sew the pink and all the red together to create something that you'd be proud of to say she danced while she cleaned today he slept for too long again I don't wanna be that kind of man far from being perfect err on the side of neglect but no one wants to have that kind of plan maybe i'm much too picky maybe I'm afraid it's just a game coffee black with sugar walls try and find me if i say nothing maybe i'm much too picky stealing time and sex i'm ashamed coffee black with sugar walls you won't find me if i say something i'll just sit here and wait for some ch-ch-ch change

On Dry Land 04:12
I can only be what's within arms reach say shit I don't mean Inhale a toxic scene Pluck those notes for me I don't feel well much anymore Xanax at the door You're all on dry land And am I too? Well that depends A foreign breath Comes and goes into my head But am I sick? Well that depends in truth Who do you know? I'm Just upset so I point Where the blame should go Dizzy eyes hide beneath the flower's hug The king and queen have all but given up Goodbye It ain't right Goodbye And goodnight If it feels not quite right I can only hope it is Let my worried mind back in

Waiting takes time Splitting hairs until I'm bald or unsure Asleep so soon? I guess I knew that I wouldn't let her bloom Hey you seem sad to me But so young, we should try to stay that way What can I do about my ugliness? With sad eyes I hope it's me that you miss Rot and drop my seed Hate me for being me

My Friends 05:24
My friend has a few problems My friend across the hall My friends are in the past tense Ain't it so silly somehow? Yeah I see beyond the frozen grass Into the rust new parents pass But That's not what gets to me No its the time I bleed Wasted songs sing endlessly My friends are in the past tense And as lonely as can be Ain't it silly that I don't get How to be happy? I guess it's not my color but it looks good on you I know I know I rarely speak Come back come back I'll make you see What is it now you can't believe? I fucked up most everything I'm so bored I know I dance like a marionette, pull the strings and my heart bends To me to me it just seems strange Toss out a word in passing Do my lies corrupt my blame? Could they believe in anything? I'm so old Thoughts in a jar for a rainy day I'm too soft to push things my way So I wait

Skin Walker 05:02
There once was a right time Where I could write a line It wouldn't mean a thing But it was always mine, yeah A night of nosebleeds Sweet, you're so sweet Put me in my place Cus I'd hate to stay awake again I can't change the shape I'll stay another day Love without a try There's a chance, to live another life I don't really care I know that I'm blue My tongue in my cheek But I'm ugly to you, yeah Not a thing on TV And a potent scent of weed Tonight we'll be free From the ghosts and the greed in me My fears are as far as I can throw you Such foolish songs, I'll sing to you No one knows where dreams float to But I'd search for those songs To sing to you But no one wants me to I can't change the shape Of my ugly face Love without a try There's a chance, to find a reason why Love is fear and fear is lonely Stop, you should listen to whatever keeps the whore from your head If I snore in my sleep, will I wake up and not feel a thing? Don't try to understand, pretend you have no demands Love that little kid, he only wants you happy

Prendergast 02:38
Safe there, what's your story? Break bones but never worry New clothes and someone's only Happenstance will end me and you You could always find a way To fuck around and get killed At least I'm not bored Medicate and shower daily Cell phone and breath of babies Innocent until proven guilty Of course this mystery is news Who am I to kiss? I'm Just a little boy fatherless The only thing that's free Costs an ammunition fee

Flower Bored 04:42
I would write a thousand words If I thought that it'd mean the world to you We're here again The ice is mine Your sun will shine I would write a thousand words If I thought that it'd mean the world to you But I think i've lost my patience and my grace Just like this summer heat It won't stay Dancing in a heat mirage because we're close But I know we won't be the same Blooming back and forth I'm flower bored Will we be the same? Bend, don't break It's my mistake Summer runs through the winter months I don't like it but that's not enough Sour love on my sunburned taste buds I'm not bitter I'm just hanging on If our hearts ring out of tune They'll harmonize in June I thought of you and what I should do I don't want to waste you I love you

Cute Things 04:12
Hey, I know you You always glowed through several rooms Now you're you Watch me wish for some hope There's some things I want to say to you But I'll say them when we're sad There's somethings I'll never say to you So I'll leave them under your bed Enoughs enough, I know You're so alone Stay right there, I say It won't hurt to obey Some ugly day A strange pain came and took my smile But I don't mind Because cute things will bury me in time There's some things I want to say to you But I'll say them when we're sad There's somethings I'll never say to you So I'll leave them under your bed Enoughs enough, I know You're so alone Where did you go? I wanna know I'll cut you down so fucking slow

At least 3 times a week I force myself awake Be that as it may I'll hear it all on Saturday In the blackest room somewhere Your dirty blonde affection I follow you up the hill But I'm dragged down back home Another game started with you Ugh, but this one isn't fun As far as I can see You are necessity No one has to know See how far we go Goin up the hill I like the view Someone's probably proud of you At least 3 times a week I see some mistake Be that as it may I'll feel different on Saturday In the blackest room somewhere A hit n run passion I climb my own mountains Could she reciprocate? But maybe she'd say something Like tell me where to go to eat In time I know I'll be in the blue In 40/50 years well you'll be dead too Love is a conquest to say you've done that and Everything you do you know you can't have it back I'm so worried that I waste my days God doesn't give em but he takes em away She's not for me, no she's hardly real Unlike myself, I'm the real fuckin deal Fight like a fool and you'll mess up your clothes Who am I kidding? No one, even that I know

released February 4, 2017

"This is what we would officially call our second album. We put a considerable amount of time, hard work, thought, and passion into this group of songs. All of which were written over the course of about a year and, like everything else we've released, it is all completely self recorded, mixed, and blah blah blah. To put it short, we are very proud of this release. Foreign Breath captures the main idea behind elemantra which is to have a varied sound that still feels cohesive. That was something I felt we strayed from on YFBAY, but fortunately we were able to break out of the comfort zone we had on that to create something familiar, but different. I sincerely hope you enjoy this album as much as we all do. Thanks for taking the time to listen, or even just clicking on the link.

- Justin

Dedicated to Prince."
-Elemantra

Foreign Breath feels like a lost artifact, that delicate find after sifting hours on end through hand-baskets filled with cassettes at the record store. A pure amalgamation of the alternative rock scenes of the 90s, these obvious influences do not deter the band, but rather, enhance the energy that drives behind them. Coupled with the colorful, cloudy musk of instrumentation, and angular, discreetly placed lyricism, Elemantra gives itself a strong underlying feeling of charm and newness that can be found sorely lacking from bands that ride the coat-tails of nostalgia.

Recorded & Produced between 2015 to 2016.

Guitar, Vocals, 6 String Bass, Keyboards, Melodica: Justin
Guitar, Additional Sounds: Brent
Bass: Nick
