Macseal - Sandbox

This dimly lit confinement that I call my own apartment has sucked me in a web of self pity and decay
I seem to find myself just lying awake in bed until 2 PM on Saturdays just wasting myself away


I'll never leave

Tell me that I'm different. I know it doesn't make a difference that my differences differ, it's all the same anyways
cause I try (yeah I try) and I'll try ( yeah sure,"try") but in the end I'm still alone and just totally lame
At least I tell myself that anyways

I'm hard on myself and I can't seem to stray from the idea that I'm worthless and have nothing else to give
I haven't slept a wink in what feels like days but I know I've only been awake since noon today
And it's 4 PM

God damn it

Tell me that I'm different. I know it doesn't make a difference that my differences differ, it's all the same anyways
cause I try ’yeah I try’ and I'll try ( yeah sure, "try") but in the end I'm still alone and just totally lame



Since you left I haven't felt the same. The reason that I live, 3000 miles away
It's just hard to sit around all day and not be reminded of all the things you'd say
To make me laugh, to make my fears go away
A condition that's position eats me everyday
I just wish there could be another way for you to come home, back to me, back to the old days

These days that I just lay awake have taught me what you really mean
I should be more dependent but I find it hard to determine if it's even worth living my own days

Marietta - Cinco De Mayo Shit Show

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.
