about
"Time Travel", the second single from the forthcoming 'Deathbed' EP, resides at the juxtaposition of what you want, what you have, and what you will never have again. The beginning of the song opens with a vulnerable confession, played on Graves' mother's classical guitar. The song and sentiment explodes with resentment, "...you are the boss, and I never win, and you know, you're just my type".
The songs "Time Travel" and "Deathbed" will release consecutively with two cyclical music videos that can be started in any order and will loop infinitely. This is a symbol of the cycles we experience in life, relationships, and with our own self-discovery.
As with all the songs on 'Deathbed', Graves wrote "Time Travel" while releasing her debut LP, 'Marathon', and while her relationship was crumbling around her. The Deathbed was engineered and mixed by Elly Swope at Destination Universe! and was mastered by Amy Dragon of Telegraph Audio. This EP was engineered completely by amazing women.

lyrics
I don’t know all the sadness
You’ve seen
I won’t know what
The years will bring
Weak wrists reach for you hips
You say go harder
So I break the skin
And you know
I’ll fall behind
Your loose lips
Sink all my ships
You are the boss
And I never win
And you know
You’re just my type
But the truth is hard to fight
If I could go back again
Then try I might
The truth is hard to fight
If I could go back again
Then try I might
Oh, but to fall
But to fall
In your arms
One more time
Here we go
All my life
In your arms
And oh, but to fall
But to fall
In your arms
I don’t want to
I don’t want to know
I don't want to
I don’t want to go
And oh, but to fall
But to fall
In your arms
But the truth is hard to fight
If I could go back again
Then try I might
The truth is hard to fight
If I could go back again
Then try I might
Oh, but to fall
But to fall
In your arms
One more time

This album is amazing from start to finish! It's got such a cool, poetic, punk rock vibe. Hits the soul, for real. Please come play in Miami, Florida soon! Thank you for your art! richnice1975
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
