about

Music should make you feel something, after all it is an expression, a release of emotion itself. PRIZEFIGHTER embodies this with a cathartic debut single meant to be screamed along to titled; 'Empty Eyes'.

It tells a story of love and desire of an unyielding obligation embodied by the sun and moon's daily gravitational dance. It is an exploration of the inner mechanisms of sole member and producer; Zach Zyla, and his creative consciousness as he sings of what pulls him and creates his own tides.

lyrics

You turn to me, my eyes were empty
Plain to see with your light on me.

Through clenched teeth, you went onto speak,
What I knew already.

You say I’m cynical, I don’t know what you mean
I’m just critical of everything that makes me me
It’s a miracle if you’re bright eyes believe
How damn difficult it’s for me to feel redeemed.

I was hoping, that you’d be open,
To me just holding onto our greatest moments.
Time’s not slowing, and we’re not knowing,
That now we’re only going through the motions.

I feel alive when you’re right there, you are something else.
You are the one, and I am the two, it’s the hand that I’m dealt
I really try but can’t compare, I only blame myself.
If you are the sun, I am your moon, there is no one else.

You turn away, the colors all fade
From rosy reds to shades of gray.

From wax to wane, with each passing phase
empty eyes too afraid.

It must be gravity that keeps pulling you from me.
Nature’s own rhapsody we dance the sky so beautifully
An empty cavity before your warmth got through to me.
Naturally compatibly, but it all feels new to me.

I was hoping, that you’d be open,
To me just holding onto our greatest moments.
Time’s not slowing, and we’re not knowing,
That now we’re only going through the motions.

I feel alive when you’re right there, you are something else.
You are the one, and I am the two, it’s the hand that I’m dealt
I really try but can’t compare, I only blame myself.
If you are the sun, I am your moon, there is no one else.

Chasing light of tomorrow,
Feeling lost in an eclipse
Stuck here at two crossroads,
Hanging on the edge of your lips.

I feel alive when you’re right there, you are something else.
You are the one, and I am the two, it’s the hand that I’m dealt
I really try but can’t compare, I only blame myself.
If you are the sun, I am your moon, there is no one else.
