Moon Pigeon by Syne Wave Faith, in a higher state In a place away from here You’ve got to keep your eyes on the prize If you wanna’ get your piece of the sky, Stand your common ground In the new world you found Where you can be so free And I’m flying through electric clouds And the signal is there Sounds and colors washing over me Spinning through the air And I’m so far from home, yet I’m never alone But I can see it all clearly now, Through my own eyes Awake, after such a long break, From the world you knew From the world that I knew Stand your common ground In the new lost and found Where you can be all you can be And I’m flying through electric clouds And the signal is there Sounds and colors washing over me Spinning through the air And I’m so far from home, yet I’m never alone But I can see it all clearly now, Through my own eyes Faith, in a higher state From the world you knew From the world that I knew

Breaking 04:14 video

Breaking by Syne Wave I'm over the borderline I think I'm about to break Can't take what you’re given me Had about all I can take I don't like your empire Or these images of late Poisoning my inspirations Filling me, filling me with hate I require something more Than the news of your big score Really hope it's not too late Cuz I’m about to abdicate I’m breaking… b-b-b-breaking …I-I’m brea-ayyy-king down I'm going over the wall Press myself to heed the call I’m going over the line Pushed too far yet another time I need to go, I need to fly Cuz there has to be some light - on the other side So many take on the bait A plastic image that's held with tape You claim to be so-so real You’re just another wicked fake I'm going over the wall Press myself to heed the call I’m going over the line Pushed too far yet another time I need to go, I need to fly Cuz there has to be some light - on the other side I’m breaking… b-b-b-breaking …I-I’m brea-ayyy-king down I'm going over the wall Press myself to heed the call I’m going over the line Pushed too far yet another time I need to go, I need to fly Cuz there has to be some light - on the other side

Escape 04:42 video
lyrics

Escape by Syne Wave Sunrise breaks through the confusion, Sharpens the focus on pain Waiting for the answer to show to me, Knowing it will hide again Stumbling away from the madness, Hiding myself from the outside world Looking for a way I can forget, Emotions that bare themselves to me Trying to accept things as they are, Knowing it’s the way they should be Blocking out cries for attention Searching for another way Grabbing hold of a shred of reason Stealing myself away, for another day… some other day If I could close my eyes And let the world fall away Would I surrender myself? Or just retreat for another day Pushing my confusion away from me, Hiding behind a mask of resolve Standing, out unsheltered alone, Trying to make my fears dissolve. Forcing myself to maintain control Allowing myself to stand and stay Feeling the fear brush on by Holding my ground today, for another day… some other day If I could close my eyes And let the world fall away Would I surrender myself? Or just retreat for another day Sunrise after another yesterday, This time with clearer after sight Hindsight is a gift that we regain, When hope rises from the darker night Light cuts through vile yesterdays Mind renewed and rest complete Letting go smiling inwardly Dark thoughts go, past is defeat If I could close my eyes And let the world fall away Would I surrender myself? Or just retreat for another day But then you opened my eyes To see the world in a different way So I surrender myself To the warmth of the coming day.

Rain 04:02 video

Rain by Syne Wave The center of attention, in an unrehearsed scene The same old drama, with an all new cast of stars Although you know that, you just can't give in Cause you like to think you might just win Don't pay attention to the storm around you It’s just the same one, that’s always found you Let the others do the crying about the rain Get struck by lightning and wash themselves away Let the others do the crying about the rain Get struck by lightning and wash themselves away The Judge and junky both have their own monkeys The cops and clergy inside become dirty Even heads in the TV set that like to bring you the news Don't pay attention to the storm around you It’s just the same one that’s always found you Let the others do the crying about the rain Get struck by lightning and wash themselves away Let the others do the crying about the rain Get struck by lightning and wash themselves away …wash the tears away

Gravity by Syne Wave Stand your ground…now! I can’t tell myself, no… I can’t tell myself… this lie Every picture screen, sells me my reality I can’t save myself, no… I can’t save myself… this time All that’s shown to me, tells me how I must believe now Nothing says that this will be all right There’s no alibi, for this apathy We must rise up far beyond this light We must realign, to our gravity …Stand your ground …now! I can’t fix myself, no… I can’t fix myself… no more Every word I hear, echoes all there is to fear I can’t help myself, no… I can’t help myself… what for All these fantasies, slowly they will disappear now Nothing says that this will be all right There’s no alibi, for this apathy We must rise up far beyond this light We must realign, to our gravity …Stand your ground …now! Rise up, stand tall, it’s not the fall, It’s where you land, when you make a stand Fall through the night, fall to the light So very lost… where we are now, The final cost… we can-not allow I can’t hold myself, no… I can’t hold myself… I try Every mirror sheen, shows me who I’ve never seen I can’t reach myself, no… I can’t reach myself… so high All that’s ever shared, no one listens anywhere now Nothing says that this will be all right There’s no alibi, for this apathy We must rise up far beyond this light We must realign, to our gravity …Stand your ground …now!

