No one ever knew that you were dying inside No one ever saw your blackest dream Clouds can’t catch you when you’re falling No one’s gonna hear you scream inside your head You little deviant thing Just try to fit inside this box Pain killers Joy-juice on the rocks I painted the outside with rainbows and daffodils Just take your happy pills Everything’s fine Everything’s fine…

You live in reality And when you close your eyes at night you see the imaginary Now let’s imagine for a minute that I am just the opposite In my dreams I reach you But when I wake up I am just a phantom You can’t see me I can’t feel a thing You’ve got me trapped like a ghost inside my head You’ve got me suffocating in my bed So sing me a lullaby As I gasp for air Why don’t you sing me goodbye? Don’t make me lie here in your silence In your silence Why don’t you sing me goodbye As I die You live in a pretty dream house And when you step outside Well, that’s your life so you’re making it count Now let’s imagine for a minute that I am just the opposite In these walls I need you But when I reach out I am just a shadow And you walk right through You walk right through me You’ve got me trapped like a ghost inside my head You’ve got me suffocating in my bed So sing me a lullaby As I gasp for air Why don’t you sing me goodbye? Don’t make me lie here in your silence In your silence Why don’t you sing me goodbye As I die I don’t know what’s going on dear But it’s the strangest thing Sometimes I swear I feel this presence Haunting, wanting inside me And when I look in the mirror I only see vapor rise I rub my eyes I swear I’m alive Why aren’t you listening? You’ve got me trapped like a ghost inside my head You’ve got me suffocating in my bed So sing me a lullaby As I gasp for air Why don’t you sing me goodbye? Don’t make me lie here in your silence In your silence Why don’t you sing me goodbye As I die

Tourniquet 04:23
I can tell my body what to do, what to do Baby, I can tell my body what to do With the switch of a button on my brain Like a miracle I can turn the agony to nothing I’ve got a handle on my sharp pain, shuddering Blindfold, tourniquet, mind-fuck, and cauterize I can’t handle the pain Suck it up So suck it up already Ahh, exposed wire throwing sparks Oh god, I’ve got to touch it Ahh, I cut the nerves to my heart With a blunt butter knife Ahh, the pyro-fire on my skin Oh god, I’ve got to feel it Ahh, the numbing needles coming it Scratch Scratch it out I can tell my body what to do, what to do Baby, I can tell my body what to do With the switch of a button on my brain Like a miracle I can turn the agony to nothing I’ve got a handle on my sharp pain, shuddering Blindfold, tourniquet, mind-fuck, and cauterize I can’t handle the pain Suck it up So suck it up already Look at all the pretty colors of the glass Shattered on the asphalt I cut the nerves to my My bloody knees with a A dirty hack-saw Ahh, red burning brand Push it in my skin you sick little control freak Ahh, I broke the mirror with my hand Because I know which one’s the real me I can tell my body what to do, what to do Baby, I can tell my body what to do With the switch of a button on my brain Like a miracle I can turn the agony to nothing I’ve got a handle on my sharp pain, shuddering Blindfold, tourniquet, mind-fuck, and cauterize I can’t handle the pain Suck it up So suck it up already Fast expanding pupils filling up my eyes I see through the sky Hyper-active nervous-systematic fiend I feel EVERYTHING

I find it hard to keep my self control ‘cause you don’t give me any reason I’ll tell you anything you wanna know All of my dirty dark secrets So find me Oh, find me my home And then I’ll burn it down with matches ‘cause you know we shouldn’t be left alone Or we’ll make angels in its ashes Swimming distance from the shore Strap my feet and stay aboard As I face the ocean floor I will never leave this boat Water rising all around Elevates my fear to drown Still I let it pull me down ‘cause it feels better not to float I find it hard to keep myself away I’ve been known to play with fire I told myself I wasn’t gonna stay But you keep making me a liar So show me Show me how How you can turn off all emotion ‘cause you know this should end right now Or we’ll start sinking in the ocean Swimming distance from the shore Strap my feet and stay aboard As I face the ocean floor I will never leave this boat Water rising all around Elevates my fear to drown Still I let it pull me down ‘cause it feels better not to float I drink the sour and sweet like lemonade I feel the sting as you pull the bandaid I’m stuck thinking ‘bout future memories And all the ones that I let slip by me A memory for every single wasted day A memory for everything that went the wrong way A memory for every dream that I gave up A memory for every girl I never got to love I’ve got a heart that was made for polygamy An adolescent echo ripe with envy I can show you how resolve will atrophy How self destruction never really did hurt me Swimming distance from the shore Strap my feet and stay aboard As I face the ocean floor I will never leave this boat Water rising all around Elevates my fear to drown Still I let it pull me down ‘cause it feels better not to float

