A Giant Leap 03:58
lyrics
buy track
would've swallowed all of cloud nine but it would never digest feeling weary from bitterness and all we had to deal with once hand in hand, we'd fall to fate though it'll never kill us war will eventually end, you'll see we'll both get some sleep at last and dream -chorus- restrained and soft-spoken with blood beneath my feet not cuz I'm heart broken but love was a giant leap utilizing fire and lies I'd try to describe us never realized why my blood made your ancient knife rust I had lost all control and trust cause I wasn't sure what love was if I had a chance, wouldn't take it back let it stay, that gap between us -chorus- restrained and soft-spoken with blood beneath my feet not cuz I'm heart broken but love was a giant leap

Bright Side (free) 05:01

analyze the bright side blind in an eye, of course brace for some more sunlight throw it on out the door bound up and captivated medication has no taste insomnia's ageless, bite for affliction's sake anxiety and anguish staying patient just in case it's clock-work of constants beneath a human's face I bet there's a bright side I bet there's a bright side -chorus- buried deep~ underneath the clouds lies the sea~ pulling waves of doubt I can't sleep~ the water's far too loud wanna shout~ one day I'll learn how, baby buried in a chasm where symbolism makes sense who knows what our love meant? chalk it up to confidence she's colored by concern sweating orange in cold smoke judgement's naked by me singing blues like it's a joke I dedicate my life to swimming in the fire life was my diversion disguised by desire we can't survive our lies let nature take it's course she'd make a sexy ex days before the divorce there won't be no trial 'less it's by flames or swords in this life it's die or a dice roll on the board I bet there's a bright side I bet there's a bright side -chorus x2- buried deep~ underneath the clouds lies the sea~ pulling waves of doubt I can't sleep~ the water's far too loud wanna shout~ one day I'll learn how, baby

It Begins In Confusion 04:40
lyrics

confusion is the basis for each relationship regardless what ya think love ain't the mothership, so the grey heart-shaped blades that have torn all those rips is cutting edge regret with a stiff upper-lip, but let's both keep hope tucked back behind them eye sockets or hide some up our sleeves should it be so shocking? let's at least be honest that we're not here for talking just feed some vague escapes that our brain keeps on blocking watching some who wince at mortality finding ways to stay drunk, young and happy but if you thought youth was so goddamn great you'd've drank that angst with fewer shots of heartbreak -chorus- found it in a metaphor you fight to describe it yet when it's been defined still find you're blind-sided found it in a metaphor let someone else write it yet when it's been inscribed still find you're blind-sighted so what can I say, babe I'm an optimistic version of each dead-beat dick that you've wasted time kissing I don't wait to be kissed won't beg for permission at times my mind may drift so pretend I can listen let's all lay here til sunrise and witness what this day brings or just call it a night and sleep until it turns spring who wants to be romantic when it's just a quick fling? since anyone's a prick if you ain't sick from the sting I'm standing in a crowd noone's staring my way once felt comfort til I stumbled on stage cuz the word "self" it wasn't what it seemed can't quite hear you somebody please hurt me -chorus- found it in a metaphor you fight to describe it yet when it's been defined still find you're blind-sided found it in a metaphor let someone else write it yet when it's been inscribed still find you're blind-sighted

Backstabber's Ink 04:49
lyrics

I live alone inside my head repeat each word til English is dead disown each verse of black and red that litter my path as scattered out meds escape each line that forms on my face erase each phrase like faith is misplaced gripped by addiction each second's a chase who could hold comfort clenching mistakes? obsessions tease you ideas that bleed through the kind that cling to your wounds like a tissue -chorus- when reality bends why bother to self-reflect and think? claim these means as an end as if your blood's a backstabber's ink I'm stuck alone inside my brain can't write words as prose for the sane bagged up the past flushed it down the drain void of memories gets flooded like rain only to find out behind that dam was all those reminder I couldn't bear to give up -chorus- when reality bends why bother to self-reflect and think? claim these means as an end as if your blood's a backstabber's ink

