Night Habits - So Many Lights The cover art perfectly captures what the mood this album evokes. It's the perfect soundtrack to driving around the city at night; most likely when it's raining. Maybe you just had a hearbreak, maybe you just need to get away, maybe you're anxious about the future, or maybe you're reminiscing about the good old days and desire to return to them. Or maybe you didn't feeling any one particular way or another and just need to get into your car and drive into the night. Whatever reason you feel the need to drive, So Many Lights is the perfect music to take with you. There's a certain feeling that everyone gets that just simply gnaws at their soul.

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.
