Lyrics:
I never asked for this burden
I never asked for this cross that I bear on my back
But like an ulcer scratching against my tongue
I can’t leave it alone
So you can find me down at the bottom
With a stomach full of stones
I can’t outrun my fate, it follows like a shadow
I put all of my faith in a saint without a halo
But I won’t die pretending I’m not intending
To see this through until I too become invisible to you
So pull me under, be sure to leave no trace
Never wonder, I see it on your face
What do I have to do to demonstrate
The way it makes me feel and think?
I feel like I could fucking suffocate
And you would barely blink
I could suffocate and you would barely blink
So I’ll sink, searching for an answer
With a stomach full of stones
These thoughts are like a cancer
Growing in my bones
I’ve made this hell my home
Never again, sever the sin from within my soul
The darker half that makes me whole
I was only dreaming
I was never here
I was only dreaming
Of how I’ll disappear
I can’t outrun my fate, it follows like a shadow
I put all of my faith in a saint without a halo
But I won’t die pretending I’m not intending
To see this through until I too become invisible to you
(I was only dreaming)
Invisible to you
(I was never here)
But I won’t die pretending
I’m not intending to see this through
Until I too become invisible to you
I long to leave the past behind
And tear out the thorn that’s in my side

Overflow is the third single from our third LP ‘FATALISM’, out now via Resist/Sharptone.
Listen to FATALISM: https://bfan.link/fatalism
LYRICS:
I’ve been lost, alone in a crowd
Can’t remember when the silence got so loud
We believe, but what do we know?
All the things we bottle up
Will one day start to overflow
Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this”
We took a chance, a shot in the dark
Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart
I thought I had everything that meant something to me
I wasn’t ready to face what I want, what I need
Now I need to escape
The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait
I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins
The antidote is just the poison by another name
Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this
‘Cause it’s more than I can take”
The earth is spinning much too fast for me
The air is thick and it makes me sick to breathe
I never had the clarity of mind
To recognise that time was never on my side
(I am not what I think, I am not what I feel)
I’m addicted, afflicted and I’m dying to heal, I said
I lost years to future fears
(This can’t happen again, it cannot happen again)
Now I’m fearing the worst
I’ll break my habits if they don’t break me first
But still I just can’t seem to catch my breath
And the things I love, I hold so tight
I strangle them to death
Where do I shelter when it’s raining inside?
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
I don’t bend, I break, I can’t go on this way
It kills to hear you say
“I can’t stand to see you like this
‘Cause it’s more than I can take”

Nightmare is the second single from our third LP ‘FATALISM’, out now via Resist/Sharptone.
Listen to FATALISM: https://bfan.link/fatalism
LYRICS:
I saw the signs
The signal fires that burned atop the hill
Rising tides and violent skies
All the while the world was standing still
Defenceless as a rat in a cage
Living with our backs to the wall
From the minute we wake
Too sedated to notice
We’re living in a nightmare
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
Is there no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves?
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
What does it mean to be a captive
In the confines of your mind?
What does it mean to be a hostage
To the enemy inside?
We’ve been here before
I guess we learned nothing
The signs were all but ignored
The planets collide as we all stop and stare
Too jaded to notice
We’re living in a nightmare
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
Is there no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves?
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
I see their shadows dance on the walls
As voices echo in empty halls
It makes my stomach sink
As I close my eyes and beg for sleep
Chaos kills the calm
Fingers through my palms
I can’t make it stop
Somebody kick the chair and fucking wake me up
Spare your thoughts and prayers
They’ll never be enough
It only tightens the noose
The more we struggle to cut ourselves loose
Every cry rings out like a shot
The streets run red as the forests wither and rot
Declaring with their final breath
Eternal fear is a fate worse than death
But no one’s gonna save us
If we won’t fucking save ourselves
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
We’re living in a nightmare
(Never again will we sleep)
A pre-apocalyptic wasteland
(Until we are weary and weak)
And there’s no one who can save us
If we refuse to save ourselves
Our best intentions pave our path to hell
And you will see me there when they tighten the noose
I deserve this just like the rest of you

