Here's us kicking off 2013 the only way we know how: with a song. Pay what you want, or nothing at all, tell a friend, and we'll see you out there soon enough. Play it loud. Rinse. Repeat.
Standing in the midnight air
our fingers nearly froze
in front of some strange door
that leads somewhere
we’re not allowed to go
and all these loose ends
are getting out of hand
favours for favours, my jaw hurts
c’mon let’s get out of here
It’s almost over
and it don’t come back
rules are rules
and facts are facts
Screaming naked through the streets
amongst the shattered glass
we searched for something beautiful
and lost track
and all these loose ends
are getting wrapped around my neck
we undo our buttons real slow
just to do them up again
sometimes revelations
come thick and fast
taking on the world
with a left and a right and a left
It’s almost over
and I’m certain it’s a trap
it’s almost over
and it don’t come back
We shake our heads like lightning
and make thunder with our feet
it’s our bread and butter
but nobody wants a taste
I said “I don’t believe in anything!”
and your eyes they disagree
all these loose ends
are slipping away from me
Spread out across the sky
beyond all time & reach
making amends with eternity
and an eternal mess of things
it’s almost over
and God Damn! That was fast.
It’s almost over
and it don’t come back
The psychosis/and the rage
your heart’s broken/and you want some cocaine
your skin is crawling and the walls won’t stay in place
this Magnan’s heartache
impatient to bore me again
hesistation only gets in the way
I wanna break something I’ll break myself instead
and I want, and I want, I want it form it takes
it’s easier to love what you hate
it’s easier to love what you pay
an easy lover
an easy lover
it’s easier to love what you…
I’m so embarrassed I could die and you could kill me again
I’m so embarrassed I could die and you could kill me again
Don’t leave me now...don’t leave me now
whatever forever fuck it forget her
it’s easier to love what you hate
it’s easier to love what you pay
an easy lover
an easy lover
it’s easier to love what you…
