The Family Crest - "Howl"

From the album ‘Beneath The Brine’ (2014) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/fam-crest

State your name
State your case
'Cause the lines were drawn
Do you love me babe?

Now you say,
Lover stay
Warm these bones my dear
Light my heart afire!

I know you never mean to say
All of the awful things you say
But oh God, the reason is yours
Oh God, the reason was yours
You smile

I howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
Howl to the moon, to the stars
When the weight of the world
Is just too much for you

Now I wait
As love and fate
Echo from your lungs
Do you want me babe?

Here you state
That a storm is waiting dear
Turn the lights down low
‘Cause one of us is surely gone

I know you never meant to stay
I know love we weren't meant to be
I know you never meant to go break my heart of gold
But oh God, the reason is yours
Oh God, the reasons are yours tonight
We're smiling

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
‘Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
When it's just too much for you

I'm gonna kiss, gonna kiss, gonna kiss your lips
I'm gonna make sure dear that my love sticks
I'm gonna shake, gonna shake, gonna shake your legs
I'm gonna make make make make make you beg

I'm gonna make sure that your heart is true
I'm gonna say here, "Darling, I love you!"
I'm gonna make sure that you love me too
Do you love me dear? Do you love me here?

I'm gonna break break break break you dear
I'm gonna shake shake up all your fears
I'm gonna take take you down my dear
Do you love me dear? Do you love me dear?

I'm gonna make make you love me dear
I'm gonna break break you down my dear
Tonight I'll smile

You’ll howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
'Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you

Forever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
'Cause it's just too much for you

The brainchild of frontman Liam McCormick, The Family Crest began as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder/bassist John Seeterlin. “We always liked making music with people—getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a seven-piece core band emerged, though the Crest boasts over 400 “Extended Family” members.
