So Many Years Ago Time is not on our side anymore What was once open road is another detour Now it’s dark and I don’t know the way Just one more hour, you say ‘Til night succumbs to day Let the night explode You said so many years ago Oh how you meant it But how hard it was to hold Back when red starlight Devoured the weightless open sky All we want is to live until we’re gone Taste each moment as it slips over our tongues Feel each warm breath deep within our own lungs Let the night explode You said so many years ago Oh how you meant it But how hard it was to hold Back when red starlight Devoured the weightless open sky You made a promise That you’d live until you die The day The day succumbs Succumbs to night The day The day becomes Becomes the night The day The day succumbs Succumbs to night

Daydream 04:59
Daydream Don’t be afraid Nothing’s gonna change Don’t be afraid If you feel a little strange Don’t be afraid Everyone’s the same Don’t be afraid We’re all playing the game And no one gets out alive Come on bring it on Just like a daydream Riding on the sky Just like a daydream The future passing by Just like a daydream Burn the sun tonight Don’t be alarmed It’s just a passing phase I mean no harm We’re just caught in a daze And all of you are wrapped up In this orange haze Just like a daydream Riding on the sky Just like a daydream The future passing by Just like a daydream Burn the sun tonight How do I know I’m gonna be alright? How do I know I’ll make it through the night? And how do I know I’ll come out of this dream? I think there’s more than there used to seem You’ll be alright You’ll be alright You’ll be alright Just like a daydream Just like a daydream Just like a daydream Burn the sun tonight

As You Climb From Your Bed When the dream is finally over now And real life finally begins Pull the pictures from their walls Drop your friends and pack your things Time to make it all Happen before you are old Red days closing in The devil’s coming down the road The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed You’ve lived for years under an ocean now Writing songs and drinking beers Throwing fire at all their blank faces Trying to burn down empty stares Time to make it all Happen before you are old Red days closing in The devil’s coming down the road Hold steady, hold steady now I’m ready, I’m ready now The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through Broken through Broken through The sun has finally broken through Broken through Broken through The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed The sun has finally broken through The dark clouds hanging over you As you climb from your bed

Held On Too Long Another dream of gold Under ten feet of snow The sky grows dark and cold Hey, girl on the lawn Hey, girl looking down A hollow wooden shell Surrounds all she can’t tell A whole life framed for all time Hey, girl on the lawn Hey, girl looking down You’re all I’ve known Hey, girl on the lawn Hey, girl looking gone You held on too long I know where I’m going I’ll know when I’m there It seems like a dream That you could even care It’s just like you told me When we were young If something’s not right Then surely it’s wrong If life’s not too short Maybe it’s too long Is it better to know this Before you begin? You better not stop before you begin You better not stop before you begin You better not stop before you begin You better not stop before you begin

Cavepainter 06:47
Cavepainter Days and months collide Until the day you find You no longer care You’re hardly there Tell me you know what’s coming Tell me you know what’s coming Tell me you know what’s coming Sinking like a stone Wondering what went wrong Hoping that this time It wasn’t all for nothing I can’t have spent all this time Scratching out pointless lines I thought I’d have more to show Than scribbles on cracking stone I thought I could save my soul Have some proof I was here at all I can’t have spent all this time Scratching these pointless lines I thought I’d have more to show Some proof I wasn’t alone Tell me you know my name Tell me you feel the same I always thought these notes would bring Me closer to something Deeper than starless sky The bottomless sound inside

Not The Common Gold You took a harder way Than you were told Your gold is not The common gold

Trojan Horse 05:04
Trojan Horse Holding on with all my might To all of me Or riding high up into the night High and free Howling loudly across the sky Giving in Shatter all that you thought was right And come right in Buried lies trying hard to be told Secret lives always fight to unfold Sucking sweat from the silent air Mine to ride Stinging skin from your whipping hair Blinded eyes Howling loudly across the sky Giving in Shatter all that you know is right And come right in Buried lies trying hard to be told Secret lives always fight to unfold You call out my name From inside your shell But it’s way too late I already fell Howling loudly across the sky Giving in Shattered all that I knew was right I came right in Secret lives always fight to unfold Buried lies trying hard to be told Secret lives always fight to unfold

The Biggest Secret Yet You may turn out alright You may end up just waiting Around for something else The time may be just right Your clock just keeps on ticking On the hollow winter shelf Lights out again tonight Extinguish all the passion You held close as a child Rediscover it in chords In dusty little corners Of rooms darkened by doors Turn on the flood again Illuminate your back room Send spiders running home Through pinholes in the sky Your shadows casting shadows Your riverbeds run dry So you’ve done things on your own That you were never proud of That haunted you alone Like fighting all day long Screaming at the top of Your lungs at one you love Or turning an open hand Against the girl who held you This you never told But the biggest secret yet Will still remain unspoken Until I’m broken all the way All the way All the way All the way All the way

about

Minor Stars Chapel Hill

Minor Stars is a psych rock trio from Chapel Hill, NC. Strong songwriting meets heavy rhythms, fuzzed-out guitars, and soaring vocals to create music that bristles with energy and refuses to stand still.

It’s stadium rock for introverts, a distinctive sound that has a “wonderful kind of brutality” (Scott Solter, producer, Superchunk, The Mountain Goats, Okkervil River).
