Part Time - RETURN TO CHERRY

lately i've been feeling good,feeling nice, feeling sweet
but i've no one to think of when i go to sleep
no one is good enough for me

in all my dreams i have long, flowing hair
no one pulls it, they only brush it with care
but i still pull it when i see u stare

ill rip it out for u

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
to even the odd
put your faith in the animal

trust in fresh bone
in the body it’s grown
chaos is nothing but chance,
blind energy lost in a dance

You don’t have to pick a side
since noone’s right
you we’re taught to accept
what you’re here to defy

you can let the people pray through the week
find a way of turning the other cheek
and Justify their every action
with the teachings of a faction
see them burn by the fires that take them

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
bury your god

you don’t need to believe a lie
or to testify
you belong to this world
and will long after you die

you can let the fuckers prey on the weak
add up all the points in their kill streak
or you can give an ultimatum
allow the time to understand why people hate em,
or burn by the fires that made em

(album out nov. 2017)
Its a stick up don't make it a murder
the junkie said to get further
Took my money took my boots
new kid, never Knew
pt to sd is normal, or should i say natural
why are you here they ask me
i don't know don't ask me

Beast of Burden cant explain
Her baby's born with wrong name
Papa was soldier with no grave
she ran from home never the same
Over the border she fled pain
Her baby's daddy found in the drain
Why are you here they asked her
She didn't know the answer

The baby's crying all day and night long
she sits there trying to sing him a song
its all too much memories come on
but she's...Carrying on....
The baby's crying all day and night long
she sits there trying to sing him a song
its all too much memories come on
but she's...Carrying on....

LYRICS
Brothers on his way
praying up to 10 times a day
till he finds that he has something more to say
Over the same old gal
Possible life long pal
but what did she mean when she said she'd be your pal?

Sweet and shy
Nice Nice guy
Forget the finish line
You're wasting someones time x2

Over the same old song
many moments making no sense
its Ramadan in the sun
everyone's at fault
Some will never last
waking up to break their fast
in the moment it seemed the day could easily pass

Sweet and shy
Nice Nice guy
Forget the finish line
You're wasting someones time ....

Nice Guy

The first single from the upcoming album in stasis, 'PALLBEARER' (out 15.11.18)

I left the front door open
the cat escaped without it’s collar
my friends won’t hear him coming
oh to be born with fangs
and an understanding
that death is a gift we give ourselves

turned pale from the nicotine
the body sways from the beer poured generously
white knuckles knock my front door, and I feel like a stranger

The lights on in the kitchen
tea is made and pills are taken
I check the clock that’s always broken
my pulse, no longer racing, 
I shut my eyes and bend the knee

laces tied, and the dog sighs, but I’m not leaving yet

Laces

From the latest album to come out of stasis, 'Pallbearer'

"A nostalgic stream of consciousness, interrupted by
the announcement of a newborn, and with it, a striking realisation
of my own mortality.

Contrasting old world sentiments with the anxiety of modern living."

I received a box of teeth 
from a good old friend 
at a closing dentistry 
after their final appointment 

I must be givin' off a killer vibe, if you know what I mean 
death is a curious thing 
and there's something cool about stuff that gives you the creeps 

I used to skate the park behind stockland, Nowra 
before they tore it down to build something better 
fuck it, there were too many tiny rocks, I always skinned my knees 

we scanned for those suckers, like metal detectors 
swept the concrete with rubber feet 
oh hey my brother just had a baby 

Bad Math 

ye'know, somewhere in Gwynneville, there's a jar of his urine 
that we had hidden, beneath a garden bed 
I hope that years now it is found, and seen as a relic, maybe they'll clone him, maybe they'll leave it 

Alice will learn to breath 
a different kind of air 
and I'll perish in time 

oh I've only seen your picture, 
but I already love you, 
you're my family, 
I'm your uncle 
your tiny fingers will break if I squeeze too hard, oh that's frightening 
what kind of god would be so cruel 

