37 Hours 02:30
lyrics

Yours is the loudest voice We never really had a choice Much younger than your years Our goodwill’s in arrears You rarely try to care She fell in love, you just stood there Come see what it means to be The best man that you can You always find, you’re 37 hours behind Your mind is always elsewhere So why would anyone else care? We always find, that you’re the opposite of kind Your regrets will overflow, with 37 hours to go Yours is the loudest voice We never really had a choice Underdeveloped man Squanders the masterplan Derision sets the mood Decision making wasn’t good You’re without ruth when you want the truth About her, without her You always find, you’re 37 hours behind Your mind is always elsewhere So why would anyone else care? We always find, you’re in a lockdown state of mind With 37 hours alone, you’re missing everyone you’ve known You always find, you’re 37 hours behind Your mind is always elsewhere So why would anyone else care?

Isolate, separate Escalate, complicate Devastate, fabricate Once confined us Soon behind us Though dates are still unclear We’ll probably still be here On the bright side, no one dies And you can find someone 2021 Tolerate, compensate Reinstate, integrate Meditate, innovate Forced the closure Now it’s all over Though dates are still unclear Most of us should be here By the fireside, no one dies And you can find someone 2021

Dumber 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Introverts still need friends Sagas still need an end When we congregate, you will know Nothing’s left in me Hideaways still need light Early birds still need night Soon we’ll celebrate, but progression’s very slow Have to wait and see I’m getting dumber by the day I’ve got nothing new to say I’m getting dumber by the day So for now, I’ll try to stay away Loners still need a hand Marchers still need a band While things can’t be done, there’s decay State of static shock Dreamers still need to wake Stoics still need a shake Esoteric fun, just for me another day Brain without a lock Needs to talk Ooh… I’m getting dumber by the day Still got nothing new to say I’m getting dumber by the day Just for now, I’ll let it slip cause… I’m getting dumber by the day Christ, can I have something new to say I’m getting dumber by the day So for now, I’ll try to stay away

(I Don't Want To) Ask You 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Try a different way or try some new words Try another viewpoint to match hers You need love and time Then bells may chime True, it’s all true Fought, fought for you Still, I don’t want to ask you Why are you on your own? Aren’t you always? Maybe deep down, she’s counting down the days Hit by your own car It’s just bizarre True, it’s all true Fought, fought for you Still, I don’t want to ask you And there’s never a chance for reflection And your life’s moving in one direction Til you hit the brakes For new mistakes, ooh True, it’s all true Fought, fought for you Still, I don’t want to ask you Now you’ve fallen in hook, line and sinker Mull it over with Champion the Drinker For the love of God Don’t act so oddly True, it’s all true Fought, fought for you Still, I don’t want to ask you Clinging on to your hope of composure And a softer hand when this is over Moisturised and clean Young libertine, ooh True, it’s all true Fought, fought for you Still, I don’t want to ask you

Gracefully 02:30
lyrics

Gracefully gets immersed in all you have to say Until the next time, you’ll be left counting the days Gracelessly hunting any and all hidden words So good but god it hurts Familiar situation, I can’t cope It’s not a game of luck, it’s a game of hope Can’t think like that Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da. ba-da Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da. ba-da As I watch you walk away Gracefully, I have to say Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Maybe it’s a fallacy That it might as well be me Gracefully found a cat and plants for company Can’t we turn chance encounters into you and me? Gracelessly scheduling another fire alarm Tormented by your charm I’m lingering in line to take my turn I’m sure that stronger people have crashed and burned Can’t think like that Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da. ba-da Ba-da, ba-da, ba-da. ba-da As I watch you walk away Gracefully, I have to say Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Maybe it’s a fallacy That it might as well be me Gratefully, patiently, gracefully Gracefully

Taken for a Ride 02:30
lyrics
buy track
I don’t remember why I’m here All of my power disappeared How’d I miss the warning signs? How can I deserve this? Glared before you caught yourself Dredged up all your deepest fears Class As, knives and mental health Angry Googling and tears Should have left so long ago Taken for a ride for the final time You said “You can’t be, now that you can’t be mine” Driving towards the sun, sun, sun Sounds like you’re having fun, fun, fun Singing with the radio Rolling down the windows Total stickler for the rules Disconcerting silences Said you have to have your tools Dreams of wrath and violences The proof is in the mood swing Taken for a ride for the final time You said “You can’t be, now that you can’t be mine” How long have I been in this car? I never knew you’d go this far As I black out once again I conjure a montage Cut the brakes and slash the tyres Punch the wall and slam the door I always put out the fires That won’t happen anymore Glittering like violence Taken for a ride for the final time You said “You can’t be, now that you can’t be mine” Taken for a ride for the final time You said “You can’t be, now that you can’t be mine” One last drive One last drive

