We are HVNTED. We’re an American rock band born and raised all over Southern California. It’s funny to think about the circumstances that brought us together in high school. You’d have to ask Seamus about what happened on the night we first met him (quite the show). But despite these lucky coincidences, it feels like we were destined to be together. Over the past couple of years, our friendship and reliance on each other has kept us sane and has given us the support we’ve needed to keep moving forward.
Whether it’s been traveling as a band or back home, locked in our rehearsal space, we’ve met a lot of interesting people and we’ve had to deal with our share of heartache and hardship. But, we believe that these experiences have made us stronger and brought us closer together.
Over the last few years, we’ve learned that, no matter who it is or where they come from, we all face the same challenges in life. We can all feel lost. We can all lose hope. And, we can all get pushed to that point where we start to question whether or not it’s worth it to keep moving forward. Truthfully, some of these experiences left us all feeling anxious, insecure and hopeless.
Our music has been a way for us to express ourselves and get it out. Our music has given us a voice. And, although these things have been pretty tough to deal with, we’ve found relief in writing about our struggles and playing our music together.
We want to share what we’ve learned with our audience - “We’re stronger together.” We want our audience to know that we all share in these struggles. They’re not alone.

Livin’ life like you’re one of a kind
Then maybe I think you’re one of mine
So chant the same lulabuy
Oh baby baby I don’t wanna die oh
darling please please don’t cry
no I never mean to lie
are ya feeling like you’re one of mine
not just another waste of time
When you say that you’re broken
but you still take from unspoken
will you lie for the boy with the hurting eyes
with a gun to his head, just give it a try
say that you’ve spoken
Like I said I never wanted to lie
twist the truth and skin it alive
talkin’ with the snakes like i’m blind
tell’em all how fucking high
I make you feel when you’re life’s on the line
life’s just hanging by a thread no
ya never know what’s on the otherside
boys been gone never seen again
X3
When you say that you’re broken
but you still take from unspoken
will you lie for the boy with the hurting eyes
with a gun to his head, just give it a try
say that you’ve spoken
I feel it getting lighter
the air is catching fire as we breath into our lungs
this was never meant to happen
I wish I never mentioned the obsession you’ve become
so change my life and make it alright
cause I don’t think I’ll be getting any sleep
you’ve stained my mind
and I can’t turn back time
wishing I was dying for a better cause
shapeshifter, i’m a shapeshifter I know
yea, I know
I’m bleeding on the cross you were meant to bear
hangin’ from the ropes that were meant for repair
I know, yea I know
Why did it come to this
I’m trading an eye for lies
I’m replicating everything you said you once despised
I wish I cared a lot less
I wish you’d care some more
the role reversal I been searching for
has never come this far
so change my life and make it alright
cause I don’t think I’ll be getting any sleep
you’ve stained my mind
and I can’t turn back time
wishing I was dying for a better cause
shapeshifter, i’m a shapeshifter I know
yea, I know
I’m bleeding on the cross you were meant to bear
hangin’ from the ropes that were meant for repair
I know, yea I know
Shapeshifter, I’m a shapeshifter I know, whoa
say I see red filling my dread
taking apart everything you said
say I see red filling my dread
taking apart everything you said
I feel it getting lighter
the air is catching fire
as we breathe into our lungs
shapeshifter, i’m a shapeshifter I know
yea, I know
I’m bleeding on the cross you were meant to bear
hangin’ from the ropes that were meant for repair
I know, yea I know
There’s nothing that I can say,
there’s nothing that can change,
I must be in my way,
nothing to sing about,
I’m just screaming now cause I,
I miss you,
and everybody’s thinking about,
how they can all doubt me and you
So where you goin’ now,
I thought I told you how,
How to come back home,
and now I’m freakin’ out,
cause I don’t wanna be without,
baby without you
Maybe I haven’t thought,
what happened every night before,
dare to slam the door,
maybe I haven’t been,
the person that could sin like the,
like the way you do
So where you goin’ now,
I thought I told you how,
How to come back home,
and now I’m freakin’ out,
cause I don’t wanna be without,
baby without you
X2
be without, be without
how do I, be without be without, you
So where you goin’ now,
I thought I told you how,
How to come back home,
and now I’m freakin’ out,
cause I don’t wanna be without,
baby without you
how do I be be baby, how do I be be be,
how do I be, be without you
How do I be be baby (so where you goin’ now),
how do I be be be ( I thought I told you how),
How do I be be without you (How to come back home),
how do I be be baby (and now i’m freakin’ out),
how do I be be be (cause I don’t wanna be without),
how do I be,
I miss you
and i’m sick of pretending,
sick of imagining i’m still,
confused
She flew away to the edge of the world,
three-thousand miles,
should I be concerned
As we cried the last goodbye,
your mama thought I lied,
and your father wouldn’t look me in the eye
and I ain’t got no money,
I’m out of luck,
still in reseda,
I’m fucking stuck
and i’m sick of pretending,
sick of imagining,
i’m still, confused,
and you’re so fucking perfect,
I don’t deserve it,
I’d kill, for you
I’m tired of LA,
I’m tired of the way,
these people thinking they’re the next insta star,
We talked like stowaways,
can’t we communicate,
you were hiding me like i’m not already far,
and I ain’t got no money,
I’m out of luck,
still in reseda,
I’m fucking stuck
and i’m sick of pretending,
sick of imagining,
i’m still, confused,
and you’re so fucking perfect,
I don’t deserve it,
I’d kill, for you
A twisted season, a point of view,
A taste of treason, a kiss from you,
Another reason, constricting truth,
A bleeding cause that’s, blinding youth
X2
and i’m sick of pretending,
sick of imagining,
i’m still, confused,
and you’re so fucking perfect,
I don’t deserve it,
I’d kill, for you
Believe this heathen
or no one will
