Mars /// Walking and it's cold So come on in. We've got liquor and stars. Climb up to the rooftop, someone's on about his trips He thinks he's been to Mars See you from across the room, but it's not you And I don't want to settle, but I'm falling down, and there's nobody there /// Why Can't I Feel Tonight /// Running around and feeling dead It's an unwelcome aftertaste of always trying to get ahead And running into walls I swore I'd climbed before I guess we all come around again Standing at the party with the friend of the friend, and it's absolutely superficial They wouldn't hear a single word I'm saying Why can't I feel? Why can't I feel alive tonight? Why can't I feel? I just want my heart to beat tonight Why can't I feel? I know why I'm not right tonight Why can't I feel alive? I don't think I'll make it up for Christmas this year See I got no money anymore and I wish you were here But I love going to bed and seeing your face again I don't want to let it out of my mind Girl, I still don't know you like I know that I should I think about you constantly. Don't know how to talk to you Have to choose between the dream and staying Why can't I feel? Why can't I feel alive tonight? Why can't I feel? I just want my heart to beat tonight Why can't I feel? I know why I'm not right tonight Why can't I feel alive? Hey honey, have you seen all this before, what you say we leave it all behind? Hey honey, how about running out the door. I just want to see a face tonight.

I Arise 03:44
I arise in the morning, I don't want to get out of bed In my mind I'm ignoring, what I should've done and what should've been said I should I should've said I arise in the morning, I don't want to get out of bed In my mind I'm ignoring, what I should've done and what should've been said I should, I should've said. I was so wrong for so long about the meaning of love And I'm sorry you saw me so far gone And I'm fine 'cause you were mine if only for one night Yeah, I wake up to that Control, It was the power I lacked And oh, I wish I could take it back But time moved so quickly way back then, but I made the realization too late But now I'm making up for lost time I arise in the morning, and I'll be happy I'm where I'll be And in my mind I'll be ignoring why I'm so happy you tried to change me and why I'm so sorry that I didn't see I should I should've said

Don't try and block out the sun Somebody put it there for everyone And if you block the party beams, who will have the fun? Don't you go and block the sun Don't go and nail down the trees They may get angry and kill all the bees then we'll have no honey for to drip into our teas Don't you go and nail the trees You can break me, I don't mind I got love and love's got time Hate me, crash my dreams This world's so much more than this world seems And break me. defeat me. It's ok. 'Cause I don't want to play the game Don't leave the children behind They've got the hearts and the beautiful minds 'Cause if we let them down, they won't come around Then we won't be so divine You've got a problem Mr. Delune Oh no, you fancy that it's winter, when it's probably June Go out and seize all that day Go find a forest, frolic and play And if they think you're crazy, you're going the right way I think you're going to be ok.

Morning Rain 04:37
I know there's a blowing wind Oh So when you knock I let you in Oh Feels good to get out of the rain Feels good to laugh away the pain Girl, you know my hands are tied, but I can dry the tears you cry till morning, morning I'm happy that it's just us two, so I can fall in love with you 'till morning comes I hear that your boyfriend's mean Oh And there's a side of me that you haven't seen Oh Feels good to look into the dark Feels good to finally feel a spark Talking 'bout loving and heaven and everything, then I hear the doorbell ring for morning, morning Knocking the door angrily so I get up and go to see to morning who's come Latch turned I open up the door Oh Sun says I can't see you anymore Oh Feels good to walk into the rain Feels good laugh away the pain Tell me what am I to do I went and fell in love with you, in morning rain Speaking easy hard to find after went and lost my mind the the morning rain. Feels good to step into the light Feels good to swear off all the night 'Cause when the shadows hid my view, just saw what I wanted to 'till morning came Now I've come to find my peace. I'll be fine, my mind at ease in the morning rain.

Lollipop 02:50
There's a latent premonition of my aimless head There's a welcoming sedation and it wants me dead There are several bands of Ivy vying for my throat The more I try to pull them away, the more that they like to choke There's an erudite, steeped history smiling in my face Saying time's a broken record, and we loop in place If you're fixated on the moment, then your mind can rest And you don't have to pull it away. Next time the track will play. I see it now. I was just caught up in everything. Fly me out, and my string will change Someone's watching me

about

Holdfast broke up in 2011. To check out what the boys are up to now, head to terriers.bandcamp.com and lampbandcamp.bandcamp.com

"This EP plays more like something that would hail from the West Coast, a smooth-rocking surfer's nightcap. With twinkling guitar lines, warbling vocals and folky breakdowns, every song off Like The Sun could be the soundtrack to the picturesque scene that's splashed across the EP's cover."

- Gapers Block

Tony Sackett of Warm Ones once described them as "the best band in Chicago born after Return of the Jedi was released."
