It's Time 04:01
I’m just walking around with something valid to say But I don’t make a sound cause no one’s talking today I just do what I’m told cause I’m so afraid To be the one who lives life in a different way So I just move along like a machine Plugged into computers and television screens I’m a puppet hanging from my little strings Doing what I’m told to do, thinking how I’m told to think I’m losing my mind and I’m losing my soul Cause I’m so paralyzed by the life that I know But the future relies on the way that I grow So it’s time to stand up and let this world know I’m gonna make a change, I’m gonna stand up on my feet I’m not gonna go away, no not that easily I’m gonna say the things others don’t wanna say I’m gonna dance and sing and I’m gonna do it my way They tell me I can choose the left or choose the right But there’s no in-between, no it’s just black and white But I can choose the side on which I’d like to fight Making me believe I’m making choices in this life But who’s to say I want either or When I pay attention and when I ignore I don’t make my own decisions anymore No, the programmers have already decided exactly what I’m good for I’m losing my mind and I’m losing my soul Cause I’m so paralyzed by the life that I know But the future relies on the way that I grow So it’s time to stand up and let this world know I’m gonna make a change, I’m gonna stand up on my feet I’m not gonna go away, no not that easily I’m gonna say the things others don’t wanna say I’m gonna dance and sing and I’m gonna do it my way (x2)

Let It Out 04:18
Do you ever feel like a crumbling machine Like you were built to break but you keep on moving And you just keep floating through the motions like a dream But you just can’t feel anything, anything Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out Do you ever feel like a room without a door Walls without windows, just the ceiling and the floor And you just keep screaming but you don’t know what it’s good for ’Cause no matter how loud you yell, no one can hear you anymore Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out Never allowing hurt, your body’s bound to burst Never allowing hurt, your body’s bound to burst, burst, burst Do you ever feel like the sea without the sand And you’re just thrashing about with nowhere to land But you just keep swimming, trying to stay alive But the more that you fight, the more that you drown, the more you die Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out, let it out, let it out Let it out

Upside Down 04:07
The back of my head and the front of my tongue Got me feeling so damn young And I don’t know where it’s coming from All I know is it’s just begun Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh And it’s not like me, it’s not like me I’m begging please, I’m begging please But how many times can I repeat Before they start to see right through me Upside down, upside down Eee, eee, eee Eee, eee, eee So open me up and tear me apart ’Cause I don’t wanna hold this heart And I mean well, don’t mean no harm But I’m so good at faking charm Upside down And I’m runnin’, and I’m runnin’, and I’m runnin’ away And I’m runnin’, and I’m runnin’ only to stay I’m runnin’ out of this old place Running for my saving grace Upside down, upside down Upside down, upside down Eee, eee, eee Eee, eee, eee Eee, eee, eee Eee, eee, eee

Don't Know 03:07
Who do you think you are looking at us that way Who do you think you are telling us what to say We don’t know you, you don’t know us that way We don’t know you, you don’t know us that way When did it become alright for you to take away our rights When did we decide to give away the life that we live today We don’t know you, you don’t know us that way We don’t know you, you don’t know us that way

about

Though they make music as a duo, Gracie and Rachel together far exceed the sum of their parts. Like their stylized color palette of black and white, their instrumentation appears simple and spare at first glance, but there’s a powerful prism effect at work that brings us back to the concept of duality: their songs are intimate and expansive, questioning and confident. The nine orchestral-pop songs on Gracie and Rachel tell a story that’s rooted in the truth —their truth — but retain an enigmatic air that makes them relatable to anyone who has ever found their heart racing with doubt and pushed forward regardless. Their journey through adventurous youth and cohabitation is evident on their self-titled debut full length set for release on June 23rd.
