Limits

We've been recording our debut album on and off over the last 18 months, and we're inching ever closer to completion ...
 
The album will be a cacophony of fiction and self-portrayal, failures and antiheroes, despair and final optimism.

This song was written three years ago. Never has it felt more apt than now.

Long Knives

We're writing, recording, and releasing a new song every month in 2016. This is August's song. 

Released 31st August 2016.

Did you grow up? 
Formative years 
Lillies in black 
We just stayed here 

You f***ing funny funny guy 
(I'm all alone, just go away) 
Hang your insides out to dry 
(I know you want me in your sway) 
Sour flavoured fever dream 
(I'm all alone, just go away) 
Blaming you I hurt myself 

Hollow head, hope for it 
Did you say you're over it? 

My words got lost 
Deafeningly 
Cotton wool mouth 
Spits when it speaks 

A ceremony, coming down 
(I'm all alone, just go away) 
All repeating empty vows 
(I know you want me in your sway) 
Brick yourself up in your house 
(I'm all alone, just go away) 
Mother, father, love another 

Hollow head, hope for it 
Did you say you're over it? 
I'm not done, I'm awake 

I'm all alone, just go away 
I'm all alone, just go away 
I'm all alone, just go away 
I'm all alone, just go away

Lyrics...
I'll be frank you could be anyone. Dragged through a hedge, got your burning bush hairdo on. Be a prophet in your own world share your messages. Be it scroll or postal prose or post it note prophecies. Just write on the book that your four winds blew. Talk us through the gospel according to…Adam and Eve throwing apples at monkeys while they read and write. When all the batteries run just hold the tin can string tight. Happy families is a game of bloodline politics. It's not who you know you’re judged on blood and water mix. Just write on the book that your four winds blew. Talk us through the gospel according to…Lose the puppeteer so long marionette. We're piles of books unread waiting to pour our insides out. You could be anyone…I'll be frank you could be anyone. Dressed to impress, got your ageing birthday suit on. Be a prophet in your own world share your messages. Be it scroll or shop window or post it note prophecies. Just write on the book that your four winds blew. Talk us through the gospel according to…I’ll be frank you could be anyone.
