lyrics

They watched you from afar
But close enough to taste
They saw everything that you did
That put you in this place

This hollow sun has set
Beneath a falling star
I wonder what you are

They tried to let you go
Afraid to leave the world below
Just show me who you are
Survive a sense of pride
Whether it's laugh or cry
It's showing what you are

Stage, rate, validate

Those wires should carry you
But they brought you to your knees
This fear is something new to you
A paradigm diseased

But could this be the new distraction?
To follow and obey
Endless we see that fear in your eyes
That there is no sweeter prize

One chance, one life
A helpless cry
For change, remove
The myth, the lie
You search, you seek
But cannot find
The buzz, the bite
It won't be kind
What glitters doesn't always shine
That little part of you is mine

And here tonight
No need to hide
Whether it's laugh or cry
Just show me who you are
They tried to let you go
Afraid to leave the world below
Just show me who you are
Survive a sense of pride
Whether it's laugh or cry
It's showing what you are

Stage, rate, validate

Artificial Void

“… And Everything In Between” was a great introduction to the band, and after having listened to it 2975295 times in a relatively short while I could appreciate “Artificial Void” (which is perhaps a bit more intricate?) better. Alice M.

Applause Of A Distant Crowd
by VOLA

supported by 38 fans who also own “The Convincer”

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ

Never heard of this band until this came on Liquid Metal...now I'm hooked and hope they come back to the states soon. Tony B!
