BST is the third single off ‘Expressions of Interest’, the debut long player by Melbourne/Naarm post-punk band screensaver. The third single from the highly anticipated debut album 'Expressions of interest' out on Heavy Machinery (AU) and Upset the Rhythm (UK). 'BST' is a blend of krautrock infused electronics and new wave aesthetics. Full of swirling bass synths and pounding motorik drums, lead singer Krystal Maynard explores notions of stolen opinions and baseless facts, as we all struggle for relevance in an overcrowded collective headspace.

Recorded by Julian Cue and Christopher Stephenson and mastered by David Stepford.

Find The Light

[Verse]

Wait, you
Have you ever learnt a bad news
The ones that make you wanna throw up
When you hear the awful preaching silence

Of a world getting down on your knees
Freezing up your shoulders used to be 
The string between you and your guitar
I know it's fuzzy but it's true

I didn't know
That the moon could fly off
Next to my ocean eyes
In the edge of my hand

We cried bye

[Chorus]

To a house
Born from joy
And we burnt all the
Pictures and comic books

Since no hero 
Came to save 
The best dad of the world
When the angel came 

To take him down

[Verse]

Drive far
That's how my mom
Wanted to cope 
Leaving my sister cooking for herself

And I tried 
To prevent my bro 
To embrace that
Rope by the ceilings

But I doubt it
Since the mountains told me
To clear out my sour
Through the wind of my bikes

We cried bye

[Chorus]

To a house
Born from joy
And we burnt all the
Souvenirs and comic books

Since no hero 
Came to save 
The best dad of the world
When the angel came 

To take him down

[Bridge]

Since back then I've never cried
Since I must be the stable one
The one who'll be 
The load-bearing wall

Family of thousand flames
I promise I'll save you from
The bloody hands of God
Who took a good samaritan

[Outro]

But lately 
An outrageous rain fell down on me
And that's when I saw his lovely hair
As more than just a friend

"Kyle, are you okay ?"
He said to me
And I start crying again
In his arms

Guess his kindness
Reminded me
The niceness
Of my deceased father

Five Minutes of Courage

[Verse 1]
I woke up with you
sitting heavy on my thoughts
like you didn't want to leave—
like I talk better when I sleep

The coffee tasted bitter
the morning felt too clean
like the world had moved ahead
without waiting for me

I stood there in the doorway
keys shaking in my hand
thinking how a single step
could ruin every plan

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how it doesn't take much—
just five minutes of courage
to burn a life you built around
never asking for more

[Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
I swear I'll tell the truth
I'll stop hiding in the background
of everything I lose
I’ve been strong in all the wrong ways
brave when it didn't count—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name out loud

[Verse 2]
I’ve been good at disappearing
smiling when I should stay quiet
letting other people talk
so I don’t have to try it

You look at me like you see
every mess I've ever been
like you’re not scared of what you'll find
if I finally let you in

There's a crack in every promise
there's a fault line in my chest
I keep telling myself
silence is what's best

[Pre-Chorus]
But silence is just fear
wearing better clothes—
and I'm tired of pretending
I don't already know

[Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
I swear I'll tell the truth
I'll stop hiding in the background
of everything I lose
I've been strong in all the wrong ways
brave when it didn't count—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name out loud

[Bridge]
If I say it
everything changes
If I don’t—
everything stays the same

I don't need a miracle
don't need saving grace—
just a moment where my hands don’t shake
and I don't run away

[Final Chorus]
Give me five minutes of courage
just a little borrowed nerve
I'm done being almost honest
done getting what I deserve
I don’t want another lifetime
wondering what I should've allowed—
I just need five minutes of courage
to say your name to say it now

[Outro]
And if I fall apart
at least I'll know—
for once I stood still
and let myself be known
