You said that they don’t know what you’re about, When you’re holding out by yourself, When the lines of time have come. Last night you tried to tell me about, Everything that holds you to yourself, Everything that fills your eyes! BUT they’re asking you ******* Is there a face on the sun, Is there something come undone ******* So they wait,so they wait, so they wait for you to call, To come apart from the lies, In the histories of time. And see that you’re here, that you’re here all alone, And everything is the same In this time of the past! ******** Is there something they have done, is there something wrong with them ******** So take, these theories in your head and wait for them to shed When all of this is done and all of this is GONE!
2.
Watch out for complications In the time that your holding when you’re lying in your beds at night. And look out for tendencies In the lives that you’re feeling when you’re standing in the light of day. ****** Cause she feels alone when you sit by her And you feel alone when she sits by you Talking about the things you want You feel as though they’re close But you feel the pain again Cause there’s a KILLER IN THE WORLD, in the world and it wants to find you, it’s already in you And there’s a KILLER IN THE WORLD, in the world and it wants to find you, it’s already in you ****** So wait now for everything That lies around you when you’re sleeping When you wake from the shades of grey ****** So leave her here and make up once again And leave them here and make up once again

PARIS IS BURNING THE LIES ARE TURNING PARIS IS BURNING THE LINES ARE BLURRING WELL PARIS IS BURNING WITH THE FRIGHT OF A TIME THAT COMES FOR US TONIGHT PARIS IS BURNING FROM THIS FIGHT OF THE LINES OF MEN THAT RULE WITH MIGHT ***** THEY SEE THE BARRICADE AND RUN TO HOLD THE LINE THEY CHANT THEIR SLOGANS AND RAISE THEIR HANDS TO SIGHN CAUSE PARIS IS BURNING TO THE BARRICADE ******* PARIS IS BURNING THE LIES ARE TURNING PARIS IS BURNING THE LINES ARE BLURRING WELL PARIS IS BURNING WITH DELIGHT FOR A PASSION THAT COMES WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT PARIS IS BURNING WITH A LIGHT OF A KNOWLEDGE THAT IS OUT OF SIGHT ******* THEY SEE THE......... ******* I GOT A TICKET FROM THIS UNDERGROUND AND I'M WAITING!!!!!! *******

Still Alive 05:02
Some make the garden and some they make the final case. And others touch the face of all the men in space. So call upon it now as we go walking on. As we hope to find the favor for this human race! ****** And I see you here and I know that you’re still ALIVE And I see you here and I know that you’re still ALIVE Still alive in time of doubt. ****** Some have fallen now and some have resin up. And others cry as they try to sip this cup. So call upon the things that you’ve heard before As you hope to find the favor for this human race! ****** It’s time to take up where you’re from It’s time to feel from what you’ve done And take the back roads to the line. *and see the hour that’s to come* And Your Still, And Your Still, And Your Still, ALIVE!

How could you ever be, lost inside my eyes and why can’t you ever see everything that cries. You’ve taken all your days apart and left them in the cold outside. You’ve lost all the reason to, answer all these lies. *So why can’t you see me, I’m waiting by the ocean *and why can’t you feel me I’m sitting by the ocean. and I wait,wait,wait, wait till the light of day ****** And I can never understand, what’s calling you to life What’s calling you to die, I’ve seen your eyes and it’s over, it’s over ****** Well How could you ever be, lost inside my eyes and why can’t you ever see everything that dies. *So why can’t you see me, I’m waiting by the ocean *and why can’t you feel me I’m sitting by the ocean. ****** Your only falling deeper Your always falling deeper Your only falling deeper, deeper Your always falling deeper ******
6.
Well shapes of things are telling stories Counting down this age of glory Lining up the time when we’ll see And the angles of your hidden sires Circles round this ring of fire Squaring all the depths of this fate ****** So GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT when they’re calling You can’t understand, that’s why we’re falling And GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT when they’re calling You can’t understand who is making this fire, this fire, this fire,this fire! ****** In the darkest night of hidden desires They wait for you in a ring of fire Making all the lines that you’ll see So go outside to where they’re lying take they’re hand and feel this dying Waiting for the state of your fate ****** OOOH THIS FIRE WOO OOH OOH THIS FIRE!

Twentytwelve 03:35
Well you’re checking the world for another sign For this last one that you’ll ever know Cause it’s TWENTY TWELVE and they’re not feeling well But you don’t know why they’re seeing hell! And you’re searching you’re mind for another time For this last face that you’ll ever see Cause it’s TWENTY TWELVE and they’ve seen it now But you don’t know why they’re seeing hell! ****** So Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All what you know Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All what you see! Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All what you know Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All, Tell Them All what you see! ****** So they’re facing us down to another hand To this last show that we’ve got to know And it’s TWENTY TWELVE and you’re feeling well And you’d rather die than stay in hell! ****** And go out to, the distant thoughts, of memories, that wait for you! And go out to, the distant thoughts, of memories, that wait for you! Cause it’s coming out!!!! ****** And it’s coming out, and it’s coming out,and it’s coming out ........

The Order 04:44
She walks on the walls of the order And carries me over her shoulder She waits for the last of the mighty And asks for the one that’s forgotten And she’s going, she’s going, she’s going away from us And she’s taken, she’s taking, she’s taking the last x2 ****** But why does she hesitate to, unlock this final gate And why does she turn around when you, Ask for the final sound Is There nothing forever, can’t seem to stop and remember Is there nothing forever, that’s what she asked of me ****** I wait in the halls of the order And crawl down of her shoulders I turn to the last of the mighty and ask to the one that’s forgotten Is she going, going, going away with us She’s taken, taken, taken the last Is she going, going, going away with us She’s taken, taken, taken the last ******
She waits for me, She waits for us Cause she’s going, and she’s taken x2

Futurewave 03:43
Take the fires and the walking ties , and the people that you’ve already been And show them how you’re going to make them all the same. And watch the one with the shinning eyes, that takes you down to the burning place, and face, the calling of this race ****** Cause our Love can only go so far Till we realize and our love can only go so far Till we see these lies ****** Listen now as the traffic turns, And the lights go out from the things they want, And tell them all that they can never do the same And watch the one......... ****** Watch them when they run and hide As this futurewave is on the rise

Pillars 04:20
Crashing down on us with the answer to this time Is a fate that wait for everyone that’s not awake Casualties are falling as they cry for mothers home The ancient rivers run threw all the lands they roam And tears are falling from the sky, Answers are calling out this time, this time Can you tell that they are watching everything you do And now they’re asking what it is that you’re going to do Cause tears are falling from the sky Answers are calling you to...... ****** RISE! from the ashes of the living And don’t go out tomorrow when the faces turn to sorrow And look for all these answers that your license does behold Cause I don’t know why we’re all watching the same thing And I don’t know why we’re all waiting for the same thing Trading all our lives for these PILLARS of despair ****** Crashing down on us with the answer to this time Can you tell that they have taken everything from you The clock is set, The wager’s made The HAWK is coming for these answers that you’ve made ******

about

Romance's debut full length album THE DIVIDE recalls many of the sweet spots of post-punk hits from the late '70s and early "80s. The band cites its main influences as bands from that time and uses them to great effect.
They released "The Divide" in 2009 and it quickly climbed to number one on the North West music charts for KEXP. The single "Face On The Sun" was also chosen as the song of the day on KEXP. Romance has toured extensively and have played many high profile gigs, including opening for The Chameleons, Peter Murphy, Sisters Of Mercy and playing the SXSW and Bumbershoot festivals.

Instrumentation

Drew Jackson - Vocals/Guitar
Mike Ribagin - Bass
