lyrics

I’d forgotten how it felt to remember
The words you said to me
An extended cut played on repeat
Holding out my hands, thinking on my feet

Next time, I’ll get ‘em next time
The broken clock agrees
The morning tastes so fresh and clean
Could I get a written guarantee?

In quiet moments
Deafening loud
Doomed to isolation
Lost in the crowd

I can’t stop
I missed the starting gun
I’m yesterday
After tomorrow’s gone
A spinning compass
Swimming through broken glass tonight

I am a sad song that has been forgotten
A tree branch, crooked and rotten
Eternal war
With no one keeping score
For now
Summer makes an exit stage right
The shivers just mean that I’m alive
Nostalgic echoes can’t help omit
Unwelcome narrative parts and
Their awkward fit

I’m on a psycho-archaeological dig now
Met a skeleton with a matching brush
Cast me in bronze, meet me at the gate
Carve out more thinking time
Believe me, I can wait

The dams, all built with
Papier-mâché fronts
Holding back the flood of
Something I said once

I’m falling
Forgot which way is up
It’s “all relative”?
Or “I’ve just had enough”?
A circular debate where
I’ve got nothing to say again

I’m seeing spirals
Buried in everything
Zen/hellraiser
Just alternating
A faceless man fixated on a plan
Long crumbled into dust
Before he took a look at it

Great album, this band is better than Nickleback but not as good as Ace Of Base. Buy all their music and merch, and go see them live. Can we have a vinyl release of Terminal Boredom please!!?? bovril

Sounds like it's gonna be a brilliant progression from the already amazing beach blanket album. Really hoping this drops in some physical formats to have something tangible to hold when blasting this out at home. Everyone should be buying this album. Mark Lane
