High wire tightrope dreams With visions of the in between The laughing stock Of useless social scenes The drop of into parallels Of chemicals and wishing wells Where people leave their faith In unknown things The status quo of melodies We harmonize in sympathy And sing along to songs We’ve never heard We’re well aware of where we’ve been Oh tell me when this show begins So we can leave the past in disrepair I’m done pretending I’m amused Goodbye, go on I’m glad I won’t be there Number us one through ten Where others wish to be like them Like plastic faces Misshaped and undone Diluted and derived the same Where numbers by their shapes with names They’ve lost or can’t remember Where they’re from The rhythm of complacency Where lives get lost in irony And reminisce of times They never shared We’re well aware of where you’ve gone Rejoicing in the death of song Forgetting what you’ve lost Without a care I’m done pretending I’m amused Goodbye, go on I’m glad I wont be there

We heard you whisper amongst the shadows That run these walls of your empty castle But you don’t know what I Would do for you And in the presence of times you once knew Don’t lead your life as if you’re see through Tell your story Be a hero Don’t forget me I know it’s easy Getting lost inside this place And I remember just what you told me Let me be your saving grace But I moved on We destroyed all the things we once made Broke our backs only to be betrayed You were hungry We were desperate And from the height of your ivory tower Your blood it boils, consumed with power And you were helpless In the worst way Don’t you leave me I’ll make it easy Getting lost inside this place And I remember Just what you asked me Would you be my saving grace But I moved on Don’t forget me I know it’s easy I’ll forget you and it’s easy And I remember just what you told me I’ll forget everything you said Don’t get lost inside this place I’ll get lost inside this place Would you be my Saving grace

Where would you go Where would you go If you had nowhere to run to No one to call your name So I said oh Copper Country Here I come again And as you’re drifting through this slow moving parade You can feel the warmth or you can feel betrayed And all the light inside the room Are just the stars around the moon Over Copper Country And we go Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (x4) Six feet of snow Six feet of snow And we got time to get used to Things we can’t control So I said oh Colorado Let me go And as you’re drifting through this slow moving parade You can feel the warmth or you can feel betrayed And all the light inside the room Are just the stars around the moon Over Copper Country And we go Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (x4) Oh Oh Oh Oh copper country I am coming home (x3)

Keweenaw 03:01
Don’t you wanna come back And mingle with the trees I feel the movement You’re shaky at the knees I know there’s someone Or something to be found I’ll quit again pack it up and leave Sweetheart aren’t you proud Oh I knew I’d let you down (Chorus 1) You can find me far away from home Looking for a place to stay Sometimes you need a little time Out on your on Sometimes you need To get away Sometimes you gotta let er’ dance Sometimes you gotta take that chance I wanna leave here And maybe just get lost Way up north in the Keweenaw Desperately intending To spend a little time Getting rid of most of me And working on my mind Oh mother have I lost my mind (Chorus repeat) You can find me far way from home Out in the Keweenaw Sometimes you need A little time out on your own Sometimes you need to get lost Sometimes you gotta let er’ dance Sometiems you gotta take that chance

Where have you been Where have you been It’s been awhile You’ve given in I’ve given in To you on denial (Chorus 1) But I’m too lonely to drink about it now So I’m sure that I’ll let you down Where have you been Where have you been Out on your own Out on my own And you’re self-destructive I haven’t grown You haven’t grown Use to my own seduction Cause the dying don’t say much when the are dead So you might as well say what needs to be said Where are you know Where are you know And I know that I’m so far away from home But it sure feels good to be alone (Chorus 1 repeat)
7.
It’s been awhile since I felt like this Screaming and shaking and pounding my fist But I finally feel like going home I’m outside out in the race You’re in here bleeding this space Of all that you’ve lost and all that you fear And you’ll be drowning in the belly of this year (x2) I need time to leave me today You need time to just get away And figure out who you wanna be I’ve got a tongue and you’ve got a mouth We’ve got some words we need to get out And I want to hear you once again You’ll be sorry that you ever let me in (x2) I’m not sure how much I have You might be gone and I might come back But will we be breathing much more I know there’s things to hard to say I know that feelings can get in the way But would you just tell me goodbye You’ll be sorry that your whole life passed you by (x2) You’ll be sorry that you ever left me here (x2) You’ll be sorry that you ever let me near

