Chickentown 03:49
lyrics

I had seen the sun go down Once in my life Now it’s an endless struggle To live through the night Was it worth the bloodstained headaches? Was it worth the fight? Again and again, it tries to bruise me There is no pain, no pain, no pain In the back of my mind Again and again, it tries to bruise me I forgot my full name And my truthful purpose Again and again, it tries to bruise me This town is eating my soul From the inside Again and again, it tries to bruise me In the dark, it’s the hardest thing To stay alive Again and again, it tries to bruise me Again and again and again How it tries to bruise me Again and again and again How it tries to bruise me

Face Down on the Tracks 02:41
lyrics

I’ve been face down on the tracks for so many years I could barely even care about it I’ve seen so many broken people with their faces all red Don’t know how they care about it I forgot how it hurts It couldn’t get much worse I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown I’ve heard so many fucking lies All strung so tight I can barely keep them all together I’ve been to the darkest place Where I lost my face But it’s fine, it’s fine I forgot how it hurts It couldn’t get much worse I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown till I learn how to swim I’ll drown

Proof of Life 03:17
lyrics

There’s a pain inside my head I found out my brother’s dead Buried my face inside the sink Drowning my thoughts with black ink Just know I could be suffering more There’s no such thing as a perfect score Try to beat it, I don’t mean it I don’t mean it, I don’t mean it There’s a pain inside my head I found out my love is dead There is no point in keeping faith Cause it don’t ever go your way Just know I could be suffering more There’s no such thing as a perfect score Try to beat it, I don’t mean it I don’t mean it, I don’t mean it Brother I have so many questions Brother you don’t know what you’re missing Brother I have so many questions You don’t know just who you’re messing with Brother I have so many questions Brother you don’t know what you’re missing Brother I have so many questions You don’t know just who you’re messing with

Anticipation 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Stumbled to the bathroom in a trancelike state Vision torn in pieces, I could not see my face I can’t stay too long No one is that strong Maniacal grin wrapped around his face His eyes were blurred but his mouth took the stage I couldn’t save myself From the words that had come out I don’t know if I’ll lose my heart The pain begins when the waiting starts Anticipation Nobody knows them No one knows their stories They don’t bother to listen as their voices always bore them I can’t stay too long No one is that strong Nobody goes with any of their ghosts Nobody deserts their life when it needs them the most I couldn’t save myself From the words that had come out I don’t know if I’ll lose my heart The pain begins when the waiting starts Anticipation I’ve never told anyone what I want The struggle would be much too hard Anticipation seeps out of the dark Nobody ever taught me how to talk The struggle would be much too hard Anticipation seeps out of the dark Anticipation seeps out of the dark

Metanoia 03:13
lyrics

I see you in the walls Behind closed doors, behind closed doors Don’t know what I’m falling for Need something more, need something more And our hearts have been remade From broken glass, from broken glass I wish we never stayed Cause we could last, oh we could last Oh, I fell through the water I found peace within your broken eyes And we will soon learn how to live I hope to see the day tomorrow The year has gone too fast We never lived, we never lived Believe this is the last Chance to forgive, we could’ve lived Oh, I fell through the water I found peace within your broken eyes And we will soon learn how to live I hope to see the day tomorrow

The Mirror 03:02
lyrics

I’m still living with the mirror It’s been throwing up all day The time is slowly running thinner And the glass is turning grey The house is sinking to the roots It’s been like this for a while And the walls are coming loose The mirror only sits and smiles Do you even care? Or are you only here To reflect all that I fear? The answer’s never there All you do is stare Slowly getting closer to my- Can’t seem to find antidote There’s always something in the way The mirror’s been consumed by smoke But still it lives like it’s okay And now we’re living underground I’m the only one to blame I look over to the mirror And we almost look the same Do you even care? Or are you only here To reflect all that I fear? The answer’s never there All you do is stare Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my- Do you even care? Or are you only here To reflect all that I fear? The answer’s never there All you do is stare Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my head Closer to my head Closer to my head Slowly getting closer to my-

