Motion, deep emotion You’ve got my heart held up in Heart held up in chains I see danger It’s gets closer This is war like before Slam our hands in the door Filthy replay It cuts me to the core But who could ask more Am I in your way? You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down The winds came And with them they brought tears For all the years I took the blame I will stand up now, I will stand up now I will be faithful to myself You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down It took so long To get back up on my own after the fall... You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down You’ve got to see it To believe it Love lies bleeding When love lies down See it....to believe it Love lies bleeding Love lies down

Roads 04:25 video
Roads where do we go, where do we go? Away from the places we know to somewhere we don’t And if we make a wrong turn, If we take the long way, I swear it’s ok, I swear it’s ok Streets they follow desire, by our design To roads from the places we know, to somewhere we don’t And if we make a wrong turn, lines astray on concrete I swear it’s ok, do you swear it’s ok? It’s the hardest map to make It’s the longest path to take All the fragile hearts will break Miles and miles down the road, we’re stuck in the dirt Left behind the lives that we know, for ones that we don’t Well I guess we made a wrong turn, losing our direction Swear it’s ok, do you swear it’s ok? It’s the hardest map to make It’s the longest path to take All the fragile hearts will break It’s the hardest map to make It’s the longest path to take All the fragile hearts will break

Tiny Knives 03:04
You’re a ghost to me I’m not immune to you But I am armed now With all the courage that I needed Guess I knew it then We can cement it now Your so good at being familiar We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool Held down, tied up By somebody’s rules And the tiny knives That you stick in my side Well they may hurt Pain is beauty Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder And I crossed my heart But I won’t let it die I’ll move on now Your a novice not a teacher I don’t believe you Cuz everyone lies To get what they want to get what they want We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool Held down tied up By somebody’s rules I don’t believe you Cuz everyone lies To get what they want, to get what they want I don’t believe you..... We’ve all been scarred playing somebody’s fool Held down tied up By somebody’s rules Held down tied up By somebody’s rules

What’s the use in being brave? When everybody’s so stuck in their ways This undertow will pull me in I wear my fear just like a second skin I climb the walls cuz I can feel it moving in But everybody’s wrong There’s nothing here but time to chase I feel it oh so deep I count the days, I count the daze Am I a fool to try to move with grace? When everybody falls down the same way Will you be there to let me in? When I wear my fear just like a second skin Still climb the walls cuz I can feel it moving in But everybody’s wrong There’s nothing here but time to chase I feel it oh so deep I count the days, I count the daze 2X I count the days til I feel thunder Count the days til I feel rain Count the days til I feel nothin Count the days til there’s no pain But everybody’s wrong There’s nothing here but time to chase I feel it oh so deep I count the days, I count the daze It’s coming on so strong There’s nothing here but time to chase I feel it oh so deep I count the days, I count the daze

Black days come, they’ll rob me So quick to change my fate If you hold me, I can’t be straight We’ve got the highs We’ve got the lows We’ve got it all to give control We’ve got so far to go To catch the darkest horse The one with no remorse I want you, to come find me I’m on it, take everything Twist the hand of fate Those days when hearts trump spades We’ve got the highs We’ve got the lows We’ve got it all to give control We’ve got so far to go To catch the darkest horse The one with no remorse We’ve got the highs We’ve got the lows We’ve got it all to give control We’ve got so far to go To catch the darkest horse The one with no remorse

Eye To Eye 04:32
Follow roads unknown to See just where they take you I wanna show you what you’re made of Cut all the ties that bind you Leave yourself open and empty I wanna show you just where you’ve been And we meet at last, see it Eye to Eye Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye OooOhh Ohhh Leave the past to pasture Walk faster to shed your skin I wanna show you what’s inside of The deep hollow that aches you And all of the cracks in the road I wanna show you what you’re afraid And we meet at last, see it Eye to Eye Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye OooOhh Ohhh When the hunters in the air Traveling heavy hearted And the road winds out of sight If the lovers sorrow Leads you here tomorrow Then your homeless heart is Your homeless heart is mine Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye you and I Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye you and I Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye you and I Eye to Eye, Eye to Eye you and I OooOhh Ohhh

