Nova 03:17
I cannot define the words goodness and crime When I'm standing before you Give me a sign, or give me more time This problem is nothing new I want to please you It's all I want to do I want to show you That I can start over new These ups and downs are spinning me around And I can't seem to see clear Am I the fox that's chased by the hound? Or is my foe in the mirror? I want to give you what you deserve I'm tired of taking, now let me serve I'm trying my best now because

Symphony Lifespan (free) 05:06
The sky is blue I know that it's true The grass is green And these are the things that I've seen This is art, not chance A divine romance The birds sing and chime Woodpecker keeps the time And all of nature plays a song We've been composed all along This is love, not math We have been given a path We've lost all control And nature has taken its toll As harmony bleeds to dissonance But there still is a plan In this symphony lifespan And the world still has time to dance

There I was, sitting in the shade Beneath a tree, far from my home And I saw troubles seem to fade I looked at the sun and it shone, it shone All this time I thought I was alone But you are there right by my side And I forgot, going through all of this I’ll never be alone, I'll never be alone I'll never be alone, never be alone I woke up from the longest dream After sleeping in for what seems like years and years I said everything but what I meant And I’ll live in the now and here, I'm here This was peace of my mind This rest I find This is peace of my mind This rest I find

Whisper 03:42
The night is still when I'm alone All my thoughts echo against the walls of my mind My thesis is silence I cannot speak anymore I hear your voice When I'm alone I hear you whisper softly to me To come back home Phantoms all around And in the cracks of my mind Will you send an angel? And will I hear its call? To come back home To come back home "Won't you come back home?"

Invade Me 03:37
Hello you, where have you gone to? You used to be right by my side When I was younger it was easy to see you But the older I get the more you hide But I know you're here with me 'Cause you're present in all that I see I'll run into your open arms If you invade me again The birds and the trees in the forest They all scream your name The insects and leaves are the poorest But they love you just the same Hello you, where have you gone to? Now a reflection in the mirror And then we'll see face to face We'll know your love so much clearer When we're in that brand new space

Convince Me 03:24
You are a mystery So convince me To search myself For the answers To questions I need to ask myself I just want know Know which way to go I just want to learn Learn which direction to turn I am confused And I'm let down I am lost and need to be found I don't understand Understand myself So why do I even try To see behind your eyes? I want to know what it's like on the other side I want to know what it's like to really be alive I am convinced (I am confused) I am convinced (I'm let down) I am convinced that

I didn't think a few words could shake all the walls I've built I've built them tall, my protective walls, to hide me from guilt I stay inside as a painful tide comes crashing from below On these days that I'm far from you time starts moving slow You alone can point a finger Why did a say what I said? 'Cause you alone can lay the blame And all of my defenses are red A battle rages between me and the rest Of the people outside I feel like it's a test Is it my fault that I try to blame someone else? We won't know until the one guilty tells I blamed you but it was me all along I blamed you but it was me all along

Monotony 02:16
Time is up! Time is up! Day and night, then dark then light All my world is black and white All my hopes and dreams are now fading from my sight Sun rise and falls And then returns to the sky I still recall the day that I opened my eyes Time stops and turns Time stops and turns Monotony! Monotony!
9.
I'm the last one to sleep and the first one to wake With the promise I didn't keep With my head on the bed and my eyes shut tight I reflect upon what I said Am I alone? It seems that the others have fallen asleep Am I alone? The waking day still has promises to keep Thoughts haunt my days but I can't shut my eyes Out of fear of the nighttime spies Even with a disguise I can't run from these lies When the sun returns to the sky If I could get this off my chest I could get some rest Let my regrets fade away With the dusk Am I alone? It seems that the others have fallen asleep Lead me back home The rising sun still has chapters left to write

Newness 04:30
I am so comfortable with the temporary Because the infinite is indefinite What I have is so easy to come by But what I need is priceless and scarce Fill me with newness Because what I have has expired It's time that I confessed Maybe then I can be inspired Maybe I can be inspired I'm loved by how much material I have But really it's not mine at all Market has placed a label on me I'm branded by the things that I've been sold You alone fill me up and you give me all that I need You raise me up so I can stand, I can stand, I can Break these chains, you break these chains Tying me down to the hurt and the shame Break these chains, you break these chains They're tying me down to the hurt and the shame

Requisite 03:07
I had a dream That I could be alone But now I'm not too sure That I can fly on my own And I still need you here And I still have some fears Of ending up here The sun and the moon Never change as I grow They put me back in place I am small, this I know Without truth I'm nothing Without you I'm lost Without truth I'm nothing And without you I'm lost The son shows me the way to shine

about

After independently releasing three records, maintaining relationships with listeners, and sharing the stage with bands such as Abandon Kansas, Showbread, and The Wedding, Second Story Feedback is preparing to release their fourth work, Symphony Lifespan. This collection of songs truly encompasses the band's lifespan and were all written over the last four years. Although some songs may be older than others, this full-length album flows together as the band explores the ideas of beauty, pain, and the nature of humanity. Lead singer and songwriter, Paul Demer states that "the album is based around the idea that existence is a song and we are the notes…. The question is: in your symphony lifespan will you be harmony or dissonance?” Demer is backed up by the fraternally synchronized rhythm section of Josh and Ben Jessup. Symphony Lifespan's unique instrumentation breaks down genre barriers as electronic and acoustic instruments harmonize. The record features standard power trio, three part harmonies, trumpets, string quartet, and various rhythmic and melodic samples. Fans of melodic and thoughtful rock music will enjoy this unique yet relatable release.
