Silver Wave 04:28
So full and far away The teacher's resting place A lonely roving horde So sure, grieving, what for? Cruel forbidding wind Bears down on us once again Turns the air to flame See the brave, breathe it in, and what for? It doesn't hurt to be alone You may be tall but not yet fully grown There'll always be a tone to push your heart into its own Float on a silver wave There's no more perfect place
2.
Sunlight 04:02
There was a time, sunlight meant nothing to me Free from all the pieces of mind, Those ones that might not agree Violent swinging arms to draw curtains, Speaking loud and long without pause, The sun it does so nurture but When channeled through the glass becomes too hot Leave it in the wind, in the wind It floats like a living bird against the sheperds' red sky It struggles with the burden that it gains, Then lets out one last song before the bloody night
3.
Byzantium 03:35
Byzantium Mind soaked in rum Opposite the blind There a land we could find Free from fear where none should be You will find me 'neath a fruit bearing tree Precocious youth Reach for the fruit The truth evades your hand It speaks as it lands The evil is instilled in you; This you are told and so it must be true You will find me beneath the tree

Lullaby 02:07

Without 04:25
Comfort me oh heaving wreck On the lifeboat thrown adrift I watch the seething water claim The bones of what it means to live Slowly drowns the gargling mess That of wood and metal pipe And just below the crescent moon Let loose a flare provide some light Ever bleak and full of doubt At once I'm with and then without Slowly drowns the sizzling light The ones that reddens rippling waves It passes 'tween the elements The ones whose constant war is waged One moment empty then so full Yet tragically predictable Lost Comfort me oh heaving wreck On the lifeboat thrown adrift I watch the seething water claim The bones of what it means to live So clearly can we see the line Dividing sea and cloudless sky If man is the beach Then his nature be the tide

Wild Things 06:37
One day i awoke, so still Sounds around me, louder still I woke amidst the sea, floating calmingly One day I awoke, so sure The sea is where my heart will Lie forevermore One day I awoke, so free Eyelids open, creatures circling around me One day I awoke, so broken To jealousy, I want to be bigger than I am As endless as the ocean One day I awoke so tired, eyelids open Sunlight spills onto my body Rest Moonlit waves Take me away To somewhere far Oh hope is coming for me
7.
Entropy 07:33
What is it you want This husk of an ideal Wherever were its innards Whenever did you feel The watery veneer The tepid washing bowls The ever sinking windows To the rinsed and worn out soul It comes and goes Facades of quaint composure A bafflement contained A fear that must be snuffed out Or tacitly rearranged The disillusioned soldier His windmill arms still turned By the gale that blows the litter Into the ears of the alone It comes and goes The body lifting hunger The void that you might fill Is the shape of a moving paper doll Held by its hands and heels The niggling sense of panic From a sound that might not end The string is strained so tightly It will snap if it must bend It comes and goes Keep your eyes fixed on the bright light Let me tell you what to feel You can call it an injustice And choke on your next meal Close your mind to the disaster Concern yourself with bills But you won't have to pay at all You won't suffer but your children will

about

Our second EP. Genre spanning and emotional, we hope you enjoy it.

Jumbo's Matthew Bradshaw says "If I were to pin down what I like most about J.R. so much I'd say that it's because they create such dramatic energy within such a loose, playfulness...Another Juxtaposition would be a kind of powerful prettiness that permeates their songs. It's an accomplished, sophisticated mini album enhanced by great playing, production, vocals and some mighty impressive ideas..One's to watch and recommended for sure!"
