Name: 13 Hours at a Time
Duration: P00H03M40S
Description: Decided I needed to up my pace, so I wrote this last night as a little acoustic tune. Addded tons of stuff to it today, and now it sounds a lot like an old school emo song with it's Get Up Kids vibe and it's Pinkerton breakdown. I'm using bongos and a children's snare drum (Thanks, Ethan) for percussion here, and I think they're serving me well.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Sit on a bench outside the station
And I never wanna go
To feel your brain wave inflammation
Is like a dream of vertigo

Pre-Chorus:
I never wanted you to say this
I never wanted you to leave
I never wanted you to
Say those things to me

Chorus:
For 13 hours at a time
Not near enough to make you mine
For 13 hours at a time
I wish you'd stay my valentine

Verse 2:
My memory fades in blacks and blues
My secrets drip onto the floor
I somehow still remember you
And I'd never lock that door

Chorus:
For 13 hours at a time
Not near enough to make you mine
For 13 hours at a time
I wish you'd stay my valentine

Bridge:
I look up at the sky
Familiar voices call
I see the satellite
Goodbye, I love you all

Lonely Enclave
by Lonely Enclave

Our first album is a raw piece of garage (er, basement) rock, heavily inspired by Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Weezer. It's rough, but it's free, and in my biased opinion, worth a listen. John Vermeersch
