Romance 03:40
Been singing this song but can't find the words. All I know for sure is that I'll wind up in a hearse Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die I cant seem to find anyone to cleanse my mind I've tried a hundred times, knowing I'm a putrid man My heels, cold and tired, rollin' through forgotten sands And all I seem to find is something like a new romance "Slain models of fear that reap no remorse!" Exclaimed he without ease among the internal war Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die I cant seem to find anyone to cleanse my mind I've tried a hundred times, knowing I'm a putrid man My heels, cold and tired, rollin' through forgotten sands And all I seem to find is something like a new romance Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die Baby I'm gonna die I cant seem to find anyone to cleanse my mind I've tried a hundred times, knowing I'm a putrid man My heels, cold and tired, rollin' through forgotten sands And all I seem to find is something like a new romance

Rain 04:12
Love, I can't see my fate And this world it is swimming in disdain So, love, here's to shame and the tattered, broken children who will play in torrential rains. Love, the truth remains And this world it it spinning out to space So, love, a toast to fate For there is nothing in this world to stop the pain of torrential rain.

Ambrosia 06:59
She walked out from heaven And saw I was dying. She stood there and she moaned She knew I was dying And she ran, she ran into my arms Yes, she ran, she ran into my arms And she said "Don't close your eyes without sweet ambrosia." "No, don't close your eyes without sweet ambrosia." She walked out from heaven She saw I was dying. She stood there and she moaned Still knew I was dying And she ran, she ran into my arms Yes, she ran, she ran into my arms And she said "Don't close your eyes without sweet ambrosia." "No, don't close your eyes without sweet ambrosia." And she ran, she ran into my arms Yes, she ran, she ran into my arms

Head 03:32
It might take a lifetime, baby Might take you more Seems without reason I'm lazy like I'm comatose All I want is a season of amazement to reify my mind All in all my time is just wasted I can't help it Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Emaciated ease from trepidation You reify my fear A sullen man takes heed of veneration and sees the wonted sneers All I want is to bleed my apprehension and give the wisdom its due All in all the scene of this nation I can't help it Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Well I feel it coming in the morning sun and it's gonna be here when the evening come I don't mind, you know it's in my head It's in my head, you know it's in my head Well I feel it coming in the morning sun and it's gonna be here when the evening come I don't mind, you know it's in my head I can't help it Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Lord I'm gonna lose my Head I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't help it, I'm insatiable I can't... Lord I'm gonna lose my Head Lord I'm gonna lose my Head

Desolation 07:02
The flowing will of boundless subjugation. The stifling heel of specious obligation. A cry of "Lonely! Oh I'm wanting to be free!" The cold dead ground is pressed upon their knees "Baby, won't you bury my mind!" Tremendous sneers have filled these minds with hatred. Impassioned, still, amidst their acquiescence. They cry out, "Lonely! I am lost among the sea!" Upon deaf ears they serve a frightened plea, "Baby, won't you bury my mind!"

Pressure is a wild thing. It can crush and it can create. There are moments when we are forced into a corner, when we have to make a choice. Moments when we take a leap of faith – a decision to press forward with an impossible goal. DEAD LUCID has made the impossible an art. This is a band that, when passed over for opportunities, has learned to create their own. A band that formed only after booking their first gig – with only two weeks to create the songs they’d debut. One of those songs, ‘If You Don’t Mind’, continues to be a mesmerizing, unforgettable closer for their live gigs eight years later.

For a man whose lyrics nearly exclusively express feelings of depression and isolation, lead singer and guitarist Jon Grammer seems right in his element on a brightly lit stage. “It’s one of the only places where I’ve ever felt at home, you know?” There is a real urgency to the music of DEAD LUCID, a sense that all can be lost at any moment. Grammer shows this feeling when the band plays live, throwing his body around the stage in a whirlwind, his long curly locks trailing in the air. It pulls you in and forces you to pay attention. Bassist Ryan Rhoades and drummer Andrew Tschiltsch provide the bedrock with great virtuosity and fervor, creating a foundation filled with both emotion and groove – a combination that is difficult to master. To see DEAD LUCID perform live is to wonder how only three humans can produce such a gargantuan sound.

DEAD LUCID’s journey to finding their sound has been a trying one – wrought with lots of sweat, tears, and honesty. From their beginnings as a clear cut psych-rock band in the vein of Jimi Hendrix and early Tame Impala, to the dark and moody post-punk tracks influenced by the likes of Joy Division and Interpol on their second EP ‘Desolation’, to now seamlessly blending those influences into a style all their own, a sound simultaneously at home with Fontaines D.C., Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, and The Strokes. On their third EP entitled ‘Vision’ we begin to see it all come together for this Chicago band with endless potential.
