Gravity Lyrics by Josh Mitchell Written by yoshitoro I can’t see you looking back I can see you looking at I can’t see you looking back I can see you looking at Rolling on, folds and curses I can’t see you looking back Stepping incompetence I can’t recall this simple trap Leaking out, keep you mouth shut Keep us there, we’re bound to fake it And you can be fielding off attraction And you can be sliding in slow motion Walking through the stables Wondering if we’re able And we can be shielding our emotion And we can be scalding our connection Reaching for our babel Wondering if we’re able To see Is this all we can be Gravity Reminds us of our frailty Vanity Emotional delinquency

Rachel Lyrics by Josh Mitchell Written by yoshitoro Awoken again, myopic explosion She asked if she can be released, again This blinding embrace Collects and emboldens If only they’d made me just like you Monotony breaks but nothing replaces This fluoro-static stare Bounded and braced, in uniform faces Just wait, relax, we’re safe in here And Rachel’s still screaming It’s over, we’re over, she told me but I don’t know who I can believe And Rachel’s still screaming It’s over, I’m under, we’re drowning but If I close my eyes I’m not me And Rachel’s still screaming It’s over, we’re under, she told me but I’m not sure if I can see me In guileless sincerity They’re coming towards me They’re marching as if they care Inactive conjecture, entrapment enclosure Get down amongst the skiving Someone’s somewhere I’d jump if they’d let me From this teeter-board comforter The edge can be barley Just listen, just listen Open up to me, your guileless sincerity Let’s rip this apart leave them choking We’re choking

Chomping at the Bit Lyrics by Adam Jackson Written by yoshitoro Look straight ahead Blinkers are on Shoes are nailed Ready to... You can run but you can't... I can run but I can't... Lick my scars They say it becomes me They say it's becoming They say I'm becoming They're coming to... They say it's important to... They say I'm important to... Go for the soft underside My claws are sharp My teeth are wide There's space to hide There's doubt inside But my claws are sharp My teeth are wide Bite down They say we're all in this to... They say I'm all in this to.. Push forward Self inflicted tunnel vision, I see you It has to be doneAnd if it has to be done... Then it's a dirty job But someone's got to matter They say that we matter They say we're all matter What they say doesn't matter

Chomping at the Bit Lyrics by Adam Jackson Written by yoshitoro Open eyed Back against the wall Sanctified It’s written can be sure Self-fascination So sure we really care Verbal masturbation Prescribes just what I Need to feel Somehow, somewhere The sun is rising Perhaps this time We’ll look away I don’t need you We don’t need you This raft is built from sticks and stones Apathetic, convalescent Thank Christ we brought an antidote I don’t need you We don’t need you I don’t need you Empty lies Rapid lips distract from absent Deadened eyes Cynically prescribe Smug evangelist This Cheshire grin is fuelled by ego Hold the floodgates in These bitter waves can’t cleanse this furrow

Summer Song Lyrics by Josh Mitchell Written by yoshitoro There was nothing We couldn’t leap over Loving nonchalance Would crown our endeavours Let’s anchor here This summer we’re perfect Safe from distraction And open to anything I remember Just here We were something better Nothing has changed but everything These footprints show our distance This miasma settling Fragrant hypocrisy Nothing has changed but everything Cut too deep I’m ordinary I still missed you tonight I recall how the moon lit your eyes Leaning backwards Trying to catch the light Hoping somehow We could end alright But dawn is breaking
It’s time for fight or flight I remember Just here We were something better