Candlelight Familiar 05:06

Candlelight Familiar by Syne Wave I watch the details fade, into the background, And in the haze I see, the candle on the bar Flickering like the eye, of my familiar guarding me From the danger of life from which, I struggle to be free I grip my glass my surviving refuge, A shield from the pain, (mmm, mmm, mm-mmm) Numbing my senses, searching my soul, Searching my conscience, hiding myself Oh, in this mortal deluge Passing another drink, while I’m passing my time Passing my life away, committing my social crime Drowning my sorrows, drowning in solitude Waiting for the end, with my familiar I grip my glass my surviving refuge, A shield from the pain, (mmm, mmm, mm-mmm) Numbing my senses, searching my soul, Searching my conscience, hiding myself Oh, in this mortal deluge I see the wave rising, to drown the flame Another drink, another social suicide Fighting my way out of this mortal playground Watching myself slipping slowly away See the past and the present together The dark of the night overtaking the day I step out through the door, into the neon twilight. Regretting the empty hours, of another wasted night Vowing to get control, vowing to stop at last Another empty promise, with another empty glass

Comets by Syne Wave Floating like ashes In an empty space We wait for our moment That we can pick up the pace We are drawn to the light And we don't put up a fight Waiting for our moment That we can, outshine the night Oh, it's such a long way to go But it's even, a further way home We leave a trail that shines so bright But it's really cold, as ice We leave our cloud behind Quicken our trip through time Hope we don't lose our way Cuz some giant, pulled us away Oh, it's such a long way to go But it's even, a further way home We leave a trail that shines so bright But it's really cold, as ice Floating like ashes In a weightless grace We wait for our moment That we can end this race Oh, it's such a long way to go But it's even, a further way home We leave a trail that shines so bright But it's really cold, as ice

This Hour by Syne Wave Intercept it, heed the day, intersect it, to affect it Intellect it, all the way, resurrect it Look to the sky, crimson as the white of lies Unveil the shadow to reveal, ooh-yeah Look to the heart, darkness has it split along irony There’s never truth when nothing’s real This great divide is spreading wide across these social lines A chasm well beyond the light, far out of sight There’s little time here, living on the edge of fear This hour needs to be profound, so, lay it down Yeah, lay it down Aaaa!… hey, hey!... ooh, yeah… hooh! Intercept it, heed the day, intersect it, to protect it Intellect it, all the way, resurrect it Look in the mind, deeper than the lapse of time Concede the omen by design, oh-yeah Look through the fire, twilight has it held upon mystery There’s no more love where nothing feels This great divide is spreading wide across these social lines A chasm well beyond the light, far out of sight There’s little time here, living on the edge of fear This hour needs to be profound, so, lay it down Yeah, lay it down Revering pain will warp the space Days gone by arrive Heaven’s gate is left to waste The word most heard survives The heart is rift along this fate So cross the bridge no time to wait This great divide is spreading wide across these social lines A chasm well beyond the light, far out of sight There’s little time here, living on the edge of fear This hour needs to be profound, so, lay it down Yeah, lay it down

Left Behind by Syne Wave Magical dreams and shiny things Trophies of triumphs for all to see Pictures and statues pleasing the eye Reflecting upon how they came to be Standing in line, waiting a turn Clicking a picture, watching the door Bartering shrewdly, the ultimate deal Making our lives, better than before Filling spaces with trivial things Once upon needed, now discarded debris Belongings that held, a life of new meaning Now clutter up lives, not setting them free Fill the void and vacant spaces, try to feel complete inside Justified to bear the daily grind A token sparks a fading memory, people and places from past lives What once was needed, again, is left behind Images of scenes from faraway lands An autographed book from a writer we love Vintage relics being found by chance Discarded from some lost treasure trove Building collections, of many things Not having meaning, in present life Later it seems, the moments are brief Pulled into action by the same old lies Filling spaces with trivial things Once upon needed, now discarded debris Belongings that held, a life of new meaning Now clutter up lives, not setting them free Fill the void and vacant spaces, try to feel complete inside Justified to bear the daily grind A token sparks a fading memory, people and places from past lives What once was needed, again, is left behind Do you remember? Do you? Do you? Do you remember? Do you? Do you? Filling spaces with trivial things Once upon needed, now discarded debris Belongings that held, a life of new meaning Now clutter up lives, not setting them free

Angel Song by Syne Wave I once gazed upon an angel She was able to mend a broken heart She smiled at me but I turned away So high above me and yet so far away There must be so much strife In her busy humble life And everybody needs her love and attention So they try to make some kind of connection It seems to me she can breathe in life When she walks she shines a golden light I feel her move me in so many different ways I’d like to reach her but I’ve not the words to say There must be so much strife In her busy humble life And everybody needs her love and attention So they try to make some kind of connection There must be so much strife In her busy humble life And everybody needs her love and attention So they try to make some kind of connection

After working together just shy of two years now and persevering through a pandemic, which forced us to finish our work remotely, we produced our debut album, Function Over Form.

We are looking to spread the word and get people listening as much as possible as we get ready to get back out to get people excited again about live music.

We have some awesome Live Action Lyric videos on our YouTube channel. Be sure to check them out.
