Matryoshka 03:53
Promises Broken And Splitting In Half All that I want is something I had Fell to the bottom When u cry Its Alright It’s Alright Reach Out For Nothing but Nothing Is There Slips through your fingers and into thin air Time At The Bottom When your down It’s Alright It’s Alright And For A While, I Soar Above All The Clouds, I’m Going Up, Ill See You On - The Way Down. Don’t Be Too Long, I’m - Floating Up, Folding Time Trying To Keep Up With The Sun. Don’t Wake Me Tiny Red Petals And big gaping eyes Trying to hold on but there’s too many sides Solid inside her. When you lie, it’s alright It’s alright And For A While, I Soar Above All The Clouds, I’m Going Up, Ill See You On - The Way Down. Don’t Be Too Long, I’m - Floating Up, Folding Time Trying To Keep Up With The Sun. Don’t Wake Me Floating Up, Folding Time Higher And Higher And…. Floating Up, Higher And Higher And Higher….. Floating Up, Higher And Higher And Higher…..

Work 04:23
Wake up there is much to do Dishwasher is getting full Feed the kitty and the pooch And Run, Run, Run Shine your hair and shine your shoes Happy face, don’t get the blues It will all be over soon Don’t Run, Run, Run Working, Working, Work All Day Working, Work, No Time to Play Working All My Days Away Working Is The Only Way Days go quick but never end I liked it more as just pretend Will I ever see my friends? Their Gone, Gone, Gone Pennies pinched but nothing’s saved Will I ever make the grade? Eight more days till I get paid Why Run, Run, Run? Working, Working, Work All Day Working, Work, No Time to Play Working All My Days Away Working Is The Only Way Trinkets, cogs, and faces change Shops are closed, Replacements made Some things still remain the same We Run, Run, Run, Run Wake one day, not much to do Children grown, no one but you No one cares how much you’ve earned You’re Done, Done, Done Working, Working, Work All Day Working, Work, No Time to Play Working All My Days Away Working Is The Only Way

Just Fine 03:51
Nobody dies in my world Need not you be sad Nobody cries in my world No one left uncared No one in a hurry Everyone can make time No one needs to worry Everything is fine Just Fine Everyone is healthy No one left uncured Everyone in love here All intentions pure Everything is safe, There’s never any crime Everyone is perfect Everything is fine Just Fine Just Fine Just Fine Everyone dies in this world Everyone is scared Everyone cries in this world No one really cares Everything is hurried No one can make time Everyone is worried No one’s really fine Just Fine Just Fine Just Fine

Head in the clouds Beautiful sounds Up and then Down Merry Go Round Merry Go Round Been here before Be there once more Spinning around round round Merry go round Holding my breath, till we get to the top and then Fall, fall, fall Just the same ride but there’s no more surprise anymore Everyone seems so small when your on top Round and round and up and down, they fall A steady pace That same old taste You’ve come to expect Know what you’ll get Merry Go Round Merry Go Round

Salesmen Mimic my movements Pacing my breath Watching my fingers tap On the hard-wooden desk He’s closing in fast. Warm Are the delicate awarm At the top of the hill Long winding stairs Beverages chilled Feeling fulfilled Hold tight with all your might. It’s a long way down. Hold on. Don’t look down won’t let you hit the ground. Ailments Making my body ache Making me sweat Can’t feel my fingertips Can’t catch my breath Fading fast. Your not alone, No Your not alone, No Hold tight with all your might. It’s a long way down. Hold on. Don’t look down won’t let you hit the ground Together forever and ever, and after. Together forever and after.

about

Following an indie West Coast/Southwest US Tour ending in their hometown of Los Angeles, UByK (originally Samantha Tobey & Roman Roze) wrote new material and eventually went into the studio w/ producer Alex Newport to record their debut EP Matryoshka, officially released in April 2008. The band also released a stop motion video for the title track "Matryoshka" and an experimental art film for the song "Work." More about the recording of the Matryoshka EP can be read in this interview with UByK published around the time of the release:

UByK has since evolved and expanded both their touring and album lineup to include Swedish lead guitarist Pelle Hillstrom, LA veteran drummer Rich Sherwood, and Australian import Fox on Bass, all of whom can be heard on UByK's next release entitled "Odds" set to be released in early 2012.
