Awake 03:04
Watchin’ Price is Right So anaesthetized tonight Feigned reality There’s nothing left but empty Awake Awake Awaken from the dream What you see Is more than what it seems Awake Awake Awaken from the dream Until you do you’re only… Addicts, pimps, and freaks Containment on the city streets Guns to separate Privilege from the senseless Awake Awake Awaken from the dream What you see Is more than what it seems Awake Awake Awaken from the dream Until you do you’re only… Too much time to sit around I’m lost in the cracks I haven’t found I haven’t found Somewhere there’s a place Where all the plastic wrap is draped around my Vacant mind Awake Awake Awaken from the dream What you see Is more than what it seems Awake Awake Awaken from the dream Until you do you’re only…

Embrace 05:18
Fill your cup with hate Fill your cup with kind To reiterate your peace of mind, in my mind With your hopes and fears and your drawn blinds You can hide inside these swollen tears and unwind And I feel And I feel I feel like I don’t belong And I feel And I feel I feel like we don’t belong Every leap of faith, a parade of lies Every fake “hello” and “how are you?”; Never mind With a voice of praise you will lead the blind While a phrase replays you disengage inside And I feel And I feel I feel like I don’t belong And I feel And I feel I feel like we don’t belong Embrace this infected life Engaged in the rage that pulses inside me I feel but I don’t belong I thrill but it’s not for long… Your face has been placed in a permanent sigh Hold it this way to embrace your demise And you’re here And you’re gone

Kaboom 04:16
dreamt i was an atom bomb waiting for the detonating spark counting down the seconds 'til the energy is left to fight its way outside i'm the bomb oh i'm the bomb i'm the bomb oh i'm the bomb awakening awakening oh atom bomb oh atom bomb turning to a glowing sphere with light that swells and burns up all the air around me my body starts to disappear evaporating all that i'm expanding into and i'm the bomb oh i'm the bomb i'm the bomb oh i'm the bomb releasing heat releasing heat oh atom bomb oh atom bomb ...and what goes up must come down again so therefore what breaths fire must breath in again the vacuum in its place is tearing out my lungs and this my fall from grace can never be undone i feel electrons letting go ancient bonds that knew the singularity i see the waves of photons flow as time contracts to infinite compression the atom bomb oh atom bomb the atom bomb oh atom bomb is killing me is killing me and i'm the bomb oh i'm the bomb whoa...................... whoa...................... yeah.............. yeah yeah yeah.............. yeah yeah

By The Sea 04:42
as the wind takes me over be a tree rooted down reaching deep into the soil without a sound without a sound in the sun i feel better branches dance in the breeze gotta pull myself together before the freeze before the freeze and the time slips by each day such a lovely feeling i can hardly say as the wind blows me backward like a reed i pretend with my heart beating faster i will bend and i will bend by the sea i feel better current turns me around feel the chill of the water cool me down cool me down and the water leads the way and where the current wants to take me i can't say but the sea takes me over with a terrible sound feel the waves crash around me sweep my feet off the ground by the sea... by the sea... the tide carries me away out to sea lost at sea in bad weather sky is angry and gray holding fast to the rudder as i'm carried away the waves tip me over eddies spin me around and i long for the days when i had my feet on the ground

they jingle and they dangle like trophies on your boots now get back on your horse and straighten out your noose well great balls fire they're the last you'll ever have when the little ball breaks but don't be sad release your energy release your energy pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground you're a pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground I heard you say it's lonely oh so lonely at the top with your tricky trigger finger poised to make it pop you won't take no shit from any tiny two-bit hood it's okay you're just misundestood (little miss understood) release your energy release your energy pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground you're a pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground (Edith Bunker Solo) "hey" release your energy release your energy pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground you're a pretty little ball breaking on the ground breaking on the ground you're a pretty little ball you're a pretty little ball you're a pretty little ball you're a pretty little ball you're a pretty little ball

Fire It Up 03:34
a stark transition loading up ammunition big fire idol virgin lost in subversion and the holy rollers stand at the edge of the pyre while the sacred light burns bright it's time to ground the wire plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in clean slate scar tissue clean break first issue back it up to the middle sign reads like a riddle and the pigs are squealing loud at the foot of the spire they awaken from their trance just before they trip the wire plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in too late your intrusion isolate the illusion radiate this cancer i'm the soul but you're the answer now the blind see through the scam and the make believe attire got no time to hesitate when you're hanging from a wire plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in fire it up plug it in

Flight Plan 04:00
fear of falling losing sense of pitch and yaw engines stalling can't break this fundamental law sometimes bad apples have to fall down from the tree <it's bringing me down> falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulling down falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulls me down falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulls me down fatal attraction though a weaker force cannot be found speed increases and i start to feel weighted down 6 million pounds of thrust and i could reach escape velocity if i could only let go no fuel to make a change to my trajectory falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulling down falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulls me down falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulls me down changing direction becoming weightless as i fall feels like flying as i'm dropping like a cannon ball muscles freezing from increasing entropy falling <falling> falling <gravity> gravity pulling down down down falling falling falling down

Believe 03:34
it looked like you were tangled in a half pipe hurricaine asking for a favor from a scrap yard hobo king he pointed to his castle as he took you by the arm and for the moment a part of you survives then the ground starts shaking as the Venus drops her charms now i believe in all the things that rescued you and i can see... i believe that dreams were all that pulled you through and now i see there behind the curtain your three penny tragedy a late night flight to Boston and a glass of antifreeze and as the prophets warned the king is choking at your feet and now i see all the things that haunted you and i believe i can see through vision blurred by solitude now i believe shaken and disoriented banished underground waiting for the verdict but it isn't that profound the queen removes your chains and starts parading you around now i believe in all the things that rescued you and i can see... that i believe that dreams were all that pulled you through and now i see

Featuring "Kaboom" and "Pretty Little Ball," Magneto Effect's debut EP, Nothing, is available on vinyl and for download. Be sure to check out the videos below.

"Pretty Little Ball"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW8St8W9Po0

“This stylish, theatrical music video for Minneapolis alt-rock quintet Magneto Effect's "Kaboom" was directed by local filmmaker Justin Staggs [Foo Fighters, NOFX], and features the contributions of plenty of local talent. The boisterous track is lifted off of the band's forthcoming EP, Nothing, which is due to be released in early 2014, both digitally and on vinyl. The cinematic clip perfectly captures the scope and tenor of the track itself, and serves notice that we should be hearing plenty more from Magneto Effect in the upcoming year.”
