Revenant 03:57
lyrics
buy track
She moves with the grace of a moonless night Her eyes are the only light that shines She’s an enigma, sure as sin The only question I have is “will she let me in?” Her hair burns with fire from a thousand suns Her smile a crooked line A soul with depths untold What hath I wrought? What shall unfold? Revenant Her visage fades as I watch across the room It’s like she was never even there A crawling feeling underneath my skin As she slowly reappears again Revenant

Funeral Blues 03:51
lyrics

I can’t sleep, it’s like someone’s holding open my eyes I can’t eat because of all the hungry maggots and flies I’m in deep, think they’ll grab me and just drag me away I can’t sleep because tomorrow is already today I can’t breathe, I hope someone’s out there praying for me But who knows? Because I don’t really hold those beliefs I could see that if someone’s in the sky after all Hell seems like a long, long Goddamn fall I can’t see, it’s like someone’s gone and blocked out the sun And I’m blind to everything and everyone I can’t wait until someone fills the void inside me I can’t wait until I’m put out of my misery I can’t think, it’s like something’s taken over my brain Now I’m here standing comatose outside in the rain I’d like to regain a little happiness please But if not, just move along and let me be I can’t feel anything except the darkness inside It’s hard not to succumb to it and lay down and die I’ve tried everything that I can possibly do So get me a casket for my funeral blues

Ancient God 02:45

Take a ride on the wave of an ancient God Could be your only chance To beat the odds In this sacred dance Kicking back with the ghosts at the gates of hell Talking up a storm But not much to tell Until we’re reborn

Set The World On Fire 05:00
lyrics
buy track
Set the world on fire Come and take what’s yours All your heart’s desires There so close it burns Greedy hands abound Sucking out your soul Stake them through the heart Before your mind turns cold Oh I know what you’re going through Don’t let it get to you Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Lungs full of hot air Promise you the Earth Just as long as you Look like them at birth Bodies litter grounds Where good men once stood Ashes in a pile Once a neighborhood Oh I know what you’re going through Don’t let it get to you Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn Those fuckers will burn

about

After effectively dissolving as a band in 2013, Altered States returns as a duo with a self-produced 6-song EP of new music. Blending the tasteful psychedelic tones of their previous work with a new style that only age and maturity can bring, Luke Hoffman and Josh Dawald are proud to release this short yet powerful collection of music. Touching on subjects such as love, religion, mental illness, space, time, and the current state of the world, Altered States presents the Onism EP.

Altered States image

Altered States Dallas, Texas

From the peculiar minds of multi-instrumentalists Josh Dawald and Luke Hoffman, Altered States is less a band and more of an intangible aural vessel for your mind. This Dallas-based duo mixes beautiful, spacey soundscapes with elements of prog-rock, psychedelia, pop, hip-hop, electronic music, heavy blues, and conceptual, thought-provoking lyrics to create a unique, eclectic sound all their own. ... more
