Come Undone 06:29
Here we stand, the end of the road Smoking hot, a shell of a man Born asleep, a life on the run Circus freak, then come undone Here we are, crossing the line Sister slave, you’re on the rise Carry me, bring down the sun Light the fuse, then come undone
2.
Ghost Town 03:40
Lying in the sand With my face down Nearing closer to the ground Spent the day ashore Just crying out loud It gets me every time It’s a ghost town we run around Searching for a crown Though we know it’s a scam so don’t you frown Bogged down in debt we’re all You can’t afford to play It is not a dollar a round Flying on a trip Down memory lane Tired of being pushed around Gonna answer for Those deafening shouts A clown without a smile It’s a ghost town we run around Searching for a crown Though we know it’s a scam so don’t you frown Bogged down in debt we’re all You can’t afford to play It is not a dollar a round Can’t you hear the winds are howling And the lights come shining down on you Never going back to the past Never going back

High Plains 04:37
There's a pole in the sky Where flags wave with pride There's a hole in the dirt Where the lepers shine There's a pole in the sky Where flags wave with pride There's a hole in the dirt Where the lepers shine Soon we became what we're destined to be Boundless neighbours Hauling our carcasses out in the streets Life’s own servants There’s a hole in the sky For vultures to stride For preachers and fools Waiting in line Soon we became what we're destined to be Boundless neighbours Hauling our carcasses out in the streets Life’s own servants The bigger the flag The brighter the flame People keep talking Than taking the blame The bigger the flag The brighter the flame People keep talking Than taking the blame
4.
The Rider 04:11
Rider, faceless rider Murder, grasping for air Bullet, self-righteous bullet Murder the lie Fire, blood on your hands Spineless, run for your lives Coward, dead or alive Preacher, soulless teacher Reacher, cover the lie Bullet, self-righteous bullet Target acquired Fire, blood on your hands Spineless, run for your lives Coward, dead or alive
5.
Sing Along 07:03
Sail away sail away To the land of no tomorrow No she’s not alone When the light is growing darker Sing along sing along When sadness turns to madness Then she’s gone Break the silence in a house of broken dreams Home again Grief now is closing in Take these hands Lift me above the ground Whispering Maybe I’ m falling too Make her smile Starlight is fading out Lean your head by my side Stardust always shines Lift your hands high Lean your head by my side Stardust always shines Lift your hands high Harmony Turns into misery A shade of love In the house of broken dreams Fear of guilt Words that I cannot express Sing along Starlight is fading out Lean your head by my side Stardust always shines Lift your hands high Lean your head by my side Stardust always shines Lift your hands high
6.
How do we go from this painful holiday Taking some time off this vicious circle Cooling board needed for Sunday afternoons Shaking the ghost of the fears becoming true Strolling walk inside the middle of the night Joining the dots, it’s a never ending fight You’re now a sight for sore eyes Run through the mist that is coming for you Gotta get through Hold on, better stop chasing How do we go from this painful holiday Taking the time off this vicious circle You’re now a sight for sore eyes Run through the mist that is coming for My soul darker than blue Hold on, cause freedom is long overdue Walk on, it’s darker than blue Hold on, ‘til the turn of the tide
7.
All these roads point to no direction All the frozen smiles turn to provocation Shadows rise sweep away the golden tribe All the city lights illuminate the burden All the weary eyes sleepless through the gutter Shadows rise sweep away the golden tribe Bring down the bars rise up Burn down the sun and breathe
8.
Underdogs 03:53
Well, here are the underdogs Crashing a funeral Leaving the angry mob behind All of the innocence And all of the emptiness Of living the life you wanted All those bastards in this land Bury them across the sand All those bastards in this land Bury them across the sand The bell is ticking for those implored Justice for those ignored Beaming so proudly like the sun Keep your good friends aboard Salvation for your soul Cause this is a hollow wasteland All those bastards in this All those bastards in this land Bury them across the sand All those bastards in this All those bastards in this land Bury them across the sand All those bastards in this All those bastards in this land They should have been on that train
9.
Traveller 05:00
Drop all your leaves like a flower And form a need to devour Like an ocean spinning round Flood this most abusive crowd Capes swirl our hearts are throbbing Grey gaze the night is coming In these days where nothing matters Find some sense behind these gutters Burn these hills at your desire Fellow traveller of loom Hounds baying in serene manner Rest assured this world don't matter In my travels I'll remember The joys of self-surrender Burn these hills at your desire Fellow traveller of doom Let go of your soul Lay down low
10.
Oh I feel sedated So manipulated Feelings of loss Visions of joy Memories fade Passing us by Oh nothing seems sacred Life so violated Feelings of loss Visions of joy Memories fade Passing us by Pictures of time We ride the tide again Oh I feel sedated So manipulated Feelings of loss Visions of joy Memories fade Passing us by Pictures of time We have to shine again Floating, glowing, transforming, exploding Floating, glowing, transforming, exploding

about

“Underdogs” is the brand new album by Empty Frame and marks the beginning of a new era for the band.

In "Underdogs" the heavier, post-rock and psychedelic elements that have always been part of their music, now dominate, without hiding their unique melodic lines. The album emphasizes the immediacy and commanding power of the pummeling guitar-bass-drums trio on the one hand and their trademark soaring cello-violin combo on the other, a sound that matters and exists in the moment.

Underdogs are all those people who have suffered oppression, discrimination, violence and facing their dead ends, wake up/breathe and rebel. "Underdogs", however, is a word that also fits Empty Frame too, who, after almost twenty years, continue their journey creating, despite adversity, losses and personal dark moments.
