Name: Around The Bend
Duration: P00H03M34S
Description: Around the Bend. The first new music from Strata in over a year.

lyrics

Goodnight, sleep tight,
keep dreaming, everything’s alright.
Believe what you need - if it’s good for your peace of mind.

I lie awake staring at the ceiling trying to fight the feeling something really bad’s about to happen.
I’ve got this crippling anxiety riding me, fighting inside of me, while society’s rioting.

Something’s coming ‘round the bend,
something savage, something tragic,
something’s coming ‘round the bend.
Is this the end?
Coming ‘round the bend.

Heart racing, chest pains,
don’t say it’s only in my mind.
Close my eyes tight - hate how this happens every night.

I lie awake staring at the ceiling trying to fight the feeling something really bad’s about to happen.
I’ve got this crippling anxiety riding me, fighting inside of me, while society’s rioting.

Something’s coming ‘round the bend,
something savage, something tragic,
something’s coming ‘round the bend.
Is this the end?
I’ve got this sick uneasy feeling something’s coming ‘round the bend.

Good night, sleep tight,
keep dreaming everything’s alright…
Keep dreaming everything’s alright.

Or was the first half of 2020 just a warm up? ... more

Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020). The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time. So hearing KSE always reminds me of him,r.i.p. Jesse leach is an amazing vocalist and lyricist,howard too. love 'em both. Adam is a genius period. Mike's an amazing drawer/artist and bass player. Joel and justin are rythm legends,scott (old drummer i think)was a beast too. God bless you KSE cheers from France thejusticemetalsword
