The Crowd 03:31
lyrics
buy track
I'm afraid of the work to be done to turn these rocks to stone walls and turn those walls into my home Because in the end the roof could fall Would I start again or abandon it all? The crowd my mind conjured call out to the coward howling at me and pointing Ushers flee and flowers thrown down in hope at the start of the show turn to ash on the stage The house lights are turned down low to cut the performer from the wrath they all feel which is fucking stupid because the crowd isn't real We couldn't afford to avoid another head-on collision with our former masters We wouldn't find out 'til later that they were the same people that we pretended to be You shouldn't fall out with everybody who cannot meet you eye-to-eye They're maybe just trying to focus on something deeper that you can't see yet The crowd my mind conjured call out to the coward howling at me and pointing Ushers flee and flowers thrown down in hope at the start of the show turn to ash on the stage The house lights are turned down low to cut the performer from the wrath they all feel which is fucking stupid because the crowd isn't real Remember, remember your brain isn't kind Breathe and ignore Remember, remember your brain isn't kind I am not that thought I am more..

Naked 01:46
lyrics
buy track
We got well-earned break because we're working hard We got a well-done steak on the Boulevard We tried learning to skate but we're failing hard We got a birthday cake but no fucking card Come on We want exotic pets that we can't afford We got appendicitis on the elderly ward We wanna butter our toast with a samurai sword We had to tell the truth on the waterboard Come on Pretend that we made it We faked it We're naked They're calling the boys in blue

A Holiday for the Underpaid 04:43
lyrics

It's a bit too late to compare our fates May I ask your name with a hint of shame? It's a holiday for the underpaid We can't go away but we don't complain

Clueless Love 05:07
lyrics
buy track
You were born to a tired union Given blessings and a false communion So you were ready for a cruel and brutal world Found a life in a hidden graveyard Spent the night with a living saviour Snuck away in the early morning cold This clueless love is a foolish undertaking And we're fools to believe in the word that we speak Your blue-green eyes are full of hope and wonder So we fool ourselves for one more week This clueless love has made fool of us We're gonna try to make the best of an awkward situation Gonna need some imagination

The Broken Back of Me 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Your mind is gone And you're all alone again Your time is up and you know you'll be dining on the crumbs around the plate My blood will boil And my temper is a thorn inside my head All the pain and toil, I know.. Through my anger I cant speak I'm full of bile, black and bleak If time allows, I'll write your vows in blood and tears Across the broken back of me (I wanna be with her) She moves into position, I feel the friction, waiting to begin Her look so sharp it leaves a scar and her eyes reel me in I wanna be with her It's poison served in sultry tones, and I'm so drunk that many meanings go unknown Now your mind is gone And you're all alone again Oh, your time is up and you know You'll be dining on the crumbs around the plate (We're not running for a worthy cause, We're attracting attention from the corporate whores) Through my anger I cant speak I'm full of bile, black and bleak If time allows, I'll write your vows in blood and tears On the broken back of me I'm growing parasites a new one every night, I feel within A version of myself I cant control, who deals in sin Undressed and cold I shed my skin My honour sold, I wish to God I'd never let her in I wanna be with her Across the broken back of me

Reasons 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Soon is not soon enough and the promise of help is just dust on the shelf Bloom in a greenhouse alone Nowhere is home You're longing to roam on the grass on the loam Moved by a picture of sand Unfamiliar land you held in your had Soothed by the breath of the day A permanent haze A shroud on the face of the ones you replaced You went along with the plans 'til the end You finished your book and you lost all your friends We talked and we talked but we never got near the reasons behind why you ended up here

Little Monster 03:13
lyrics
buy track
There's something in the air this morning It doesn't feel right There's something in the water calling me in An ethereal light It's standing in the shadows waiting for a sign The flesh and bone and marrow breaking It's feeding time If there's something that you need to tell us Just keep your voice down The wolf has tried to buy and sell us He's getting around An ugly little monster smiling And gobbling dirt A rusty, broken padlock on the ground There's blood on your shirt

Who We Are 03:43
lyrics
buy track
How far you have come from the birth How far is the sun from the earth? The steps that we take to protect you from harm The next seven days, we begin to disarm You're too slow Now we know who we are Too slow Now we know who we are Now the light, it begins to go dark Too long the night and too dim the spark Deadly blows that are dealt to the brave Red, the rose that we lay by the grave (Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge)- [Wilfred Owen - Dulce et Decorum Est] You're too slow Now we know who we are

Only a Matter of Time 04:07
lyrics
buy track
The hand was dealt and the aces were turned Spread out on felt when the houses were burned The anvil was black and the dresses were red You counted up all of your blessings and fled The hounds love were released out of spite They found you alone and afraid in the night The trial was a loaded and sordid affair Beguiled by betrayal and formed in despair Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes and it's only a matter of time before they find you out Oh, you'd better keep walking It's only a matter of time You try to run but your legs fall off You pull a gun but it's not enough The sun is setting on another day Your will to live is slowly ebbing away Oh, you'd better keep walking It's only a matter of time Ooh, you're hanging for your crimes and it's only a matter of time before they find you out Oh, you'd better keep walking It's only a matter of time

United in Heresy 03:06
lyrics
buy track
You're mixing your drinks and you end up with a chemical burn from the volatile fluid inside You're itching to think about all the fucking rubbish you learned when you found out that your friends had lied The kids in the street are singing all the songs that you hate but you join in with them all the same The dry summer heat it coils around you like a snake until you're praying for the touch of rain You call them out on their misogyny They're not at all who they pretend to be Their claims of charity are fallacy We stand united in our heresy

Shudder 03:18
lyrics

New moonlight Blue calcite You count all your lives on one hand and write all your lies with the other The tears on the page tell a story that'll make you shudder Night is over Roll in clover Form another brigade

Ether 03:01
lyrics
buy track
You call and no one is home You're smaller than anyone could know You're falling over sticks and stones You feel it aching in your bones You fall but no one claims your soul You're colder than all the frost and snow You know when it is time to go
