EP Lyrics

So i've been handed some free time on a Friday night. I thought i'd post the lyrics up for the songs that feature on the EP. I don't know about everyone but i find it interesting to know the lyrics for songs before the release.

Plus if you come to see us live you can have a head start in singing along:

In Your Defence

wrap me up in sellotape

i am the gift

ill play a part in this criminal case

just to be safe

they said your name, i heard a cry

it came from the heart

maybe we can talk again

its the price i have to pay

So I'm turning the clocks back

will it be the same

am i re-living my nightmares

frame by frame

i'm carrying it all for you

with my head held high

will i survive

in your defence

stand up, single file

it's just another day

we all live in dark times

i suggest we kneel and pray

so i reach the shoreline

to wash my sins away

is this love yours or mine

i dont think i'm the one to say.

So I'm turning the clocks back

will it be the same

am i re-living my nightmares

frame by frame

i'm carrying it all for you

with my head held high

will i survive

in your defence

Lead By Books, Read By Kings.

these eyes, they stare

into lies

that repent, repent

and stop and think of home

for everyone, has forgotten

more than they know.

We'll build on their prayers

for all to see

we long for repeating dreams

We're not the easy ones to blame

cos' i've built a wall around this place

we're safe, safe

we'll start a new life where

there's (no price to pay)

Stop and heal these worlds

all im trying to say

is they feed their lies

to their prey.

We live in a world

each day the same

we'll tell them

lies, to their face.

cos' i've built a wall around this place

we're safe, safe

we'll start another life where

there's (no price to pay)

We'll suffer for an age

throw me your books

and we'll burn each page.

Traitors

A band of merry men

together through thick and thin

we sharpen our teeth on bone

so let conversation fan the flames

we'll play this game, we'll play

we are liars, breaking oaths sworn

oh save our souls

And so the story goes we'll live each day as traitors

and now we'll talk it out

tell me what you'd like to hear

forgive me for not being sincere

ill trade a life

so you can stay right here

we are liars, breaking oaths sworn

oh save our souls

And so the story goes we'll live each day as traitors

Lock & Key

Be quiet don't make a sound

i heard a voice, dont you see the crowds

they gather ahead

where do the good boys go to dream

holding our hearts under lock and key

And where do the good girls go to dream

sinking ships under lock and key.

I was starting to believe in them

holding out arms, no fear of the wind.

I was starting to believe in them

I'm tired of living my life under lock & key

We are all extremely excited to share this EP with you guys, it's been something we've wanted to do for a while! Come see us play!
