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

Hear us on
