lyrics:
passing out with your friends
i know you've more sense than that
least you got calls to get
and i'll be alone again

why would you ever stay?
i see how you look away
you're the only thing i hold
i think it's all getting old

there's another way out 
and if you wanna take it,
go on, i'll be the first one singing your praises
it's only one night of feeling the shit
for a life without this

so i got your number
my tide pulled you under
stand high, bite the sunburn
bite the sunburn

hazy out in my head
a sign that i'm losing sense
maybe i'll make a friend
maybe i won't instead

it's tuesday now and i'm feeling the weight
what a long day life became
my crusade now is on its last of legs
but it's okay, i'd say

friends

lyrics:

have me over and love me like you say you would
have me over and fuck me like you say you would
one by one got the pieces in hand
two past two when i'm always your man

it's not a lie
oh honey 'bout to arrive

and come
i was just looking for my outsized pride
i was just hoping you would stroke my thigh
and i'll be gone when you like
oh honey, i will oblige

take me over and taste me like i'm cinnamon
take me over and crush me like your ritalin
fun times, fun got your hair in my hand
two past two when we're starting again

it's not a lie
oh honey 'bout to arrive

and come
i was just looking for my outsized pride
i was just hoping you would stroke my thigh
and i'll be gone when you like
oh honey, i will oblige

lyrics:

i'm scared of choking on my food
and being rude
i'm scared of ridicule too
my face is blue
i'm scared of shitting where i eat
and smelling meat
i'm scared of fungus on my feet
and seeming weak
i'm scared of losing all my friends
and making them
i'm scared of dark roast blend
can't catch my breath
i'm scared of being in love
if i ever was
i'm scared of doing drugs
and doing them too much

where'd you fill that hole?
maybe i could go
see what that's about
fill mine in somehow

i'm scared of dying on my bike
and being liked
i'm scared of choosing someone nice
over someone right
i'm scared of everyone here
they're so severe
i'm scared that i'm not worth their time
i'm wasting mine
i'm scared of my unplayed guitar
sits on the wall
i'm scared of my guitar in hand
i hate my band
i'm scared of feeling 85
at 25
i'm scared of consolation prize
at 85

where'd you fill that hole?
maybe i could go
see what that's about
fill mine in somehow

i'm scared of the end
i'm scared of the end

scared

lyrics:
i heard you were asking for me
at the bar that i don't think you drink
you could've called
but i guess i've been doing alright
i'm learning to take it in stride
but you know it's all a big lie
i let it die

i was your one man parade
of monochrome bullshit malaise
floatin on, floatin on
i knew you were wasting your time
the hole in my chest was too wide
you dug me in deep but i climbed
and then i let it die

(did you hear about?)
the year that i begged for a grave
(did you think about?)
the way that i choked on your name
(did it make the rounds?)
the song that i always would sing
(did you care about?)
me

let it die

"Knockoff is a beautiful little ditty, with the soft vocal style mixing together in lovely fashion with the dual guitar melodies that provide most of the music here. It’s catchy, but it never sounds too commercialised, and it’s one of those tracks that you’ll have to listen to a few times before you fully hear everything – it sounds simple at first, but there’s a lot more going on in the background than you realise at first." - By Jane Howkins
