Rebirth 01:49
lyrics

Waiting for a reason From this disillusioned evening Feels like everything's uneven From the floorboards to the ceiling Keep me breathing, cheating , screaming Improvised a type of demon Finding reason , not believing Compromise my only feeling

Light Still Hurts His Eyes 03:53
lyrics
download
He's a winner all the time First to thrive not last in line But I'll think he'll lose one day Always has his say Addiction grows the more he makes A touch insane he'll desecrate When the last chance comes his way Never lost too late And when the curtain bursts with lies The consequence will give him life I heard the laughter hides his cries Sometimes the light still hurts his eyes So when the curtain bursts with lies The consequence will give him life I hear the laughter hides his cries Sometimes the light still hurts his eyes He throws away his desires Wings that keep you in flight No one has more mercy than me First concedes his pleasures For someone who can't get hurt It's always him who runs No one has more mercy than me Talks too much his brain is tired When he leaves he gets admired But I know he'll fail the same First to pass the blame While he's alive he has to lie Imagine the scene of him deprived And I know he'll have his way Not sure why he prays She leaves him with no cares She left him loneliness All alone to curse the way Full of emptiness Practices regret Left to make amends It's all a mess and still he says I'm not done yet She said/You said The light would blind us Age of innocence/Age of violence No one here gives a damn what you say Four words to sing 'Am I done yet?' NO!

Something Close to Perfect 03:26
lyrics

It's early morning but I see those eyes I guess that last nights not a compromise Not awake but I'm feeling focussed Never have a laugh that's why they call me joker Come and see me we can do it again When it's over we can call it good friends Rolling over like your life ain't worth it Completely hypnotised by your quest for profit The seeds of doubt were planted long before The clearest sight is proof to carry me And where there's love we'll have to see it through We won't be left we're not the chosen few You can't give up You can't give in With something close to perfect You can't give up You can't give in Your bruises make you perfect I have a tendency to self-ignite Imagination couldn't bring to life I'm the one to call when getting desperate Consider this the only chance to keep that separate Have I had too much or do I pretend I've got a conscience and it's letting you in can you hear the voices when they say pretentious Surrounded but I feel a case of misplaced venture It's because your skins so soft Seeing good as if there's any When You get the chance You're strong Could I ever wait that long Now I'm in the trouble I could never get into Fallen for another night I'm waiting every day Some things will never change

Pink Sky 03:08
lyrics
download
I walk on paths of concrete fields and clay When there's no one there Im reminded waiting patiently but the mood is rare I'm alone , with you too, had enough, completely used Why wait , for you , circumstance will see you through You can lay your head down next to me And forget all that was meant to be As for you I'd wait eternity For the way we were Although their clouds keep hanging over us In the clearest sky Of all this vengeance you have left to climb And there's no reply Being afraid , comes true , I'm the distant point to prove Feel free , blame you , hard enough I'm numb to you No, not alone, not alone One more chance to find your place

Anything at All 04:29
lyrics

I'll make , nothing left Twice made , hold my breath Feel liked , must be fake Save more , to give away Their wrong , caught my eye Say you wont , the other side How low , isn't right Step one , from inside There's always more than what's at stake Always pressure more decay Turns me on , whenever someone calls There's selfish gifts for you to make The ice will melt one day, dry to burn Wishing me to change I guess I'd better leave before it's time could do anything at all I think I'd better leave the long goodbye And could do anything at all She has , too much say bores me , tearaway Free as , a caged bird True say , when will he learn I've heard, she's delicate Made of , nothing good I had , nothing left Back to, anywhere I guess id better leave before it's time , cos u already know Guess I better leave before it's time...

Adrenaline 02:52
lyrics
download
Never should it be this hard Looking through these endless papers It's not the first time and it won't be long before it's vapour Crossing through the things all done It's not the turn of ages The constant image of a lottery ticket not wages Come Report the findings from Experiments that are labelled It is the easy way , it's how help has now got enabled Fallen from the highest heights Leaving when the jobs not over This could be heaven in disguise , supplies are running lower Caught from the deepest and bleakest of worlds All in their own hell Free from the weeds in the garden of greed Time can't even help Even heal Time can't even heal Even heal Busy till the day we die There is no chance to savour Two thousand days of sitting , drinking, taking time from labour Listen to the things I've done Lost my mind , its reeling Now that's the vision of a condasending local villain The trouble Is the truth it hurts It makes us lose all reason Contemplating , hating Satan for his lack of teasing Darker than the air at night Lower than a three foot ceiling Declining , thriving in a cataclysmic Loss of feeling Consumed and it's got me believing That time has no meaning , All corridors close at the end Turnover more than enough leaves Eventually does seem The help isn't coming to lend

