Dreams 04:33
Dreams never meant that much to me Tick them off follow me Happiness doesn’t come on lists Now you seem dead too me An obvious choice of rag and bone Rather then a bluer sea Forget those inclines and retreat Let the birds fly free Fly free , Fly free The silver shows a real smile I don’t hunt for that no more To gouge away was my thing To burn one down is my cure My cure Stranded on your beach Lap me up in your sea Stranded on your beach Lap me up in your sea Dreams never meant, Dreams never meant Dreams never meant, Dreams never meant Dreams never meant, Dreams never meant Dreams never meant that much to me Dreams never meant, Dreams never meant Dreams never meant that much to me Dreams never meant that much to me Tick them off follow me Happiness doesn’t come on lists Now you seem dead too me

Glow 05:19
Replace these bones change your ways Skeleton moves flesh remains I’m your model sculpt me and I will please , and I will please I glow in your dark I shadow your light Multiply in water I’m your day you’re my night Chew through what’s left Get to the taste a flavor I crave a flavor I crave Some subtleties I try and embrace How long must I wait, how long must I wait And I’ll oil you another day oil you away The words on my lips but I have nothing to say Oil you another day the rust it decays The wizard has my heart you say And I delve so far so far as I begin Attempting to find some clarity within I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world A velocity I try define These impure minds Il make you mine I am jacks right hand A velocity I try define These impure minds Il make you mine I am jacks right hand Replace these bones change your ways Skeleton moves flesh remains I’m your model sculpt me and I will please and I will please I glow in your dark I shadow your light Multiply in water I’m your day you’re my night And I’ll oil you another day oil you away The words on my lips but I have nothing to say Oil you another day the rust it decays The wizard has my heart you say I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world I glow in dark shadow your light That’s how it goes in my world

Panther 05:59
As she grieves I go hunting for something there Panther sleeps as I lay and pretend to care Pretend to care Pretend to care pretend to care An instinct kicks to fill my glass This is how its how I pass From tap to grasp smile to laugh Unravel the past and make it last Languid minds move in time placid lives they drift on by As she grieves I go hunting for something there Panther sleeps as I lay and pretend to care Pretend to care Pretend to care pretend to care Seeking bliss and we invoke The time is now to cut my throat She’s hidden still with a secret hope I’m tied to regret as I sink with the load Languid minds they move in time Placid lives they drift on by They drift on by As she grieves I go hunting for something there Panther sleeps as I lay and pretend to care Pretend to care Pretend to care pretend to care Languid minds they move in time Placid lives they drift on by Languid minds they move in time Placid lives they drift on by Move me subtly frustration screams through me Move me subtly frustration screams through me An instinct kicks to fill my glass This is how its how I pass From tap to grasp smile to laugh Unravel the past and make it last Languid minds move in time placid lives they drift on by As she grieves I go hunting for something there Panther sleeps as I lay and pretend to care Pretend to care Pretend to care pretend to care

about

"Asio’s Eyes’ second EP showcases their enveloping psychedelic indie sound with three songs. It's full of appealingly glum atmosphere and intelligent musicianship. ‘Once A Dream Did Weave A Shade’ is an example of a young band with a firm confidence in itself, sounding fully-formed already. They use their influences as a springboard onto interesting new things rather than just copying them outright, making for music which is mellow, tripped-out and not quite so downbeat that it doesn’t allow itself some moments of euphoria."
