about

“Crown for Nothing” is more of a ‘fight’ song
This is clarity after reading an epic story… after staring at stars for hours and finally seeing movement in the sky that isn’t a plane… The witness sees the motion, but decides to push the feelings down, to keep the story to themselves… We all want to own our memories… if we could copyright them and charge a cover fee for others to share them we would… but instead our payment is in the form of captivating others to watch, to know the same as we do and count their investments through a tracker…. but what are we getting out of this… all the effort to claim your crown to borrow for a moment the title belt until someone bigger, stronger can push you over effortlessly and hold that same limelight for their few moments. Chained to results we are… Sick on desire to be the one… We are caught vomiting it all back up the next day and lapping at our wounds and resurrecting our gods so that we can know where the top is again for us to climb towards… The ship is sinking

lyrics

It’s a bloody, Hand in the car, no body is claiming the deed
It’s all that’s left of the story so far, the pages will clearly read
No one has suffered, least not to name, show me proof and I’ll show you the game
The blood has dried, and the tears never came, I guess our fortune is still the same

I’m driving doorways, we speed in the rain
Two headlights coming, and sex leaves us pain
They call it poison, but tastes just the same
Brings me life and slithers through our veins
I like watching, lay cross your belly,
cuddle like you know what i need
but i’ve been speaking, taking my orders
bleaching my fingernails free

I could cross my legs but you’d be looking
Broken glass and drinks on the floor
I don’t wear this crown for nothing
We could barry the ax but we still want more

It’s a lovely place we’ve made here
Bring all your friends to the grounds
We’re selling lights brighter than heaven
Burn your retina’s out

about

HALCION HALO image

HALCION HALO Tacoma, Washington

Halcion Halo is Hardy Bluesy Grunge band.
We keep going, writing new material, and naturally subjecting ourselves to the struggle pursuit which rubs the frontal lobe of our ego.
Hailing from the South Puget Sound in Washington… we make our bead and bread and come together regularly to ritualistically beat the hell out of our batter. It’s a goblet full of heavy we offer. ... more
