I've given up Cos I'm sick of trying to do my best I just want to live But the doctor me I'm depressed Now It's 6am, I’ve not slept in days So tired but there’s no stopping my brain Try again but it's all just the same So I toss and turn until I go insane Cos I’ve Ran out of luck, food and tobacco I don't get paid for another two weeks Life's so boring and hard to tackle Something to say but I don’t speak Always anti this always anti that Always been a bit of a fucking twat Now I’m getting older, where's the fun in that? I’m not popular but at least I'm not that fat, anymore I just hate everything like you
2.
When I got in the other day I noticed something wrong with me I looked around and couldn’t think Whitey in the sink Wishing I was in the know Should’ve listened not to go Paying for ma night right now Praying that ma brain slows down I said I wouldn’t but I did And I fuckin liked it till I thought that I was dead Trapped there in my head All my happiness disappeared in front of me I began to fuck with me Think that I should try sobriety I still drink tho I just want to enjoy myself Without feeling too sober So I get drunk And I smoke a joint Maybe 17 I’m just relaxing with some THC I know you’ll never stop I’m on the same boat too But I don’t want to kill myself Maybe you do I used to be cool just like you

Safety 01:56
Programmed to hold it in I can’t tell anyone Hanging on has been so hard ever since I came undone Fists are tight, I walk and tell myself that I’m alright But I’m screaming in my head “I think I’m done” It’s been said that people worry so I just shut them out I can’t adhere to my own advice No one else is ruining my life Someone told me years ago about a place for losers and I’ll go if I want to live like this So I guess I’ll have to go cos I live like this My safety ends with me
4.
You’re irrelevant cos I’m alone and living on my own I’ve found a place inside my head I know I can call home And it’s one person at a time now So go away So away you go And I just sit here in awe When you’re gone So go away So away you go So I can sit here in awe when you’re gone I know it’s been a while Since you last tried to invade But since I’ve fortified You haven’t tried And I do respect the space but I can’t help but feel you watch me When you go away, the memory of you can’t stay with me
5.
Decompose all day 23 and wasting away Am pretty sure I tried But ma motivation died What Else Can I Say? Ma brain function Seems to be depleting And I’m so defeated I hope tomorrow doesn’t come I’m feeling sorry for myself I keep avoiding getting help Nobody by my side Everybody’s getting wide So I’ll take myself somewhere else I’ve stopped praying for the day I’ll get up and walk away, Sort my head so every aspect of ma life can be in tune What else can I do? And what else Can I Say?

We were standing at the bus stops in Clydebank You were crying in my arms We were breaking up But I meant you no harm Something told me you might understand But you were wishing on a speeding car to crash into the bus so I couldn’t go too far You stood and swayed back and forth till I got dizzy You cried you missed me so I had to walk away Cos we’re not seventeen It matters when we make a scene And I can’t be seen to be this way I watched your mascara fade away The words got drowned in all your tears You began to cry The saddest I had seen you in 5 years Didn’t have to stay But you held onto me because the fear that our love had died was screaming in your ears Some things just aren’t meant to be And we’re no exception So my reaction is justified today Cos I heard you moved on And I’m still on my own, so It’s been a while and I can say It’s like I never loved you It’s like you never loved me either Now I feel sick when we’re together And I cannae wait To find someone else To love and to hate And the same for yourself So I can begin to move on without you Controlling my brain And driving me insane As time goes by it gets easier N I’ve stopped wishing you were here There one sec then I’m gone You watched me disappear N that’s the last you’ll see of me On the 1A home

7 years now They say it gets much easier with time But all I seem to find is it's gets harder every day I still can't say goodbye All it does is make me cry But you're beside me every time I close my eyes Your long orange hair Say your skin is pale but I don't care You're beautiful to me I’d love to hold your hand But you’ve set yourself free And I miss you I miss you Megan I'm pretty sure you'd laugh You'd just think I was daft Take me in your arms and tell me it's okay But I still tear up each night And there's no point in trying to fight it I miss you more and more each day You'll never go away Keep you in my heart and that's where you can stay Call me stupid, call me anything But you still give me reason to sing That’ll never change I miss you I miss you Megan

about

This has been a long long time coming. Recording started in 1948 and ended just after the year 2121 in the outer realm. It has taken over a millennia to mix and master and the internet hasn't even been invented yet!

In all seriousness, the EP is about looking at yourself through the eyes of yourself, by myself, for myself. There's songs about love, hate, suicide and drugs. They're loud, they're over in under two minutes mostly and I can't sing good anymore because I'm old and smoke 20 a day. So if that's your thing then you're in for a fucking treat.

It did take a while to record and it's been long overdue but we're very happy to finally release it.
