Gonna hide my face 'cause I don't want to feel this shame All I asked for was a love so deep That was prayed for with a bleeding lip Is this what we asked for Is this what we wanted to feel oh no oh no So is this kind the kind that killed All the sisters that did give in Now we plead cause we believe What you asked for is so real so real Is this what we asked for Is this why we believe we believe in love for all the wrong reasons When love it just wants to be This love it just wants to be Is this what we asked for Is this why we care

I can't believe the things you're saying You're telling me that it's too late When all this time you've stopped believing That we could ever find a way Love is all I am living for I can't hide my pain behind a smile Take it all cause you're beautiful Better open your eyes and try I can't believe the things I'm seeing You've lost yourself you change each day And all this time I was believing You were the one to guide the way Love is all I am living for I can't hide my pain behind a smile Take it all cause you're beautiful Better open your eyes and try Love is what we wanted Love is what we needed

There's blood on the face of pain painted walls and I can't break free They Smile crooked teeth, and wink evil eyes at those who succeed. There's only one victim involved There's only one victim involved And he Smiles just like me Cries Just like me Believing the lies, we're leaving our homes I trusted your face I followed the truth but it's gone. Copper thrown sharp By faces of Sand That look just like me There's fist broken glass under my feet We came to be free There's only one victim involved There's only one victim involved And he Smiles just like me Cries Just like me Believing the lies, we're leaving our homes I trusted your face I followed the truth but it's gone. You've got to kill the preaching got to kill the preaching now There's only one victim involved There's only one victim involved And he Smiles just like me Cries Just like me Believing the lies, we're leaving our homes I trusted your face I followed the truth but it's gone.

Blue Mace 05:35
Clowns have come to save my life Without luck, without triumph Don't need counseling and all the pills don't work I need love to set me free Can I ever make a difference when I pass my pain on to the ones I love I've lived loss but nothing real All the people that dictated my worth they're all worthless freeloading no-talents who live life without a cause without us they would burn Can I ever take a crutchless walk when I've been pushed against a see-through wall Without luck we will burn I see scum that has status glorify it make god of it kind of person I believe in doesn't need me doesn't see I live strong for something real Nothing is lost Nothing is lost Loves opened up my eyes, took away the fear but they lived so far away it's never gonna stop it's never gonna stop haunting me Love is our blue mace
5.
I guess that's how it's gonna be I've got nothing left to hide But brown eyes sewn shut from lack of sleep that disgrace without a lie I guess that our worlds are gonna meet when there's nowhere left to hide withered war torn eyes will stare and fill The void that's veiled by smiles Telling me Listen up, I made the mistake I fell in love with love itself Now I wish that I had That I had shown you My darkest side is real So very real Just one more chance I promise the world to you this time. I guess that I would walk the streets that I've walked too many times Just take my soul if I should fall asleep And leave the rest, leave the rest behind With nothing to say

New Soldier 03:30
I can't find the strength to let you go You've been running around You've been asking for more Just take a look at yourself You're living life in the past The laugh lines on your face are all you have It's not enough It's not enough To get what you give You'll always want more I guess it's all the same You'll sing the song in the end You've burned the bridges in you mind and it's not real And you always smile it seems so out of place "They've got this they've got that they've got this they've got that they've got everything they need we've got nothing at all" It's not enough It's never enough to have who you have You'll always want moe There's no good signs We've lost all our time You got what you gave and now you're on your own Just shed some soul on us

Calm Awaits 03:42
Get through this together Kill for love or die alone Keep me proud forever And keep your head on straight Run away and god will forsake me Calm awaits
8.
Weekend War 04:09
The weak can be sold if people are buying They still believe that no one is lying We can confess if you want us to And we can confess that we needed you We can't be sold and we can't be biased We can be loud cause we know how This situation will never unfold The blood from my love will never run cold We can confess if you want us to And we can confess that we needed you We can confess that we wanted you But we only confessed cause we wanted to Sold pleased to spend my life with you Run she's getting away
9.
Mercury 05:26
Thought that heaven was a place on earth You've mistaken a thieving mind for art A lost soul can't be found Cannot be tamed down Sold yourself today, to the world for love So mistaken it's taken all you've got A lost soul can't be found Cannot be tamed down I'm taking on anyone who lives lies All I want is to see true love grow strong.
10.
This mind is lost I'm losing control of its thoughts at night they are drowned By warn crying eyes that beg me for more I'm carefully placing my thoughts so carefully placing my thoughts I'm giving myself to you Just giving myself to you Cause I can After all this time alone Do you still care Does leaving all you've got behind set you free? Hold yourself open wide for me (Leave behind, this place)

about

Calm Awaits is Black Diamond Bay's debut album. The band consists of Patrick Krief and George Donoso III, known for their work with The Dears, this is a chance to explore another side of their music. The band is completed by Roberto Piccioni on Keys and Alex Lapointe on Bass. Black Diamond Bay is renowned for a great live show and Calm Awaits has been receiving international acclamations as a great album start to finsih.

- The Coast

"a little bit haunting, a little bit experimental, a little bit epic. The new project of former Dears guitarist Patrick Krief and drummer George Donoso, the similarities come as no surprise, but the songs on Calm Awaits manage to work the fragility of much of contemporary indie rock into a bold, confident sound."

"The record lets Krief and his gang explore more lush arrangements, winding pop psychedelia and intricate harmonizing"

-Chart Attack
