There's a Devil 03:11
lyrics
buy track
THERE'S A DEVIL Guilty pleasures, I've had a few Nothing I would confess to you Hidden treasures, buried deep Things that would affect your sleep There's a devil on my shoulder She knows exactly where I live There's a devil on my shoulder She takes more than I have to give I choose my sin when I choose you You know how I wanna feel I lose you win when I choose you The aftermath is all too real There's a devil on my shoulder She's got my ear every day There's a devil on my shoulder I always let her have her way Bow your heads and pray! There's a devil on my shoulder She's made of smoke and alcohol There's a devil on my shoulder And I will disappoint you all There's a devil, there's a devil There's a devil on my shoulder...

Reevaluate 04:36
lyrics

REEVALUATE You think you’re ready for The world you see / that’s clear for sure But man, your vision’s getting poor Stumble blind across the floor Now! Is a good time / to reevaluate To throw a spotlight on some things that aren’t so great Now! Is the right time / for new things to break through Grab the megaphone and shout / I’m so sick of you! Take an inventory If you hate what you see try to change the story Take in every weight and measure Ask yourself, will you crack under pressure Take a good hard look Take a breath, my friend Commit to overcome Until the bitter end Now! Is a good time / to reevaluate To point a middle finger at things I’ve come to hate Now! Is the right time / to push new things through Grab the megaphone and shout / To hell with all of you! Now! Is a good time / to reevaluate To throw a spotlight on some things that aren’t so great Now! Is the right time / for new things to break through Grab the megaphone and shout / I’m so sick of you! I’m so sick of you… Reevaluate! I’m so sick of you… Reevaluate! I’m so sick of you… Reevaluate!

Overcome 03:16

OVERCOME Oh Lord, show me the sun, behind those great gray clouds For once again, again, oh Lord, I am down So far down I can’t get up, without that golden help So oh Lord, show me the sun so I can rise up and sing Overcome! Overcome…Overcome…Overcome… Dear God, I have sinned and I know I’ll sin again For on my knees, I have crawled, and oh lord, I have bled Show me the light, give me the rays, for the trails I’ve yet to blaze And in my path let everyone hear me when I scream, Lord, Overcome! Overcome…Overcome…Overcome… Oh Lord, show me the sun, behind those great gray clouds For once again, again, oh Lord, I am down So far down I can’t get up, without that golden help So oh Lord, show me the sun so I can rise up and sing Overcome! Overcome…Overcome…Overcome… Dear God, I have sinned and I know I’ll sin again For on my knees, I have crawled, and oh lord, I have bled Show me the light, give me the rays, for the trails I’ve yet to blaze And in my path let everyone hear me when I scream, Lord, Overcome! Overcome…Overcome…Overcome…

Thousand-Yard Stare 03:59
lyrics
buy track
THOUSAND-YARD STARE Disconnected, Uninvolved A spooky vegetative state has evolved Unglued, code blue The thousand-yard stare passes right through you Overloaded, tranquilized The circuit board inside is fried I took a wrong turn and to my surprise The wrong turn burned bad things in my eyes Blank slate, mouth open The thousand-yard stare whispers things unspoken Stone-faced, unengaged Timestamped and resistant to change Psyche charred, secretly scarred I'm just an unsigned sympathy card I can't divulge what happened to me I saw things that I can't un-see Checked out, fragmented At the last turning point my spirit was ejected Traumatized, rendered raw The thousand-yard stare sees nothing at all Paralyzed, wiped clean There's no ghost in this machine I saw things I can't un-see I saw things I can't un-see I did things, you can't help me

Things I Think 04:35
lyrics

THINGS I THINK I am not okay / I am not all right Just pass by / Don’t ask why Just get outta my sight We are not okay / we are not all right Listen to the song / just move it along I’m not gonna sleep tonight Heavy breathing / Reason leaving I’m too scared to blink About to crack / from a panic attack Because of things I think I am not fine / I am not well Jagged inside / I can’t describe Why I’m shaking where I fell All is not fine / all is not well Things I think / push me to the brink Right to the gates of hell Heavy breathing / Reason leaving I’m too scared to blink About to crack / from a panic attack Because of things I think Find me a corner Somewhere dark and safe Miss me while I’m gone but please don’t Notice my escape Pour me some water And set it by the bed While I catalog a million things Gone wrong inside my head Because, Because, Because, Because, Because.. Because, Because, Because, Because, Because.. Because of things I think Heavy breathing / Reason leaving I’m too scared to blink About to crack / from a panic attack Because of things I think I am not okay / I am not all right Please pass by / Don’t ask why Please get outta my sight We are not okay / we are not all right It’s all in the song / Everything is wrong I just wanna sleep tonight

Such a Fool 03:19
lyrics
buy track
SUCH A FOOL You haunt that song on the radio Your scent is in the wind when a storm is about to blow Time heals all wounds or so they say But no one ever tells you / the scars are there to stay And I was such a fool / to let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away And yet you walk beside me / every single day Some memories can’t be dismissed A certain look / the last time that we kissed Time is a stream from yesterday Looking back I wish / I never went astray And I was such a fool / to let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away You were my sunrise / but now the sky is gray Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away Such a fool… To let you slip away And yet you walk beside me Torment, tease and bind me Everyday remind me So often undermine me How do you always find me Why can’t you fall behind me It burns deep inside me And that’s my price to pay

Break a Leg 03:44
lyrics

BREAK A LEG Fate pitches another curve Dig deep, unearth your nerve Find your spine and make a stand And try to act like you don’t give a damn… Primed to go to any length Keep a line open to your inner strength Show no fear, voice no regret And try like hell to not forget… It’s all or nothing (all or nothing) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) If you gotta break something (you gotta break something) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) Coach yourself, self-motivate Serve with pride, don't hesitate Storm the stage, own your part And take this advice to heart... It’s all or nothing (all or nothing) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) If you gotta break something (you gotta break something) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) Alright.. It's all or nothing All or nothing All or nothing Show 'em something It’s all or nothing (all or nothing) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) If you gotta break something (you gotta break something) Break a Leg (Break a Leg) All or nothing Break a Leg You gotta break something Break a Leg

about

In 2018, South Jersey rockers King Piece released “Overloaded,” an album of original hard rock and heavy metal songs, which is odd considering that the trio initially formed to become an atypical cover band. Bassist/lead vocalist Michael Chant, guitarist/vocalist Nick Matteo and drummer/backing vocalist Bruce Diller first came together to play sets outside of the same 30 songs every cover band performs, and did just that in small local venues for a couple years. Then the band wanted to know what a King Piece album would sound like, so they dropped learning covers for learning how to write songs with each other and how to record them. The end result – “Overloaded” – seesaws between rock (“Break a Leg”; “Such a Fool”) and heavy metal (“There’s a Devil”; “Things I Think”), with some dips into strange, fun places (“Thousand-Yard Stare”; “Overcome”). Check out “Overloaded” and see what King Piece does next on ReverbNation, Bandcamp. Facebook and Twitter.
