Lyrics

Young States

My skin is stretched over lonely bones Can't help but choke with your hands on my throat It's hard to make up for your moves when they are set in stone I assumed you were on your way Another new face for every passing day You say it's temporary but you can't escape yourself from past mistakes You're a constant reminder of Reminder of the sound (A constant) Reminder of Reminder of the sound Replace tonight with better things And make my better days I've got this kind of hate that I can't keep put away What's the point of waiting, when you got nothing to lose? Tear out my eyes Bleed alive I've fallen out of light You're a constant reminder of Reminder of the sound (A constant) Reminder of Reminder of the sound

Citizen on Dork

Citizen have returned with details of their new album ‘Halcyon Blues’

The Ohio band share lead single 'Highs and Lows' and confirm worldwide tour.

Citizen have announced a 10th anniversary edition of 'Everybody Is Going To Heaven'

Citizen's expanded 10th anniversary reissue of 'Everybody Is Going To Heaven' features unreleased tracks, demos, and reimagined versions.

Citizen: The call of the wild

For Citizen's fifth album, 'Calling The Dogs,' they defy genre boundaries and embrace their youthful wonder for a record that's unapologetically uptempo yet deeply introspective.

Meet Me @ The Altar have debuted an acoustic version of last year's 'Model Citizen EP'

They'll release their debut album later this year.