As Men Do 03:50
lyrics

witness this mortal overblowing each dream bringing morning torture twisting when his brain screams watch him travel circles pretend he's someplace new makes me seethe in anger but what the hell could I do? monster laying dormant I'm thoughts sheltered in his head he wants so bad to live I need to see him dead walking winding pathways sudden ends with him lost maybe if I break him then I can make my own laws -chorus- a shrieking voice I can't ignore like it's taking a human form this creature's scratching at my door who knows what the hell I am anymore imprisoned by a child was trapped as fantasy but adulthood leapt out divorced reality searchin' for a way out breathing in his head rust exhale as swallowed doubt like bloody flem he coughed up he begins to lose sight inverse of an eclipse moments never noticed I'd make sure he missed it cuz it's insignificant if it can't affect you no we're not narcissists we breath and bleed as men do dripping from a portrait drowning in negatives sink so deep in dark rooms praying that a god exists sleep in ash pitched stillness he'll creep beneath my bed reminiscing regrets there's a demon in my head -chorus- a shrieking voice I can't ignore like it's taking a human form this creature's scratching at my door who knows what the hell I am anymore

Annie 03:38

-chorus- now Annie, I know that you prolly never loved me I still pretend you're almost everything wrote this song while drunk so take these words as fleeting I'm missing you more with every drink no idea where we even stood so we took the high road above the heavens, so we could avoid those fakes that barely made it we've been in bliss just had enough of it hands over limbo rising golden clouds we've woven some demons that haunt us even now you're walking forward on a crooked path, I'm glad and what could I say? I've felt the same in the past -chorus- now Annie, I know that you prolly never loved me I still pretend you're almost everything wrote this song while drunk so take these words as fleeting I'm missing you more with every drink we crashed to earth it was a rough landing our crater was small but it left a lot of meaning our very first curse was to just inflict this pain we were feeling on others like a virus can't comprehend it what the hell had happened? left ourselves helpless our souls, black and stranded Annie, you had said least we were together hadn't know back then you'd haunt me forever~ now Annie, I know that yesterday seems years away like you're just a drop in an hourglass asking for another saying you'll be OK cuz ya only drink to the empty half -chorus x2- now Annie, I know that you prolly never loved me I still pretend you're almost everything wrote this song while drunk so take these words as fleeting I'm missing you more with every drink

-intro chorus- I snatch the pill from the still filled bottle set it on my dry tongue and struggle to swallow good outta bad I'm up to three to sleep awake late and praying thanking god these are cheap fueled by stress and some energy drinks caffeinated medication 'til I'm begging to blink now and then, get sick in the kitchen sink stare at the face being mirrored and take a sec to think a moron from a small town shook the bottle up and down heard the rattle, loved that sound is proud considered sane now? cuz when it's in his system it dims his eyes and then some he's on another mission for more good nights to piss on but is it deep to say I'm faking depth? is getting sleep the same as getting rest? begin the hunt for those elusive friends how'd I end up so far from my bed? most of his heroes OD'd on these pills so chilling to be near them they fuel him getting killed ignoring them ghosts like they're photo stills just slowing those emotions like he's broken the reel cuz the fire dies so early and all I knew was safety it seems like dreams we're chasing when all I hear is poor me how long have I been at sea I'm begging for some sound sleep with all these thoughts I now bleed each dying breath's a loud plea~ is it so much to ask to sleep again? or find someone keep this focus on them? know from the past that no memories can take me back I'm addicted to the dreams -outro chorus- I snatch the pill from the still filled bottle set it on my dry tongue and struggle to swallow good outta bad I'm up to six to sleep awake late and saying "thank satan these are cheap" I spent all night thinking of you I fig- ured you couldn't sleep too

