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

"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

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

The Survival Code - Broken Strings - released September 25th

Biog:

The Survival Code, formed of Gary McGuinness (Lead Vocals and Guitar) and Tom Cook (Vocals and Drums) is an alt-rock band based in London. 

With influences ranging from Johnny Cash to the Deftones, this successful group have gathered a loyal fanbase as they gigged across the UK and Ireland over the last 4 years headlining some amazing venues and opening for some very talented acts.

The band have become known for their energetic and unforgiving live shows. Nothing is ever left on the stage with this lot! 

Lead singer Gary is the project’s driving force and song writer. A classical guitar scholar and skilled drummer originally from Dublin, he drummed in successful alt-rock bands for over a decade before moving to London in 2010 to see if a dent could be made in the UK music scene. 

After meeting and collaborating with Tom Cook, a talented drummer and Pete Agnelli (the bands original Bassist), The Survival Code was born. (Currently Chema plays bass with the band).

An EP “Everything but today” came in 2013 and was followed with their’ debut album “MMXV” in 2015 through “IRL” - “Strong Debut Album” Rocksound Magazine // “MMXV is a strong debut album, an absolute must for rock music fans” - Rocksins

This year is all about the 3 track EP entitled “Broken Strings” which will feature two lead singles, the first of which is the title track “Broken Strings” due on the 25th of Sept through IRL. 

The band will be gigging at venues in the UK and Ireland throughout the rest of the year. Dates are below.

Album Coming next year around May 2017

“Music is a form of storytelling, and it’s my job to make that story captivating” - Gary McGuinness, Lead Singer - The Survival Code

On Broken Strings, the band said: "The song is based from a line that we find very poignant from a poem by an indian/Bengal Rabindranath Tagore”

His poem:

"The song that I came to sing remains unsung to this day.
I have spent my days in stringing and in unstringing my instrument.
The time has not come true, the words have not been rightly set;
only there is the agony of wishing in my heart.
The blossom has not opened; only the wind is sighing by.
I have not seen his face, nor have I listened to his voice;
only I have heard his gentle footsteps from the road before my house.
The livelong day has passed in spreading his seat on the floor;
but the lamp has not been lit and I cannot ask him into my house.
I live in the hope of meeting with him; but this meeting is not yet".

-Rabindranath Tagore in the Gitanjali
