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
