Beneath a star filled ceiling of love and trust Four walls opened the dirty eyes of lust In the blind spot of my keyhole view Was the missing piece to that hotel room And there lay a bed that held all the answers Of what was said and done under those covers This war I was fighting was making me crazy And there was only one thing that could save me... (I don't know where to go, I don't know where to be I don't know, I don't know...) He said, "You're too pretty to lie" She said, "You're too tired to try" (lie, try, try) He said, "Can I see you soon?" She said, "I could come back to your room" He said, "What about your ring?" (lie, try) She said, "He'll never know a thing" My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home One wall down, three to go One wall down, three to go ...three to go The backs of my eyes became a cage, maybe the blame was on the rage (my fucking rage) Maybe I didn't read that page that told me exactly what to do (what the fuck should I do?) But I'll tell you what I know for sure, there was nothing that prepared me for (nothing at all) Having to step away from that door for the very last time This is a story of what I found, and how I burnt it to the ground Because I couldn't shake the sound of what happened that night She forgot everything we swore, and it seemed she didn't need much more Than a couple of drinks that he did pour and maybe that old T.V. show (I don't know where to go, I don't know where to be I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know...) My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home My eyes might be open but there's nobody home One wall down, three to go One wall down, three to go ...three to go Goddamn what you... did

I wish I could change how everything has changed I wish I could change how everything has changed The forecast said, "a chance of retribution" I didn't know they were talking about me I wish I could change everything she changed You left our vows in the hotel room that night Now you belong to your words that won't say what, what you did Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) You left your suitcase behind In the clouds of my mind Take another breath and find His drinks are cheap tonight Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) You left our promise behind In the clouds of your mind Changing channels to find Your love was cheap that night Like wine in a whore's heart This song's for you, this song's for you This song is, this song is, this song is, This song is YOU! Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away) Crowd the streets (or push away)

I wish you could see What this did to me Cause you will never know, never know I wish you could see What this did to me Cause you will never know, never know Never know, never know I wish I could sleep And forget you loved someone else that night And what you said but I guess I'll never know I wish I could see That image in your head that makes up the memories Of what you did but I guess I'll never know Did his lips touch yours, were they in your thighs? Did you think of me when you closed your eyes? Did his lips touch yours, were they in your thighs? Did you think of me when you closed your eyes? Was it the alarm clock or your beating heart That woke you up? That woke you up Was it the alarm clock or your beating heart That woke you up? That woke you up I wish you could see What this did to me Cause you will never know, never know I wish you could see What this did to me Cause you will never know, never know Never know, never know I wish I could sleep And forget you loved someone else that night And what you said but I guess I'll never know I wish I could see That image in your head that makes up the memories Of what you did but I guess I'll never know Did you forget to remember me Through the eyes of vacancy Did you forget to remember me Through the eyes of vacancy I can either set this room on fire and watch it burn to the ground Or I could lose my fucking mind, mind, mind, mind mind, mind, mind, mind And then the winds came That fed the flame When I lit the match That burnt that hotel... DOWN! DOWN!

This war won't let me think It fights to keep me awake, and fills my head with decay If I can burn these walls clean I might be able to sleep, and silence the screams Look what its done to me, look what its making me do Burn the cancer from that room, burn the cancer (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the poison from that bed, burn the poison (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the cancer from that room, burn the cancer (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the poison from that bed, burn the poison (I won't let this tear us apart) You knew what I was thinking It was written all over my eyes Burn the cancer from that room, burn the cancer (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the poison from that bed, burn the poison (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the cancer from that room, burn the cancer (I won't let this tear us apart) Burn the poison from that bed, burn the poison (I won't let this tear us apart) This war won't let me think It fights to keep me awake, and fills my head with decay If I can burn these walls clean I might be able to sleep, and silence the screams Look what its done to me, look what its making me do These flames are for putting an end to this war Flames are for putting an end to this war Flames are for putting an end to this war Flames are for putting an end to this war Flames are for... Now with that hotel turned to ash And no more questions left to ask With what you did trapped inside Burning away and leaving my mind Walking away all torn and tattered The street lights explode and shatter Raining down shards of truth I have finally forgiven you I have finally forgiven you Now with that hotel turned to ash And no more questions left to ask (I have finally forgiven you) With what you did trapped inside Burning away and leaving my mind (I have finally forgiven you) Walking away all torn and tattered The street lights explode and shatter (I have finally forgiven you) Raining down shards of truth I have finally forgiven you...

After four years of touring and promoting “A Delicate Impact,” Transpose wrote and released their second album, “Retribution,” in 2011.

“Retribution” is a conceptual storyline written by Brian about a broken man’s reaction to infidelity. It saw the band experimenting more in the studio. Some of the new sounds include the addition of keyboards, samples, and acoustic guitar.
