Carving out our own original presence. Loud, heavy, thumping, meaningful, exploratory, FUN and unique to the point of death.
Welcome! The Enders are a band open to anyone and everyone who loves music. We'll always have free mp3s and consider our fans the most driving and inspiring thing about playing in a fuckin' rock band. We try to do our own thing the best way we can, and we love you all for digging it as much as you do. There's nothing more exciting than a room full of independent thinkers, excitement in the air. Also, thanks to Mikhail St.Denis of Montreal, Canada for his brilliant artwork.

Story behind the song
I felt the theme of being yourself has become really cliched in modern songs so I tried to put an original spin on it. The main message is "don't put yourself in parentheses", as in don't sell yourself short for ease of documentation by the people you meet.
Lyrics
Sometimes it’s easier To deal with you as a footnote Collected actions and reactions Ready at a moments glance Sometimes I can forget you’re a person The way you talk in lyric lines Is so mechanic sometimes You can’t fool me Angry and cold There’s so much more possible Than you will ever know I have no illusions that these Lines are remotely romantic For a time I tried and failed And have no desire to do that shit again You have potential that is leaking Through that exterior of a Hardcore girl with no philosophy It’s kind of hard to see What you never show There’s so much more possible Than you will ever know I’ve been where you’ve been before Walked the dirty streets And wound up crawling on the floor Come join me in my little circle Where innocence is treasured And forever is adored You can’t fool me You can’t fool me There’s so much more possible Than you will ever know
