Embed: A victim of hands gone idle
"Black rings in the water,"
An ever burning candle
"I wrote your name in the dust
Where the spirit was!"

All the ones you know you love
Go right back where they started from
All my gardens back to dust
Staring back up at the sun

"Please, please, please, please
Let me look away."
"Please, please, please, please
Let me look away."

You look the same
But half dead and acting your age
I was embraced, asphyxiated
And taking on my shape


I feel like a sketch of a perfect circle
"Light still leaks in,"
A victim of hands gone idle
"Black rings in the water,"
An ever burning candle
"I wrote your name in the dust
Where the spirit was!"Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Spirit Was Lyrics

I'm at a wake
And drawing a geometric shape
You slept on the train
But I've been up for days

You look the same
But half dead and acting your age
I was embraced, asphyxiated
And taking on my shape

I feel like a sketch of a perfect circle
"Light still leaks in,"
A victim of hands gone idle
"Black rings in the water,"
An ever burning candle
"I wrote your name in the dust
Where the spirit was!"

All the ones you know you love
Go right back where they started from
All my gardens back to dust
Staring back up at the sun

"Please, please, please, please
Let me look away."
"Please, please, please, please
Let me look away."

You look the same
But half dead and acting your age
I was embraced, asphyxiated
And taking on my shape


I feel like a sketch of a perfect circle
"Light still leaks in,"
A victim of hands gone idle
"Black rings in the water,"
An ever burning candle
"I wrote your name in the dust
Where the spirit was!"

LVL UP is guitarists Mike Caridi and Dave Benton, bassist Nick Corbo, and drummer Greg Rutkin and is a true collaboration, a band that takes the stylistically distinct ideas of four members and brings them together into something new. Caridi, Benton, and Corbo write and sing equally, bringing their work to the group to be fully realized, resulting in an album built on different perspectives but a common drive.

LVL UP was formed in 2011 at SUNY Purchase as a recording project between Caridi, Benton, and their friend Ben Smith, with the original intention of releasing a split cassette with Corbo’s then-solo material. They instead released that album, Space Brothers, as one band, and Rutkin joined shortly afterward for the group’s first show. Smith left the band for personal reasons just before the release of second album Hoodwink’d, a joint release on Caridi and Benton’s label Double Double Whammy and Exploding in Sound. DDW also put out records from other artists in the tight-knit community that launched the band.

Also part of that university community was Return to Love’s producer Mike Ditrio, who mixed LVL UP’s previous records and “was basically a fifth member of the band,” says Corbo. “He played a huge role in developing the sound, without butting in too much. He also navigated our personal dynamic really nicely. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
