This is not a string you want to pull on 
The corner getting closer won’t move on 
You want your actions to be lost 
And everything you said to be undone 
So you’ll keep living like you’re never wrong 
Even though you want to be done 
I know that you’ll carry on 
You’re just like every single one of us 
And that’s why we live under illusion 
Its mass hallucination.

Codex

Days filter on 
The light is there 
But the pleasure is gone 
You’re back in its grasp 
A hold that is hollow 
Of that you’re aware 
A spark is still there
The circuit breaks again 

Lethargy 
It’s not good enough 
You need to get up 
This time together 

Lethargy 
It’s not good enough 
It’s time to get up 
It’s time to get up

Inertia

On Castlegate,
Glass rocks and grass 
Move in and out 
Of police hands 
So what more can you ask 
Of Thatcher’s town 
Makes fiends of those who stick around 

This glasshouse full of stones 
Steals the marrow of their souls 
And their words cut like ice 
Through bone 

I wanna get up and turn around

Folk

I feel this cold to the core 
How could I not speak?
Or get back in my place?
We seek the scars.
I slip and fall, 
Into the lie 
I had contrived.
A standard life, 
for Stepford wives 
Control a lie 
-A dream gone by-
So just hold the front 
And watch their eyes, 
The words are blunt 
But not their knives.

Song To The Siren

A Window

Manchester based electronic duo Codex bring the aesthetics of modern dance music to traditional song forms, fusing them together and forming their own mark of experimental pop. Taking production and song writing influence from the likes of James Blake, Tame Impala and Burial, the vocal style of Thom Yorke, and the thumping drums akin to techno, breakbeat & hip hop.

Notable shows include performances at Beat-Herder Festival and a support slot for Warp residents: Battles, at the Manchester venue Gorilla.
