my words. bounce back from the dash. get washed out by the sun. and float away. i didn't speak in the end. when i had the chance. maybe i knew you knew. i left it up to you. i drift through the day. i closed my eyes. we still bleed while. we cauterize. do we ride this out. sleep through another night? or is it time. to change the tide? here we both sit. parallel in the dark. your face in a light. you hold at night. faint voices drone on. but i need you now. this we're calling intimate. this is over isn't it? i drift through the day. i closed my eyes. we still bleed while. we cauterize. do we ride this out. sleep through another night? or is it time. to change the tide?

here we go again. you've seen it through. haven't you? go on. ride out the drama. or take cover. if it's wrong. you have to know. warmth or shelter? i don't need all the science. which way have you gone? in a cold house with no surprises. live this again. i'm still here in the middle. now that time has gone. will you look back at all the pieces? i see the life you have. through the glass. i must ask. have you ever noticed? we only show better moments. and i crave. the lovely pain

Clarity 04:49
i swear. we had another day. but all our time. got swallowed up. i can't seem to maintain. my mouth is full of dirt. it's getting hard to speak. i wish that i could hear you. buried in the heap. the breath between my thoughts. the still between the beats. the noise is strangling. we needed the space for clarity. weightless between the steps. the now and not the next. static is deafening. we needed the space for clarity. they say. take care of yourself. but do it on your own time. because i need your help. i'm about to break. responses overdue. tangled in the wire. a message in review. the breath between my thoughts. the still between the beats. the noise is strangling. we needed the space for clarity. weightless between the steps. the now and not the next. static is deafening. we needed the space for clarity

Rivener 04:38
you said you were tired of “same” was i different? will you say my name? you don't have to stay here. but you're welcome. am i the one to fall? you decide if we heal. did i. help you pass through the time? did i? you said you needed escape. did you get it? forget your pain? even when you are here. there's a distance. i'm not the same. did i. help you pass through the time? did i. help you cope with the distance? and i. lay by your side at your worst. give when it's right again. give me a sign again. i'm here. you're sorry. through the night. i'm hanging on dear. give when it's right again. give me a sign again. and hold onto the ground. give when it's right again. give me a sign again. and hold onto the ground

if i don't try just one more time. all these years have been a waste of time. make it true like it's only you. faking love is so uncool. sing a happy song. don't make it long. i like it better when it has no meaning. sing a happy song. sing it again. i like it better when it keeps repeating. i know i know i think they like it. ignore the signs those blinding lights. all those screams you held inside. pick your fight don't sound so trite. your heart and mind are out of line. sing a happy song. don't make it long. i like it better when. it has no meaning. sing a happy song. sing it again. i like it better when. it keeps repeating. i know i know i think they like it. i wanted to be loved by you. i thought that you would want the truth. but i don't care i'm in repair. maybe that is what we share. sing a happy song. don't make it long. i like it better when it has no meaning. sing a happy song. sing it again. i like it better when it keeps repeating. i know i know i think they like it

you came in the springtime. and i. let go of the fear. to change my life. we climbed up the branches. to the sky. sang under the sun. ran through the halls. under a first hello. there lies a last goodbye. although we have to go. i'm glad we had the time. under a break of dawn. there lies a long goodnight. although we have to go. i'm still glad we had the time. we walk into summer. and fall. not knowing the pain. of growing tall. the winter will hush me. and all. let this be a gift. i know it now. under a first hello. there lies a last goodbye. although we have to go. i'm glad we had the time. under a break of dawn. there lies a long goodnight. although we have to go. i'm glad we had the time. come what may. here i will be till we come undone. come what may. here i will be till we come undone. under a first hello. there lies a last goodbye. although we have to go. i'm glad we had the time. under a break of dawn. there lies a long goodnight. although we have to go. i'm glad we had the time

about

All Platforms: orcd.co/dayburn-hollow2

Hollow Sounds, Part II is Out Now. This Upstate NY duo delivers all the crushing elements that emo, post-rock and post-hardcore music have to offer. You'll find an inescapable wall of emotion and poetic, relatable lyrics pouring forth from each track on DAYBURN's stunning split-album debut. So much power for one release that we had to split the impact info two separate 6 song parts. Make no mistake, these boys are playing for keeps.
