Old Dreams 02:56
I’m going on my own To replace all that I know In my soul it’s black and white Would you color it tonight? I don’t know what’s in store I’m still walking out that door We could take a risk Take a breath Figure out what’s happening to me Hold me And I swear its all I need To get back to my old dreams (Cause) In the end It all comes back to me Love always feels lost But I’ll keep up hanging on In my heart it’s beating still Gone begging me to feel It’s been the darkest year That I can remember here Not much hope to pass Along to those that I hold dear It all comes back, It all comes back

A-Typical 02:15
Take your time I’ll take mine You’ll never know what’s on my mind Parallel Another lie (and) She never noticed I lit the match And I gripped the wheel When smoke clears You’ll begin to feel Realize it was never real And we just faked it Figure you out I can’t figure you out Mirrored to my soul I can’t let go A-Typical Show you love? I take it back Ash in my heart, it’s all black Highland Park Another life Your house is burning I lit the match And I gripped the wheel When smoke clears You’ll begin to feel Realize it was never real And we just faked it You’re A-Typical

Colorblind 02:13
Don’t think of home Or sleeping by the phone Dial tone That house has overgrown My thoughts Snap shots Like Polaroids I’ve lost So far gone The things I depend on I can’t go on Can’t go on They call it emotion? Feelings gone Feelings gone I’m stuck in slow motion So far gone Open my eyes To see the brighter side The world is not so black and white (It’s not so black and white) Open my eyes To see the brighter side Colorblind When the words don’t come out right Mistakes will keep you up at night They’re dragging me down Don’t wait for me I haven’t been the same since twenty three And I’m now I’m losing my sight On what kept me alive

Lush 02:52 video
“Feels like there’s something on your mind” You seem to notice every time I know that somethings wrong It’s been this way since I was young Think about where we came from Figure out where I went wrong Walls are caving in Living in your own skin Run away with me We’ll runaway With you I’ll cover up my scars They always hurt when you aren’t far The night I saw you in the crowd Entire room crashed to the ground Your smell it filled my lungs I taste the rose jam on my tongue Your flowers bloomed wisteria Coughing blood when I get done No longer with you I’ll keep my distance Can’t keep you in my life Just rent free in my mind

about

Recorded in January of 2021, “Old Dreams” finds Sparing doubling down on what made their demo stick. Personal lyrics with ear-worm choruses, heavy riffing – paying homage to influences like Superheaven and Jawbreaker. With tracks like “Colorblind” utilizing catchy pop-punk instrumentals, overlaid with Smashing Pumpkins-inspired guitar harmonies, the music suggests a return to a golden world before things were black and white.