Bad Math 
Bad Math 

oh I've only seen your picture, 
but I already love you, 
you're my family, 
I'm your uncle

sitting at a coffee shop 
"tell me about your day" 
flipping through your notes 
we start to escalate again 
i never seem to understand 
any of it in the end 

i replay each moment slowly 
frame by frame - a different story 
in my mind i'd like to change 
everything i said that day 

talking on a summer night 
"we can do it your way" 
turns into a fight 
i start to raise my voice again 
you never seem to understand 
any of it in the end 

i replay each moment slowly 
frame by frame - a different story 
in my mind i'd like to change 
everything i said that day 

and i still remember every sentence 
that i said that made you cry 
and if i could go back to evening

pointed chin and rounded nose 
the angle at which they slope 
keep me on my knees and on my toes 

freckled face and ears that glow 
a breath you take, soft and slow 
stop my heart but that’s just how it goes 

please don’t walk away from me 
before i say my piece 
i know it’s hard enough to keep 
your composure 
and maybe later on this week 
we’ll take back the words we speak 
and you’ll tell me once again 
that it’s over 

tangled hair, a beauty mark 
every touch, a work of art 
tell me why this has to be so hard 

glassy eyes and lips that part 
a tear you shed, an odd remark 
why’d you make me love you in the dark

I'm back to my older ways, I'm playing with sand
relivin' my salad days, where all this began
carvin' the detail with a steadier hand
while the waves come creepin' in 

LOOK there's love in a garden, knowledge in books
no harm in tryin' or havin' a look 
listenin's better than runnin' your motor
but singin's a way to make the motor sound cleaner

I'm chasin' a dream 
cus' you gave me the reigns
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste

you let me build houses under my sheets
hide out every single day of those weeks
you bought me a cat, and you took it right back
if you didn't, it'd end up starving or fat

Kids are poppin' out of this earth
sooner or later I'll know what I'm worth
to a twinkly eyed dreamer like me
and I'll mirror all of your parenting

life is a cigarette I couldn't help smokin'
perhaps one lesson I'm yet to be learnin'
I know you don't like it, and neither do I
a passive habit from enjoyin' my time

I'm puffin' the dragon
cus' you gave me these lips
and an orange ain't nothin' without the pips

you're a mother of 5
caretaker of more
I knew jealously before I was 4
but I got over it, and now I like I sharing
whatever I have with the one who is askin'

I'm chasin' a feelin'
cus' you gave me the space
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste

Pips

they say the best way to get over someone 
is to get under someone else 
and i try to fill this void but 
no one seems to help 
can't stop crying long enough 
to get the words out 
but it's not as if you're listening 

who needs love anyway 
it was hard when you were here 
but it's worse when you're away 

how could you have nothing to say 
you were worth a hundred years 
but i was only worth two days

listening

recorded may 30, 2016


Oh, well it's your last day 
And you're looking for some closure to the end of your stay 
But the sun is setting now 
And the time you had slipped away somehow 

And it never did seem fair 
Wanna go but don't know where 
Got some idea of some excitement 
Some conclusion, some satisfaction 
Some way to make it all make sense 

All we get are loose ends 
Start something, end it, going nowhere again 
Feels like there's something, something worth doing 
Some final goal, some ultimate purpose 
Some way to make it all connect 

She lights another cigarette 
Says another won't hurt, it hasn't killed me yet 
She's looking out watching red sunset 
It's a dead sort of feeling, not happy and not upset 

Oh, well it's your last day 
And you're looking for some closure to the end of your stay 
Well here's the question no one likes to address: 
Where are we going with this whole damn mess? 
Convinced ourselves that there's something it means 
There must be somewhere it's all gonna lead 

I wanna be a part of something, something meaningful 
I wanna be a part of something, something beautiful 

And it never did seem fair 
Wanna go but don't know where 
Got some idea of some excitement 
Some conclusion, some satisfaction 
Some way to make it all make sense 

Well I don't have the answer 
I just live along the best that I can 
And no one has the answer 
We all just tell ourselves the best that we can 

I wanna be a part of something, something deliberate 
I wanna be a part of something, something infinite
