Fear 02:02
Say goodbye to yourself Fear takes the wheel Fear Say goodbye to your friends Fear holds your hands Fear
2.
Lies 05:27
I could wait for days I will find you Patiently Still We drank ‘til the well went dry Then we ran ‘til the pavement stopped I see it You’ve been reckless With my heart You’re the reason That I’ve stopped feeling I lifted it too high I buried myself alive With lies You’re the reason That I stopped feeling Close your eyes Breathe it in You’ve got to feel this way You keep them at a distance Then you dance away The end of our existence Is this too good to be true? It sounds too good We say so much I’ve lost myself Somewhere between Separated Conditional And no harmony
3.
Wanderlust 05:08
Cross the line What does it taste like? Wanderlust What is it you find right or wrong? It’s just empty Space and thought Separate from the flock Reason The reason I can’t forget Fearless We walk into We walk through the infinite Cross the line Swallow the big lies Wander lost Whatever you find Right or wrong I’m left empty Crawling home Separate from us all These streets belong to us We lay down all the stone Our blood absorbed now In this land So tell me who to trust Purchase the weakest minds It’s fine I’m sure they’ll understand
4.
White Cloud 04:45
Seek the shelter Lock yourself inside You and I We both were born to die Consequence has left me On the fence A casualty of love Of friends Of lies The fear of moving on The fear of failing now It’s left me here And it’s locked me in All I feel is gnashing of teeth This is hell we’ve created Somehow we’ve caught fire Brace yourself for what’s to come The aftermath is obvious Somehow we’ve caught fire Everyone that we know Makes promises They don’t keep them And we don’t forget them Out here the true forsake us Beware of the clueless fakers Out here the truth is forsaken Beware the clueless
5.
We Are Awake 04:14
Absent of faith And I can’t stop this backslide Pull on the string And you unravel all of me Hate It’s within me I know exactly what it means Fear of the unseen It builds inside of me Time will rest us all We should live for tonight Power feeds on soul No hidden hands Will ever liberate us We are alive We are awake Time will rest us all We should live for tonight Erased from the past From the pages We put our faith in anything Fear of the unseen It builds inside of me Do you feel like God? Do you feel like you’re Out of sight, out of mind? Do you feel like God? Do you fear that you’re out of sight?
6.
You were young And opened up your heart You let me in You let it in What’s the worst thing That could happen? Not again I was a bastard I was a coward I could never imagine What was to come You are the one We could share this love ritual Touch and thought Come save me from myself In the end we are dust and bone Lost and gone Come feel this while we can You could run But I would not catch on Youthful spirit Still crushed Didn’t deserve to stand in the light Or behold the beauty I was a bastard I was a coward I could never imagine What was to come You were the one
7.
Someone Else 04:46
Down the path most follow All hope is lost Men lay down their guns Women hold their tongues For this hollow weeping willow Shades educated friends and thieves Maybe I need to be Loved by someone else I need to be Hurt by someone else You had one taste of freedom Now I don’t have a believer I had so much hope for myself Now I hate myself And I give so much hurt To everyone else You’d think I hated Everybody else Care what you wait for You’ve lost it Fearful of what you wish for You’ve lost it Careful what you care for Now you’ve lost it all I have seen it all before I have heard the sound above

about

PWRS is an experience. Born out of a shared love of music and experimentation, PWRS is an exploration of sound. That sound pays tribute to propulsive, pocket rhythms, haunting, atmospheric melodies and the immeasurable effects of musical obsession.

Brandon Welch and Todd Turner formed PWRS in the wake of Far-Less. After several years of operating under the standard issue “rock band” label, the two were eager to find something new. Where previous efforts may have been bound by live performance and critical reactions, PWRS constructs its songs with no regard for those past limitations. Like a painter, the group builds and layers its arrangements of percussion and harmony until it simply feels right. PWRS has liberated Welch and Turner.

Fear is seven songs built around the idea and definition of the word -- fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of death. While the themes are prevalent in the lyrics, the music carries the message. The shadowy title track introduces a collection of songs laced with influences of trip-hop, new wave, psychedelic rock and alternative.

The release is the product of hard work and dedication, over several years. Welch and Turner did have some help with Fear. They enlisted House of Fools’ Matt Bowers to co-produce and lend his talents on bass and keyboards. Guitarist Joel Kiser contributed performances to "We Are Awake" and "Someone Else".

Fear is only the beginning. It defines the motif for many conceptual releases to come. With the newfound inspiration and lack of boundaries, it’s hard to predict where PWRS is headed. Like most of us, they’re just looking for something to pour their heart and soul into.
