about

Written on the floor of the Balhousie.
Recorded in an old, freezing warehouse.
Performed wherever you can find us.

lyrics

So uncharacteristic, her stomach has turned
Knows he can't jump from the bridge that she burned
Sit beside and observe the reaction,
This violent and moving heart's a distraction.

(Chorus)
And I look back and you're not there
You disappeared right into thin air
And a piece of you was left behind
You're a girl who's out of my mind

You don't set what can't be broken
You're not you, you're in sanity's curve
You won't get what you think you deserve.
Ignite the old spark and watch it burn
Stand your ground, don't be concerned
Plucked and violently thrown on the bed
See in her eyes, she wishes she was dead
It must have been something he said

(Chorus)

How I wish you were here again
A feeling perpetuates
Warmed by your own embrace
The tears roll down your face
As you slump and then break

This isn't fair
(Chorus)
