Chaser 04:49
We are still in the moment of doubt The sweet taste will devour you whole There’s nothing quite like this confusion Always craving the loss of control There is so much of nothing to say And easy to think someone’s listening Sometimes wishing we never wake up Knowing the thirst is never changing The devil’s drug is the one we take Followed by the chaser We’re all consumed by the black label To turn the shape-shifter Pick the poison that drinks you in… We must stop seeing what isn’t there A vision cast between the middle A world that’s hidden behind the mask Wearing another endless struggle The devil’s drug is the one we take Followed by the chaser We’re all consumed by the black label To turn the shape-shifter

Waking the radio with noise Stopping for a minute as we hear another tune See myself stretching through the day Finding that lies are sometimes written in the truth And all of them are free To argue and agree request and then decree And that’s a guarantee It’s dangerous to think All’s lost in just a blink We’ll drown it in the drink Washed down a bathroom sink An impossible dream The yelling and the screams The fall of self esteem A whore to the machine So don’t forget my name Or claim it all for fame And that it’s all in vain That’s never been the game Whatever the sound magazine says Makes its way into the wash Viewpoints folded over and over When the ghosts of writing are lost Listening must then become a choice Reading words that binge and purge will never bring you fame Put the record on and let it play Have it run on backwards and you’ll understand the same How do you justify Admit and then deny Withhold and now provide An easier reply I’m thinking of the way To hurry and delay Protect and then betray Much to your dismay I’ve slept away the years Been taken by the sphere Had way too many fears Get lost in all the cheers Before you make a mess Of tranquility and stress Deny and then confess Confirming your success Whatever the sound magazine says Makes its way into the wash Viewpoints folded over and over When the ghosts of writing are lost

In the darkest hours coming ashore Why do the winds battle with the storm? Lay your head down low Let the memories go There’s a stranger sleeping in your bed If only you could put it to rest Keep your words alive Leave a subtle reply Even though the skies return to blue Nothing could ever keep me from you… Someone’s always climbing Inside my frame of mind You’re the only answer Holding the tie that binds It’s like swimming in a sea of black And looking for the only way back Listening for your voice You would come through the noise If tomorrow never comes again We can bury ourselves deep within And our minds are one I’m the divided son Someone’s always climbing Inside my frame of mind You’re the only answer Holding the tie that binds On the long trail of exceptions You’re the answers and the questions And in this world revolving time You’re the one keeping me alive Even though the skies return to blue Nothing could ever keep me from you… Someone’s always climbing Inside my frame of mind You’re the only answer Holding the tie that binds

The frail glass of winter Melting in the folds Cold never made me check the double rose A change in the season Calling to the rains Her taste gave way on the bitter champagne The roses always fall on white And love never takes regret Memories and painted dreams Find the way to remake the day But through strands of brunette I’m still bending the violet I’ve seen her in my dreams Just can’t let it be We’re woven in something and still between I can’t shake this feeling I still need to know Is it my destiny to let her go How am I supposed to be this strong I am only a singer To forget the spirit of it all I will love you forever The roses always fall on white And love never takes regret Memories and painted dreams Find the way to remake the day But through strands of brunette I’m still bending the violet

For creatures free from laws take heed Assume what sex and shape they please The one to split the broken nail A girl more deadly than the male The serpent roaming in the night Full of evil and no contrite A sweet disorder in the dress The deadly scene I must possess The shadows knew their way But now they start to fade… Given the strength to carry on Set to take the remedy further My voice is the power inside Burning moves of the fire dancer What is gathered and what is lost For nothing gained and at what cost Reproach will never mend the young Suppressing words upon my tongue Now you must die I have the claims Set to burn you down in the flames The mind you sent into a trance Will never miss the fire dance Given the strength to carry on Set to take the remedy further My voice is the power inside Burning moves of the fire dancer The stars were gathered and set to view But never should have been given to you The wait for something else to bleed Gave way to someone finally… Given the strength to carry on Set to take the remedy further My voice is the power inside Burning moves of the fire dancer

