Chandelier 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Fall into the couch Leather cold on my skin It's a warm embrace Without the friends Doing what you’re told Buying into the pictures Make enough. Earn you envy Become a boardroom fixture It’s all for the glow. Bring down. Bring down the chandelier Walled off garden so we can’t see Let alone a table where we could eat Keep us divided. Don’t let cultures speak That’s for the power. Not for you and me We’ll get what we’re allowed If we stay just the crowd The bewildered herd Don’t forget who bakes the pie Well they cut it too Stomping up the stairs Careening over the rail Swinging from and bring down Bring down the chandelier

Lobby 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Sitting in the lobby Know the hum in the air Piano still playing Why do we pay to be here? Is it to run away Even if just for the night I can’t say why I’m drawn When i hate to leave and i hate to fly You’re chasing looks and angles And a memory of the sea A worthy story to convey One that’s rich and compelling So you put some space between you Running at the unknown Hope you find what you’re looking for Somewhere between the coasts You can tip the lamp and close the shades As strangers go running by The echoes in the hallways Dodging food and trays outside Only here for another night Then it’s onwards back to home Touching base along the way Anticipating the known

Round the Bloc 02:39
lyrics

Mind yourself Minding no one else Why you here Don’t want your time Best to leave Best you’d fade away Yet you’re on my screen again Let the old Let the old fade away Think for you Think for something better Get your hands Get your hands off her Cuz it’s not yours to say Decide to stay in the water Show you how they can swim You cannot float on the shore Don’t need your legs they have fins Devolved, responsible for this Pulling you down in the tide Mouth is filling with saltwater Got their hooks into our side Light a match Light up this tunnel Stomp it out Let them know you’re here You’re not lying down It’s a sign It’s a sign of the times Shut your mouth Just fucking listen It’s for love But I honestly doubt What you mean When you say you’re a pro All i hear is you dragging us behind

Prediction 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Staying put. Build a career Build a house and you move in Distract your head from the news Obsess over being thin Promise yourself it will change Travel the world. See some things Make a friend. Leave one behind. Change your plans if it stings You are no mystery You are a prediction Linear calculation Middle-class fixing Can’t take it all with you Buried the dog in the back Pull the tape and smell the marker Having a beer as you pack Feet are stuck in the concrete Wrote our names with a stick Roots have grown up through But it’s these sunny days I’ll miss Look for something special On your way to find the gold Someone to share it with Before you both grow too old

Deepfake 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Make me a deepfake Knows what I want Make me dependent Provide where they don't Tell me my taste Wear me down from a point Tell me what’s best for me Keep me dull and disjoint Have my own thoughts Electric up my spine That this isn’t living This is social decline They'll get the wiser Stop letting it be Better make that purchase now With 2 day delivery Choking down a burrito Barely had to pay The animal in me Tells myself it was prey Back from the drive thru Sit and turn on the screen Pour all my thoughts in So I have something to repeat

Without Any Kids 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Something tells me that she’s not been sleeping Tossing turning through the night The fan keeps on wheezing Walked away from a job to sell flowers A toxic monoculture With only the men in power It grabs a hold of you The hum in your mind Weeks are turning to years Lost your sense of time Find a new place One where you want to live Picture perfect horizons Without any kids Few years later Settled down in the mountains Distance from the family Only option’s a flight then A dog to walk In the morning before coffee Repeat the evening news Catches herself reciting Will always wonder What could have been Had they stayed any longer If she would have listened That’s the cost Of running away But it’s not really running if you’re looking to stay

Buffalo 02:59
lyrics
buy track
I want to stand in desolation I want to stand where the buffalo Met their ends in hundreds And where we made the natives go Staring at the edge of the midwest Can see for days and what it means Feeling obsessed with getting out And a fascination with the beach Gravity rushing over me Finally reached where you out to be Ill-fated plans of men Like trash in the sea Grab it up. Sweep it in your mouth Getting fat sitting on your couch No lesson learned. No changes For those at the end it seems Insulation on wires and hands Bodies of bones to feed The left forgot to tend The right disdains what it means So we let it get the best of us Wasted time being stressed Use the remaining minutes To scream and hate at the West

Art for Fascists 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Red on the ceiling Dripping down the walls Grab him by the neck Until he coughs Rally like a circus Bring them to a fervor Concoct an enemy Out of the foreigner Get your clown makeup on Matching suits for an image Mimic that leader's face Parrot the same message Get your clown makeup on Women. Foreign. Immigrants. Foreign Intellect. Foreign. Liberal. Foreign.

Moving 03:56
lyrics

Feeling stuck. It’s getting hot Couldn’t move. Decide to stay Room is silent but a whir Then voices in the hallway Jostled awake from this dream Pull my clothes on from the floor Waking up in weird cities They just aren't like before This is what we made This is who we are Where did we end up How do I leave this place It’s not on the map We’re just guessing the way I could ask for help What would the doctor say? Chaos in my head I know you’re the same Nothing to see in the streets Hoping to watch it disappear The fading sodium glow that was Now In a rearview mirror Blind faith in another town Where I don’t recognize the signs Put up some years ago By a simpler time This is how we live This is who we are Don’t Speak. Thinking Criticize You know nothing Don’t say you’re thinking. You weren’t here You know nothing Don’t say nothing Don’t stand for anything

Ibuprofen 03:53
lyrics
buy track
the swelling went down by the morning the ibuprofen holding her head together Now she’s tryin to stay hydrated like he told her last night. he’s at home, sleeping it off Coming over operator because she just doesn’t get it the medic has got to work it all out Now he’s trying to figure out why hasn’t he found it yet? the years are getting disappointing Can’t recognize herself in the mirror The camera is all too noticeable Need some sleep to just get rid of the bags These endless nights have left their mark her circles are shrinking. but is it his fault? She tries to stay social but there ain’t no one listening Just can’t walk away and talk for a minute she’s scared as it hits her. everything that she felt is gone for good. Some years later going over in his head The motion sickness, nausea’s overwhelming Any way he cuts it, he’s still coming up empty He should have let her know way back when Swears his liver can’t serve much of a purpose The lines on the road start streaking Speed limits approaching. road signs harder to read The miles adding up and it’s showing.

about

A marked shift in focus for us, the songs are much more political and social commentary than on previous records. We also strove to grow as music producers on this record to give it a quality sound.

We hope you enjoy. Rock on.
