This circle calls your name like fire that has bestowed upon another disbelief 
A disbelief that you were something 
could feel something yet not human 
not human like me 
Pressed upon my heart 
Subtle at the start 
Rest upon another shoreline 

Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright 
Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here

If this is the fiction we live then I want to be etched out of every plot 
I’m tired of every false god and broken promises 
Again and again 
When do we learn for the better?
My wrists never heal from the limits I was to afraid to take 
So I close my eyes and take that leap of faith 
Into the circle of mistakes 

Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright 
Cast away another tear 
Don’t worry when I die I’ll always be right here 
You rip apart my dreams at night 
Lie to me and tell me everything will all be alright

Circle (prod. saint mike)

An ep I've been making ig I've just been making music to deal with my life. I love making it don't get me wrong, it's probably the only thing that helps me feel in a way. I'm rambling but enjoy I put a lot of effort.

YOU SURE?

Verse
I must confess my sun-kissed angel
I haven't seen the sunshine in quite some time
If there's a hell on Earth
I'm living in it now

Verse
And it's been hard to sleep without you
It's been hard to breathe without you
You don't know how many nights I lie awake
Staring at the ceiling

Chorus
But mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word

Verse
And I've been missing you more than ever
I've been missing you more than ever
I've been missing you more than ever
But you're better where you are

Verse
And sometimes I get so lost in this world
I just want to be found
You don't know how many nights I lie awake
Waiting for you to come around

Chorus
But mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word

Mum's The Word

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.

1991 With The Bullet

Your explanations 
are 
underrated   
waited 
all night 
for a sign
unrelated I was 
blind sided

high
enough 
Inside 
trip late
Drip thighs 
disappeared 

rolled eyes 
to find you

Left on read 
end game 
to dead
reach me 
then forget
promise me 
all night 
blind 
side 

High 
enough
Inside 
trip late
Dripped thighs 
disappear

Rolled my eyes 
to find you
To Fuck around 
and find out 
And find you 

explanations are 
underrated

blind side

After the falling stars,
We’re still here, hearts with scars.
Winter fades, the night retreats,
Peace flows in familiar streets.

All the chaos, all the fight,
Settles soft in morning light.

After the falling stars,
We find love despite the scars.
No more running, no more wars,
Just quiet hearts and open doors.

Snow melts into rivers slow,
Every loss helps us grow.
We’re alive, we’ve made it through,
The season shines in me and you.

Hold my hand, the night is done,
Home is where the hearts are one.

After the falling stars,
We find love despite the scars.
No more running, no more wars,
Just quiet hearts and open doors.

After the Falling Stars v2

A hard-hitting outlaw-country anthem about pushing through every hit life throws and staying in the saddle anyway. Rough roads, long nights, and a man too stubborn to quit — still here, still ridin’.

Still Here Ridin’
