There's a clothesline separating worlds.
Choose bravery over balance.
And run into the open arms of the fall.
You fell at once at least you fell at all.
Reset and play it back again.
Choose balance over bravery.
And standing centered on the line...
Turned to stone
Where you froze is where you'll stay all alone.
And when, when they all fell in line.
He Left line to walk the wire
There's a clothesline separating worlds.
Runs off in all directions.
For the few that reach the other side,
Look alive.
You made it out but did you make it right?
And when, when they all fell in line.
He Left line to walk the wire.
High above it all...
Inch across in width...
Windswept at the end...
Paces left to go.

You & Your Tell

Im sick of falling for the bait and ruse.
Ambushed and caught off guard.Then abused.
I'm setting a reversed snare with poison flies
Attractive, decadent with sparkling eyes.
We know more than you think that we know.
The last in line, the first to call the liars.
Till we've drawn out the comparison.
The last in line, the first to call the liars.
You came expecting what?
You had a plan.
Following the poison flies into their den.
Caught by the glimmer of their sparkling eyes.
The last trap you'll ever set has set you in.
We know more than you think that we know.
The last in line, the first to call the liars.
Till we've drawn out the comparison.
The last in line, the first to call the liars.

Started out well intentioned.
With each swell a second guess.
Until it's all consuming
And it never ends.
I feel alright to sail in time.
It's opening up
How intense the exposure,
With each pass through thicker glass.
Out of mind, out of patience
And it never ends.
I feel alright to sail in time.
It's opening up

Stood alone and watched the settling dust.
As the calls in the wind siphoned off.
Not a one with a pulse would cross my way.
And I've felt in the dark for so long.
When the lights go off they're one for their own
They'll say what they say.
Well see what they say when lights all go out at once.
Found a way to make conversation with myself.
And I've found I'm much better alone.
I feel and hear sharper since I've been lost.
Can i stay unfound?
When the lights go off they're one for their own.
They'll say what they say.
We'll see what the say lights all go out at once.
Felt around and found an open door
Though I swear it was locked and much colder before.
Been a while.
Or has it been?
If they're on then I cant pretend.
When the lights go off they're one for their own.
They'll say what they say.
We'll see what they say when lights all go out at once.

Would you say we've met?
You look like me.
But with different clothes...
And so it goes.
Back Down Brother.
You might.Yeah you might.
Could you see what I'm hiding.
Back Down Brother.
You might. Yeah you might.
If you could you see what I'd send out.
The new ones.
It'll change it all.
They're standing it of on thin ground.
It'll fix it all.
If it's left at all.
I've seen this escalate at alarming pace.
A shame - we could be friends.
If not for this.
Back Down Brother.
You might.Yeah you might.
Could you see what I'm hiding.
Back Down Brother.
You might. Yeah you might.
If you could you see what I'd send out.
The new ones.
It'll change it all.
They're standing it of on thin ground.
It'll fix it all.
If it's left at all.
Back down brother, you might.
Yeah you might.
Could you see what I have
Behind my back in case.
Send out the new ones.
It'll change it all.
They're standing it of on thin ground.
It'll fix it all
If it's left at all.

Monuments

It's buried deep.
We marked it with an X and walked away together.
And over where we left what's left,
there grew a tribute to what we made together.
With any luck we'll turn this back around.
Get back to the starting of what we once had found.
And when we do we'll hold our heads up high.
It's taken ruins to get here...
Monuments take time.
I know.
Before you plaster over the walls...
Look through the open window first.
There's beauty in the bruise.
With any luck, we'll grow from underground.
And take our first steps away from where we're safe and sound.
With every step we'll hold our heads up high.
Its taken ruins to get here.
Monuments take time.
I know.
Before you plaster over the walls
Look through the open window first.
There's beauty in the bruise.
It's over now.
We marked it with an X,
And walked away again.

Polarizer Chicago, Illinois
Chicago quintet Polarizer creates what they call “loud, spacey epic rock,” combining heavy walls of sound with echo-laden, introspective passages and progressive-rock sensibilities.
Polarizer recommends:
Samples of Delirium is the last album from Arma (featuring Polarizer members Taylor, Ben, & Ian). Ian joined right as this album was released, & the three formed Polarizer 10 months later.
