Treis - Constant Machines

Copied!

Friday night I
Pulled into your driveway and sighed
Guilty I stayed
Wasting time outside
Say your lines now
I’ll say mine to pass the time
“What’s past the closed door?”
I hold out for a lie

These things don’t change;
Constant machines grind ‘til we break
Are we cogs in the wheel?
Or programmed mistakes?

Tourist in my own home;
Marveling at moments that have gone
Pass around the burden
Stretch again to catch your fall
Recognize me
Worn and rough around the seams
Watching me leave -
Not so crazy you didn’t make a peep

Thesе things don’t change;
Constant machines grind ‘til we brеak
Are we cogs in the wheel
Or programmed mistakes?

Maybe you were right;
“Some things you can’t outrun.”
I just can’t decide
If it’s home I’ve been running from

These things don’t change;
Constant machines grind ‘til we break
Are we cogs in the wheel
Or programmed mistakes?

Biography

edit bio

Treis (or Treis & Friends) is a conceptual Singer/Songwriter project based out of Central Florida, USA. Named after frontman Treis Alexander, the project documents events throughout the singer’s life in a combination of ever-evolving sound, brutal lyrical honesty, and multi-perspective narratives, while using suburbia, classicism, and popular iconography as tools to tell the story.

Treis' style varies greatly from album to album. In their debut project “HOUSES,” the singer takes a quiet, instrumentally bare, and lyrically heavy take on nostalgia, the naivety of childhood, and the concept of what makes a House a home. Meanwhile, their follow up project, “Homesick” moves towards a more electronic pop sound, and focuses more on metaphor (rather than the storyteller writing featured on the first album) to tell their story. In 2020, Treis revealed the singles “Familiar Strangers,” “The Morning After,” “Midnight Wine,” and “No Compromise,” for their third LP “Something Like Home,” which revealed a new sound of heady, cerebral, “Suburban Funk” inspired by Nu-Disco and Synthwave artists of the last four decades, mixed with the introspective, narrative lyrical styling of their early works.

The band consists of members Treis Alexander (Singer, and instrumentalist), Alex Canon (Bassist), and Rafael Castro (Drums).
