lyrics

I owe my blood loss to the shards of glass
From the broken lights that hide my way
Wandering aimlessly for twenty years
Is how I came to be this way

Don’t you ever dare look into my eyes
For you will never look away
You will go mad with love, you’re hypnotized
You will forever be enslaved

In a state of
Mass dementia
In a state of
Wonder

I peer into the glass and see my face
And my reflection slowly fades
It reappears inside a different place:
The photo of you in your frame

Back-alley shadows follow in my wake
Waiting for the time I close my eyes
Tearing at my ankles with their filthy claws
You can have my body when I die

In a state of
Mass dementia
In a state of
Wonder

Come on now, push my head under the waves
All the way down, way down, push my head under the sand

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
