Song Lyrics :
C1
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed 
Time will help solve most of this 
But some things just can’t be fixed 

V1
Webs we weave have caught up with us
Taking their toll no time to adjust 
Drowning in the dry before your eyes
Searching for gods I’m Yet to find 
This suffering is currency, the truth concealed, nothing is what it seems

C2
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this 
But some things just can’t be fixed 

For the cause you fought and bled
This place wants us all dead
Push water up a hill
Don’t let a drop spill

C3
There is no going back
And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this 
But some things just can’t be fixed 

Don’t you, reason
It is, written 
In, stone 

And the heart will bleed
Time will help solve most of this
But some things just can’t be fixed

The Heart Will Bleed

Song Lyrics :
V1
The first time I saw you face 
i couldn’t help but double take 
Become part of my shadow
My pulse has lose control 
Marrow in my bones 

I swore we’ve met before 
In a past life or more 
Can’t imagine the hole
The rhythm of my soul
Without you always here  
 
B1
It seems within reach
Give all you can for it 

C1
When the one you love 
Never wanted you back 
What hurts the most 
They never knew you existed 

So i put down some roots
Make myself a home
Give it my best shot , believing the line
Anything is possible 
Have my own seat at the bar 
That i sit in every day 
Coming here all these years, then realise 
No one knows my name

B2
It seems within reach
Give all you can for it 

C2
When the one you love 
Never wanted you back 
What hurts the most 
They never you existed 

M8
Not right 
Was I ever really here 
My time 
Is spent and I’ve got nothing left

C3
When the one love 
Never wanted you back
What hurts the most is
They never, knew you existed

Never Knew You Existed

Song Lyrics :
V1
Submit to the river, go with the flow
Sever the ties, that prop you up 
Anchored to the shore
Too scared to break free 
Or is it because 
You were told to believe  

This world doesn’t function 
Without lots of those 
like you and me

why do we let
The system breathe 
And take Everything 

B1
For right, or wrong, for better, or worse 

C1
I haven’t gotten all the answers 
Been here for so long 
But here I am still crawling
Talking about standing tall 
There’s always tomorrows 
In a world of failed yesterdays 
Got to keep on moving 
I gotta find a way 

V2
Do you know yourself, or is it just pretend? 
Going on a journey, you can’t regret 
A house filled with mirrors, sees to your soul
Can’t look away, nowhere to hide anymore 

Hold ,yourself, up to the flame 
Are you different, or just the same (or just the same as them)
The same as them

B2
For right, or wrong, for better, or worse 

C2
I haven’t gotten all the answers 
Been here for so long 
But here I am still crawling
Talking about standing tall 
There’s always tomorrows 
In a world of failed yesterdays 
Got to keep on moving 
Got to find a way 

Find a way
Find a way
Find a way

C3
Here I am still crawling, 
just pretending,
Got to keep moving to find a way,
No matter some day

For Right, Or Wrong, For Better, Or Worse

Song Lyrics :
V1
Made so much sense, from, the outside 
Started to burn the closer I got
Until the whole damn thing was just pretend, 
came apart, sand through my hands
Disintegrated with out a trace

Go against the ones who loved you 
Averse to the ones who stood by you  
Tell them all what , they need , To hear 

C1
Is even bit of this true 
Or have they been lying to you 

V2
Do anything, to be right 
Cut my nose off to spite, my own face 
least likely to love
Struggling to relate to myself 
So why should anyone else

C2
Is even one bit of this true 
Or have they been lying to you 
So it became your point of view
What else were you supposed to do

M8
I FIGURED IT OUT, I HEAR IN STEREO 
IM SEEING CLEAR NOW, WE’RE JUST FOOLING OURSELVES 

C8
Is even one bit of this true 
Or have they just been lying to you 
I FIGURED IT OUT, I HEAR IN STEREO 
IM SEEING CLEAR NOW, WE’RE JUST FOOLING OURSELVES 
What else is left 

Outro
Made so much sense, from, the outside 
Started to burn the closer i got

We Are Just Fooling Ourselves

Song Lyrics :
V1
Draw a line, in the sand 
And let it define you 
No matter what, don’t back down 
Deny what’s in front of you 

B1
When all is lost, what you have left, but what you have done
You never know, who wins the war, between the head and the heart 

C1
We are just a sum of all our parts 
Your actions speak much louder than your words 

V2
Fool me once, shame on you, 
a passenger must learn fast 
No matter what, don’t look back
Doesn’t lead you , anywhere 

B2
When all is lost, what you have left, but what you have done


C2
We are just a sum of all our parts 
No matter the intention in your heart 
We are just a sum of all our parts
Your actions speak much louder than your words, ever could 

M8
We, are just, the sum, of what we have done 
You, can paint it as you want, but that’s just not what was, the sum of all our parts

C3
We are just a sum of all our parts 
No matter the intention in your heart 
Your actions speak much louder than your words, ever could

