1.
Verse 1: An aging piece of flesh and bone Blackened from the head to sole A teacher of his friends and foe A boy without a home Verse 2: Castles made from sand not stone A hand that's made of glass not bone The juvenile sound of words Crumble in his hands Chorus: Sound out the writing on the wall And bow down the two of them are one Don't try now to even up the line Without the boy listening to what she wrote Bridge: I see your face in a maze of light And the stars shine bright tonight But I hear a voice in the dead of night

Ventura 03:05
Verse 1: I’m always in your head Creeping into your bed Fed through a broken straw Beside a blood-stained wall I couldn’t see far It couldn’t be long Please me and treat me right Make me feel Retarded Verse 2: This wall of mine holds back All of the times we had Falling into you Falling away from me Chorus: Passed out with a crack in my bones Inviting parasites in my head In my tracks, in my blood Inviting all their friends Bridge: I’m always in your bed Creeping into your head I cannot see to far It shouldn't be to long
3.
Verse 1: Don’t sit down and watch me bleed Your eyes roll inside and you scream A taste of reality, have yourself a treat Painted glass and walls to steal A shrinks sells you what you see A mind that’s make up of the hand that feeds you Pre-Chorus: Fell into deep out of time The devil awoke in my mind Seeped into the depths of his eyes Drifting away for a time Verse 2: Take a glimpse at the ones who breathe Paint a sight for all to see Pass a note to the ones who will not defy you Charred air is the thing I breathe Blackened scars are yours to heal I do not invite the hand that guides you Chorus: Passed out on the same old road now, why’d you have to be so smooth Taken from my peace of mind and thru into your way of life Kicking rocks and throwing stones and face down in a shallow hole What you see is what you get so leave me be, farewell Bridge: I’ve fallen to deep this time babe
4.
Echoes 03:55
Verse 1: Stiffed waiting for odds l cannot see A deal that was not meant to be All things in the past must be set free A meager reply of sorts I see Verse 2: Black holes in the fire beneath my feet Expanding with eyes I cannot see Tapes ran to till they burst and break from the seams A singular sound for all who breath A chance that was not for me to take Some reasons that were not meant to be Chorus: A stare that turns my way The walls they speak my name A face that turns to grey Bridge: Echoes my name
5.
Verse 1: How does it feel by the end, running around you? Is it true But I know now I’m going down this road I choose Show me a trick and I’ll laugh thinking about you, is it true But I know now I’m seeing all the things I see Verse 2: Paint me a face on the wall and tell me it’s you, can’t you do Well i know now it just can’t all be the way I choose Verse 3: Standing alone in the mirror talking to you, could it be true Well I know now it’s all just in the way I move Chorus: Tell me true, can’t you do? I’m in bloom, how about you? I’m going down that same old road I choose
6.
Young Love 03:19
Verse 1: Poison in the well Take a sip babe, and fade into yourself That's why it's got to be Guess I'm the only one who sees you this way Verse 2: Who and what you won't do. This life is a trip love, and I'm in it for the ride Fell into a sudden void Clawing my way out an end to it all Chorus: Young Love Bridge: Hey you, this life you may lead, I say farewell and I do not regret For now you may go off into clouds And crawl your way back down alone So now I am free oh yes I am free Free to be alone
7.
Fever Dream 04:01
Verse 1: Drove down by the corner of the abyss with some change and you Caught up in a landslide of entangled and delirious laughs Trepidation takes hold as we wash away in this awful mess Doesn’t matter now all we just got to do is take another hit Verse 2: Passed out in a storm of a enticing fever dream The smiles of all who came before me just do not last A shake of the inevitable hands of the old and damned Temptation Invites all the resentful spirits of the land Chorus: Trapped in a haze Take another, what is too lose? Beside ourselves with nothing but our youth Bridge: Some day, my name will not last. I’m on the road I'm gone for awhile Wont stop anytime I'm on my feet
8.
Wayside 02:21
Verse 1: Hey brother, are you ready to go? My feet are gonna explode Hey Sister do you wanna see? All the fuss that’s going down on the scene I’m gonna love it, I’m gonna scream I’m gonna see how it feels anyway Got a tip, got something to choose? Doesn't matter now, it’s all up to you Verse 2: Hey brother, what's for us now? Got something that will bring us down Got an itch, got a mind of its own man I’m feeling like I'm gonna explode Gonna dance gonna go for a ride Anything that will make me alright Got a number got a name on the line Got a feeling that I cannot describe Chorus: We’re on our way down by the wayside
9.
Verse 1: In my life, in this life All you know is told through the eyes Of entangled tribes caught beneath a lie we’ve been told Verse 2: The timbre of the waves crashes into me The pounding of the drums from above Ring across the plains, and echo through my veins A momentary lapse of time Pre-Chorus: Mending, breaking, temptations grow old Silence of the sinful soul Chorus: The tales of he who defied, the words of the old They scrape all their coins in the well Trapped waist deep It's too late
10.
Verse 1: Lovely charm in the dead of night A taste of you makes me feel alright Told of the monsters who terrorize In my heart there is no light Verse 2: My Poison flows into your veins It’s okay but nothing is the same Chorus: Welcome to my inner place, I feel your blood run down my face You cut and scream but it's all a game, for I am you and you are me Hold you close and feel your eyes they dilate and wash aside I flow into you Bridge: Passing into the shadows A crooked reminder of a shallow hole And I do not fault you But I did not realize my own fate
11.
Verse 1: Watching your eyes glow bewildered the mind goes A voice that’s inside my head points an arrow at your head And fires Verse 2: Once I was excited to be delighted and invited But now there is a reason and it’s treason to prey on those Who have paid Chorus: Take it away It’s inside Can’t find my way Bridge: Passing the torch from the setting sun, pieces of you wash away Watching the stars fly into the sun, celestial eyes on the prize Senseless reminders of what we have, a mindless release of your hand Ending: Take me away
12.

Sleep 02:23
Verse 1: Where’s that you’re hiding; on the other side of the road? What’s that, you’re crying? And it breaks my heart to sleep Verse 2: But now it comes to me that the shepherd cries alone What’s that you’re hiding? Well it breaks my heart to sleep Chorus: It breaks my heart to sleep Bridge: Break away

about

New full length record from The Stone Eye. The follow up to "Kevlar, Kryptonite, Gloria" (2018).

For all inquires related to the music (AKA you run a radio station and want free copies, want a review copy, etc etc): talonrecordsUSA@Gmail.com

"The psychedelic moments converge with heavy fuzz, driving guitar riffs and mystical orchestrations which lends the entire album a cosmic vibe. I'm really digging how The Stone Eye lean close to their 70s inspiration. A good choice for this lazy Sunday afternoon." - Boston Rock Radio

"Ventura shows that The Stone Eye aren't afraid to push themselves musically. You can hear it all throughout the album, a band that has improved significantly since their debut.
Ventura is an album that's different, one that is larger in sound and more mature; while still having some kick ass hard rock songs." - South Jersey Philly

"If you dig good stoner music and can handle a good dose of psychedelic music with heavy undertones check out THE STONE EYE." - Schwermetallisch Reviews