Cancún 03:55
Why don’t we go to Cancún sometime Cause someone told me it’s beautiful there Would you like to take your time Or simply make up your mind The sun would look great running through your hair When did this dream begin? When did the rest of it end? With sand between my toes, I guess you’ll never know The moments that could have been Why don’t we go to Cancún sometime Where the sand’s so soft and white you sink We could get lost in the day Sipping wine at the café Letting memories melt into your drink When did this dream begin? When did the rest of it end? With sand between my toes, I guess you’ll never know The moments that could have been Why don’t we go to Cancún sometime Crystal clear skies and water for miles Would you kiss me? Would you fall for me? Cause I’ve been waiting for a while… When did this dream begin? When did the rest of it end? With sand between my toes, I guess you’ll never know The moments that could have been

Shades... 00:47

The Cycle 05:12
We were so close to symmetry A progressive serenity The ring that lies, inside your eyes Such is the king of the deceit These multiples of painted glass And the offering made to last Standing corners, and nothing pure The present becoming the past Time is the circle that draws us all But that time ends now… As the light dawns on us all The ones we know are watchful They'll keep the system fixed on Explaining the shades of the cycle Now the memory of autumn leaves Gathering the December trees A bitter wind, that’s always been Recovering the vivid dreams The binding of limitations Are breaking through our sensations I will provide, the words inside And shake our world of the burdens As the light dawns on us all The ones we know are watchful They'll keep the system fixed on Explaining the shades of the cycle We are many, we are one And the cycle is something more This is the only circle To draw different than before… Time is the circle that draws us all But that time ends now… As the light dawns on us all The ones we know are watchful They'll keep the system fixed on Explaining the shades of the cycle

Every story has two sides The one we take is no different And somewhere in the middle Lies a truth unfolding lucent So to whom do we turn? There are whispers never written There are actions never seen There are questions never answered In the darkness of the scene Fear leads us here We find our lives caught in a shell Now time is lost Somewhere between trust and ourselves There is silence never broken There are moments in between This is something out of nothing The trust only found in dreams Fear leads us here We find our lives caught in a shell Now time is lost Somewhere between trust and ourselves Now we can feed into the disguise Run our hands softly down their thighs What began with softly touching lips Is the final movement between their hips Lies must be broken to end the spell Break mine and all is well This curse you have placed upon us all Tears deep into the flaw This picture we keep inside our heads Worthy to be misled Deceit and deception perfected In this world of hatred Fear leads us here We find our lives caught in a shell Now time is lost Somewhere between trust and ourselves
10.
I see the shape of whatever was made And reason shows us of what we became These are the memories one must recall When building stones into the strongest wall The lesser man will make his way apart While the greater one is the work of art We all admire the laughter and fame The definite gravity of the name There are reflections of him While they fight for the throne They’ll never have the presence For the man made of stone The steady hand that became the teacher A student leaning in on the keeper We have seen the master bending our thoughts But nothing close to the feelings he taught They will swell their prospects and show their pride But the ones not like him are those denied The war that our world presents to us all Gave the man of stone, all things great and small There are reflections of him While they fight for the throne They’ll never have the presence For the man made of stone All the new world decisions Still the choices never change In keeping everyone safe The thoughts must be rearranged If we seek so shall we find Strength that molds one man from two Lessons given, lessons learned Everything is owed to you There are reflections of him While they fight for the throne They’ll never have the presence For the man made of stone

about

Suspyre's eponymous fourth album further delves the listener into new horizons of music. Always changing in style and always interesting, this record combines the heaviness of metal, the groove of funk, and the melodies of pop with the intellect of prog. With instrumentation spanning from traditional two-guitar textures to sporadic saxophone squeals, this album has an endless tonal palette of color. Classical piano sections mellows it down, while down-tuned guitars and double bass gives the music energy. One hour of music, endless layers of ideas.

We need your support in order to continue, so please buy our music if you like it. Thank you!
