Centralia 03:26
Hey! The ground that is under your feet is corrupt Better look where you're standing, Start to get moving Before everything is burned up I said hey! The words that you speak will drag you to hell You came here uninvited, assaulting the center, ignorance broken the spell Right to defy, your hate, hate How can this by my life? Dealing with you? Disdain, my rage, you're not going to break me Hey! The cracks in the pavement are coming your way Rock seething and burning, blazing beneath you, everything ends in decay I said hey! I've had it up to here with your shit I've heard your opinion, you're well past the line now, and teetering over the pit Right to defy, your hate, hate How can this by my life? Dealing with you? Disdain, my rage, you're not going to break me That's enough, time to get a move on Think you're tough? You're just digging your own grave Off the cuff, I'd say you're out of luck now Next time, if you're looking for some action, call someone who cares Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Right to defy, your hate, hate You're not going to break me

Piss Wizard 03:37
This is your god, an easy prey Don't think too hard, piss it away It's black and white, and shades of gray It's time to fight, wars underway When you gonna join the fight? Enter into the fray Think we got them on the run Stare into the rectangle You're hypnotized, it will be your fall They know just what you'll do If you see them they're coming for you This is your god, an easy prey Don't think too hard, piss it away It's black and white, and shades of gray It's time to fight, wars underway Stare into the rectangle You must obey or they'll take it all, you know? They know just what you'll do Go! When you gonna join the fight? Enter into the fray Think we got them on the run Gotta put the glasses on Seeing only lies; engage Gonna have to shut 'em down Lifting up the human cage They live, we sleep Watch the TV They live, we sleep You can't make me

The chaos fell, but all I can hear is your talking The thunder roared, your babble is endless mocking Piercing walls yet unbroken Standing fast, on the edge of existence Shooting fire, drinking hops for subsistence The wizard is standing, soaking Every second, every minute, every hour that it takes Every act of pain, and my frustrations, that I can't unmake We still hear the drunken rabble, even as the walls do shake In between, sits the possibility The light and the dark, nothing or eternity Choose something or hold your peace Every second, every minute, every hour that it takes Every act of pain, and my frustrations, that I can't unmake We still hear the drunken rabble, even as the walls do shake Explosive laughter sounds Plans are passed around Glass that needs the ground Electric heart still pounds These bright moments are fleeting Electric heart is still beating Ahead is my vision Behind is a prison These bright moments are fleeting Electric heart is still beating Electric heart still pounds

Dawn's light breaks, and slaps me right in the face Toss and turn, and look where I can brace We've crossed the line, we knew it would come in time And so we push for moving on Back amongst the dirt, is where you find what you're worth We dwell a spell, then move along The time has come to push, harder against the throng We've sat waiting far too long They're always on our tail One false move, we fail The hounds are on our heels But the chase has changed me We're not breaking, no mistaking us Blood and sweat, enough to lift us up We're not breaking, no mistaking us Blood and sweat, enough to lift us up There's no mistaking!

Bedlam 05:54
Drifting leaves, they pile up deep, covering what was achieved Creeping moss, collecting in corners, reclaiming all that is lost Mists are drifting Obscures the entropy It's time to be leaving Rusting shells, once holding dreams, now it's all gone to Hell Sunset flames, they bask in the fallout, already they are changed Dusty beams, partly revealing, filtering through the seams Broken tracks, are covered over, this isn't a good way back Mists are drifting Obscures the entropy It's time to be leaving Let the bedlam take it

The depthless tide was seething Deep cracks arise, revealing These new stains on my mind but I'm still breathing Although sinking slowly Echoes and lines are flowing These tranquil thoughts lay broken Now my mind is so swift and unfocused As daylight is falling Been tethered down These weeks have drained me But I can't let it go These anchors maintain me Unbounded sky was freedom A blanket of eyes, all-seeing And if they go blind, I'm still breathing Although sinking slowly And if they go blind, I'm still breathing And if they go blind...

I woke up Monday and remembered how to smile My crumbled, stone heart hadn't beaten for a while And in that moment, I had something left to give And maybe someday have a life that I could live I couldn't sleep, went in too deep You're in my bed, stuck in my head Can't find a reason why you wouldn't want to go Just thought you should know Eyes opened Tuesday and I felt that I had grown. Looked over next to me to find I was alone. You left your marks on me, deep and on both sides. Another loveless lover, at least I finally tried. I couldn't sleep, went in too deep You're in my bed, stuck in my head Running round in circles, to make what might have been These pillars will rise again I'm alive! I'm awake! Am I happy by mistake? I've got one wet face from lying in your wake. I'm on fire from the fame. I'm so happy that you came. Put me in my place, you're my slaying grace. I couldn't sleep, went in too deep You're in my bed, stuck in my head Can't find a reason why you wouldn't want to go Just thought you should know I'm alive! I'm awake! Am I happy by mistake? I've got one wet face from lying in your wake. I'm on fire from the shame. I'm so happy that you came. Put me in my place, you're my slaying grace.

Wheels 04:22
We're going around again I swallowed my tail and found no end Maybe you thought that we we're spent But a wheel is meant to spin I have changed I've passed through so many gates in this way Ever closer to the gold I've made I have changed I crawled like a snake when I shed my wings Then I was lifted by my own strength Cooled by water, I felt Mercury ascend Steam is rising, the white bird's in the air Cool the spirit off and reconnect the pair We're going around again I swallowed my tail and found no end Maybe you thought that we we're spent But a wheel is meant to spin

about

Flannel Season Iowa City, Iowa

These rockers are children of autumn and the grunge era. Add some modern stoner rock and just a general, all-around band handsomeness, and Flannel Season has grown into one of the heavier and melodic rock bands of the Iowa City scene. Where there is a need for rock, heavy riffs, harmonies and beards, you will find these plaid-clad headbangers. ... more