Fade Away 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Leaving your house one stormy night was such a cruel dilemma When all I wanted was to stay inside So I could remember All the cracks and all the holes in your walls I couldn’t bear to try and stare as I walked away The dove flew in without me knowing But it didn’t stay Just passed me by, took to the sky In the blink of an eye Did you look back? Did you look back? Or did I just fade away? Lay on my bed, hands to my chest And watched the dust collecting But I felt my nerves getting worse as I started forgetting I got some air to clear my head But it didn’t clear a thing I called the line so many times More than you would believe Fear settled in, I packed my things And I got up to leave You were just across the road Or so it seemed And as I opened my eyes To my surprise Came through the back, and there you sat With no more life inside you I shook you for what seemed like months before I realised you Couldn’t speak another word They took your soul As I went home I felt your ghost follow close behind me And to this day It’s still always floating right beside me Speaking words you never got to say before Did you look back? Did you look back? Or did I just fade away?

JAFAS 03:42
lyrics

Two weeks, too much for a bigot You’re creating what you’re trying to finish Funny how you ignore the restrictions But you keep saying “Where is my freedom?” You like to think that you feel threatened Whilst in a warp-speed chic bedroom Living like Jordan Belfort Though you didn’t have to make the effort Just another fucking Aucklander Just another fucking Aucklander J-A-F-A J-A-F-A No violence caused this aggression But you use it to back up your shit-fits What will come of this unjust oppression? Sit the fuck down and just fight against it Postcards aren’t our definition And you’ll never really hide what they’re missing Family get shot, you dismiss it Well, that’s not out New Zealand Just another fucking Aucklander Just another fucking Aucklander J-A-F-A J-A-F-A Whatever you say If you’ve got a brain, you might as well try and use it And if the pain is getting in the way Take it down, don’t excuse it As every day is turning into shame Change it before you lose it Whatever you say If you’ve got a brain, you might as well try and use it Just another fucking Aucklander Just another fucking Aucklander J-A-F-A J-A-F-A

Day of the Dead 03:47
lyrics

Look who’s come to stab your back He’s done it many times, and the blade is still red The blade is still red He cuts my arms to size So I can’t ever reach the light And I can feel death I can feel death Look who’s come to stab your back I tried to talk before i found out that my throat was locked And I could feel death I could feel death I pushed my head into a wall Because nothing matters I cut my legs to be too short Because nothing matters See the world through my father’s eyes Because nothing matters Now I am living half a life But it doesn’t matter Look who’s come to stab your back He’s done it many times, and the blade is still red The blade is still red I tried to talk before i found out that my throat was locked And I could feel death I could feel death Look who’s come to stab your back He’s done it many times, and the blade is still red The blade is still red He cuts my arms to size So I can’t ever reach the light And I can feel death I can feel death I pushed my head into a wall Because nothing matters I cut my legs to be too short Because nothing matters See the world through my father’s eyes Because nothing matters Now I am living half a life But it doesn’t matter I wish my feelings weren’t in twos I wish I didn’t have to choose But I gotta look for the cuts in the sky Then I wouldn’t have to hide …What do I say?

Cosmos 05:02
lyrics

Stuck in a fixed position as the world just spins on by Clutching every minute as it withers and then dies You know I’m not the type to cling to something long since gone But it goes on and on and on and on and on I tried to push it further, further back into my mind Till it meant less and less, even before it was alive Plans, they never work, and even when you think you’ve won It still goes on and on and on and on and on Moving inch by inch through every cloud and every storm Then later walking back until the potholes start to form I always come and go, but every time I get back home It still goes on and on and on and on and on I know one day, the love will run dry But it’s alright I’ll see it sinking back into your eyes But it’s alright Change will take the pain out of our lives And it’s alright It’s alright, It’s alright It’s alright, It’s alright I know one day, the love will run dry But it’s alright I’ll see it sinking back into your eyes But it’s alright Change will take the pain out of our lives And it’s alright It’s alright, It’s alright It’s alright, It’s alright I’ll still be stuck In a fixed position as the world just spins on by Clutching every minute as it withers and then dies You know I’m not the type to cling to something long since gone But it goes on and on and on and on and on I tried to push it further, further back into my mind Till it meant less and less, even before it was alive Plans, they never work, and even when you think you’ve won It still goes on and on and on and on and on It goes on and on and on and on and on It goes on and on and on and on and on
