Slippin' Out

Here I go again (again)
Lost in the spin (never ends)
Here I go again (on a wild binge)
On my knees again (try not to sin)

The night, my name
Drowning deep in this twisted game
Every hit's a step back
A broken track, a road I can't reclaim

Every hit's a chase, a phantom trace
Back to that first time
I wish I'd never tried
Smoking hopes, pushing dreams into the abyss far

Here I go again
Again, oh no, lost in the spin
Lost forever, never ends, yeah, here I go again
Bangs, bangs, can't stop, woo, on my knees again

Searching for a piece, rock, help me
Making free bass tracks
Headphones cracked
Fucked up PC

One TV
Spy cams watch me
Laugh when they see
Yeah

That's crazy
Still have two more bags, hell yeah
Should I throw it away? (No way)
Nah, fuck that

That's what I'm sayin' (Oh)
Finish it (Oh)
Here I go again (no not again, oh)
Lost control again (fuck it, dead)

Oh, on my knees again (me certain, bleeding)
Trying not to sin (fucking, whining, liar, liar, liar)

MY SCHEDULED BINGE

Some of you may recognise the good ladies from Daybreak singing Salutations to the Sun, and the chorus "I am part of the Sun" is a poem by D.H. Lawrence.

19. The Sun

Gone is the anger.
Gone is the fight.
Gone is your passage into the light.
Gone are the left
Gone are the right.
Gone is your wiggle room.
When things get tight.

Gone is the doctor.
Gone is your hope.
Gone is the ladder. 
Here's some rope.
Gone is the daydream.
Frittered away.
Gone is the saving up.
For rainy days.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone are the holy.
Out for a drink.
Gone for a cigarette. 
Having a think.
Gone through the window.
Gone through the door.
Gone is the condemnation.
All for more.

Gone is the outrage.
Gone is the time.
Gone are the young men.
Sinking their wine.
Gone is the passion.
Blowing away.
Gone, paranoia.
Gone are the brave.
Away.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Your heart is home

Borrowed Bearings is the fourth chapter in Vector Collapse’s seven-album arc — the moment where the blast crater, the rebuilt workshop, and the dead-reckoning journey all slow down long enough to listen.

These songs live in the spaces between big decisions: the hum of a room you’ve called “normal” for too long, the way you stand like your parents without meaning to, the late-shift agreement with someone just as wrecked as you not to make the night any worse. It’s metalwave wired for small, specific scenes instead of slogans — heavy guitars and neon synths wrapped around lyrics that look straight at the quiet stuff most people step over.

“Reserve,” “Signal Fire,” and “Slow is Smooth” anchor the record as the three flare points: learning to keep something in the tank, catching the almost-missed warnings, and finally choosing pace over chaos. Around them, the rest of the album maps the subtle recalibrations that change your heading without a single dramatic speech: turning down circuits in “Breaker Shrine,” reading the stress fractures in “Tension Lines,” and letting a little honest light into the room on “Light Leans In.”

Borrowed Bearings is not about being saved by some perfect guide; it’s about borrowing steadier angles from the people and moments that show up when your own compass is spinning, and then slowly, stubbornly, learning to stand on your own feet again.

Tracklist:
1. Room Tone  
2. Soft Alarms  
3. Cold Forge Hymn
