    “Kill the Light” is SYSTEM SYN’s latest and most synthpop-oriented album to date. Expertly mixed and mastered by Ted Phelps (Imperative Reaction), the album takes the listener on an emotionally engaging journey, showcasing Carney’s vocal and lyrical talents like never before. The songs of “Kill the Light” range from haunting and heartbreaking, to heavy-hitting club tracks, yet all retain the sound that is so uniquely SYSTEM SYN. "Kill the Light" also features backing vocals and guitar on selected tracks by SYSTEM SYN live members, Tash Cox and Scott Landes.

lyrics

in the light
another time
another life that could be mine

a story made
to fit the part
the image of the man
you thought must live inside the art

drew your blood
to draw the line
you were crossing back and forth in rhyme
you never even thought to shut your mouth

cut your flesh to fit the scar
tell the lie of who you are
but you never were that hard to figure out



kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing to be said
that would not make you want to die

kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and told them it was art

it’s a lie to say they want you
to always tell the truth

no one cares what you’ve been through
they didn’t want you
they only came to…

kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing you could say
when they were longing for a lie

kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and promised it was art

they needed you to be
better than them
better than anyone could be

but you were human
damn your heart

who can say why
or what reasons drove you
you always said that you would live and die for art

kill the light
in your eyes
was there nothing to be said
that would not make you want to die

kill the light
bring the dark
you punished them for loving you
and told them it was art

die for art
die for art
die for art
die for art
