lyrics

You can try but you never deceive me
You just climb for the upper ground
It's only fair when you say you don't believe me
But it's been years since you burned your crown

There was something that you said that day
They weren't listening to you anyway

Declare to me there ain't a prayer for me
But you don't ever tell me why
Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see
But you don't never tell a lie

Looking round for a benign emotion
They're lining up just to see you fall
Try to hide but the wheels was in motion
You leave them smiling and you made the call

There was something that you said that day
They weren't listening to you anyway

You declare to me there ain't a prayer for me
But you don't ever tell me why
Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see
But you don't never tell a lie

Talk it up and get shut down
The sideline folk will watch you drown
You take back what you say
Like it never got played
And then you deny everything

You declare to me there ain't a prayer for me
But you don't ever tell me why
Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see
But you don't never tell a lie

Cash In The Dull Days

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
