Sky Harbour
Track 6 from 'togetheralone' EP
Released March 10th 2011

So many thoughts inside my head I can't sleep. Struggling to live life in the red I'm naive cos I'm wasting all my time contemplating I'm wasting all my time. Someone give me some direction please cause my compass is broken. Someone give me some direction please. Cos this ship is going down and there are no lifeboats around that can take me to somewhere I'd rather be, I'll take my chances in the sea and I'm neck deep. Everywhere I turn there's an uphill bend, I can't see what the outcome is if I reach the end it's useless cos I'm wasting all my time exasperating I'm wasting all my time. Someone give me some direction please cause my compass is broken. Someone give me some direction please. Cos this ship is going down and there are no lifeboats around that can take me to somewhere I'd rather be, I'll take my chances in the sea and I'm neck deep.

Neck Deep

2013's new EP 'Head Down' - available on limited 7" vinyl via Pinky Swear Records

LYRICS:
Learning from mistakes,
We lose ourselves, re-navigate,
and feel the pressure start to weigh in.
I've never understood the way,
We push ourselves until we break.
My one track mind, ... blinds and sticks,
A back up plan distracts and conflicts.
You only get what you give and if you don't give enough,
You can take it or leave it it's all that you've got.
This is all that we need,
I fell, These cuts won't bleed.
I feel healthy.
Invincible against this,
I took my time and more.
Never start to feel contentment,
til my feet are sore.
Act first, think later
At worst we'll pay for this.
This is a warning sign,
From everything you left behind.
You're wasting time.
I've been stuck up in my bed,
Not waking up, sleeping instead.
And I've been wasting time.
I'll do this despite you.
I'm warning, I'll fight through,
With every nerve left,
I know it's not worthless.


Nothing In Return

2013's new EP 'Head Down' - available on limited 7" vinyl via Pinky Swear Records

LYRICS:
I'm tired of compromise.
I tried to get through to you,
But your walls are too thick,
And everything I throw,
Just comes back again.
I tried to talk to myself,
But the words don't mean a thing,
When my head tells my heart,
There's no bargaining.
Feels like you're made of stone,
And I'm just skin and bone,
A live reminder that,
I wasn't enough for you.
I tried to disengage,
I tore myself a new page,
And told myself,
That I still wasn't enough for you.
Get some perspective,
And think before you speak next time,
Less overreacting, 
You were blind, I was fine, 
I thought you'd see that in time.
I was always there,
And you were always listening,
Or so it seemed.
We've never seen eye to eye.
This is a wake-up call,
For every single morning,
You've had me crawling back.
And If I start again,
I know I'll be much better,
But better isn't what I had.
Forgive me for stepping out of my place,
You were the only one left with a smile on your face.
When I was low and in deep,
You found it in me.
All I wanted was an honest reaction,
Just to get some peace of mind.
If I told you what it meant,
Would it make any difference?
This was for you.

LYRICS:
Dearest love, I hope this finds you well
I am kidding this is probably hell
Lonely stranger with a brush in hand
Never saw me sneaking up on him
Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew 
They’ll blame the blood spilled on you
I’m closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again

Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped!  Don’t wait!

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending

Would you remember Joan of Arc was her flesh yet unlicked by flame?
Will you remember how the waves crash on the shores of time?
Who would’ve ever known that each choice made sense?
Who could’ve ever known?
Are we not our actions?  
Our lives are poetry, make them sonnets

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears
I’m trapped!  Don’t wait!

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
The story is ending

Why do the floorboards creak like a heartbeat
This room is driving me insane
What’s behind the bricks?
Who’s rapping at my chamber door?
Pendulum, why do you torment me?
What am I saying?  Have I lost my mind?

I am her!

No longer Fatima, goddess, light  
I’ve become Rusalka, demon of night!

Two moves ahead of you
You are a pawn
Castle now but I’m behind your king
As your queen lays bleeding on the board
Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

Don’t wait...

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves
The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end
Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone
The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide
Page abandoned, time is ending
The story is ending, make them sonnets
We sit and watch the world’s collide

The night that I died I had become Rusalka.  I was no longer me.  I was no longer Annabel.  The beautiful evil coursed through my veins and I saw so clearly what needed to be done.  As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell and kissed your cheek.  The knife felt so light in my hand, so heavy in my stomach.  There is something about this room…

[Verse]
You left me by myself
I never needed anyone
I never needed anyone

You left me all alone
I never needed anyone

Red, Green Or Inbetween

WSTR - Featherweight

responsibility won’t ever get the best of me
sands through the hour glass they won’t hold back
I’ll spend eternity recalling all the days gone by
the second hand spins faster, faster as we run out of time

fuck the future fuck the past live everyday like it’s your last
it’s our time take a stand life is short so don’t hold back 

we never asked for this no longer will we take this shit
don’t be afraid to take a risk in 
the end it will all be worth it 

every wrong turn brings me back to this place 
keep holding on and learn to embrace 

each step I take is one step closer to the end the sky is my limit as long as I have my friends

Years after its inception, No Sleep continues to push the boundaries of music with a diverse lineup of innovative acts that don't necessarily fit any single genre, but instead are out to cut their own path. From La Dispute and Touche Amore to Balance and Composure and Into It. Over It., the label has become one of the scene's most coveted labels for bands to call home.
