Who will I precede, The fool or the genuine? Tell me there is nothing there, Or would you please spare a note to care. And I can’t come back this time. No, I can’t come back this time! Not after the stars had been found in the night, But after the waves that crashed, whose might, Had debased the walls that hid a cave, Where absurdity is to suffer to save. And I can’t come back this time No, I can’t come back this time! Who would quench the sun, Though the light had been bright, Just to ramble around here in the dark? Who would quench the sun, Though the light had been bright, Just to ramble around here in the dark? I crave for, a happy ending Or even a clean break! I need to know, Is this how it goes? Or is this how it’s supposed to end?

Ebb and Flow 05:33
Out from my second story window, I escaped in the twilight breeze. Oneiric hazes slowly slumming. Would these winds blow with me? I chose to evict my ghosts, Reclaiming my redemption, I can feel them following me, Pining for my affection. Do you feel the common thread? Keep your fucking ears to the ground. Before it all, comes crumbling down. Under this covering Through the course of my memories Fear, can come in different strains That you will never know Don’t expect me to forget This concentrated message That rips right through The steel wall Favored whims regress through passage Reticent my body screams A love complex always does damage, Oh, but that’s what I need. Do you feel the common thread? Keep your fucking ears to the ground. Before it all comes crumbling down. Under this covering Through the course of my memories Solace, can come in different strains, That you will never know I need to know! What my life will bestow Or can I even grow Oh, what will I become? Guilty burdens I have supplicated, paralyzes, Like the venom in my veins Ebb and flow I lay my body on the shore To wash my life clean Maybe, I don't need you But the shrine should always be in view To remind the ones that never had The on, there with them hand in hand To cross the line here in the sand Guilty burdens I have supplicated, paralyzes, Like the venom in my veins Ebb and flow I lay my body on the shore To wash my life clean To wash my life clean To wash my life clean

Eclipse 03:15
Are you sure, you’re not mistaken? Our future holds our lives suspect In solid precarious positions That outlines the illusions of our conquests And now the echoes of my silence Roll down the cavern walls like cold sweat Twisting and turning, what’s the will of men? Ranting and raving, the spice of life is a blend Eclipsed between the shades and facets Learning to permeate our violent thoughts So we can grow And on the other side of this mountain Are calming waters, can I reach the summit. Grace comes at the cost, Of what we’ve lost. Just like the waves, The moon does make. The ebb and flow, Is what we know. What we know Eclipsed between the shades and facets Learning to permeate our violent thoughts So we can grow

Tell me you didn’t let go of your heart? Because it’s the most significant part Don’t you go looking around for the arms That could bring a remission from a stall A star, extinguished ball of frozen plight Messengers recoil in fright From unstable thoughts within open minds And feelings so dark, in the light Paranoia robs a broken fever Riches spoil the endless vast of creatures When all you wanted was to feel But nevermore, will I see you What would you say when I see you Walking by in my dreams? What would you say when I see your face Fleeting through these scenes? Are you afraid to go? Are you afraid to go? Are you afraid to go? Are you afraid?

The Boat 04:27
Just like the boat That sailed through the barge Had no means to stop Towards the shore it charged You are blind to the light Always walking through the dark You’ve been pushed far away Honey, where’s the line been drawn? Anxious trembles beneath the sheath Whittle riddles from this mess Into a flowing stream To dip your face and drown your fears Then run to the streets Seven years of bad luck With the Mother of Deceit Take your chances here my friend With the warmth of company But, there is a fire inside this room That burns inside of you Rage compels, you must ensue Before, this slow burn engulfs you And love the way it is, will ride deserted heels Banished to urban throes you lost your inner zeal To create this monumental stride towards grace concealed Within conflict thrives the wounds that never heal Bellow for the life that left Never knowing why The mirror tricks the past to tell What in the future lies You hear wise words bereft of wisdom Letting impulse decide The path that should be chosen Arrogant are your cries But, there is a fire inside this room That burns inside of you Rage compels, you must ensue Before, this slow burn engulfs you And love the way it is will ride deserted heels Banished to urban throes you lost your inner zeal To create this monumental stride towards grace concealed Within conflict thrives the wounds that never heal Anxious trembles beneath the sheath Beckon reason from the deep I’m sorry For what we made you I’m sorry For what we made you

about

House Blends is the bold, independent output by Matt Dellecker that creates a sound of his own. "Well, I grew up listening to Elvis, because that was my sister's favorite and also listened to George Jones, because that was my dad's favorite. So, I think after kind of making my rounds listening to rock, thrash metal, ambient music, post-rock, jazz, and blues, I sort of liked the idea of simply being a singer-songwriter like George Jones and Elvis, but also having a sound like the bands I was listening to on my own."

Songs like 'Eclipse' and 'What Would You Say?' are the best blends of Dellecker's songwriting and musical abilities. The textural and dynamic blends throughout the album really push the boundaries for the standard singer-songwriter. House Blends is an album that is saturated with passion and aggression that it is not just an album to be heard, but to be felt. "This whole project came from a concept after I wrote a few songs and had the 'House Blends' title on it. Many great moments in life stem from the times you socialize at a bar or coffee house where you met new friends, start new relationships, or get closer to current friends. I was looking at that gateway that coffee brought people together, and because that was possible the antithesis was, as well. So, this album was just away to look all the portals of loss, socialization, togetherness, independence, and dedication, that are open to us when getting a cup of coffee and learning about each other and ourselves."

Still, this is the first batch of songs by the New Jersey native, who is already planning on the next project. "I made House Blends in just a few short months of writing at the end of 2012, but they really took shape at the open mics I would attend around my area. This was the first go-around I had performing by myself so I spent the time finding my own sound and letting the songs take shape on their own live. So, with the next group of songs, I am going to go at creating the same way. Although, I am in the process of fleshing out my stage set up, and I expect the sound will be larger and much more intense.'
