    “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

I wish I knew
I how I could fall down and through
with every line

if falling down the rabbit hole
was the way home

I would crawl my way through glass
leave behind my flesh and bones

leave my veil upon the path
you understand that we’re alone

I’m falling and I’m free
the reckless fool was always me
leaving gravity behind

we hit the ground
but we’re not home

And if we run, oh we’ll kill the light
And if we hide, we go home tonight and lie
we are buying time
to be the last in line

I don’t presume to say I’m right
or that it’s never worth the fight
but if we come to understand all this chaos

we will run, oh we will kill the light
cause if we hide, we go home tonight and lie
no more buying time
to be the last in line

I never know
when it’s right
to say those thoughts can die

how well they tear us up inside
and if we hide them for too long
they take us

under the veil again
where the echoes live
and say they love us
and understand

deny them
and we are left to run

oh we will kill the light
cause if we hide, we go home tonight and lie
no more buying time
to be the last in line

And if we run, oh we’ll kill the light
And if we hide, we go home tonight and lie
we are buying time
to be the last in line

we hold this time
we hold this time
we hold this time
we hope
