METAL!
Aaron Charles started as a joke. "When we first got together and started messing around writing songs we were going for the paradigm of what as out at the time", says guitarist Zach Campbell, "We just wanted to write typical death metal songs with lyrics and just make the songs altogether nonsensical and funny." What started out as a joke soon became serious around February of 2008, when the band settled down and finished their first song "The Tragedy of Corona del Mar". After many more months of writing and a vicious reforming of the bands line-up, Aaron Charles had put the finishing touches on their five song EP entitled "The Just Face Sessions". Soon after it's completion in late-2008, the band burst out into the local scene in their hometown of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Currently the band is working on their debut full length, not yet titled, and is touring relentlessly in an effort to find and secure their position in the vast niche of the metal genre.

Story behind the song
this song was written as an apology from zach to himself for not looking beyond the faults of his love interest at the time, and subsequently ending their relationship. afterwards, he felt haunted and plagued by the memories and feelings of anger, distrust, and remorse that were weighing him down. 'paper hearts' is an ode to his lost lover, an apology to her and himself, and a reminder that upon reflecting inwardly he was able to break himself down and rise up reformed.
Lyrics
i've memorized every breath you took took to heart all those misleading looks now all those unwanted thoughts i keep with which i recite myself to sleep but as sure as the breath that's in your lungs you can sleep so soundly knowing your not the only one to recite a promise and break its neck the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked above all things who can know it, but you i've wanted to get this off of my chest for so long and for so long i've been trying until now i've been sleeping in a bed that i've constructed out of anger, jealously, and heartache today i realized that sleeping in the bed that i've made will never change what has happened i need to wake up this has been the closest thing to my heart and the farthest from it i owe this apology more to myself than to you i should have showed you that you mattered to me more than what you did to break us apart i'm taking what i've built and tearing it down i'm taking what i am and breaking it down i'm breaking down i am breaking down