Exit Madness 03:56
When the wind Blows wilder than the sea When it feels like running But never breaking free Don’t burn your bridges Or you’ll never safely cross Just keep your game up No matter what the cost Did you want it to hurt Keep kicking up dirt If fuels the desire You’ll always be the first to set it on fire You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend the end, you’re slow like revenge With thorns in my side I swallow my pride I can’t believe we were one, no I can’t ignore the smoking gun You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend the end, you’re slow like revenge We march along Our weapons in our heads No destination With hearts heavy as lead Don’t burn your bridges Or you’ll never safely cross Just keep your game up No matter what the cost Did you want it to hurt Keep kicking up dirt If fuels the desire You’ll always be the first to set it on fire You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend the end, you’re slow like Did you want it to hurt Keep kicking up dirt If fuels the desire You’ll always be the first to set it on fire You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend the end, you’re slow like revenge Don’t burn your bridges Or you’ll never safely cross Just keep your game up No matter what the cost Did you want it to hurt Keep kicking up dirt If fuels the desire You’ll always be the first to set it on fire You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend the end, you’re slow like revenge You’re my friend til the end, you’re slow like revenge

The First 04:09
It was simple There were no words Know you’re a runner Too fast We were touching like kids And I feel it all Feel higher than When it was simple You cried I fell You held my hand I held my breath And I ran from giving you all my best It’s not forever lover It’s fine, that’s what we said I think I gotta let it go We tried we did our best I will be fine, I think You’ll be fine out there I think, I swear it’s not forever...love It’s never simple You needed me when You were so sick with love Like Like under covers At midnight, In the moonlight You want me and you lie there I will remember this 2x It’s not forever lover It’s fine, that’s what we said I think I gotta let it go We tried we did our best I will be fine, I think You’ll be fine out there I think, I swear it’s not forever...love It’s not forever lover.... Nothing’s forever....

A whisper in gold But we’re screaming out in silver To have and to hold Let’s believe it now, it’s easier I don’t want to die inside your heart You don’t want to die inside my heart Please don’t let us die You’re all mine It never gets old We never tire of the story To hurt is to hold Gilded cage of I’m so sorry I don’t want to die inside your heart Please don’t let us die..... Love just isn’t love with any other No love could be this love so let’s run for cover Don’t make me take a breath before the earthquake If this is how..... Our hearts break Love just isn’t love with any other No love could be this love..... Breaking the mold Your my diamond in the rough dear How can you hold A shining star that’s filled with fear I don’t want to die inside your heart You don’t want to die inside my heart Please don’t let us die Love just isn’t love with any other No love could be this love so let’s run for cover Don’t make me take a breath before the earthquake If this is how..... Our hearts break Love just isn’t love with any other No love could be this love so let’s run for cover Don’t make me take a breath before the earthquake If this is how... Our hearts break

Oil & Water 03:42
I will walk right into Your trap like always And settle into you Ooh oooh ooh A carbon copy Of my history please Baby, help me if you can Ooh oooh ooh Holy roller Sundays I’ll be missing your face I remember what we were Ooh oooh ooh You and I are just like Oil and Water And I just can’t shake it off Ooh oooh ooh I’ve held on through hell I have known the greatest fear I’ve come through the darkest hours and still you bring me to tears I’ve suffered your loss while I I held your hand so tight I’ve known your tongue like a knife and the heart that hides from the light I’ve run to you In the black of coldest night Against the wildest winds that I Could never, ever fight

about

Rose Of The West Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Sequestered in the desert of Western Australia, the vibrant, red flowers of Eucalyptus macrocarpa stand out against the harsh landscape. The rare tree, nicknamed “rose of the west,” manages to prevail over the severe climate, opening its beauty to those who seek it. It’s in this image that Gina Barrington found solace and inspiration for her band.

Rose Of The West is dream pop with a dark side.
