lyrics

I just found out
A new addiction's got its hold on me
"Every one's worried about me."
Don't bother calling
I'm probably way too high or better yet
Working on my alibi...

My little problem? You can take blame, you invented it
My sickness? Only you spread it.
Highly contagious? Isn't it obvious?
This drug's only expelled, and orally.

It seems you'll say anything, oh what a shame,
All just for drama's sake. You came to shake things up
Sorry, I was busy growing up.

I just found out
And it was only a matter of time
Till this came into the light.
I've been degraded, my honor's been tainted
But I'm happy to be
Your top story

For your entertainment, here's my statement:
"I'm keeping my two cents for a rainy day."
What else can I say?
Yeah, yeah, I'm happy to be
Your top story
Yeah, yeah, such a high priority?
You flatter me.

Wake to break the news
In the wake of breaking news.

Don't mind if I do. Anything at all
To build a bridge and put up a wall.
I believe you'd build a house of cards
Just to watch it fall.
You'd build a house of cards
Just to watch it fall.

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward

The Language Of Injury

On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
