Lost My Way 03:26
Always thinking Will I have the time Never knowing How I got behind Turning circles Head beneath the sand I'm forsaken To follow their commands Now I've lost my way ----- Lost my way, Lost my way, Lost my way Bending shapeless Getting turned around Hardly breathing Am I going down All this time shows Just what I don't know Shining different Lights onto my soul And now I've lost my way ----- Lost my way, Lost my way, Lost my way (bridge) Should I find a place to hide? Should I live another lie?

She had those eyes that stole you at a glance Trapped you in a moment Get you high then crashed you down Eagerly She took a ride on me Happiness I thought I bought It should have never been She took my hand Blindness drifted into me It only goes to show A perfect girl is just a dream Stole from me A piece of my heart that never bleeds Dream Stealer - I’m the one who knew you from the start Dream Stealer - I left you on my doorstep torn apart I know it well Read you in a magazine Your perfect spell it took a fall What is will never be Eagerly You took that ride on me Happiness I thought I bought It should have never been I know it seems You know my many things Well I put you out of memory Your misery your stains Stole from me A piece of my heart that never bleeds Dream Stealer - I’m the one who knew you from the start Dream Stealer - I left you on my doorstep torn apart

Chains 04:16
Fragments of the climb Locked in the youth of your life Your dreams they hide but tell your truth All things shattered and broken with time All your life You’ve spend underground digging away Now you wake and hear the sound And breathe the light of new days Chains on your life Hold your back to the ground Cut the chains off your life And get back to the sound Of your beautiful song Throw the chains off your life Chains of time Eclipse of your sun Cast into this broken world Told there’s truth in a book But in the end you’ll find your life Is stolen by invisible crook All your life You’ve spent wandering hiding away But know you sow and hear the sound And breathe the light of new days All your life You lived in the past Day gone by Of the days you wish to have You gotta fight So give it all that you’ve got Days will be hard Just sing your beautiful song.......

Contagious 03:26
I see where you’ve been sleeping You cannot hide You lay but you’re still restless In your bed of lies Can you feel me I’m contagious Are my words infecting you? Are you’re watching all my actions? Are they speaking loud and true? I see you trying to reach me What’s on your mind? The bitter taste of promise Is left behind Can you feel me I’m contagious Are my words infecting you? Are you’re watching all my actions? Are they speaking loud and true? Feel my stinger sinking deep - in the words I speak Rip my dagger from your vein - deadly is my grip Taste the poison from my lips - sickness in my breath Sink into my silent sleep, bathed in self regret The story never changes You play your game I won’t be left there standing It’s all the same

She Cries 03:23
I should have noticed when the scratches turned to cuts Such a deep violation Your sickness every day, dismissed as the same old thing Your blood it fuels all the hatred Hold the tie, wrap your lies With the bandage of your toxic mind oh You don’t feel anymore…… She cries Hiding in the shadows She’s lost Her days are gone forever The clock still ticking time, while you still lose your mind Close to the edge and you’re falling Barely holding on, you scour at the waking dawn Your heart is constantly calling Hold the tie, wrap your lies With the bandage of your toxic mind, oh You don’t feel anymore…… She cries Hiding in the shadows She’s lost Her days are gone forever Through the empty door No one hears her call Solitary fall

Hero 03:33
There’s a little boy, who dreams of going to war He’s got soldier toys - plays on his bedroom floor Why – Do we let this happen? He’s only just a kid They point - Hey we want you man He dies at only age eighteen Daddy’s hero Picture paints of a thousand wars Mama opens up the door To Soldier men of war Sissy turns and runs away Cuts into her deep dark wounds Why do we let this go? For political wars There’s a little lie - Hides behind the guise Taking soldier lives - All for political stride Why – Do we let this happen? He’s only just a kid They point - Hey we want you man He dies at only age eighteen Daddy’s hero Picture paints of a thousand wars Mama falls down on the floor Her baby’s dead and gone Sissy drinks her misery Takes a pill so she can leave Why do we let this go For political wars Daddy’s hero Picture paints of a bloody scene Mama opens up her drawer To tarnished metals from the war Sissy cleans his messy room Throws away his soldier toys Why do we let this go? For political wars

Come On 03:48
Join my revolution Stick it to these games I will lead, you follow Then you’ll know my name I’m not like the others With this world’s disease Take my hand and follow You’ll get what you need Follow me – open up your eyes, you will see I am the way – tomorrow is your starting day You know – do you feel it in your bones? You need - to leave it all behind and follow me Come On Take a look around me To my sea of green Whisper you my secret As I pull you in Follow me – open up your eyes, you will see I am the way – tomorrow is your starting day You know – do you feel it in your bones? You need - to leave it all behind and follow me Come On Come on and follow me Never be the same

Burning Fire 03:46
When my day comes When my light must fade Streams and tides still flow And my dust will blow away One day – one way, take back what’s stole away One life, one fight, climb up that mountain yea In the summer breeze Find me in the sand Breathe life to me Cast me in the wind Shooting Star Burning fire When the dark night fades And there’s only days Watch my soul soar by And my dust will blow away My life, my fight - I’ll buy back what I have sold One day, one way - With diamonds from dust in soil In the summer breeze Find me in the sand Breathe life to me Cast me in the wind Shooting Star Burning fire Watch my light Burn into your life Watch my light Breathe into your life

Walk Away 03:25
I’m weary weak and afraid The price of life I’ve paid The bare walls hide my pictures From times of Yesterday With aching eyes dry of dull dreams Where should this life lead me My innocence is shattered It came back but I can’t pay If I had it my way I’d know what to say If I had it my way I’d turn my back and walk away It’s been so long since this blindness I know you stand by me The times when I was alone You helped me find my way It’s getting harder to sleep The days are long and I’m weak It’s complicated but I stay My blindness slips away If I had it my way I’d know what to say If I had it my way I’d turn my back and walk away I know there’s part of me This separated me Never lets me be – Alone

Seasons 03:55
I woke to fog this morning And I’m leaving on the very next train I left you with these feelings And just as you were healing - I said goodbye Here I sit alone Waiting on your call And as I write these words The memories……. are hard. If I could only feel you If I could only free you If I could only touch your face I’ll find a way to see you Is there no way to be with you This is the season of my endless pain I know you just don’t need me If you would only see me - One more time This endless pain won’t leave me But one last time could heal my - Restless mind As I left you there Waiting and alone As you forget my name The Memories……are lost If I could only feel you If I could only free you If I could only touch your face I’ll find a way to see you Is there no way to be with you This is the season of my endless pain This is what is left of me Broken shattered left to grieve Will this heartbreak ever leave Only you can set me free Now I know that all The things I did were wrong Along this empty road The Memories……….are gone

about

93 Octane is back with a vengeance on their second release, "Contagious". This album finds the band further defining its original sound and solidifying its relationship with its fan base. From start to finish, the music rocks hard with songs like "Lost My Way" and the title track. There's also an excellent diversity with more introspective tunes like "Hero" and "Seasons". The writing team of Nelson & Van Taylor take you on an original musical journey that is too often lost by bands striving to emulate what's already been done before. 93 Octane is the new Seattle sound: refreshingly original, artistically expressive, and always powerful.

Check them out on the web at www.93octaneband.com and be sure to "Like" them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/93octaneband.
