Car Crash 04:42
Car Crash Vanish into thin air Bright flashing light Hurts my eyes and I see what I fear Speeding through the night Heat sparks a fire out of the smoke you arrive I'm slowly crashing every car A mile a minute you'll go far Oh I'm almost there I'm almost there Fading out the light The end of the day is The end of the day every time Close my eyes Heat sparks a fire out of the smoke you arrive Slowly crashing every car A mile a minute you'll go far I'm almost there I'm almost there Seeing is believing Seeing is believing Seeing is believing Fly through fly through the night Sound of the engines Drowns out the sounds of the fight In a blind spot Reflections of nothing expecting the impact I'm shot Slowly crashing every car A mile a minute you'll go far Slowly crashing into you Got to find out what to do I'm almost there I'm almost there I'm almost there I'm almost there

Fade Away 04:07
Fade Away If it came down to what you see And the inside is just like me Would you silently turn away If it came down to what you say The sky is white and now it turns to gray If I were you would I say If you were me would it still be the same Canceled out Fade away If you know that the world is you And you know then that it's all true And you constantly turn to go You forget all the things you know Never thought this could be your fate You remember that it's too late And the ghost was you all along And the shadow is almost gone The sky is white and now it turns to gray If you were me would you say If I were you would I still be the same Invisible Fade away

Break Down 04:53
Break Down If the eye of the storm's invisible Will you know when it pulls you out the door And I know that it seems impossible But all the sky and all the world is yours What you've broken breaks you open If it's just a way to get it back If we're on the way to make it ours Some kind of answer Something's gotta happen If It's all there is to get it I'll try not to let it break down Running out of chances Out of answers Well you run and you run to get somewhere Can you leave your hurt where you don't care Just something better It's all that matters Well it's all, it's all, it's all the same Can you can you tell me where you've been Something better It's all I'm after What you've broken breaks you open Oh if the world can't forget it I'll try not to let it break down Some kind of answer Flirting with disaster I don't know, I don't know why Wish I could find, Find the answer Into Gold Turns to gold Into gold And it starts It starts to grow Ah if the eye of the storm's invisible You feel the push and then the pulling Just because we don't know the answer If it's all there is to get it If it's all the same Ah starts to grow Into gold Starts to grow

Turn It Over 03:52
Turn It Over Turning it over Discover the other side Running for cover Hiding deep inside I see what it looks like, what it looks like You here in the starlight, in the starlight I'm here still don't know you, still don't know you So near, moving slowly, moving slowly Rolling it over Turn it over and show the pretty side Hiding behind you And out comes the ugly side It carries over And comes back two at a time It's not what you wanted Blinded by the light I'm here still don't know you, still don't know you So near, moving slowly

Hungry 04:28
Hungry You are the snake who sheds its skin You let the ugly beauty in All of the blood and all of the money Never enough world to please you honey Sound of the heartbreak leaving you hungry You always were misunderstood You are so bad when you are good You are so bad when you are good All that we are and all we're becoming Never enough world to please you honey Sound of the heartbreak leaving you hungry All of the blood and all of the money Never enough world to please you honey Sound of the heartbreak leaving you hungry You always were misunderstood You are so bad when you are good

Star-Crossed 05:02
Star-Crossed It's not falling down It's just falling over Feel it all all around You're wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong Oooh Tearing all apart Pushing us together We will come and go Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone Oooh It's falling down low And you know it's true It's the same old worry Feel it all all around you You're wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong, You're wrong Oooh It's falling down low Oooh It's falling down low It's the same old dawn A moment's glory You're alone Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone

Dawning 05:01
Dawning All of a sudden caught my eye The shiny promise of a lie It's all the time Remember when On the road and on again Hear the sound of always Only when you're calling out It's just the same It's on the game It's only when you're sounding out All those words Remember when On the road and down again You were wrong and I was right All of a sudden caught my eye You take your time It's all the game And all the ways I call your name We're crawling We're calling It's all the ways we're dawning now It's only when You're in the game Your way you follow And all the shame you gave away The shadows follow all around It's just the road we're headed on The way before we're gone Like shadows on the ground All of a sudden caught my eye

Earth Stood Still We move around in daylight like we do in dreams Here Skating on the surface, nothing's what it seems Here Don't forget it seemed the Earth stood still While we watched the Sun go down There's no way to know exactly who you are right now There's only love And when all the pieces break apart And you feel like you're alone It's the perfect time to give it all up And to let it go Writing down our secrets to bury in the ground Now Tangled up in costumes, hiding in the sound Now Don't forget it seemed the Earth stood still While we watched the Sun go down There's no way to know exactly who you are right now There's only love And when all the pieces break apart And you feel like you're alone It's the perfect time to give it all up And to let it go We move around in daylight like we do in dreams Here Skating on the surface, nothing's what it seems Here

about

Power dream pop endures in the restless hands of Her Vanished Grace. On STAR-CROSSED (2012) the lush abrasion of melting guitars stirs the atmosphere with brutal loving care. The odd radiance of these unlikely songs echoes with the delight of their breathless dizzying roar. With quixotic enthusiasm, Nance, Charlie, Maria and Billy continue to search for a sound that resembles the silent hurt and the loud noisy joy of life on earth.
