Christ what have you done?
The gates are open wide
The animals have made home
In our hearts and minds
So the world turns
And I can't be free
I'm ashamed of the consequences
All and you have read is all you have to say
It's worth nothing these days
All the gold in the world
Takes a part of you
I am stunned by what my eyes can't see
All of you so confident and sure
Cursed by all your gods
Broke the will of ours
And if you don't believe
That life begins in memories
Dance upon their beds
Screams beyond the pines
Make some distance for yourself
From your mental health
Grand design
I opine
Shame on you for being so wise
Cursed by all your gods
Broke the will of ours
And if you don't believe
That life begins in memories
And it all falls down
And it all falls down
And it all falls down
And it all falls down
In a truth

In Panic

Burning contents of tape
Rediscover your hate
I saw the rose upon their grave and swore to her it wouldn't happen again
The gods who like to run our lives are waiting for the chance to become
Impressive
Important
Impersonal
I'm in panic
Will you see how they fell
Drag my body to hell
I took a chance on watching it begin to grow before my very eyes
I laughed and sang and wept and still I can't concern myself with these things
Impressive
Important
Impersonal
I'm in panic

Come plug me in
Increased pressure
Fall far from it
Take a good look
Now that we see
Hide your moral centre and be
Something new and gracious
An animal
A rejection of everything and us all
We can't recognise
The mistakes we made in the past
Ones we're making now
I assure
Everyone that comes on their knees
Will be saved by your heart
Eyes closed
(I become the reasonable excuse)
Now that you've come out of your grave
We understood the words you tried to say

My city is empty, my city is glass
It’s selling the daydreams of the middle class
They sit on the curb, while they gather the dust
An empty display looking back at the rust
Under the bridge
is where you’ll stay
I see the faces
look away
Under the bridge
I know you hurt
I wish you well
For all it’s worth
Under the bridge
Who’s knocking at my door?
No one
Who’s knocking at my door?
My city is walled, made of hoarding and chains
When we send out the cheques, it’s like severing veins
Never worry for them cause we’re worried bout us
Get declined at the store, get declined on the bus
Under the bridge
is where you’ll stay
I see the faces
look away
Under the bridge
I know you hurt
I wish you well
For all it’s worth
Under the bridge
My city’s corrupt but my city’s alive
Put a price on the land, put a price on a life
It throws a bone to the mud, and says it’s good news
It wants us to bite, but we can refuse
Under the bridge
is where you’ll stay
I see the faces
look away
Under the bridge
I know you hurt
I wish you well
For all it’s worth
Under the bridge
Under the bridge
They try to look away from you
Can’t get away
They can’t get away from you

Swim in artificial seas
Pavement shores, sleight of hand
Current carries our weight so easily
Everything is just pretend
Rivers slowly drifting down
Pleasure in knowing there’s no way out
Everywhere I go
I can hear you calling me
Harder to say no
I can hear you calling me again
Traded youth for a silver leash
Sturdy desk for a picture frame
Wait in line to feel like a better man
After time forget my name
Future slowing, coming down
Nothing and no one to guide us now
Everywhere I go (Everything, just pretend)
I can hear you calling me
Harder to say no (Everything, just pretend)
I can hear you calling me again

For Your Consideration
by Jason Priest
supported by 8 fans who also own “Nightmare Boy EP”
Superb new wave / synthpop intermixed with the darkness of post-punk, coming together to resemble a lost relic from the early 1980s. The sparkling sound of the synths and guitars contrasted with the melancholy of the vocals and descriptive lyrics give this album a great duality. At moments swinging a larger rockstar swagger, and at others, deep in a pensive despair, a fair bit of emotion is laid out for display. The shreds of shoegaze that pop also give a more expansive sound in moments.
