Arm's Length

Some great predictors playing with your cards
Pushing you forwards, twisting your arm
Trying to convince you that holding what you want
Over what you need is keeping you apart
From who you want to be
You've been driving in the dark
Too long to be aware of where you are
In your shame you take shape as you are
Life from an arms length away
Running mental fingers over mental knots
Forced into words, organized and stopped
You've been driving in the dark
Too long to be aware of where you are
In your shame you take shape as you are
Life from an arms length away
Holding what you want
Over what you need
Holding being part
Over being free
Knowing who you are
And who you want to be

Everything I Know

Pretty pretty please leave
These cocaine clenched teeth
In the city
I refuse to control you
But this is not the you that I'm used to
Consuming that which wishes to consume you
A shitty shitty week
Conceives a weekend of debauchery
A weekend turns into a week and then in to routine
I refuse to control you
But this is not the you that I'm used to
Consuming that which wishes to consume you
I cut it close to feel alive
To feel something human flinch inside
I breathe in deep and tense my thighs
This building's edge is mighty high
And everything I know defines everything I don't
Everything I know defines everything I don't

Sit on Your Hands
02:55

Come to in a moment
I was nowhere now I'm here
Assigning names cannot control this
Minutes, days, months and years
Sliding through my grasp
Feeling time collapse
Seven months when I look back
Sit on your hands
Let time move past
No need to react
Through the grooves of class
We're shuffled along
Pull my strings and watch me dance
Just let me pick the song
Sliding through my grasp
Feeling time collapse
Seven years when I look back
Sit on your hands
Let time move past
No need to react
The email's a script
The office a stage
Do the costumes constrict
Blood to the brain
Does it help you convince
People to trade
A third of their days
A third of their lives for unlivable pay
Here and gone years are short, seconds long
Here and gone years are short, seconds long

Drunk in the Dark

Step out for that breath
Or whatever else your friends will accept
Now you're drunk in the dark
Smoking the wrong end of a cigarette
Speaking in witty remarks
That no one really gets
Through despair's gentle blur
You watch the world as it turns
Alone in your room
Rotate away these afternoons
Until someone's in one with you
Do you believe in love you are made new
Pretend to get that text
That we both know no one really sent
Now you're drunk in the dark
Smoking the wrong end of a cigarette
Speaking in witty remarks
That no one really gets
Through despair's gentle blur
You watch the world as it turns
Alone in your room
Rotate away these afternoons
Until someone's in one with you
Do you believe in love you are made new
Do you believe that love will change you
Do you believe that love will save you

The Way It Ends
04:10

Spend your time somewhere else
Not your life, not yourself
Waste today, waiting out
Some new way, some new out
Do you feel right under your skin
Can you afford to begin again
Let it out or hold it in
Doesn't change the way it ends now
Rest your eyes at red lights three seconds at a time
So the mornings pay for the nights
As our deaths pay for our lives
Do you feel right under your skin
Can you afford to begin again
Let it out or hold it in
Doesn't change the way it ends now
Absence of fear of death in the company of someone else
Drunk rotations in a stranger's house
Do you feel right under your skin
(Do you feel right under your skin)
Can you afford to begin again
(Can you afford to begin again)
Let it out or hold it in
(Let it out or hold it in)
Doesn't change the way it ends now
(Doesn't change the way it ends)
The way it ends
(Doesn't change the way it ends)
The way it ends
(Doesn't change the way it ends)
The way it ends
(Doesn't change the way it ends)
The way it ends
(Doesn't change the way it ends)

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff
