So what i'm going to do is put all the lyrics on here for everyone.
Each post will be a different EP/Single/Split.

Common Grounds 7"
1. Common Grounds
2. Capital Youth

Common Grounds
Community in common grounds
Lost in the midst of an aging crowd
The dream is a dream aloud
Or just a mental illness dreamt of and then sold
And despite which way this conscience sways
I'm finding it hard to stop or switch pace
Community in common grounds
Have you ever stepped inside yourself
To see the truth is a dream aloud
And there is no telling what is wrong with us
And to all that's wrong with us...

Come play
Desperation as it comes in waves
Stay away as if it means everything

Never leave this unaware
We should love at all, the love of life will never dare
The ground it splits right open and I see hell
Crime is heavily on your side
Time to be truly victimized
So never leave this unaware
As in the place we'd never thought we'd leave
Or feel the need to share
And i'll often wonder what you see in me
But anyway, you know the way I feel

Come play
Desperation as it comes in waves
Stay away as if it has everything to do
With anything but you

Community in common grounds


Capital Youth
Standing on a balcony
At one with the concrete beneath me
I know nothing of the night
Blistering under a cruel light
Shone down through cracks in the skyline
As I speak circles to you

Look at all the moral sin
Aren't you sick of taking everything by numbers
Taking everything with force
Look at the way they pushed us in
Tell me you're not sick of your own skin by now
And well, I'm lost for words

Dragging knives from borrowed backs
To see what really holds us back
From truth, trust and respect
Oh underground, keep me from seeing
The sights that set my eyes bleeding
And I owe everything to you

Look at the way they pushed us in
Tell me you're not sick of your own skin by now
And well, now i'm lost for words

And even if we don't pull through
I'll overcome
I'll send my thoughts to you

Sharks/Northern Towns Split 7"
1. Mirrors Within Mirrors
2. Museums
3. Brassneck (The Wedding Present cover)

Mirrors Within Mirrors
The night is painting the streets colours you don't want to see.
If I close my eyes for one more night, maybe I could have kept it all inside.
Maybe next time I think that I should stay away from the white light that burns down from the hole in the sky

And I'll go to the place where the sun don't mean shit to the ones who've never walked these honest streets.
And i've seen mirrors within mirrors and they don't reflect a single thing anymore.

The night is falling down on; wiping smiles off cold faces
You'll no longer have to eat the dirt from the hand of kind words.

And I'll go to the place where the sun don't mean shit to the ones who've never walked these honest streets.
And i've seen mirrors within mirrors and they don't mean a single thing anymore.



Museums
These years aren't long enough to drag out the past.
These ears aren't strong enough to drag this fucking anchor.
Meanwhile, a train passes through the empty holes of your lungs and fills what's left with smoke and blackened track marks.

So we hide in museums and wait for the sky to fall.

Down the motion and watch it drift into the ocean.
Now the night never ends in this room anymore.
Meanwhile, a thorn drives through the sides of your time and tears straight through these metaphors and into what I really need to say.

So we hide in museums and wait for the sky to fall and finish us all.

Show Of Hands EP

2. It All Relates
3. Three Houses
4. More Blue
5. Glove In Hand


Trains

How pathetic this must sound to a hope of finally getting out
How pathetic this must sound to someone who doesn't even know he's bored of this town
Try to make sense of what happens next and in the meantime I could have stolen a fucking car
Eyes wide on the heavy plight of the city alight. Beam down on the knife that burns bright
Lost all the fire to the church's ill arcade. Don't believe me when I say i'm not afraid
Another night arrives, slice open your eyes. I used to waste my time dreaming in-between lies
How pathetic this must sound to a hope of finally getting out
How pathetic this must sound to someone who doesn't even know he's bored of this town
Try to make sense of what happens next, I'll wait bored on settled ground
Try to make sense of what happens next and in the meantime I could have stolen a fucking car


