lyrics

Can you hear the silence behind the sound
Can you count the time just not out loud
Do the means exist to slow it down
Fake a smile
Could you love something and not ask why
Will I live once more before I die
Can you honestly never tell a lie
Fake a smile

Could you tell the world it doesn't matter and fuck all day and lie all day
You try so hard but the moneys not there
You suck anyway just die away
Just die away, just die away

Could you live today just to see tomorrow
If I don't wake up don't regret and sorrow
You're an ant and its grand
Fake a Smile
Well you're always living in your final moment
What's the point if you're always alone and
Thinking about your very last breath
Too afraid of pain to embrace your death

Well I'm too strung out to feel my nose
But I know gold because it glows
And when the cops come back to take my shit
I'll be proud because I didn't quit

Trip downstairs and hit my head
Good morning to the waking dead

You're an ant and it's grand
x2
Happiness is on a face
Your soul is louder than saving grace

Run downhill with empty hands and you'll find yourself in a broken land
x2

The Detroit based two piece looped themselves into a spacious soundscape filled with soaring guitars clashing with heavily chopped samples, hard hitting percussion, ambient synth and layered vocal harmonies.

A nightmare of tangled cables and dazzling lights illuminate a performance void of the inhuman laptop automation and sequencing seen far too often today.

Everything you see and hear - we do. ... more
