Still Life Lyrics

woke up slow this morning to quiet walls and a sunlight flood.
this place it seems so empty
and everything except for this wait has left me.
try not to dwell on this time.
how long can it last?
hold your breath and close your eyes.
the pain will pass.
try to rise above the distance of all that you want
and soon you'll know the why.
why and for what.
for the sake of a love like no other.
for something we've never known.
for the hope of another chance at happiness.
we forsake.
i've watched the colors fade where windows cast their shape.
the same way i have changed in the light of these dark days.
i believe in happiness and in love that never fails
but the longer i wait here the more they just seem like a fairy tale.
i need you to save me.
you seem beyond a stones throw.
helpless hands tied.
i try but this garden's overgrown on the inside.
try to rise above the distance of all that i want and remember the why.
why and for what

Brandtson was an indie rock band that formed in 1996 in Cleveland, Ohio and disbanded in 2008. It was originally a side project for Myk Porter, the vocalist of the hardcore band, Six Feet Deep. Porter got his friend Jared Jolley to play drums in the band. Soon thereafter, Six Feet Deep broke up and Brandtson became a full-time band with the addition of Matt Traxler, also of Six Feet Deep, on guitar and John Sayre on bass. Their first release was on Traxler's indie label, Steadfast Records and was entitled, Letterbox. A year later it was re-released by Deep Elm Records. The band went on to release the Let's Call It A Day seven inch on Velvet Blue Music and also had a song on Volume Two of the Emo Diaries compilation. In 1999 Deep Elm put out Fallen Star Collection and it was followed by the Trying to Figure Each Other Out EP in 2000. Deep Elm also put out the "Dial in Sounds" album in 2002 and the "Death and Taxes" EP in 2003. In 2004, the band switched to The Militia Group for the release of "Send us a Signal". Over the course of these years, the band toured North America, Europe, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong. Sayre left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Furnace St.'s Adam Boose, who also added in some electronic manipulation of their sound. Their latest release, "Hello, Control" was released in May of 2006.

In 2007 Myk shared new music from his solo project entitled May This House Be Safe From Tigers on MySpace. Since breaking up, Porter, Traxler, Boose, and Sayre have resurfaced in a new band called Swarm of Bats Read more on Last.fm.
