We’ve been hard at work on new music, but we found time to film this music video for Lyin’ Awake from our 1896 album! It’s been three long years, but we finally have a music video for this song, as promised. Thank you for hanging in there fans! The pandemic delayed a bunch of stuff for us and moving onto new projects made sense at the time. We’ve got more promised 1896 music videos on the way though…and of course new music too...stay turned!

Oh...Hey...Yeah....

Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away

Ooo...Ooo...Oh...Yeah

My eyes don’t glow like they did before
Reflecting the light of day, hey!
Ravelling softly while you speak in time
But I’m still so far away

Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away

Ground slips away while the earth decays
Tired of breakin’ day, hey
Turnin’ around at the speed of sound
But I’m still so far away

Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away

Day after day I dissipate away
It seems to me okay is the only word I say today
Lies that grind right through your hollow mind
To find that time itself has always been on your side
Rewind pass reverse, same lines that you rehearse
Same lies when you've been hurt, tryin’ to swallow your worth
Matter of mind, matter fact stay on your grind
And come back to recognize in a lucid state of mind

Time disagrees with the roots and trees
Dyin’ to glimpse the day, hey!
I’ve tasted gravel and watched it unwind
But I’m still so far away, okay!

Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away
They left me!

Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away

(Round)
Lyin’ awake like I’ve been before
But I’m miles away I can’t see straight no more
Right in your space I just walked through your door
But I’m still so far away
But I’m still so far away
But I’m still so far away