It All Relates
Thrown into the wind of the drawn out last breath
We don't waste, we charge straight into death with the risk of never taking it to the end
So proffer something new, I'm willing to learn. Never allow yourself to forget to burn, against and through the darkness
We'd steal, but not to break common trade, but for desire to create
To give back what we took in and watch it bloom from the beginning again
I've never liked my voice anyways, and rock 'n' roll needs tragedy
So if these bones collide well at least we tried and besides, I could do with some daylight
Christ we're dangled in the sights of nihilist ways. Exhausted from sleeping for days
The body gives up but the mind remains, it all relates
So proffer something new, I'm willing to burn. Never allow yourself to forget to run, against and through the darkness
And i'm looking at my artificial desire, guaranteed misery and a heart on fire
But down the bittersweet sensibility and see what is left for you and me


Three Houses
Three houses set in stone
I am bored to the fucking bone of everything I once counted on, something I hold close
Maybe kids reap death from hybrids of former evenly spread eyelids, asking cautiously at their predictions
Travels underground make time for other things, including dust settling shackles to be broken free
Travels over time show my head other things. Forgetting dust settling shackles; to be broken free, I'd give my days
And something out of all this mess clears my congested chest of any remedial purpose or perception
And maybe ears go deaf from silence, maybe eyes go blind from staring at the sky too long
(Not as long as it takes to show) But as long as...


More Blue
You were overlooking the seafront, an open bridge. I asked of another in wonder, as a token of guilt
And as we drift across the asphalt, overlapping the lines in the road
I remember a thought in soft focus for the last time, I know... or don't
A mental image, a picture painting for you. A wrath of primary colours, only more blue
A mirror image, a home waiting for you. If only I actually had something to do
I was overlooking the city, a foreign windowsill. I'd never seen our hole from that angle before, but still
We're drifting across the asphalt, overlapping the lines in the road
Remembering thoughts in soft focus, intact with what we know, or don't
After all, it's the least I could do in return for growing up
I think I'd rather a small, white lie, than the crippling truth


Glove In Hand
Stepped outside from feeling ill at ease. Breathed in air wild roses feed at nature's putridity
I can't believe I'm jailed in neighbourhood. I can't believe I lived to stomach it
Bring him in, shield his eyes. Shy away from all street crime
Thought not what was truly mine, four pretty ears and two dull knives
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
Crawled back home from being stabbed three times. Chose with care exactly where to lay and die
Glove in hand, coat on wall, sadness in the breath of every call
We're taking too long to make this shard of entrust break
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate
In old, I engage to take on every passing day with true hate

3. It Threatens
4. Bury Your Youth
5. The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Is Hell


Yours To Fear
Time has struck us down, kept us from interest once more
For the intentions we made, now intentions once pure
Pry your mind from the fall and rise to see again
But still, take your ears, they're only yours to fear
Do with them what you will
I insinuated a purpose I could have kept to myself, before it was too late to start considering anything else


Fallen On Deaf Ears
I look for the sky to save me, it's not for my bleeding eyes to see
I dragged them through the darkness until the sun soaked up the sea
And I am reminded that the things I put myself though are the choices I chose to make
Sirens call from another state of mind
Thirty thousand miles away
And to think that I could overcome the hope within me, within you, within me, within you
And to think that I could have undone this unfocused fear within you, within me
No regrets for the things that never happened
You told us you'd leave forever, no heart of mine is in this place
I'll stay here, watching from my third floor window with an inevitably empty smile stuck on my face