Strobes and Psirens 02:48
lyrics
download
It somehow started when the evidence departed late I'm so elated and deflated by the times that we've shared I can't find reason within freedom when the grass isn't there Trials and tribulations left me irritated full of despair My head keeps speaking I can't hear it though a message that is pure and crystal clear I'm automatic in the language but Im out of clues this time it's never fair Come and get a hold , your revealing More than I could withstand Calling through the mist and your missing Hoping someone is there (Hold on to hope...) Keep me clinging , I see passion and the beauty is there Surely we were meant to use this pure abuse to keep you here Far away the best I've done , the only time I've cried To no one Carelessly caressing all the venom So that you could hear Feed my inspiration Bit by bit Tell me I'm down But I'm not out Where were you to see the whole night through Left unprotected By yourself If no one has time , then it's said and done All my life it's Strobes and Psirens

Fear Like I Fear 03:35
lyrics
download
Forgive I'm helpless, no more than I know Unless the useless become more than they control Composed and selfish, another dice to throw Kicked in the teeth to heal again when some command Used and fruitless, never safe to hold Avenged the night that nothing made sense in your hole Drained to the bottom of the cup to shield your soul This denial it won't let go You fear like I fear, you never let it show, Aggravated, touch me once I dare More of the same please I can't stand to watch and spare Dawn broke too late, fucked because I'm sad! Always a risk I sound ungrateful but who's there? Venerated , twisted brand new fan Expelled for nothing more than straying from the plan Complicated , woth less than your wears I love the heavey water cutting through the air I'm generated by the hope lost to despair Is there many more mistakes I can class as ordinary Every time I hit the breaks There is a sign your ever ready When I'm way too scared to jump You will push and pull to save me When imagination thrives You feel awake inside

Empyrean 02:44
lyrics
download
You could try to understand There's something missing aren't you glad there's No more Chances Left to grab Hold your breath and all will fall My essence burns it's beautiful But not enough and your not Anymore Do you scratch your principles Do you give up what you have to and Never what you should do You always go too far There's an answer to resolve I like it here the sun rains angels Casting Mortals Far to save It's only here your number one One wrong step it's back to front and Twisted Faithfull Tears that drown What we see is not our fault It's for nothing don't I know

Not So Simple 04:42
lyrics
download
Seconds left to start the show One more cry and then no more Curtains draw to show the door this way Leave yourself and enter stage Hope the crowds give more today Feel your footsteps as the floor gives way Waiting for the trip to end Want to rise and not descend Feel retired and bored today You're pitiful and that's so simple Trade this life and start again Hold these times they neverend The dreamers right and has it all Your pitiful , not so simple Lights go down to painful glows Silent cheers for horror shows Not a dry eye as the sky turns grey Break the seals , scarred to the core For all these sins , you can't adore This is all the things that we could be All good things come to those who cannot wait A simple mind you cannot fake It's not worth being here anymore... Trade this life and start again All things clear and then it ends Think things through before you said Your cynical, not so simple

On the Outside 02:08
lyrics
download
Love let me lay A new start There's too much to find You can try and Write your name while we would sit and watch the flames, It's just the same Until the next One Wipe tears now from your eyes There will be new ones Another easy night it's too cheap to use enough Here comes resentment with the love There's no change Not on the inside On the outside looking in

Praise for The Glass Room:

"As the album progresses it is obvious a lot of effort has been put into this, not just into the individual songs, but into the album as its own entity. There are production flairs a-plenty, piano parts and lots of little gems hidden within. The songs flow together on a sonic journey covering a variety of styles from alt-rock, emo punk, post-hardcore, metal and even a ballad, all dripping with an un-placeable atmosphere that envelopes the whole album. Mash together Muse, Aiden and Madina Lake, and you\'ll start to get the idea."
Got Grog

“This mix sounds bigger, slicker and more produced than anything to date. A testimony to what a group of dedicated friends/musicians can do when you just keep plowing ahead. I was like... damn, let me turn this thing up!!!”
Mike Mazzotta - One Ton Tomatoes

"Something all great bands aim to achieve, The Glass Room have proven themselves to be truly exceptional. Their brave sound stands well above many other bands of their genre"
SQ Magazine

"The sharp crisp sound created by the this band certainly holds up to their name and will have your pulse racing shattering the sound waves in true Glass Room fashion. WELL DONE GUYS, beautifully well written and delivered in top class style …..keep up the good work !! 9/10"
Breaking Music Magazine

“An intelligent, adaptable band, and they are focused on achieving greatness”
The Resident

“The potential of being something quite refreshing within British Rock.”
