Well, it was nice to meet you
But it was such a displeasure to know you
All that you do, you do blindly without your guilt
And I can't help but feel scared as you hurt me
I can't be the same
I can’t be the same
I can’t be the same
I can’t be the same
There are traces of you in the smiles of faces I once wanted to know
You still seek me out beneath sheets, in homes, with friends, in the road
But I should have known better than to let someone like you
Burrow into me like a tick and suck out all that’s good
But you’ve brought joy into the lives of others
You’ve brought joy into the lives of others
They stand together now
With disbelief set in their brow
As you break the rules
That should not be broken
And they’ll leave you to do
To do what you need
So they too can enjoy
This perfumed sense of peace
Oh it’s hard to believe
How little I must mean
When you spent years, years
Cutting at my seams
I can’t be the same
I can’t be the same
I can’t be the same
I can’t be the same
But I am not built, no I am not built
To harbour your pain, to harbour my pain
When there is nothing, when there is no change
You have broken homes inside of my brain

What can you do?
They’ll just say no.
I know you know the truth.
What can you say?
It’s not for you.
But then they’ll turn it into.
I can’t seem to change these things that hurt.
But with no answers to my questions, I can’t seem to learn.
Anything you say, anything you do,
It could come back and haunt you.
So don’t you breathe a word, it could make it worse.
Think of something other than yourself.
You’re so obsessed, with what they do.
But it’s what they do.
Look what it’s done to you.
Get out of here,
Get out.
What did you expect to find here?
Something worthwhile?
A truth? A meaning? A reason?
Stop looking.

I Don't Want To Do This
03:22

I am shaped by the way that you use your body.
I am moved by the way, that you talk and shift.
The twitch of an eye, the shuffling of hands,
They fall from you, as half-made plans.
I am shaped by the way that you use your body,
Am I ashamed to confess its control over me?
Do I want to do this?
Do I want to do this?
I don’t want to do this.
I don’t want to do this.
She's tucking in the sheets,
With tears in her eyes -
I think it will be fine this time.
But sometime soon, I'll surely crack,
This weight, this urge will break my back.
And with that crack, my bones will splinter
And pierce two hearts that hoped for better.

Man At A Train Station

What did they say?
What did they say for you to be this way?
You're choking up,
You're choking up, you're
Oo
What did you say?
What did you say to make them do these things?
Keep it at bay,
Don’t say their names, their
Oo
What could you say?
What could you say?
You tried hard to explain.
They cut your tongue and pulled the words out.
What will you say?
What will you,
Before they get away?
You're growing up,
You're giving up, you're,
oo
What will you say?
What will you say when they come with their questions?
Don't mess this up, you'll get one shot.
When all is said and all is done,
You were right, I care too much.
With all you said and all you’ve done
I’ve lost my friends oh God, you’ve won.

Let Me Sleep
04:50

When will I find a pattern to follow?
Sleepless nights have left me feeling hollow.
I come to it with my eyes closed,
But in this half-sleep I am not alone.
Your hand’s in my hair as I surface from the reservoir.
There’s water in my mouth when what I need is air.
And she’s behind you, the girl who once loved.
She’s watching us both, but she won’t move a muscle.
You push a little harder, I tense but stay down.
I know in this moment the current will win.
You come, you go.
You come, you go.
Other faces, older places. Other faces, older places.
Other faces, older places. Other faces, older places.
Other places, older faces.

Time To Go

I know you will, I know you will.
I know you’ll make the same mistakes again.
I know you will.
I wish I could stop letting this all in.
I know you will.
Ah.
I know you will.
Ah.
Heavens now, hold me closer in all my doubt.
Pull me up from the underground.
Let this not be the choice I make, the choice I make.

Sober

There's a lot to nowhere,
Oh is anybody sober?
We’ve been pushed along by our flaws.
There's a lot to know here,
Oh is anybody all there?
Even if we thought we could hide it.
Hide, hide.
Is it hard to know when,
To give anybody your head,
Now you know how to lie?
Why would anyone speak,
If they knew they could be hurt?
Oh it's safer to be sorry.

Silent Now

I’m awfully uncomfortable right now.
You left me with no voice at all, no way out.
I waited for your hand, I waited for your help.
But you let it slip away and kept it for yourself.
You closed your eyes and you turned to your side.
You closed your eyes and you turned to your side.
So close your eyes and turn to your side.
Close your eyes and turn to your side.
I’m awfully uncomfortable right now,
You acted as I thought you would,
Please just let me out.
I waited for a hand,
I needed you to care.
But you let us slip away
And made us look like fools.
You closed your eyes and you turned to your side.
You closed your eyes and you turned to your side.
So close your eyes and turn to your side.
Close your eyes and turn to your side.
Ah, ah.
In all that I have found and all that I have lost,
There's more to me than just this cost.
In all that I have found and all that I have lost,
There's more to me than just this cost.
Are you still pulled by nothing?
Are you still pulled by nothing?
Cause I’m still pulled by nothing.
Oh I’m still pulled by nothing.

Rock is nowhere near my favorite genre, but every once in a while I find an amazing exception. This record has such a unique sound and I'm in love with it. Extremely excited for the next release.

Surfgazing
by The Double Happiness
supported by 24 fans who also own “Shark”
An endless skyline of dusky golden light over Moreton Bay that's where this record lives. I always admire when bands can work imagery of their city into songs. This is especially nice when it comes to the areas in and around Meanjin, a place we hear far too little of.
