about

One of the tracks off our tape "Entropy" which we'll be releasing in the summer.
Thanks to our mate Kevvy Clarke for throwing in some words too.

lyrics

The road makes the sounds of the sea
It flows into me
And washes me away with the confidence that I used to feel

I miss the routines, the recurring dreams the weekends that became so austere

Don't get me wrong it felt safe I felt secure but not so much anymore

There is no shortage of hosts and deceivers, ready to accept and quick to forget.
Don't count on me, I can't help you with this
No matter what I say, I'll just come across as jealous.

To think you weren't who I thought you were
It hurts to know you could be so callous

I don't miss the company, but I miss the feeling, the sense of place and togetherness.

It seemed to me, with friends like these
Who else could be as lucky as me?
A year ago I would never have imagined life like this
So scared of losing what friends I have left
I wish I had known what I know now
But I let my guard down
For a second
Spent the last ten months kicking myself for all I said and I just lie here asking myself why that just this one time I couldn't get away with it.

Better days, and better ways of showing you how I felt.
I can't really do this anymore and it's making my head melt.
I stepped aside, and now these lines are the only thing I've left of you.

I can't believe this happened to us
My mind and confidence are totally crushed
I quiver and cower and grovel in the dirt
I paid my pound of flesh for all that I've done