Dandelion 03:43
Say anything but the words I want for you to say Be mean to me You might help these feelings go away Yeah, all I need Wipe that fucking smile from off your face I hope to be treated with your malice and disdain Dandelion Moths and butterflies and bittersweet Dandelion Terrifying stance at six foot three Dandelion How’d you get your roots wrapped up on me? Dandelion You are awfully lovely for a weed Voice in my head says to the ledge “Let’s jump and fall again” Now we say goodbye to the butterflies I like that kind of pain It has dawned on me you might just like the way that ginger tastes Please pity me I’m asking you to shove it in my face Dandelion Moths and butterflies and bittersweet Dandelion Terrifying stance at six foot three Dandelion How’d you get your roots wrapped up on me? Dandelion You are awfully lovely for a weed Dandelion You are awfully lovely for a weed

Empty Shell 05:08
I saw you through the narrow tunnel-vision There was nothing else in sight Just a longing to turn potential to kinetic and escape Then an explosion of fire sent me rushing With a force the speed of light Through the surface of the skin Through the muscle To the cage where your heart was held And in a moment of rapture I was there Inside the lush red chamber Where your soul could harbor mine And the moment was so perfect I could cry Until the rhythm pounded once And then it died What have I done? That wicked gun I didn’t know of my design Beneath me fell An empty shell I was a bullet the whole time Wake up love Wake up love I only held you for a second So please resurrect All of these ashes we could rise above Wake up love…

Midnight Sun 03:24
White gun powder You just touched up your face, don’t matter You can scream much louder Now that you’re face down ‘cause it’s easier just to belong Muscles firing Electric current I can feel you trying don’t You know it’s pointless It’s just easier to play the carrion In his claws Mister Monster You’re the only one who ever threatens me Oh Mister Man You think I can’t control you but I can I’ll make you come I’ll make you come Like a moth to the midnight sun Black lace bait Now he’s watching closely Wants it wrapped around your throat Try not to choke ‘cause it’s just easier to play along White gun powder You just touched up your face, don’t matter You can scream much louder Now that you’re face down It’s just easier to play along in his game Mister Monster You’re the only one who ever threatens me Oh Mister Man You think I can’t control you but I already am I’ll make you come I’ll make you come Like a moth to the midnight sun My blue light special never fails to draw you in Mesmerizing your eyes While I crawl underneath your skin Mister Monster Mister Man You don’t know this but I know you like the fingers on my hand I’ll make you come I’ll make you come Like a moth to the midnight sun

The story of the zombie isn’t quite right There are no dead ones walking limp We are the innocent Tricked by dirty little monsters Fallen prey to their bitter hearts ‘cause someone got them in the dark And shot them in their hearts They got them in the dark And shot them in their hearts And they may be alive But they’re still dead inside Dead inside You are the undead walking the earth You said you loved me But, baby I know that you’re just hungry With your eyes wide open and your fingers tight Gripping your pistol as I scream in the night You got me in the dark And shot me in the heart You got me in the dark And shot me in the heart You made a monster And I may be alive But I’m still dead inside Dead inside I’ve got your love, baby But I want blood, baby Give me your brain, lover I’ll numb the pain for ya Over love’s cemetery the moon shines bright But there’s a stirring underneath the ground We all died from the poison of a bitter love But we eventually came around And with our fingernails carrying clumps of dirt Our hair matted and our clothes all ripped We’re gonna find some innocent unsuspecting lovers And we’ll share the poison on our lips We’re making monsters And we may be alive But we’re still dead inside Dead inside

