Ivory Hours - Skeleton

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Can't stop thinking that you're lying to me
When you talk about the others
There’s a body in your closet
And it's breathing, yeah it's breathing

{Pre Chorus 1}
I want the best for you, but you act like you don't need me
And the secrets that you're keeping
Well they're making me believe it
Making me believe it

{Chorus}
Love got you high, then it let you down
Now you only cry when no one’s around

{Verse 2}
You locked up all your memories
So they can't come out to get us
But your heart became a prison
I can't break in, you can't break out

{Pre Chorus 2}
And I know that someone left you feeling like you can't go on
Like your life was just a setting sun
But I need you, yeah I need you

{Chorus}
Love got you high, then it let you down
Now you only cry when no one’s around
Love got you high, then it let you down
If you let me in I can help you out

{Instrumental Bridge}

{Chorus}
Love got you high, then it let you down
Now you only cry when no one’s around
Love got you high, then it let you down
If you let me in I can help you out

edit bio

As bird songs and street noise flutter and swell, a voice flows through the cascading soundscape, singing “we’re living in a dreamworld, so don’t forget it.” It’s a call to arms, a battle cry for introspection that sets the tone for “Dreamworld”, the 2017 release from IVORY HOURS. Weaving through its ethereal sounds and pithy declarations, you feel the nagging suspicion that our world is far from black and white; it’s shaped by our imagination.

Fusing alternative rock with a modern pop aesthetic, IVORY HOURS is a group defined by their resistance to convention— their melodies are massive but ethereal; their anthems soaring, yet intimate. Now based in Toronto, Canada, the band was formed in 2012 by songwriter Luke Roes and later joined by Chris Levesque and Thomas Perquin. Roes’s words are honest and insightful, whether he’s penning treatises on modern love (“Invincible”), feminist anthems (“Shadow Kids”) or delving deeper, musing on ideas of divinity and shared enlightenment in a post religious age (“Dreamworld”).

IVORY HOURS’ sound has come full circle, building on their 2015 release ‘Morning Light’ and commercial radio debut “Warpaint”. Transforming their art-rock beginnings into a farther reaching ethos, “Dreamworld” represents a new era, juxtaposing synthesizers and monolithic hooks with walls of guitar and fuzzed out bass. Simultaneously ambitious and resolute, “Dreamworld” proves that IVORY HOURS is a band you shouldn’t sleep on.
