Looking For A Mantra

by No Good Deed

1.
Eulogy 03:50
lyrics
My mind's running rampant on its own Again I am sleeping all alone Bewildered by these troubled dreams All here is nothing as it seems Feel so isolated in my room Feels just like another slumber tomb I can almost hear you start to cry Nobody here gets out alive All I want is you Get my eye on you All I want is you Get my hands on you Now I'm swimming in a sea of black Drops of sweat running down my back A voice is calling from the grave Do you know if you'll be saved? All I want is you Get my eye on you All I want is you Get my hands on you All I want is you Get my eye on you All I want is you Get my hands on you

Blind Eye 03:28
lyrics
I see you crawlin' back I hear you coming toward my door Fall from grace you've been replaced my trust you can't restore Six long years have found me feeling better than before You're too late it seems like fate you get what you paid for Why can't someone tell me Everybody feeds me lies Why can't someone show me Look my way and turn a cold blind eye Toyed with my mind broke my heart and kicked me when I'm down Played with me, tore me apart and left without a sound My big mistake was looking at you when you came around You looks that face your saved grace the only good I found Chorus You're back now with a new attack my backs against the wall Though I promised long ago I won't answer your call I think about you now and then and I try to stall I hate you and I know someday that you'll be my downfall Chorus

Pyle Driver 02:16
lyrics
Lock us in the bathroom Punch my eye until I start to bleed Roll my hand up in a fist Ask the question that you seek Out back by the playhouse, Faking death just trying to tease me Chris is dead Chris is drunk Chris is high Pile on Pyle Driver (get off of me, get off of me) Pile on Pyle Driver (get off of me, get off of me) Pile on Pyle Driver (get off of me, get off of me) Pile on Pyle Driver Why do you keep hitting yourself? Send us to our bedrooms Turn a deaf ear towards your youngest son Roll your hand up in a fist Makes you think that you have won

Feeling Better 03:36
lyrics
Never stop considering the decisions you've made along the way Might just see that The slightest deviation from the norm might be the thing that paves the way Can't you see I'm Chorus: Feeling better now I’ve found A single voice to raise the sound Lift the ground reverse the phase Continue to the end without delay I see the way you look at life There's no way I cost you one thin dime reconsider Maybe if you stop to notice the way that I've dedicated time Can't you see I'm Chorus: Feeling better now I’ve found A single voice to raise the sound Lift the ground reverse the phase Continue to the end without delay

about

"...reliable power pop with an edge sharp enough to cut yourself on. Imagine Urge Overkill without the preening, or Material Issue without the eagerness to please."

- Patrick Beach - Austin American-Statesman

"...well-constructed, catchy as hell and presented in a straightforward manner." "...classic combination of clean vocals and crunchy rock riffs."

- Chad Taylor - Des Moines Cityview Magazine

"...a nice dose of distorted guitar, hard-hitting drums and catchy vocal melodies. They start out strong with “The Truth,” “Frank Sinatra” and “Here I Am” all of which are upbeat rocking songs that can pretty easily get stuck in your head. "

- Ted Rogen - The Equal Ground

"...holds its own when compared to expensive productions from groups of similar genres. "Looking for a Mantra" shows exactly how good, energetic musicians with decent amplifiers do more to create a solid rock album than expensive post production ever does.

- John Molseed - Waterloo/Cedar Falls Courier
