Imperative Reaction

[helen99]

Listening to a new CD - Imperative Reaction's "As We Fall".

And listening...

And listening...




The rest of their music isn't too shabby either if your tastes run toward the very danceable and dark...


"Further to fall (Imperative Reaction)

So mediocrity isn't enough
but your hypocrisy
Is sucking it up
What you claimed to be
Is conflicting with reality
So above it all
How does it feel
Watching them fall while you conceal
the reasons you gone so far

Keep pulling down
because this won't last forever
as they hit the ground
just know that you will never
reach the heights you've failed to climb
though you tried to be them all
you have failed to realize
the louder your words
the further you will fall

Your repetition
A permanent state
But you're masking your jealousy
As if it were hate
What you try to be
Is conflicting with reality
So above it all
How does it feel?

Watching them fall while you conceal
The reasons you've gone so far"

=================================================
"Only in my mind (Imperative Reaction)

You know it's true
And though I tried to hide it
It shows in you

I know it's true
And though you still deny it
I see right through
All you won't admit

What if you're the reason
I can't fall far enough to find
The lies that I depend on exist
Only in my mind

I know like you
Though we still deny it,
It shows in you

You know it's true
And though I tried to fight it
I can't see through
All I won't accept

What if you're the reason
I can't fall far enough to find
The lies that I depend on exist
Only in my mind"



Oh, and...

"Dissolve (Imperative Reaction)

I wish you could know
I wish you could see
I wish I could show you
What it was to be
Alive before we knew
The world that you now see
As we endure what is to come
Please know I'm sorry
For all that we have done

Time won't wait as we dissolve
Giving in to a fate that won't absolve
The lies we told ourselves
To minimize the pain
Our denial of the truth
Leaves us with the blame

I wanted so much more
I wanted everything...
Now what can we show for
All we used to be
We are too far from the shore
Drowning in debris
As we endure what is to come
Please know I'm sorry
For all that we have done."
