Are you ready to live as if nothing else matters? Are you ready to ship all your troubles abroad? If you die quietly no one will remember. If you go down in style nobody will care The second before the crash, your life flashed in front of your eyes No memories were worth a dime. you were looking for good times that just were not there When I found this old place it was only a wasteland It might look like a shack but found love in the shed I worked hard and I lied and I built for their pleasure I was merrily thrown to the depths of despair Why didn’t you call an ambulance! When the bleeding reached your holding arms You know you got to cut some knots; I was looking for good times that just were not there Where’s the spark in your eyes and the light that guided you I was covered and buried in several shades of grey Seven years and three months since I last climbed to heaven It’s been life and a half since I last touched your skin Don’t waste your time digging the past that you hated so much Nothing to talk about after I’m gone You were looking for good times that just were not there HURRAH for the good times!! Nobody will care I was looking for good times I wish I was dead

the fog 05:22
When he woke up that fatal morning Missed the sound of their steps Still proud of ignoring all the warnings Without them I’m lost at sea. Don’t leave the house without a whimper! Can’t you see we were drowning all along? The lighthouse guiding us home Shamelessly rewrote our story God damn!!This fog Sat down to write the story of my life And found out there wasn’t much to add Felt a rush of blood to my head Was struck by a panic attack instead Skin that was torn by the tide Kissed the shore and wave the dreams goodbye Tried to keep a hold on my thoughts But daylight put me back where I belong God damn this fog I could have been a contender And party like a pro. Instead I was roaming the ocean Lost in the fog Help me to sail through this eerie And find the way home Cause I’m still roaming the ocean Lost in the fog

carry on 05:42
When he put down the phone and found water in his lungs, Realised, that time don’t really change people. You can alter the facts for so many times, But it’ll come back to haunt you after dark. Considered himself the luckiest man on earth He had everything a good man ever wished for But that didn’t stop him from killing the charm From choosing the lies that suit him the best I don’t wish you good / I don’t wish you bad I don’t wish you good, oh no! / I don’t wish you bad We don’t wish you good/ we don’t wish you bad We don’t wish you at all, No more, Just carry on and take me back To my comfort zone She might have been driving while taking the call I could hear the kids talking all along But she didn’t stop and carried on with her will How far could they escape with a tank full of gas? Was she fair to him or was she just plain wrong? As she quit their house without even a note To re-start a new life away from the man Just go to Hell and never look back

Settling down my own skin was the order of the day Took a step back to contemplate the window pane There is nothing that you can do to crack me now The pitfalls of the road to ruin and back were scarce And if you make your mind up Please send us a reminder For the times we used to share And if you shake your past up for The sake of horrifying us The thrill and honor will be mine Don’t feel scared of farewells all options led to ruin Someday soon you will laugh at this. Get used to it. Routine will occupy your mind. Effortlessly The vibes are way too civilized So hard to chew it You finally made your mind up Your web then captivated us How doomed we were from the start And if you beg the spider She will be terrified by The fearlessness of the fly And if this wreck confine us To the life of the spineless I’m sure it will be worth the wait

Good old stories go hand in hand. Against your rules, against the tide The path to glory. Them versus us To end the myth about your town Pennies, Nickels, quarters and dimes He checked his pockets there was a gun Every time he hit that road was welcome home with the same frown Follow the signs; a new way out How old were you when Elvis died? This is your future, your fractured mind That way of thinking won´t take you far A hole, some silence and peace Give me the reasons to believe Stand still, don’t move, too afraid to lose your cool I know you‘re anxious, you know I’m cruel Always be proud to blow the roof Still alone, alone at sea, how do you dare to stare at me Was bound for glory this mindless wreck But found in hell my deserved rest Come soon, please hurry up, in the long run we all fuck up Come close, come clean, Squeeze my nerves and make me sick Be here, be quick cause no one else could rescue me from this mess Im in, How long will take to fix my scene

The birds of winter took him home, again Against the wishes of the crowd’s outrage Repair the damage and start a claim For all the troubles that you’ve caused to them It was the saddest of the nights When the coldest of the winds Brought the news back Brought the news back Home Let’s burn those witches just for fun and play Take my advice and learn to play the game Undo the clause you took one time and pray Cause to my weaknesses you are a slave It was the saddest of the nights When the coldest of the winds Brought the news back Brought the news back Home The birds of winter / the drops of sorrow The birds of winter / the crops of summer The birds of winter / took you home with them The birds of winter The birds of winter seek the pain with disdain Towards the yearnings that their minds reject The dreaded vultures infect the band with disgrace To end the troubles that you’ve caused to them

I tried to keep your secrets safe, your life the rarest bird Will be there when the ship explode, right in my face The sentence was loud and clear. I was supposed to stay If you could only saw my tears, rolling down the drain You took away the pain and brought the silence back Again the river showed me where not to fall apart. You’re famous now you got your wishes delivered at your door You worry about the tiniest things that make your life here hell You are well set up and all the kids follow you behind In competition with no one so no chance for you to win You will reveal the truth as long as we are through Again the river showed me where not to fall apart. You realized that you were, the consolation prize Your endless fascination with my beautiful insides Were dying to quit the scene since the day I call your name You think you are the moral king of mediocrity Your crying gives you the right to keep pushing me down Again the river showed me where not to fall apart.

Doctors swear I will be fine for at least another month If I follow the strict rules I might see the merry moth of June Never the one to hesitate I’m afraid I’ll lose my steps Without a compass in my heart and a naked sense of relieve Should have left the house more often Should have kept in touch with friends Should have been more kind to you Let’s live our lives / one day at a time Let’s take our lives Here is the path we used to travel Gravel, pebbles, stones and sand. In my understated state of mind Couldn’t enjoy what was left behind Let’s Drink some mercury and raised a toast to each other Delete those memories so hard to swallow You got what you paid for I paid too much for what I got I wouldn’t mind to stir things up, Let’s live our lives / one day at a time Let’s take our lives

going down 03:48
He woke up from the steps There was someone messing in their room Get up you make me sick. It’s the time for you to payback You kept me waiting too long But no one can escape from their fate Is it you Mrs. Jones? Or just my imagination? Let me stay You fit me like a glove I will cover your tears with snow Young, vulgar and strong All my bones were missing in action. This time I’m going down No tricks or begging could save me The boundaries are all gone Still don't know the charges I’m wearing.. Let me stay
11.
You didn't want to be seen But you rather be noticed You will leave a black hole When departing the room Didn't want to be saved Never asked for support A wound they won’t be able to overrule Lost most of everything and won almost nothing Tired of feeling sick and sick of being tired Never far enough from the point of no return So much stuff in your head And then nothing gets done Why don’t You finish your drink? And put a shoe in your mouth? You wasted your free will Waiting to be found Fighting a lost crusade In the name of your pride You were spot in the roof Howling at the moon. Fare thee well.

about

Crooked times and warped psyches produce skewed melodies. Those angular hard emotions coalesce in The Crooked Crew, a band primed to develop after rock ‘n’ roll. They project glacial, redemptive tunes of introspection- that inwardly melodic new terrain.

Via many guises Captain Excuse has continued unstaled by custom to tap the source of the original with oftentimes a pop edge. A viable pop frame for myriad convergences that permeate the work as if the most vital of vocabularies have to be the commercial, but as dignified transport. After the influences that make a band evolve this one has arrived at a contemplative edifice of atmospheres.

Insular is comprised of tunes questing to mean something by these crooked veterans undimmed by time.
