lyrics

you carved a cross
in my arm
on the day i was born

now, are you with us?
or against us?
the choice is yours
just make the right move.

it's heaven or hell
it's black or it's white
right or wrong.

is there really only one way?
I want to live in the grey areas.

I'm asleep and awake
I'm real while I'm fake.
and I like it that way.

the thorns on his head
became the religion that they made,
and now it's the blood that's in my eyes,
and running down my face.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
