lyrics
VII
Am I? Or was I ever? Alive
Has the twilight? Always blinded my eyes?
Is change really in the air?
Or is there nothing there?
Soon, it will all melt away.
In the moon-shine-light of the day
And if change is ever gonna come,
Let it leave me numb.
Let, let it be known
If my heart stops? And I’m cold to the bone ~
No answer will ever be found
As they carry me down
What? What is my name?
Tell me! Why, I’ve forgotten my name!
Paralyzed as I watched it fading away!
Oh my god! No! It’s taken my name!

Grey Matter is really doing something that no other band is doing. Ska (I know, stay with me) + Jazz + Hardcore and a little bit of something else entirely. Lansing MI based RENT STRIKE
The first time I saw Peter play, we had already been friends for a couple months. I cried listening to him, for everyone else I've met whose gifts I didn't know. RENT STRIKE
