Lyrics:

Drowned in a sea that nobody sees
The lines in your face are still language to me
Our vessel is time, we do what we wish
but I would still kill for yet one more kiss

Ageless cries and glimmering rings

Beckoning visions and salt in our eyes
The emerald still water the wind of the wise

Tasteless mouths with dark onyx jewels

and the strangest eyes of sapphire blue
that carry me
but that means nothing to you

Aimless steel arrows that steal only lives
and altered silk robes how they once were a prize
Love still a memory bleak in disguise
Burning like flames that consume the inside

Hateful minds with ruby red hues

Buried within a sinister sneer
with sterile compassion for even your peers

Grateful hands with iron clad chains

and the patient cries of ivory towers that carry me
but I'll never be free

Wasted Wine vs. The Hypnosis Center takes listeners on a mind-bending trip through a surreal, decaying alternate-reality American South. An aural collage of gloom and humor, elegance and off-kilter sensibilities, home recordings and found sounds, Wasted Wine‘s album will change your perception of what is possible from a small-town recording project in the Deep South. The vaguely conceptual album doubles as an oblique commentary on the band’s experience with the music industry.
