    “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

whatever burns inside
whatever poison seeps in
we keep it locked away from sight
so it’s not real to you

and the light is a lie
that we hold in our hearts
till we die

we can’t go home
we cant be here
we set this fire

but if all roads
will end in tears
then what good is desire

time has a twisted mind
a vicious sense of humor
if there’s no point to us
then why not start the rumor

words that lived in pages torn and burned
remain unsaid
the lines are down
the lights are out
or is that in my head

and the line is a lie
that we draw in our hearts
till we die

we can’t go home
we cant be here
we set this fire

but if all roads
will end in tears
then what good is desire

time has a twisted mind
a vicious sense of humor
if there’s no point to us
then why not start the rumor

are you living in the moment
moving mountains every minute
is your little life still lonely
is the light always a lie

we can’t go home
we cant be here
we set this fire

but if all roads
will end in tears
then what good is desire

time has a twisted mind
a vicious sense of humor
if there’s no point to us
then why not start the rumor
