Grow 03:25
Look into your small, tight world Can you see a change Take away the fancy packaging Are you really great I could take you up into the sky But you would deflate I could show you new beginnings A place where you could breathe, and grow You never will No, you always slide down Grow Run around with two faced boars You're bound to get bit Walking around with a ten cent grin Questioning when you'll grow You never will No, you'll always slide down Grow I can't take another moment Pondering your implosion Do yourself a great service And make some room to, to grow You never will No, you always slide down All the way down Grow

The Wolves 03:07
The wolves are out Can't you see Yea, but they look like me Hate's their game, it's plain to see This is not, not my creed Would you really let this stand Could you really let this be Would you really let this stand Could you really let this be And they're ready Ready to pounce But we've laid the trap Pounce The wolves are back We'll break their backs The wolves are out The wolves are out The wolves are out The wolves are out And they're ready Ready to pounce But we've laid the trap Pounce The wolves are back We'll break their backs Pounce Pounce And they're ready Ready to pounce But we've laid the trap Pounce The wolves are back We'll break their backs

Almost Home 03:58
What's the time Is it crawling by I can't seem to put my finger on it But I'll do my best to try What's with the sky What's with this guy I'm locked in question prison Trying to explain my state of mind And I'll be fine Well you go on home And I'll stay behind I can run the show I'll collect the dough I can go it alone and I'll be just fine We came here on business Now I can't find a friend Everybody's just selling and buying And taking and trying And creeping and crawling And temperature's falling And the landscape is sprawling And I can't find a friend As soon as the sun comes up I'll be just fine Why is it bright It's the dark of night I'm walking down a path I can't see But I know it's right I'll be fine Just give me time The highways signs are melting by When I'm home I'll be fine And I'll be fine We came here on business Now I can't find a friend Everybody's just selling and buying And taking and trying And creeping and crawling And temperature's falling And the landscape is sprawling And I can't find a friend As soon as the sun comes up I'll be just fine And I'll be fine Just as soon as I'm home And I'll be fine Just as soon as I'm home Home Just as soon as I'm home Home Just as soon as I'm home

Dexterity 04:31
He wakes up in the cold Rubs his eyes Smokes the day's first cigarette Through sighs Today's the day I'm gonna make my way he cries He thinks of love and knows he lies And it seems so wonderful he wishes he could take it Every time he gets close he just breaks it Picks the pieces up and tries to remake it Some day they will finally fit She drives home late at night Wondering when she'll get it right Forlorn in solitude, she can't see the light Thinks of love, wonders if it's always a fight And it seems so wonderful she wishes she could take it Every time she gets close she just breaks it Picks the pieces up and tries to remake it Some day they will finally fit And they know And they know they're only a moment away And it seems so wonderful they wish they could take it Every time they get close they just break it Pick the pieces up and try to remake it Some day they will finally fit

The Loop 04:50
Fill in the spaces I have left Fill them with concrete, no new guests Every time I let one in, I soon regret Cus they take all of my things, and leave me a mess Still I try, still I try, I try to make it again When will I find, when will I find, when will I get to the end I've made bad time, made bad time, but that's just my trend There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again Show me new faces, I guess Show me something I can impress Cus I know where this goes, I like it less and less I've been down, down that road all of my life Still I try, still I try, I try to make it again When will I find, when will I find, when will I get to the end I've made bad time, made bad time, but that's just my trend There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again There is no end, there is no end, the loop starts again

A gun, a gun for everyone We're all gonna die too young Ain't nobody having fun Underneath the growing sun A gun, a gun for everyone And ain't nobody having no fun, no fun A gun, a gun for everyone Ain't nobody having fun We're all gonna die too young Underneath, underneath the growing sun We're all gonna die too young Underneath the growing sun

I'm just trying to use my mind And I don't wanna lose my time It's all that's left and I'll confess I can feel it flying by It's something just out of reach Comfort, a place to breathe I can remember a time When I was just standing in line So then I stepped out of line Cus I don't want to lose my time I just want to use my mind I know there will come a day When I can see it all another way And then I'll finally be free And tell the world all that I see Or maybe just yell bip, boop, beep It's out there within my reach Total awareness, bliss, and peace We could slip society's grasp Escape a broken world filled with trash What would you think about that I don't want to lose my mind I just want to use my time And I'll confess I'm such a mess But I'm getting closer Closer all the time I just want to take my time But what if I just lose my mind Well maybe all the answers are on the other side Bip, boop, beep Or maybe all I'll ever do is fall shy of the line

Bide My Time 05:29
Into the dark There’s barely room to breathe After the crash Your trace is still left on me Try as I might It’s still too dark to see Try as you don’t Please just let me be And crash goes my dreams And smash goes my memories And push me back I won’t mind, it’s just wasted time Bide my time That’s all that I can do Count your sheep You’re dreaming if I see you And crash goes my dreams And smash goes my memories And push me back I won’t mind, it’s just wasted time

about

'We Made This For You' is The Big Sway’s second full-length album, and an experimental multi-media anthology, or FULL VIDEO ALBUM.

Watch 'We Made This For You' in it's complete form on The Big Sway's YouTube channel here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGiJ5LeuuzjqzuHW5gQKDYC0_yV-6t5o

The music on 'We Made This For You' was produced in 2018 and 2019, and originally slated for a 2020 release. When the pandemic arrived, the band reimagined how to present this album in a changed world. Inspired by a society interacting almost entirely online, bassist and visual artist, Joe MacFadzen, assembled a team of video creatives to expand this musical album into a fully visual, online experience. A unique music video was created for each of the eleven tracks. Together, the videos are a time capsule, and a gift of honest entertainment offered by The Big Sway and their friends, to you.
