you And if the car breaks down, would you walk to me? Cause I would walk to new york Through New York City And across the country You intoxicate me And if it comes to that, would you find me? Cause I I would run to be by you And if the sky is dark and the rain is falling down in droves Well it shows the kind of person that I’d be I’d want you there beside me You are the bottle, you are the wine you are the whisky You’re the light What happens when, as writes the pen We come to what we call the end Decisions made and choices fade Am I a bridge you’ll choose to mend? What did you learn, forget to burn What happens next? It’s running thin Were you coming? Even looking? Did I meet you once again?

Let the Tide 03:33
The winds have blown the stars away The lessons learned in yesterdays I still remember all her words And how they fly around my head like hummingbirds Won’t you stand with me beside the sea and feel the sand below our feet Let the tide the gentle brine that's pulling at the weight beneath Erase the seam that came between Oh won’t you stand with me The things we didn’t have to say The lessons learned in yesterdays Held and cherished memories of her And how they fly around my head like hummingbirds Won’t you stand with me beside the sea and feel the sand below our feet Let the tide the gentle brine that's pulling at the weight beneath Erase the seam that came between Oh won’t you stand with me
9.
Without Her 03:40
Oh her strawberry hair flows down past her eyes And the way that she looks at me the way that she smiles It makes every dark corner makes every dark alley A little bit brighter and a little bit warmer No I won’t go Oh her strawberry hair flows down past her eyes And the way that she looks at me the way that she smiles It makes every dark corner makes every dark alley A little bit brighter and a little bit warmer No I won’t go Don’t you think about moving along Without her Don’t you think about writing your songs Without her The rust that gathers the dusk that fades The trust that mattered the rest that stayed

3:00 AM 03:20
I have looked further down the road Through all the bends, through I don’t know Come what may and what came before I deserve an explanation You would think that I could ignore How it aches when you’re not home I wish that you would kiss me on my cheek When I’m awake, when I can’t sleep I miss you here, you here with me Are you afraid? Do you feel misuse? Do you think that our threads are loose? Oh, the weight that you try and hold It comes with the expectation That the world, it pushes and pulls But today, you’re on your own I miss the way your fingers trace my skin When you’re away, you pull me in I miss you here, you here with me You have seen all that we can be Is it enough, is it what we need? Cause the way that we fell in love It came with the realization That the love might not be enough And we’d find the hearth grew cold I know that even though this weighs on me It tends to vanish in my sleep I miss you, dear, you here with You’re drawing near I can feel it Now that you’re here, I can finally sleep
11.
There’s an angel holding on to my guitar And when I fall down I can grab it and I can fly But you ask me just how much she’s been around It isn’t much now All the colors that you see, will they bring her back to me? Would you wish upon a star just to find out who you are? All the colors that you see Will they bring her back to me When she lifts me high above the city sound It’s like I’m breathing for the first time in a while But you ask me just how much she’s been around It isn’t much now All the colors that you see, will they bring her back to me? Would you wish upon a star just to find out who you are? All the colors that you see Will they bring her back to me --------------------------------------------------- I can’t Do this anymore I can’t Breathe Without you

Vivid 05:12
Careful, the floorboards creak Tender hand remembering And all around the voices said the sounds we heard were bad But they were wrong cause to learn to love you need to learn to fall But when the sails let out And the wind is picking up Cause when you’re next to me I can hardly sleep Cause you’re the flowers on my window sill And when you’re next to me you’re standing still And I can feel the ground beneath Moving up it’s coming up towards me And all around the voices said the sounds we heard were bad But they were wrong cause to learn to love you need to learn to fall But when the sails let out And the wind is picking up Cause when you’re next to me I can hardly sleep Cause you’re the flowers on my window sill And when you’re next to me you’re standing still I can feel the ground beneath my feet begin to creak Look around you, oh can’t you see what’s happening All around the thunder and the wonder underneath Look around you, oh can’t you see what’s happening Cause you’re the flowers on my window sill And when you’re next to me you’re standing still Woah

Inksong 04:50
Though the ink may fade to grey all the words will stay the same Through the dusk and through the day it’ll be there Oh I will say and say again that your love is like the pen How you wrote upon my skin and even deeper Dark black is a color we all know It’s the anger it’s the fear it’s the shade that we don’t show That mask is another’s to behold My reliance on a pencil to escape begins to fold I will show My untold By my own Soul Though the ink may fade to grey all the words will stay the same Through the dusk and through the day it’ll be there Oh I will say and say again that your love is like the pen How you wrote upon my skin and even deeper Think back to a day you might forget Graduation from a pencil to a pen the day we met Thin black but still bleeding through the page Turn it over, see the canvas, and how sweetly it has stained I will show My untold By my own Soul I write in pen to show The permanence I know It took its time but lo The ink will show the ink will show

We are so proud of what we've put together and are beyond excited to share it with all of you. We sincerely hope you enjoy listening to Chroma as much as we enjoyed making it <3