Rewindery 03:12
Fancy a trip to the rewindery? Where everything you find will be Exactly what you want But didn’t know it was exactly what you wanted while you had it Now it’s gone Fancy a trip to the rewindery? Where everything you find will be Exactly where you left it If your memory is effective Which, in almost every case it’s really not Oh the most desirable feeling is reliving anything The way it was The way it was Wait a minute… Stop jacking all the glory and embezzling the truth You’ve got no proof But you’ve sure got some nerve don’t you baby? If you’re gonna hack it up That moral tale won’t mean shit If you’re gonna censor it Welcome to our little picture show Hi Incase you didn’t know I’m here to warn you about retro-vertigo You might get sick See, we show it like it was Take all the filters off because It seems that filthy little filter in your brain has done enough damage, dammit I’m not calling you a liar I just get the sense You open up your mouth and truth just has this way of getting bent Stop jacking all the glory and embezzling the truth You’ve got no proof But you’ve sure got some nerve don’t you baby? If you’re gonna hack it up That moral tale won’t mean shit If you’re gonna censor it Fancy a trip to the rewindery? Where everything you find will be Exactly what you want But didn’t know it was exactly what you wanted while you had it Now it’s gone Oh the most desirable feeling is reliving anything the way it was The way it was…NOT

I split myself in two Gave one to you and one to you Now What am I left with? Just a symbiotic stare It doesn’t compare It doesn’t compare to being whole So you take passion and emotion And I’ll take wisdom and be wise We could go our separate ways But within days we’ll find our way To some asylum Numbing needles in our veins I split my brain in two Gave one to you and one to you Oh, what was I thinking? While the right walks in aimless illusion Left, she knows no color Knows no dream You can take the thrill and all the wonder And I’ll take wisdom and be wise We could go our separate ways But within days we’ll find ourselves In a sweet straight-jacket embrace How many mirrors must I break? Before I only have one face? Symbiotic stare… How can we coexist with a purpose we don’t share? I split my heart in two Gave one to you and one to you Oh, what have I done now? While the right drowns in indigo Left, she grows faint As the red runs lower and lower You can take the promise of potential And I’ll take experience and pain We can go our separate ways But within minutes, within seconds We both are sure to drain and empty

Someday, My dear We’ll talk of fear like an old friend Embracing the cold sweat Impending doom of this brilliant youth The dew on the flowers will dry As hard as we try to stay the same Life is just a very long shadow My body between the sun and the ground But the eyes in the trees And the burning breeze And the finch and the sparrow will see The ground between the sun and me Someday, My dear We’ll talk of pain like the master Embracing the clenching jaw, the sharp knife Breaking bone, the shrieking cry We’ll welcome the silence that comes No more commotion in our lungs Night is just a very long shadow The east lies between the sun and the west And the stars they gleam And the bullfrogs sing And the finch and the sparrow, they sleep While the moon pulls the weight of the tides of the sea And life is just a very long shadow My body between the sun and the ground Life is just a very long shadow My body between my god and me …whoever that might be

about

My Fair Fiend's full-length sophomore album "Making Monsters" has taken the band's signature haunting and melodic sound, doused it in fuel, and lit it on fire. All the elements that one would expect still remain intact - deep storytelling lyrics that speak to very real human emotions, melodies and harmonies all over the place, a slightly progressive edge in a catchy stuck-in-your-head package - only this time the album as a whole is undeniably rock. It just has more - more edge, more groaning guitar, more raw vocals, more beefy bass, more hard hits that beg your head to bang.

about

My Fair Fiend Utah

With haunting vocal melodies floating over instrumental syncopation that dances playfully then diverges into discordant rock, My Fair Fiend displays a kind of intense fragility that is uniquely theirs.
My Fair Fiend was founded in 2013 in Orem, Utah by Callie Crofts (lead vocals/guitar/songwriting) and Zac Bryant (Drums).