Choreography And Chaos

"Can't Be Explained" is the 9th single of the year of 2023 from the upcoming album "Whispers Of Woe". The song has a lovely tempo, the most chilled on the album. It has a lovely play off between major and minor in the chorus and a lovely message about travelling far and wide searching for answers, to discover the answers were there all along, right in front of you

C1

It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded 
The sentence completes
just when you need 

In this moment, you will question everything 
Abandoned by the very streets, that kept you safe 
The answers never lived in far off places
It just took some time for you to see the light 

C2

It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded 
The sentence completes
just when you need 

V2
searching, craving, validation 
Like being fed to the lions 
Running further from all embraces 
That taught you everything you know about life 

C2

It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded 
The sentence completes
just when you need 



V2
seaching, craving validation 
Like being fed to the lions 
Running further from all embraces 
That taught you everything you know about life 

C3

It just can’t be explained
The light leaves you blinded 
The sentence completes
just when you need

Can't Be Explained

Digging Your Own Grave is the 10th single in 2023 from TSC from their upcoming album "Whispers Of Woe" which is due for release this January 26th

Digging Your Own Grave is reminiscent of TSC's earlier sound which was a little more "pop-punk" and contrasts the brightness in the music to the dark imagery which is perfect timing for Friday the 13th and this time of year 

The song is about all the times in life you make bad choices knowing they're the wrong path. Sometimes these choices mount up and it can feel like you're digging your own grave

Digging Your Own Grave

Beefy riffs, groove and some great hooks, “waiting in the wings” is one of our favourite tracks on our latest album due out this jan 26th. This is our 11th single of the year and has a lot of similarities to our biggest track/the song we are best known for that has over 1.6m streams on one streaming platform alone  : So serious. We are independent, unsigned and have spent 4 years crafting this, the videos for every song, the artwork (over 200 pieces created related to the themes/songs/lyrics). This has been the biggest undertaking we’ve ever done and any help with spreading the word would be invaluable. The song has also had great depth with a forboding middle 8 and uniqely poppy verse. This tracks represents our band perfectly, thanks for your consideration

Waiting In The Wings

Random Faces is the last of 12 singles in 12 months in 2023 from the upcoming album "Whisper Of Woe" which is out January 26th 2023

It's a tune more reminiscent of our earlier releases, the now almost impossible to find "Everything But Today" EP from 2011 to our early albums "MMXV" 2015 & "Hopelessness Of People" 2018 with a pop-punky upbeat feel to the song, with our usual balance of contrasts featuring a deep meaningful song underneath 

The song thunders into life from the opening moment with a rhythmic pattern that slowly reveals the song before offering the chorus melody which is the songs main hook

“Random Faces” is about being unable to love yourself and seeking instead to fill whats missing with random people.  We’ve all been there or we know people in our lives that continually try and fill what’s missing in life with people in a desperate attempt to feel whole and the consequences are rarely positive. The song is about self reflection, when there’s a chance to blame others or point the finger, the answer often starts with ourselves and needing to break the cycle.. doing this dance again and again expecting different outcomes!…

Random Faces

13.Before The Dark Takes All Of Us

V1
Something you’ve always known 
Spent your life trying to fight 
Won’t be put in a box
there is no way to hide 

But you can’t force the seasons
Or hide from your shadow 
Searching for the reasons
How it’s always you who is left in the end 

C1
I just need something 
More than this nothing
That proves there is more
Before the dark takes all of us 

V2 
Under the influence 
Terrified to look back 
I know who I am
And that’s what scares me from time to time 

C2
I just  need something 
Stop the numb feeling 
That proves there is more
Before the dark takes all of us 
We all need something 
Convinced we’re  failing 
Trying to feel more
Before the dark takes all of us

M8
All of us x2
You can’t con-quer this dark-ness
But it can be tamed 

Outro 
Just a glimmer of hope 
The slightest of light 
Keep spirits raised 
In dark of night 
It’s a black hole 
That lives inside 
Slowly taking
All of our time

Before The Dark Takes All Of Us

14.THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY

V1
I’ve never known where this path leads 
but I run at full pace
Only got one gear, singular thought process, 
solitary way 
Going to flog this horse until it works, 
or breaks

B2
It seems the dusk has set in
On our fairytale end
No point reminiscing
Or wondering what could have been 

C1
There’s no, such thing , as bad weather 
You just never pack the right things 
centre of the storm (centre of every storm)
There has to be another way 

V2
Endless New Years resolutions
left unfulfilled 
Intentions must count for something 
Is what your tell yourself  
Strike the stone with so much force 
it breaks 

B2
It seems the dusk has set in
On our fairytale end
No point reminiscing
Or wondering what could have been 

C2
There’s no such thing, as bad weather 
You just never packed the right things 
centre of the storm Always 
There has to another way

R
WHEN THE SMALLEST THINGS
CAUSE YOU SO MUCH PAIN
WATCHING YOU BLEED
FOR NO REASON

WHEN THE SMALLEST THINGS
CAUSE YOU SO MUCH PAIN
THIS SHOULDNT BE 
SO HARD

There Has To Be Another Way
