Great stroy telling, music is sparse but effectively controlled to allow for dynamics and vocals to shine! :)

these soft hands have a grip 
of where the body they're a part of's going, 
if it gets up in the morning. 
papa's jeans never fit, 
handed down his looks and nervous ticks, 
but what about callouses? 
he deserves each wink of sleep - white canvas is all he dreams of. 
i dream of bombast abstractions, 
will they be something that he's proud of? 
will i ever receive applause from my creators or history's long thumb? 
will i ever go to bed thinking i earned my good fortune? 

these soft hands on my hips... 
we'll finally dance along to melodies we sing inside our head all day, 
they'll stay with us 'til they see the light. 

until then, i'll give what i got, even if it's not special - 
cuz i learn what i'm not when i'm out of perspective. 
i find i fall in at the very last second, 
but my body makes it hard to leave a lasting impression. 

these soft hands have a grip (i find i fall in) 
of where the body they're a part of's going (at the very last second) 
but my body makes it hard... 

it's what i'm working with, it's what i work toward, 
not what i'm working on, or who i'm working for. 
is it worth it? 

it's what i'm working with, it's what i work toward, 
not what i'm working on, or who i'm working for. 
is it worth it? am i worth it? 

and when it's done we'll dance and dance and dance.

Spirituals

a new-found flu in animals we never knew were so ill. 
a politician's finger's itchin' to press the button, 
to press the big red button. 

opening windows is closing my doors. 

stopped for directions, then dissected. 
wanna get home on time, and they wanna see my insides. 
i left for work to forward jokes, never thinking bout airplanes, 
never once thinking bout airplanes. 

send this to ten friends and you'll be fine. 
one more clove to keep out the vampires. 

the inbox is empty, i'm sick of waiting around for this message. 
another flash on the screen, another pinch from the dream, 
a reminder to just keep living. 

hey plug, don't wait, your juice is draining. 
there's no outlet for you remaining. 

sick with a virus, and the bug has got me pious. 
i feel it all shutting down, so i look to the clouds, 
maybe they'll remember who i was. 

hey plug, don't wait, your juice is draining. 
there's no outlet for you remaining. 

i'm slamming on the keys 
finding out about diseases 
i never knew that i had. 
minimizing all my lives 
when the screens have turned to blinds for the 
tab 
tab 
tab 
tab 
tab, i can't pay, pay it back, i said! 

>> this moment you are in is the oldest you have been. you'll always feel your age if you're waiting for the end. never mind it, it'll find you, so just keep go go going.

Pictures of You

If You Want To Make Money

all you slickers do is complain
come back home back on the range
kill a pig with no debate
we're what makes this country great

makin it great

some like it hot
some like it cold
i like it right in the middle
don't like our guns
give em a shot
you might find out you like em a lot

simplicity doesn't mean that we're stupid
from what i see, you're the ones with four dollar coffee

know my gender and my god
babies playing in the yard
little slice of apple pie
it's not much, at least it's mine

some like it hot
some like it cold
i like it right in the middle
gimme my plot
and my tv show
somewhere to shop, and leave me alone
stay out my thoughts
stay out my phone
stay out the heart of the middle
you're only stuck if you're stuck and i'm..

comfortable in the middle

the blood comes pumping from the heart of it
from the heart of your heart

comfortable in the middle

the middle

Your Love, Your Love (Your Love)

illuminati hotties - I Wanna Keep Yr Dog

I'm Not The One

With Wait!, we went for a simple yet massive-sounding song, aiming to give space for the lyrics to sit inside the listeners mind. Waits lyrics are inspired by the hope for the future we see lacking in these self-isolating times; that everything will be okay and not to worry. We felt like a really simple structure in the song would reinforce this.

Wait! Drops on Friday 24th April and will be our 6th single to date and the first release since our debut EP, Eventide, which was released in September 2019.

I don't want the world to end. (feat. Malory)
