about

Recorded completely in an Austin, Texas 1 BR apartment, "Linear is a labor of love between 3 working musicians that found time between their busy schedules to track a 9+ minute prog rock monster! Don't let the length fool you! It has plenty of changes, hooks, and odd time signatures to keep you interested. This is Oreja's debut single with Come And Take It Records, a grassroots & artist-focused label based in Austin, Texas!

lyrics

My mind replays
All the things that have built and destroyed us
Who are we to say
Who lives, who dies, who gets to enforce this?
Together we sink
But we deserve to rise
We’re crushed under the feet of our mores and lies
And I shouldn’t complain
Yes this life has been good
Yet I feel there is more
Something misunderstood of this world...
Memories fade
Treading water, no raft to support us
Content to stay
With a life of unchallenged cowardice
And day after day
We all go into work
It’s improvement they say
But we’re sweeping the dirt
How long can this stagnate?
Exhausting resources
Before the hand that feeds
Decides to ignore us?
We’re alone…
What now? What now? Where do we go?
A sense of purpose arriving so, so slow
I can’t just wait here. This much I know
What now? What now? Where do we go?
Don’t take the whole thing
Please leave a slice for my
Worn, dusty saddle
I still can’t meet your eye
It entertains you
You’re waiting for the day
Retaliation
Has never been my way
Break the circle
Make it linear
Not just linear, make it ascend
Because we’re kings
And we’re queens of the land!
Take what you need
Pass it down
There is plenty to go around
What the day brings
What the night brings
What we’ve found!