It Threatens
Someone take these eyes
Put them in a box with the rest of what the night has to offer me
Offer me restless waves, for I don't need them here, set them free
I need relief, but skin wrapping knives doesn't appeal to me
This will continue through the darkness
At least that's what it threatens
Besides, what's the sun good for when clocks only make it worse
In a place where time is worthless then I'm looking too deep inside.
And the morning laughs in my face like the pain in my head repeating
The rest won't come but I need it more than anything that will take this off my mind, so when I close my eyes I sleep
Someone take these hands that write these words for any other reason but for the purpose of the song and meaning that is past on through my desperate lungs
I need a release, but the blades in the throat aren't doing me any favours
So save us, and show me another door that isn't the same on the other side
Besides, what are dreams good for when your feet aren't even on the floor
And in a place where time is worthless then I'm looking too deep inside
And if I look to deep inside, I'll just get afraid of what I may never find


Bury Your Youth
Bloodshot eyes from hopeless nights (yeah) I curse the sky for the morning sunrise
She turned and stopped and said to bury your youth in the sand
People worry, someone tell me what the rush is for
I feel anxious just waiting for it to strike again
Same as before, only searching forever more positivity
But I look in the mirror and all I see is a figure looking back at me
Since when did this begin
Now it haunts time and time again
Now all the time that I spent laughing off all the thoughts that came back crawling
Somewhere along the line I must have missed the joke
All my friends, they shadow my lie and yeah, the anxiety pumps through my blood just like it did the very first time
Same as before, only searching forever more positivity
But I look in the mirror and all I see is a figure looking back at me
Do what you can
Can you love
Can you understand possibility
Since when did this end
Now it haunts time and time again


The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Is Hell
There is a light that burns near here
It's laced with hate and fueled with fear
At night it hangs over this town
Millions will choose to ignore the sound
Now the path we choose to take is nothing but the breath I waste
Nothing for us to do but keep on digging this hole for ourselves
Until our very souls will burn in hell
There's a sun that burns far from here
It's taken for granted yet fuels us with fear
All night it betrays this town
Someone, somewhere will let this take them down
And there, they will hear the sound
Now the path we choose to take is nothing but the breath I waste
Nothing for us to do but keep on digging this hole for ourselves
Until our very souls will burn deep beyond the gates of no return

Sweet Harness
Burning the bridge at both ends.
I'm drinking out of a glass half full of sweet harness.
Turning the cheek with sick teeth.
Sucking me dry with apathy and sorry, but I can't hear them.
White light mouth pouring with a white heat.
Resembling a white moon silver surfacing a black sea, sailing only me.
Burning up time with nine lives.
I feel obliged to bide and rot and rule.
Keeping the sun down, keeping it cool.
Easy chemistry, only me.
Easy chemistry, lonely me.
Easy chemistry, positively correcting me when all I need is in concrete, crookedly.
Eyes climb up and down you, with the white heat sinking in two.
White eyes when I'm sleeping.
White heat sailing only me.


The Joys Of Living
You took advice from a stranger in a stereo.
You follow your heart, you break a heart, but please don't feel you have to.
Time is ours to kill once we find the joys of living the lives we were born to live in.
A division of the heart and mind.
Left dry of explanation, drifting between distance and a lie.
And all of a sudden you begin to realise that there are often several different angles to certain things in life.
The temptations of another way will be forced upon themselves, they hear out.
The disfigure of a past age will not be tamed, I hear out.
And I chose to deal with it through a self-centred perspective.
It's the easiest way but believe me, it's for the best.
Sometimes I feel I'm not trying hard enough; sometimes I try too hard.
And all of a sudden I begin to realise that all along there was someone in there, someone else I could have saved.

Arcane Effigies

And it's a sweet sickness surfing my soul
I watch the dogs at night from my window
They howl a loss of control, as do my habits
I'm taking extra classes in new politics

Hey rudy rudy, shy cynic to be
The sun is shining down on our arcane effigies

And I'm a cold partial to translocation
I live in a town with no acclamation for community
And hapless sick lay on doorsteps of beauty
And the privileged are unhappy

Hey rudy rudy, shy cynic to be
The sun is shining down on our arcane effigies
Hey rudy rudy, stop shadowing me
The sun us shining down on our arcane effigies