Cartographer 04:12
One day she came down in a hard way Counting the cars on the freeway Whistling to tunes that she know I know you can’t control Where the cars go But can’t you control what you do She said I’m not really listening to you Walk out head down the street to the safe house If anyone asked I have mapped out The root to my only escape Tell them they can all come if they’d like to I’m not afraid still despite you I’ll do whatever it takes She said Don’t you ever learn from your mistakes (Chorus) Oh I might One day On down the line But up till then I’ll be oblivious like you And wait for the day Oh that I can get away And separate myself From everyone Like you Pretend things aren’t a mess for a second Just wave in my general direction And watch as I run from it all She said Watch your step I’d love to see you fall (Chorus Repeat)

We heard you singing Soft against the wind Wish you were screaming loud And as your words disperse They’re wearing thin Who’ll keep you secrets now And in the morning When the sun awakes Your world is upside down The day will bend Before your body breaks Cause your so tightly wound He went in search for Answers in the bottle That’s where the poor fool drowned He lost his mind somewhere in Colorado Still waiting to be found (Chorus) Under the veil of A life she once loved She’s screaming catch me if you can He’ll follow her through A love she once knew As if he somehow understands He drew a map Somewhere to where he lost it Bur deep beneath the ground I should have known you’d be the one To drop it Oh you let me down (Chorus) (x2)

One Of Them 03:51
As if all of the thoughts I dreamt in my head Gathered in numbers To change what I said Remarkable words In unmovable ways Echo through this life And all that remains (Chorus) Saying settle down Come on in Take the time to treat yourself Like one of them Set it straight Stay behind Don’t get caught up in The things that you can’t find It’s ticking wicked fleeting The sound of my ear’s drum beating, Pounding at the silver lines A single thread, Throughout my mind To be alive yet still asleep In golden slumbers my soul to keep, By the morning I shall awake To find myself and be remade (Repeat Chorus)
12.
We were born deep in the belly Where the wires are worn Down from the heavy use of these machines Our metal deities Turn me out Just like the other in a cardboard box With a plastic cover and instructions On how I work (Chorus) All All you need to know Is I’m not coming home Anytime soon I heard stories of the warning sign That was written on the wall With the lightening lined into a human head Shattered into pieces Time goes by we lose trust and the gears wear out The bodies rust Did we forget about What we left behind (Chorus Repeat)
13.
On an On 03:37
We were dreaming without insight Building lives we couldn’t keep You can’t hide inside the spotlight Or in the way you think you speak Don’t forget the ones you left here Don’t forget the things you need It’s the thought of losing we fear Only living things can bleed (Chorus) And in the end if you’re still satisfied With the choices made And the way in which you survived You will gain much more than what you left behind On and on this endless life I believe in just existence We perceive much more than time Persevere through our persistence Happiness is a state of mind I’m aware that this will all end All our thoughts are laid to rest Body dies and life is silence Nothing more and nothing less (Chorus Repeat) On and on this endless life

about

This album, Rhythm of Complacency, is Swim Through Frequencies first full length release. After releasing their first self titled Ep in July of 2013 the band immediately got to work on recording the LP. Over the course of four months the band pieced together the project recording both at MorningWood Studios in Fort Collins, CO and at home with the help of Asymmetrical Smile Productions Mobile Rig. Once the LP was fully recorded they took the album out to Los Angeles, CA to have the album mixed and mastered. "Rhythm of Complacency" was mixed in Long Beach, CA at The Compound and mastered in Ecco Park, CA at Infrasonic sound. Throughout this process, and the experience of releasing their EP, Swim through frequencies really began to find their voice as a group. The sound is unique to its own and the influences span genres ranging from folk to rock and indie to alternative. This LP has a good tempo flow as well. Up beat songs such as the title track "Rhythm of Complacency" provide the listener with a great up tempo vibe but the album is laced with slow moving ballads such as "Stoic in the Aftermath." Listeners who enjoy the folk/indie genre will find this LP to be a great change of pace compared to the status quo and won't be disappointed.
