about

Static Reactions is the latest full-length release from Boston's Cold Expectations and represents their new direction in sound and songwriting.

lyrics

Can you feel the distance in these empty eyes
Can you tell a cigarette from a firefly
As it burns a hole through the moon
Can you be the hammer in my heart
When it don’t beat right
Or will you be the stumble to my fall
The bark to my bite
Can you feel the distance
The space where no one’s listenin’
Screaming at the wall
It’s all a muted call a false alarm
Lately I’ve been changing like a traffic light
Pickin’ all the poisons ‘til I get one right
And somewhere in the distance there’s a loon
Stolen, like an ocean takes its’ bride
On a beach we hide
Singing our last summer’s lullaby
More seeds then rind
Can you feel the distance
Words lost among the whisperin’
Is it only in my head
Evidence an empty bed
And empty arms
As restless as dust
As hollow as a hurricane
The pictures we drew
Now hang in a broken frame
We eclipsed the night
Dying to be new again
But our arms don’t stretch as far
Hearts don’t beat as loud as before
Can you feel the distance
The emptiness of wishes
Been folded like a shirt
Told it wouldn’t hurt
But they were wrong
Can you feel the distance
When you’re cleaning up the dishes
A table set for one
Dying like a sun
The day is done
A table set for one
Dying like a sun
The day is done