For Immortality 05:00

dear broken mirror we meet again cracks caked like tears in your reflection that scar on my face ain't mine after all not known to get so emotional I'm from the darkest recess of my mind that small single space that helps me unwind liquid hits the lips I can hardly breathe through throat to liver live or die in peace -chorus- emptied the skyline so I'd never die closing a blind eye so I'd never die my old alarm clock we meet again was there a spare moment you wouldn't let me rent? penetrates my ears I damn near lose it punch to the mouth when the whole world's toothless I travel through time drinking and sleeping as a deity arose as it's sinking are you medieval? no! you're the whole thing transient ego that's fit for a king crazed became the new sane waking brought the same pain so I embraced my demons in new myths to believe in insomniac disguise an echo in his lies when one night he realized pride is an anti-christ -chorus- emptied the skyline so I'd never die closing a blind eye so I'd never die

easier to believe everyone's searching for the right thing whether it's love, smiles, trust, the world or waiting for the spring don't know what it is I'm searching for this ark's good at sailing far off course still be wishing it was something more when I find it~ yeah, if I find it~ -chorus- why can't I play god? why can't I play god? why can't I play god? why can't I play and at first the gods made man and then they gave us love nothing's going quite to plan when there's noone you can trust and I can't question existence but I had hoped it'd be more than this pardon me for my reluctance I can't accept this I won't accept this -chorus x2- why can't I play god? why can't I play god? why can't I play god? why can't I play

sea of bodies sway to motionless words noone's listening just chasing some skirts as the walls close in think "why am I here?" shaking from the kick between sips of beer then I smiled of course cuz that's what we're here for couldn't even care cuz we're too damn impaired -chorus- another adventure at the bar too drunk to care where we are blinded by strobe lights and a noisy beat swarming mob of filth starts to shift their feet a dumb little drunk stumbles up to me vomits on my shirt and spills my drink still I'll smile at her guess that's what we're here for couldn't even care cuz we're too damn impaired -chorus- another adventure at the bar who even knows where we are... another adventure at the bar too drunk to care who you are

it's been days since I got any sleep trying to find escape in these sheets is this what it takes to stoke the fires? cuz while they still burn I'm always~ tired~ sober as a zombie so someone shoot me though not quite sleeping I'm always dreaming I won't admit that inside I feel it an aching hunger that makes me human the past's ambiance kills or inspires whether tossed or turned it'll flirt with desire much as I'd like some peace and quiet it feels like my mind's a goddamn riot

our last romantic night I need you more than water temptation's nothing more than stirring booze in sulfur venom's in this carnage deep within this ether her eyes should keep closed cuz fate would rather tease her takes more than hate to tame me I'll use it like a lotion just weave those metaphors baby I'll teach ya how I sow 'em -chorus x2- what's lonely? who's sane? who's phony? what's changed? we're close and I'm the same distance is a tricky game whole skull engulfed in flames can't sleep and it's early yell and push when I'm close and scream each time I breathe each empty tower wall that these spirits tore down made me lose my language but still I speak somehow burning in the furnace I'm paranoid and spaced in never thought this surface would burn from creation ya suck your cigarette like smoke's the closest you'll get towards touching them skies til you die in regret it began in chaos embraced confusion we learn to live again each revolution who makes songs that you'd never listen to? or vents everything dorian or blues? I write the same lyrics living love like rhymes yet I feel like it's new almost every time -chorus x2- what's lonely? who's sane? who's phony? what's changed? we're close and I'm the same distance is a tricky game

about

The second release from Minnesota's indie deity Coeus the Boxing Titan, "Insomniatic Myth" is an Industrial Rock record with the far reach of Prog and Psychedelia, taking you on a chaotic journey through the brain of the sleep-deprived and unleashing eccentric musical sounds that you've only dreamed about. Taking influence from experimental artists like Beck, Trent Reznor, John Frusciante and Radiohead, Coeus punches through the surface of traditional music, freeing itself from the shackles of burdens like "band members", "genre", and "professionalism", and replacing them instead with beautiful soundscapes of samples, fuzz, and instrumentation, building up until they gently EXPLODE into your eardrums.

Despite utilizing nothing more than cheap equipment and a PC, each track places heavy emphasis on strong compositions and a beautiful atmosphere. Songwriter Aron Patterson provides the disembodied voice and lyrics for the Coeus project, weaving together words describing insomnia, love, addiction, and facing the fact that you're addicted to love (which is surprisingly more difficult than Palmer implies).
