every one act natural, everyone act casual, and everyone just pretend that it's in your good nature- to look like you just got caught, like a deer in the headlights, if it's gonna be now, it's gonna be tonight that I get you home- don't sit there just lettin' me waste your precious time. slight of hand turns to a fist, underneath the table- it's gonna get a tighter grip on your better judgement. shaking hands with the senator of the new administration- if it's gonna be now, it's gonna be tonight that they get your vote...don't sit there just letting me waste your precious time.

don't walk away from this decision- you talk now in terms and conditions. If there's something you want to say- then let it out...'cause I feel like there's something You always run before talking- never stop to look around while you are walking I'm just a chalk-line you're rubbing out...I'm starting to have my doubts...doubts So life didn't turn out like you thought you might want it to When you're dressed in Holy (holey) flesh you can start to see through When all you want to do is drink your fill: Just be careful not to spill It's only the pain we're trying to kill And everything else- is just a peripheral Don't put your faith in ashes- or buildings that come down with loud crashes you bat those lashes when you're lying to me- cause you know that I love you Avalanche on the peak of your mind- you don't wear a watch cause you don't believe in time Your love is an ocean that's just hard to find- am I drowning or swimming?

brother k 04:11
brother Ivan is sick in the head- he's being paid visits by the devil again- who's immaculately dressed (though in yesterday's fashion), but he's providing stimulating conversation brother won't you tell the secrets of hell to the angel at your feet brother dmitri, what have you done- there's blood on your hands and shirt and you're on the run. the law is after you- they know what you did do- they're coming to avenge a father's cry brother illegitimate- who's prone to falling down cellar doors and brain fits- with a twisted heart and a plotting mind- his fate is at the end of a rope and a note left behind.

love sap 04:08
you are a whisper that is shouting in my ear you are a far away look that begs me to come near you are the taste of salt that rolls with every tear you are a push, a shove- that pushes away the fear you are a subtle smell that makes a clouded past become clear you are a book that speaks in volumes every time you are the words in the vocabulary that just don't rhyme you are the speech that makes me feel I'm in my prime you are an answered prayer when I shouted out for a sign you are a lover's tongue that comforts my soul and weary mind you are the home i've been looking forward to when I've been gone for awhile you are the well-told joke on popsicle sticks, that still kinda make me smile you are the judge who pardoned my guilty ass on trial you are the finish line when I put in my last mile you are the soothing voice on the other side of the phone when I dial and i love you

nowhere home 02:38
well you hold on so tight as if it was your own and the days grow dark like the night i was born and the answers that were blowing in the wind have all blown well, it's hard to find a friend- when they have all gone so you travel the highways and bi-ways you roam and you look to the sky-ways, which you have flown and the somewhere, we're all looking for is a nowhere home well, it's hard to find a friend- when they have all gone now the addictions and vices, to which I am prone i have yet to struggle against- to the point that I groan and the garden i was given, out of it i was thrown well, it's hard to find a friend- when they have all gone so you pray through the night, hope to make it to dawn and the cross that you bare, well you bare it alone would you do it all again, given all that you've known? well, it's hard to find a friend- when they have all gone now Jesus, he sits on his heavenly throne and for my sins, his blood has atoned and one day i'm gonna wear a robe that is yet to be sewn but, it's hard to find a friend- when they have all gone

TEN 03:16
but there is something i have learned- there is something wrong with the world i feel like shattered glass on the floor- shards sharp enough to draw blood too self-absorbed to know when to shut the fuck up never willing to take the chance always too eager to blame my circumstance yeah, there is something wrong with the world and it's me, yes it is me it's me and all my complacency it's me and my apathy oh, Jesus- what a mess I have made when I've played all the cards I had left to play well, this bed that I'm lying in is the one that i have made but I've heard sinners make the best saints Jesus, savior, friend- won't you save me from myself?

about

03 to TEN is the follow up EP to Knathan's 2003 "Vincible". During this period of seven years- Knathan added a consonant, moved to the East Coast and back to Seattle; wrestled with addiction, death, faith, love and direction. This album reflects the process of this period- with themes of loneliness, doubt, conflict, and moments of hope.

03 to TEN is a step away from solely acoustic songs and folksy charm of Vincible: fuzzed out guitars, keys, drums, bass and even cello- the music is also a reflection of the larger overall themes.

Dynamics and range are explored from "brother k" (a narrative of Dostoevsky's great Brothers Karamazov) to the rockabilly feel of "Nowhere Home" and lean toward sincerity on "Love Sap".

Knathan has begun performing these songs with a rowdy bunch known as the Silent Ks, around the Pacific Northwest. Recording has begun with the Silent Ks and a few singles plan to be released later in 2011.
