Lyrics:Black 
Your whole world turned black 
You pray for the end 
'Cause you will never go back 

Freedom 
The freedom to choose 
If you'd just open your mind 
If you'd only want to 

Slow, they come 
Deft, they run 
We desire 
What they conspire 

We live, the consumers 
To kill the intruders 
Defending the biased 
Lead by those who lie best 

We're breeding a hatred 
To fear what they stated 
Fight like they want to 
Open your eyes to... 

Afraid 
Afraid of the unknown 
Believing what you'd heard 
You cling to what you know 

But now 
Now you've broke the chain 
you let your thoughts be free 
Let them think you're insane 

Slow, they come 
Deft, they run 
We desire 
What they conspire 

We live, the consumers 
To kill the intruders 
Defending the biased 
Lead by those who lie best 

We're breeding a hatred 
To fear what they stated 
Fight like they want to 
Open your eyes to... 

We live, the consumers 
To kill the intruders 
Defending the biased 
Lead by those who lie best 

We're breeding a hatred 
To fear what they stated 
Fight like they want to 
Open your eyes to...

Some days I sit and close my eyes in solitude, ‘til I start thinking of you 
Your face, your lips, your teeth, your eyes, I see them still 
I couldn’t stand to see you tear my life in two, the way you twisted the truth 
You stand before me with a smile and I know… I know it was you, I know it was you 

This road before me lies 
Two paths on either side 
Back to the suffering, 
Hatred, despised 

Your talk, your cries, 
Motives, disguised, 
No right, no wrong, 
No more, I’m done 
I know what you are 

You’ll never see what I can see 
You’ll never feel what I now feel 
You’ll never care for what you’ve done 

You’re not the one I thought you were 
You’re not the goddess I preferred 
You’re not the demon I inferred 
You’re no one 

Temptation fills my mind with thoughts I once subdued, there’s still so much we could do 
But memories of times gone by warn me how… you fucked it for good, yeah, you fucked it for good 

This road before me lies 
Two paths on either side 
Back to the suffering, 
Hatred, despised 

Your talk, your cries, 
Motives, disguised, 
No right, no wrong, 
No more, I’m done 
I know what you are 

You’ll never see what I can see 
You’ll never feel what I now feel 
You’ll never care for what you’ve done 

You’re not the one I thought you were 
You’re not the goddess I preferred 
You’re not the demon I inferred 
You’re no one 

You’re not the one I thought you were 
You’re not the goddess I preferred 
You’re not the demon I inferred 

I'm not as perfect as I say 
My mind’s erased, obsessed with pain 
I’ll carve these words into my brain 
You're no one

Lyrics:
Hunted, I’m wanted 
Seething, I’m bleeding, 
Choking, I’m smoking, 
Desperate, I need it 

It’s irrelevant, it’s irrelevant, it’s all irrelevant 

I’m not afraid to give you something you want… I’m not cruel 
It’s not a phase, I’m just deeply in love…with you 
I won’t give up, I’m not that kind of fool… for you 
I look in your eyes and see the future is cold, unsure and doubting 
But at this point in time I know you’d love to be mine 

Hunter, I want ya, 
Heathen, still breathing, 
Fading, degrading, 
Can’t quit, I need it 

I’m not afraid to give you something you want… I’m not cruel 
It’s not a phase, I’m just deeply in love…with you 
I won’t give up, I’m not that kind of fool… for you 
I look in your eyes and see the future is cold, unsure and doubting 
But at this point in time I know you’d love to be mine 

You’re not alone, you’re not alone, 
You’re not alone, we’re not going home 
You’re not alone, you’re not alone, 
You’re not alone, we’re not going home 
You’re not alone, you’re not alone, 
You’re not alone, we’re not going home 
You’re not alone, you’re not alone, 
You’re not alone, we’re not going home

Lyrics:
Venture into the world again 
This place, it’s all so different 
The sights and sounds are whispering 
Pindrops in the echo ocean 
You hear it, you feel it, you want it… 

I… I’m thinking you should curb your expectations 
I… I’m wanting some instant gratification 
You… you’re not the one I had in mind 
Yeah… let’s run and leave this place behind 

One day to wreck the habitat 
Two words to destroy the stage I’m at 
What I want is unattainable 
What I’ve done is unsustainable 
You hear it, you feel it, you want it… 

I… I’m thinking you should curb your expectations 
I… I’m wanting some instant gratification 
You… you’re not the one I had in mind 
Yeah… let’s run and leave this place behind 

I… I’m thinking you should curb your expectations 
I… I’m wanting some instant gratification 
You… you’re not the one I had in mind 
Yeah… let’s run and leave 
Yeah, let’s leave 
Leave 
Leave. This. Place. Behind

Let's Run

Short bio: A two-man alternative rock band infused with elements of classic rock, prog rock, and metal.

Long bio: Audio Cynic are a two-piece rock band from Aberdeen, Scotland. With just two instruments and two members, they aim to create a modern alternative rock sound infused with elements of classic rock, prog rock, and metal. With the use of both a guitar amp and a bass amp, a fully-loaded pedalboard, and looped basslines, the result is a sound much bigger than typically heard from a two-piece.

Whilst being predominantly riff-orientated, the band are constantly pushing the boundaries for what’s musically possible with just two members. With shared and extensive musical interests and a joint passion for writing music that people will want to see live, Audio Cynic aim to bring a new level of excitement and energy to Scotland’s rock scene, and more importantly to the live music scene.

Audio Cynic released their debut EP, ‘Audio Cynic, Vol. I’ on June 6th 2016. They currently plan to release a full-length album in early 2017.
