lyrics

You like to give
When you take it away
You stick around so that
Everyone needs you to stay
You used to say
Time was still on our side
You used to sit on the fence
When you don't take my side

If anyone could see you now
The irony would strike you down
With all the debt you had to spend
You couldn't buy yourself a friend
And when you ask these things of me
I find it hard that you can't see
That everyone was on your side
But then you spoiled it all with pride

You got the means to make things right
You got beliefs that get you lost without a spine
And when you let your conscience be
Then you might grace us with your superiority

If anyone could see you now
The irony would strike you down
With all the debt you had to spend
You couldn't buy yourself a friend
And when you ask these things of me
I find it hard that you can't see
That everyone was on your side
But then you spoiled it all with pride

You'd like to live
Others say it's too late
You got no corners to turn
And nothing left to take
Time does it's thing
And for you that's ok
You walk around in a haze
But you think you're engaged.

If anyone could see you now
The irony would strike you down
With all the debt you had to spend
You couldn't buy yourself a friend
And when you ask these things of me
I find it hard that you can't see
That everyone was on your side
But then you spoiled it all with pride

Cash In The Dull Days
by Chinese Burns Unit

supported by 4 fans who also own “Debt”

This is just great, uptempo and to the point with massive hooks. "Purest Vengeance" is particularly doing it for me and it's gonna take some serious dislodging to get it outta my head. Carlos Marrickvillian

The Language Of Injury
by Ithaca

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
