Wind and Rain

Wind and Rain - Set sail in a steady breeze; the world complete for all I knew. Godspeed was at my side; the earth retreats in a hazy blue. I struck west and held that line; a field of brine and embers meet. The first time I forgot to dream, I cast down my eyes and beheld the sea. I don't want to know how the story ends. Let me go back to ignorance. One simple life is all you get; so let me go back there. I fought the wind and rain to get that feeling back again. Now it's lost, but not in vain: to feel world complete again. Split mast and mended sail, the storied swell blacks out the night. When all is pale with certainty, you mustn't fail but begin to fight. I don't want to know how the story ends. Let me go back to innocence. One simple life is all you get. You cannot go back there.

Tug of War

Tug of War - Like all whom have dreamed before, we were young and young no more, pulled apart by a tug-of-war, pulled apart by a tug-of-war. Sunny days, stay up late, running around the yard. Hide and seek, grass is green, tomorrow seems so far. Wait for the dark, lightning bugs, tomorrow seems so far. Tomorrow seems so far. Tomorrow, so far, so far. Won't this day, won't this day last forever.

To Be Born

To Be Born - In the beginning, there was nothing; then He made Adam out of nothing. Then He made Eve, and soon they fell. So little heaven before hell. Since then we've been running around in circles, running around in circles. What does it feel like to be born? Time knows nothing, but Knowledge holds, just like the apple you chose. Running around in circles, running around in circles. What does it feel like to be born? What does it feel like? What does if feel like? What does it feel like to be born? No one showed me, but still I see: Love like an arrow struck me. No one taught me, but still I know: what once was fallen is home. Running around in circles, running around in circles. What does it feel like to be born? What does it feel like? What does if feel like? What does it feel like to be born? What does it feel like? What does if feel like? What does it feel like to be born?

Big Susie

Big Susie - Wake up. Wake up. Take off your makeup. Your mind is spent; your heart is on rent, and I have lent you all my pity. So suck it up. Suck it up. And if you find your eyes are not so blind, don't keep them closed forever. You're losing, losing all your, all your hard earned friends. Always second best, and you're obsessed. Your life's a mess, and all for this, and I know. I know. And if you find your mind is tired of lies, cut the distraction of this time. So you've searched for the sign; you can't even see outside the lines. You've fell from the vine one too many times. The time has come to live your life; to forfeit mine. It's time to die.

Ignorance

Ignorance - I am a master of ignorance. I am a purveyor of blame. I'm a betrayer of cognizance, and I can never explain. I will open up your eyes. Will you see through my disguise? In the end you will decide. No excuses for my lies. You are the apogee of all wisdom; You are the deepest well. You've shown your mercy and ardency at me and in my state I fell. I will carry you my love. I'm a failure as a god. Follow me you will become. I feel like I'm going home.

The Astronaut

The Astronaut - A static picture in my mind of what I should and should not be. Rock 'n roll makes one so kind that you can just walk all over me. My mind is in a cage and I just behave; I would shout for days if I had to explain. I don't know what clothes to wear, and how I should comb and part my hair. Who am I? Who am I? I am an astronaut; I'm merely just a visitor. I am a soldier fighting bravely. I am a gadfly; I am a grand inquisitor. I am a baby. Restless while I'm living; selfish while I'm giving. I am here. I am here.

The Manifolds Mount Vernon, Ohio
The Manifolds are a collection of conceptual albums created by the Lauth family, musicians amateur but authentic, of average coolness. Each album of the Manifolds aims to be diverse in sound but cohesive in theme and character - a complete thought and not an album of disconnected songs. The Lauth family lives, works, and pays taxes in Mount Vernon, Ohio ... more

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP.
