these last few days we stayed awake through an empire we drive from state to state we never wait for long only echos of a past life working harder than we ever did for a little less than we should get it keeps me honest working harder than we ever did through dusty haze and blacktop lanes getting faster going nowhere all the same a little taste of fun all we needed was the moonlight working harder than we ever did for a little less than we should get it keeps me honest working harder than we ever did awake and winning a race to end it

Crazy Dreams 02:57
with the oceans rising past the tide walking wounded all our lives we do not give a damn we can't be monetized we're frozen like deer in headlights i've been having crazy dreams where I remember every detail to a t another sign from somewhere else we talk in circles on and on watching movement from beyond when the moment is right they'll strike between the eyes when we're frozen like deer in headlights i've been having crazy dreams where I remember every detail to a t another sign from somewhere else look away we can't be all watching someone give in

i gotta stick with it it's effective when i figure it all out you will see me dissecting everything slightly if you and me give up it's likely the fuel you need can't be provided no we won't give up the fight so easy it's expected we're tearing each other apart with icepicks pierced through your little heart but you and me we're nothing like that don't you agree? we're nothing like that no we won't give up the fight so easy

go head and spit it out don't let it rot in your mouth you're always grinding your teeth the feeling's such a relief if you're not hearing something there's a reason 'cause I'm not saying much so let's be clear to get ahead you've got to be a motherfucking machine intent on killing just count the bodies and see that no one gets ahead monuments and crosses marking all the graves in crooked lines nothing can save us from the fear they're pumping into your ear it's buried under your skin the thought that you'll never win if you're not hearing something there's a reason 'cause I'm not saying much so let's be clear to get ahead you've got to be a motherfucking machine intent on killing just count the bodies and see that no one gets ahead monuments and crosses marking all the graves in crooked lines nothing can save us

about

"It's angry, it's paranoid, it didn't get enough sleep," said singer/guitarist Joe Philips, of Baetyl. "...it drank too much coffee. It got up and did it again. It's a reflection."

Recorded with Adam Cox in the library of a decommissioned public school in Southwest Detroit, Baetyl, Touch the Cloud's third release, was recorded in ten hours on a weird, wild, inspirational Saturday afternoon in mid­2014. Mixed by Derik Lee, it was recorded live with limited overdubs and several lyrics written on the spot. Philips credits Dan Coutant's "fastidious and accurate mastering...He provided a marvelous sanding and lacquer coat to (Lee)'s sculpture."

Touch the Clouds harness the heavy yet melodic vibes of 90's Alternative Rock, with a sound that’s as layered as space­ rock, but also as caustic and quick­-cutting as post­-hardcore.
feat. members of Few and Far Between, Lovesick, King For A Day, and more.
