This Is Ours 04:04
YOU BASE YOUR TRUST AROUND LIES THAT'S WHY YOU'LL NEVER WIN YOU'LL NEVER WIN WE'VE SET OUR GOALS TOO HIGH BUT THAT'S JUST WHO WE ARE CALLING ON US JUST TO KICK US DOWN AS IF WE HAVEN'T EVER SEEN YOU AROUND HERE DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU'D GET THAT FAR? WE'D NEVER LET YOU, THAT'S JUST WHO WE ARE WE WON'T BE KEPT ALONE IN THE DARK YOU USED OUR TRUST AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OUR TIME WE TURNED AROUND AND WALKED AWAY WITH OUR PRIDE

YOU LIKE MY HANDS DOWN LOW, REAL LOW YOU LIKE HOW I'M SO SMOOTH THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW OUR BODIES MOVING POSITIONS I'VE GOT YOU THINKING YOU'RE MISSING BUT I'M JUST TURNING ON MY FLOW, SO SHE SAYS TO ME DON'T STOP I'VE GOT HER FEELING SO GOOD WHEN SHE'S ON TOP SHE'S NEVER WASTING TIME SHE'S GOT ME SO INCLINED TO PRESS HER SHHH UP AGAINST MINE I START TO MOVE REAL CLOSE IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW I'M HERE SO YOU GIVE ME A SHOW "KIERAN, THIS PARTY'S AT ITS BEST. LET'S BOUNCE" "DUDE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO BAG THE GIRL, LET'S JUST CHILL!" "FUCK THAT."

I THOUGHT I FELT YOUR HEART PULSING THROUGH ME BUT I WAS WRONG AGAIN, SHE! HIT THE LIGHTS, HIT THE LIGHTS AND MOVED ME FROM MY ORIGINAL PLAN
5.
YOU SAID YOU WON'T LEAVE ME SO WHY DO I FIND MYSELF ALL ALONE? WE KNEW THIS WASN'T EASY SO STOP CRYING, AND START FIGHTING! DON'T YOU THINK I'M TRYING? I JUST THOUGHT NO MATTER WHAT I'D HAVE A HOME I GUESS THAT YOU WERE LYING DON'T NEGLECT ME, JUST ACCEPT ME
6.
NIGHT LIGHT BLUE EYES ON MY GIRL I'LL KEEP HER ALWAYS HER EYES THEY IMITATE THE WORLD AND IT'S STARING AT ME
7.
THE EARTH, IT'S COLD AND DEAD I FEEL IT IN MY HEAD YOU DON'T BELONG I'M FEELING SO ALONE AND NOW YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PEOPLE I USED TO LOVE AND ADORE? I'M ALL ALONE AND NOBODY IS WALKING THROUGH MY DOOR I KNOW IT'S STRANGE THE EARTH IS A COLD AND DEAD PLACE
8.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE? DO YOU JUST SCALE THE WALLS OR LEARN TO FLY? I'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE IT'S BECOMING OH SO CLEAR

about

Mantra Reading, Pennsylvania

This is our MANTRA. A statement that is frequently repeated as a representation of our affection for music that appeals to our own lives. We're a experimental pop group from the most economically-ravished city in the country, Reading, Pennsylvania.
