Stay Intact

It’s a stalemate, it’s a lie
It’s an about face, another try
It’s a false step, it’s a mishap
A devolution, a total collapse
But let’s stay intact - all the way down
Intact - and not drown in the deep end
Not sleep till we’ve found our way back
Intact - let’s vow to believe it
No need to play it fast
We’re gonna make it last
Long as we stay intact
It’s a forfeit, it’s a descent
It’s a cloudburst, it’s almost the end
It’s a stalemate, it’s a lie
It’s an about face, a total decline

That's Not a Bad Idea

Try not to think, it only makes it worse
Try not to blink, it’s gone then you can’t see it
Try to deny that you’re in reverse, that’s not a bad idea
Try not to slip, it only slows you down
Try not to quit, it’s wrong but you can’t leave it
Try to believe you’re gonna turn around, that’s not a bad idea
Again and again you try to understand
But then the night falls, and you lie wide awake
You’re so tired of it all, gotta do whatever it takes
To try to believe it’s alright, that’s not a bad idea

I Credit You

It was a long October
And starting over seemed a last resort
But when all you know inside disappears before your eyes
It can chill you to the core
And I was fated to pretend
To masquerade until I reached the end
My destiny
But I credit you for saving me
It was a cold December
Knowing it would never be the same
And it’s so hard to let go, to change everything you know
When your heart gets in the way

Reset, Reinvent
02:52

I won’t obsess on all that’s gone
Still have the feeling that it’s not too late
Time catches up before too long
I do confess too much has slipped away
Reset, reinvent!
Tip the scales, jump the rails
This is not over yet
Reset, reinvent!
Living this routine too long
The hour hand seems really fast these days
Hell, you blink and it’s gone
You drew the lines, now watch them fade away
I won’t rewind, I won’t regress
So damn tired of the discontent
This is not the end

Break Me
02:52

I can’t forget, begin to end I remember when we were two
I have regrets, words left unsaid. you felt misled and withdrew
I must confess, I was so spent, my knees were bent and bruised for you
Now it seems so far
from when we were two
I try to hide the scars
but can’t escape the truth
I can’t forget, begin to end I remember when we were two
I can’t pretend to understand or comprehend what to do
I can’t pretend, and I can’t forget you
I can’t pretend to understand or comprehend what to do
But in the end, I will contend
You never meant for what you’d do to break me

Bad Breakup

Don’t know how we ended up together again
We had a real bad breakup
After you had left and all the shit that was said
I never thought we’d make up
All that was stupid then, is still stupid now
How could I mistake it
It’s why we ended up the way we started out
And I don’t wanna explain it all again
It’s been a bad breakup
It’s been a bad breakup like before
Why do I hear you pound, pounding at my door
I thought I told you not to come around anymore
It’s what you get for making the same mistakes
The second verse - the same verse as the first
And that’s fuckin’ lame

Shiny Giant Mountain Top, Pennsylvania
Shiny Giant is a band that records its music the old fashioned way - LIVE - or at least as live a duo is capable of. Individual tracks are recorded from start to finish with no edits, direct into an old Zoom 16 track recorder. So if you like huge, big-budget production, this probably isn't the music for you. If you like energetic basement rock, you may have come to the right place! ... more
