Victorious - Melophobix A refusal to live life like the kings who died before thee Oh, how brightly their crowns shine in the stomachs of the hungry And as steel meets flesh, echoes from cobblestone to calm stream Victorious statues still rest on the paths that led to peace long ago I support those who lay their weapons down quietly 'Cuz those who don't care to fight deserve the peace instead of the irony Turn on the news, although you might not want to see this Takes a whole lotta blood to get the media to feed it I understand that even laser guided fucks up Fly that shit into the ocean not a residential school bus But I ain't really sure about the message being sent And what the government really does with every single dollar spent Little American, open up your eyes Don't you dare keep them closed for the remainder of your life Did you see the headlines, sir? No? Must have missed 'em Like I'm the only one who sees the flaws in the system, yeah This is a refusal to live life like the kings who died before thee Oh, how brightly their crowns shine in the stomachs of the hungry And as steel meets flesh, echoes from cobblestone to calm stream Victorious statues still rest on the paths that led to peace long ago Whuddup congressman, thinking that I'll write ya 'Cuz this country's fuel is running low and what we really need is fire Where did the separation of church and state go? 'Cuz I'll be damned if prayer's the answer to sparking up economic growth Gentlemen could we remain between the aisle 'Cuz I can't stand up for a man who exercises to defile Call yourself a patriot, waving your flag high It's about the size of the heart, not the size of the lion Trying to find a picture we could place inside the fortress But the further back we go, just wish it all could be aborted Wipe the slate clean like none of this had ever happened But they just shot the somber soldier who spoke up against the captain Trapped in what happened, hey, when did we approve? Life's a game of chess, patiently waiting on the next move Let's go, bro, the clock is frickin' tickin' They can always use an extra set of hands in the kitchen, yeah A refusal to live life like the kings who died before thee Oh, how brightly their crowns shine in the stomachs of the hungry And as steel meets flesh, echoes from cobblestone to calm stream Victorious statues still rest on the paths that led to peace, on the paths that led to peace, On the paths that led to peace.

Tortuga - Melophobix I’ve lost my place cuz we been racing in between the lines Some call it fortunes others fate but I’ve been keeping time I lost my patience kept me waiting caged and left outside So I’ll be damned if I erase those things you said tonight Pour another one mother fucker, pour another one for me and my friends Pour another one mother fucker, pour another one for me and my friends I’ve been trying no denying, that this don’t make sense So I won’t bore you with a lifetime of my regrets If it kills me I’ll be willing but I ain’t done yet Checking you off of the list I’ve been thinking I’ve been drinking know I’ve made mistakes But there ain’t much more than my reputation here at stake Missed my moment left me hopeless like a change of state But I’ll be dancing at the chance to hear the people say Pour another one mother fucker, pour another one for me and my friends Pour another one mother fucker, pour another one for me and my friends We’ve been trying no denying, that this don’t make sense So I won’t bore you with a lifetime of my regrets If it kills me I’ll be willing but I ain’t done yet Checking you off of the list

Whenever You Want - Melophobix You’re the type of girl that every guy would dream of Open up your locks and show me what you’re made of Running out of time like candles up on the nightstand Bedding full of roses whose thorns won’t ever break skin Still keep spending most of my life, just flipping pages Constantly re-twisting the plot, until I think it’s straightened Time is just a man-made thing, but I can’t seem to change it Entrances are still only one turn from being exits Hey honey I dunno who you thinking about tonight But I would love it if you’d give me just a call sometime I know you got a man but he aint doing his job right Let your hair down hottie I can get you off just fine I know you say he’s smooth, but I bet I’m a little smoother Know you like his groove, but I bet my beat’s a little groovier His credit card might pay for all your place’s bills But he lacks in the department to satisfy all your favorite thrills If you’re looking for a real man, to do the things that he can’t Aint got no ring on your left hand, So gimme a call and we’ll get it on ----Whenever you want You brag about him to your friends like he’s the man of the house But you complain about the fact that he don’t ever go down He aint no stallion girl, he's more like a mouse And lasts a couple seconds then he’s cashed and passed out You wonder why you always flirt with other guys And dawn those skin tight jeans, flashing luscious lips and brown eyes Just think of three in the morning homeboy’s snoring in the bed Hit the shower so you can finish off yourself instead If you the queen girl, then I’ll play the part of bishop We can kill the king on his throne or just send him all the pictures Making me testify verdict guilty no witness cuz you’re looking so fine in that black bra matching britches I know you say he’s smooth, but I bet I’m a little smoother I know you like his groove, but I bet my beat’s a little groovier His credit card might pay for all your place’s bills But he lacks in the department to satisfy all your favorite thrills If you’re looking for a real man, to do the things that he can’t Aint got no ring on your left hand, So gimme a call and we’ll get it on ----Whenever you want

about

Melophobix's "EP" is the first released recordings from Melophobix. After the band's formation in November of 2015, and their first show at the Intersection in Grand Rapids in January of 2016, fans have been demanding music from the group. In order to satisfy and enlighten, the band decided to put together a three-track EP that will hopefully whet the appetite of those preparing to divulge in Melophobix's first full-length album that awaits on the near horizon.
