Reason of my failure
Faith of my fathers
Reason for my failure

Teenage Dreams

The night begins to soak the streets
The silence echoes
It's cold out there tonight
Under the mountain the boys all bleed
Pick up their teeth
A point to prove tonight
Holding the night; it's ours
Covers the bones
Desire out here tonight
Lies are crafted to cure the bastards
The cinders are alight
Walk home son to your mother's touch
She cradles tortured love
The night seems so delicate the villainy is all we have
I'm not ready to go
The girls leave for flashing lights; fortune deflates in heels
We're not ready for love
Running through the paths we find
Frozen stiff by teenage dreams
The rage of youth upon us
We drag damage home to hold

Great Months

Don't break this precious town
It's better off alone
Close it tight I've got a presence to show
I'll wave my tattered flag
A measure of what we know
Dead salute to the years that we loathe
The middle breathes, the streets are bare
Smell of defeat pollutes and pulls me under
Dark and cruel, no stories to hear
Who's to blame? For pushing me back further
Fire broken out, let it surround
Scattered silhouettes, let’s dive back under
Great months divide, this great place divides
Let it burn away, the final terror
Let it burn away, I'm sinking fast
Drag us through the sinking earth
A foul taste of innocence
What have we learnt?

Hounds

Time to take in all the faces
The filth assigned to drag me around
This is where I've decided to frequent
To cut myself and make me a man
Slip your hand in, prick your fingers
Pull this down it'll make you feel alive
Watch it fall, feel it crawl
Under the night we sit fixing our skin
Morning comes I shake as I awaken
Forced to freeze it's making her rise
The wind is up I cross the tracks despondent
Defend my place among the pack of hounds
That is nothing, cover quickly
Standing in pool of my demise
Watch it fall, feel it crawl
Under the night we sit fixing our skin
When the lights go down the cries are loud
Where's this saviour
I have held on tight but resign tonight
There's no saviour
Brace yourself young man
The lake is about to drop, my bones begin to rust
Give yourself away
The scream of falling glass, a life I'll never have
I know a place away from this will come

Limbs

Here's your weapon choose your friends to hold
Fire one down the line and the paths we roam
There's a cold stance that breaks us up and weathers our time
Still we run far, not enough to end the fall
They laugh, we applaud
Failed again, broken limbs
This ain't good enough, the lucky ones can't win
Open skin
Save your weakness, lineup feel the wind
Line up feel the wind
Break your plans of crawling out
Clear your vision and see them pace
A sudden failure from the start
Watch the walls fall a defeated mess
What a price to pay, they're holding us the broken ones

Stolen Night
03:52

Lets see your cure
What a scene, a tragic mess
Release the smog
Another night under broken glass
It's cold and black, the engine screams out
One final sound before the earth drowns
See him lost
Look at me brother your sinking scowl
Your dispositions no secret
See his loss
Lets see your cure
What a scene, a tragic mess
Release the smog
Another night under broken glass
I can see the sun up
A stolen night
What a way to spend it
Chase you through the streets ‘til dawn
What a way to spend it
Chase you down like we were young

Unrest
05:47
|

The sound that never played
A falling cell
One more step to distance myself
The silence of the road
Is calling me to give up my pace
Give up my days
Break me in the breeze and I will love
To carry your hope
Face my bloody knees
So long
I hope your steady lie
Is tearing you down
What a show, deeper you sink
My hand’s too cold
An instant gift
Can we just breathe and walk different ways
Carve me down I see the staggered light
Through broken eyes
Are we even ready?
Are we even ready?
When they call
Your body's numb
And the love sinks low
Was it even there at all?
Death’s sea’s deep, let it fall
Now I fall and feel light

Dead Town
05:31
|
|||
|
Walk pass the love
As long as it stands
Sign of my luck
Crushing this path
Yeah this town breathes
Not without tears
Knocked down my door
To let the wolves in
The kids are all better now
The kids are all bitter now
Tear down the inside reveal the hope
I’m not around to call this my home
Passing the street lights only to fall
I’m not around to pull myself up
Each time I fall
They’re easing me down
Bolstered by strength
Not a dead town
Under the towering pine
Bathed in the salt
Under the towering pine
Bathed in the salt

NEON BASTARD - Meikhaus
by NEON BASTARD
Neon Bastard (aka Neon Basstard) is Kalem's other band. This is their first album released on Robotic Empire. Head smashingly ridiculous and awesome.

DIAL was one of the heaviest bands around. Cam played drums for them from 2006 - 2007 and recorded this EP with them. Re-released in 2009 by Robotic Empire. Oppressive as fuck.

Searing heavy indie that’s as brutal as it is melodic, with honeyed vocal harmonies swimming through stormy riffs.
