White Noise & Static 05:08
lyrics
buy track
Coughing up my heart like a cripple, like an invalid No tongue in my throat, no words in my mouth They're all silenced with doubt It's all white noise and static sounds I've got this heavy heart It feels like a gravestone in my chest I'll wear this crown of bones Like a halo round my head All this weight makes it seem that I'm moving in slow-motion While the world around me gathers speed and leaves me behind Deaf, dumb and blind Deaf, dumb, deaf, dumb and blind I've got this heavy heart It feels like a gravestone in my chest I'll wear these brittle bones Like a chain around my neck She said, "Don't let me down boy, don't let me down" So I write it down to read when I need it the most I've got this heavy heart It feels like a gravestone in my chest I'll wear this crown of bones Like a halo round my head

Lesson Learned 03:45
lyrics

Cool breeze moves through these tall trees Sad scenes fill up these bad dreams But now nothing can hurt me or hold me down All I need is all around me Red leaves fall from these dead trees We're not second guessing, we're not taking chances We have learned our lesson, now won't someone take me home But now nothing can hurt me or hold me down All I need is all around me All I see is all inside me We're not second guessing, we're not taking chances We have learned our lesson, now won't someone take me home Take me to the ocean, bury me at sea Take me to a mountaintop and leave me there to freeze I am not afraid, I am not alone Scream it from the mountaintop, "Won't someone take me home?"

Written On Your Wrists 05:31
lyrics
buy track
Keep me safe from my self-destructive mind Calling me weak, won't let me speak Comfort me in your arms like angels' wings Can't fall asleep coz in my dreams I wonder how long it takes to drown These unwanted memories in alcohol All my fears walk around on spiders' legs They'll come tonight to eat me alive Rain is coming to wash them all away Don't turn out the light coz in the dark I wonder how long these lonely thoughts will keep repeating themselves Trapped inside this head of mine Don't give up on me Oh please, don't give up on me All the names of all the girls you wish you'd kissed All the ways you wanted out are on this list Everything you could have missed Is written on your wounded wrists I wonder how long it takes to drown

This Will End As It Started 03:33
lyrics
buy track
I will scoop out my eyes coz I'd rather be blind Than see the error of my ways I will let myself die While knowing that I could have probably been saved I will keep a tight grip on this sinking ship As it dives beneath the waves I will tell you more lies coz I'd rather make you cry Than let you see me change Uninspired and unoriginal Undeserved and unconditional This will end as it started There's a storm outside getting windy and wild And it's raging in my mind Even though it's not planned Battle lines in the sand have been clearly defined My emotional gaps and slow moral collapse Have been carefully designed If the sheep all desert us Let's run with the wolves just until we can decide Uninspired and unoriginal Undeserved and unconditional This will end as it started I'm a man with mind and heart But they're pulling me apart Looking forward and behind One by one day at a time

Lights 05:57
lyrics
buy track
Anaesthetised by nicotine and chemistry The sounds of teenage apathy Fill these rooms like petrol fumes Paralysed by tragedy and jealousy Just another social casualty To walk these streets with shackles on their feet Only when the lights turn red Only when this city stops dead Only when the sun goes down I see all the ghosts in this freezing town Only when the lights turn green Only when this city speeds by me Only when the sky goes black I see all of the beauty these long days lack All of this hypocrisy round here Makes me sick, makes me feel so sick I don't need your sympathy, my dear The spirit is weak but flesh is made twice as thick Forgive me for my honesty This pen is my voice and these words are my choice Forgive me for this honesty Blood red ink in a rage beats from my heart to the page

about

Recorded by Andy J. Davies @ The Analogue Rooms Studio in Hitchin.
Recording took place over 2 days in a fully analogue-equipped retro fantasy of a studio. The main man was chain smoking, dreadlocked, music connoisseur Andy Davies. We would work with this hero again at the drop of a hat. We hope you enjoy :)
