about

The first single off the upcoming debut LP "This Machine Kills Scenes", "Short-Term Memories" was written in the late winter of 2018 and was one of the first songs to be performed by Martin back when LTE was a solo/acoustic project.

The song was inspired by Martin's battle with insomnia and depression while being away from his family while traveling. The song's original title was "Short-Term Memory Lost".

lyrics

I Look into the mirror, I can't see the sin
Where do my compromises end when they begin
Who am I to apologize for what I feel within
I just can't face the lies I tell myself again

The phone hangs up and the thoughts go dark
And I can feel my head spin
Who the hell writes this shit?
Can they answer a few questions?
Time is wasted that’s my curse,
I need an alarm clock
One more thing before I stop...

I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …

I close my eyes, can’t fall asleep,
What happens when this ends,
Will we all float away into the nothing,
Panic grips my every thought,
The cycle Spins and spins
I wanna fall asleep,
but I’m thinking of you again

The phone hangs up and the thoughts go dark
And I can feel my head spin
Who the hell writes this shit?
Can they answer a few questions?
Time is wasted that’s my curse,
I need an alarm clock
One more thing before I stop...

I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …

One last time I’m thinking will I ever sleep again?
When did my reality become a figment I am in?
Insomnia and bad thoughts, cancer from within
I’m not lost but I have no clue Where have I been?

The phone hangs up and the thoughts go dark
And I can feel my head spin
Who the hell writes this shit?
Can they answer a few questions?
Time is wasted that’s my curse,
I need an alarm clock
One more thing before I stop...

I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought …
I forgot my thought, Yeah?

about

Less Than Expected Ashtabula, Ohio

Hailing from the frozen tundras of North Eastern Ohio, Less Than Expected burst onto the scene with their unorthodox mixture of noisy feedback-driven hard rock. Mixing Grunge/Punk infused power chords with melodic overtones and sardonic but veraciously introspective lyrics. Less Than Expected were quickly labeled “Sludge Punk” by the locals and have devotedly embraced the title. ... more