Glinner 02:30
lyrics

So it seems my career is gathering moss But I’m indifferent to the loss With three hours of sleep The company I keep Isn’t polite any more There’s no more lines to cross Carried away by a big blue bird (I don’t wanna hear from the beards) Cherries and dog whistles for the herd (I don’t wanna hear from the beards) Precise and devoid of feeling I don’t see a human being, no, no, no Restless left leg, it’s not fun Carbonara just for one I won’t take another look Names torn out of my black book And once again, I pile-on Craggy hill to die on Moving platforms, losing allies Logic freeform, saying goodbyes Saying goodbyes Carried away by a big blue bird (I don’t wanna hear from the beards) Cherries and dog whistles for the herd (I don’t wanna hear from the beards) Precise and devoid of feeling I don’t see a human being, no, no, no Oh, you've turned off replies...

This Town 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Looks like the Mayans were eight years out Scrambled messages and mixed signals My compliments to the microwave A conga line straight to an early grave This town is lying empty This town is covered in dust This town is made of echoes This town has lost its sense of trust Everyone’s inside Except for you and him Talking through things not implied Walking with a phantom limb Gold rush around the stately garden Don’t give up on a precious summer The sunshine ambulance parade Did you really clap if no one paid attention? This town is lying empty This town is covered in dust This town is made of echoes This town has lost its sense of trust Everyone’s inside Except for you and her Ignorant and satisfied Unaffected saboteur This town is lying empty This town is covered in dust This town is made of echoes This town has lost its sense of trust

The Millennial Whoop 02:30
lyrics

You say you’re fine, but I can’t see how you cope You say you’re fine, but I can’t see how you cope Fledglings for old rope As you queue up the loop, and the millennial whoop You churn it out, but they don’t see how it’s done You churn it out, but they don’t see how it’s done Dug by everyone As you queue up the loop, and the millennial whoop Honour the mundane Fond memories of great heights Shambles of a man Clings on to old tricks tonight You wore a mask, long before it was required You wore a mask, long before it was required Soundbites sounding tired As you queue up the loop, and the millennial whoop You show your teeth, but it’s not seen as a threat You show your teeth, but it’s not seen as a threat Withdrawal makes you sweat As you queue up the loop, and the millennial whoop Whoah… Whoah… Whoah… Whoah…

Outer Wilds 02:30

Made the best of the hush Napped in the rubber room Full chronophage There was no time for impotent rage I got lost in the outer wilds I got lost in the outer wilds I got lost in the outer wilds Wilds Cinnamon Love Way calls Why waste your melody? Low self-esteem ‘Cause you’re chasing an old selfish dream You got lost in the outer wilds You got lost in the outer wilds You got lost in the outer wilds Wilds We got lost in the outer wilds We got lost in the outer wilds We got lost in the outer wilds Wilds

Running Down the Clock 02:30
lyrics

You take a breath, slightly bemused I take a chance, entirely confused How long is left to say my grace? Running down the clock ’Til you go away Miles and miles from home Just say what I should say Running down the clock Kidding in the hall They have no idea They’ve never seen you at all Prepared to grieve, no one to tell Mood of John Grant and hair of John Linnell ’Til flitting do us part, let’s start Running down the clock ’Til you go away Miles and miles from home Just say what I should say Running down the clock Using up my words Lowered monotone Now all my troubles are hers I fall to bits each time Without reason or rhyme Come back any time

Hogmanay 02:30
lyrics

Sad little moon Stands watching over all the misanthropes As they lean in to all those emo tropes One night too far Proud disco light Oversees every reveller in town Ceilings and shady businesses fall down Just taste the joy Hogmanay is now upon us So drag yourself out, force that fun Distant cousin, don’t be sullen Five, four, three, two I am so lost, what is it about this? Summoning the hermits, calling out the misfits Glass and plastic, do hurry along now Here they all come, crunching through December snow Hogmanay is now upon us So drag yourself out, force that fun Distant cousin, don’t be sullen Five, four, three, two Hogmanay is now upon us It’s not like there’ll be another one Join our bubble, double trouble Five, four, three, two One