Listen to FATALISM: https://bfan.link/fatalism
LYRICS:
Like a deer in the headlights, I’m barely alive
Lost in the ether, cutting my teeth on
Whatever it takes to survive
Suffer; everyone’s a victim
Cover your callous indifference
Deaf are we who refuse to listen
I need a shock to the system
Fall short in your breathing
Eyes wide, stare at the ceiling
No fear and no feeling
I’ve seen enough and it’s left me numb
One more for the reaper, he’s been hot on my tail
But I’ve been trying to dig a little deeper
Cos the pain don’t feel like it used to feel, no
I’ve seen enough, I crave the rush
So I’ll dig a little deeper still
Such a tragic affair
All the souls still doomed to meet their end
Clasping their hands in a prayer
To gods deaf to their cries
To live and die as another statistic
Oh, doesn’t that sound sadistic?
One more for the reaper, he’s been hot on my tail
But I’ve been trying to dig a little deeper
Cos the pain don’t feel like it used to feel, no
I’ve seen enough, I crave the rush
So I’ll dig a little deeper still
Callous and cold, inhumane, we drop the deadweight
(Side effects are to be expected
We grow detached and disconnected)
Callous and cold, inhumane, we drop the deadweight
Can’t bear to look away
Count every name you erase like a bloodstain
Who do you mourn when everyone’s a victim?
(I don’t need to know)
No sympathy, don’t sing for me
Give me a shock to the system
In the end we return to nothing
What’s another nail in the coffin?
Fall short in your breathing
Eyes wide, stare at the ceiling
No fear and no feeling
It’s left me numb
One more for the reaper, he’s been hot on my tail
But I’ve been trying to dig a little deeper
Cos the pain don’t feel like it used to feel, no
I’ve seen enough, I crave the rush
So I’ll dig a little deeper
A little deeper still

LYRICS:
Between the waves, they break like glass
Pastel skies that turn to grey,
In whispers they ask:
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
Were you ever listening?
Tear away all the pieces left worth saving
I'm a ghost, I'm a broken entity
This is all I have from a life spent wishing, waiting
And I won't let go if you beg me to
Strain till you're barely breathing
Pain just to give it meaning
The blood we shed for these hollow endeavours
What is it worth if no one remembers?
If there's anybody out there
If there's anybody out there
They were never listening
Tear away all the pieces left worth saving
I'm a ghost, I'm a broken entity
This is all I have from a life spent wishing, waiting
And I won't let go if you beg me to
Frail hands worked to the bone
No chance to buy back the life that we sold
Freedom, false as your hope
Each will suffer the same
Our own rapture, our own judgement day
To no end we will burn, if we turn away
Turn away, 'cause you're far too late to save me
I'm just a shell of the man I used to be
This is all I have from a life spent wishing, waiting
And I won't let go if you beg me to
What is it worth if no one remembers?

LYRICS:
I have lived and died to know that all we love we leave behind
These undertakings take us far from familiar and comfortable things
How much can one heart bear before it tears at the seams?
Is this not all we thought it would be?
Find your peace in a place unknown
And see the world in shades of monochrome
You don't have to walk alone
To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like home
Show me your skin, show me the fear inside your bones
'Cause I've seen a darker side of man than you will ever know
When my lungs refuse to breathe, will you replenish the air in me?
When my eyes refuse to see what is standing in front of me
Find your peace in a place unknown
And see the world in shades of monochrome
You don't have to walk alone
To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like home
The streetlights sing me to sleep
The company that I keep,
And all that keeps me sane and whole,
Will be the death of me
Get me out of here
Lend me your ear, I'll tell you what you need to know
You'll learn to breathe when life has got its hands around your throat
There was a time, there was a place where I could say
That I was unafraid of what this meant to me
Find your peace in a place unknown
And see the world in shades of monochrome
You don't have to walk alone
To know what it feels like when nowhere feels like home

LYRICS
This is a fall from grace
Can’t bear the aftertaste
As you swallow all your pride,
Are you satisfied?
Every day, like a broken record
Every night is a pointless prayer for change
No reprieve; No peace, no release for your middle class rage
Everybody wants to sell you something
Everybody wants a piece of your mind
Bite your tongue and let the crowd speak for you
Head like a hole and a heart like a landmine
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that we end up this way?
(Hey, hey) Born with a crisis of identity
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that this happens all the time?
Got a head like a hole and a heart like a landmine
Time hits like a freight train
No paycheck can pay back the lost years spent ruminating
Just pain to be gained from your common sense fears
Everybody’s wasting away here
Watch us bloom and decay
Cast to the side
No one heard you choking as you swallowed your pride
You say you’re happy, but are you satisfied?
No restitution, until you understand
This world that left you cold
Will feed you shit ‘til you bite the fucking hand
So tell me where it hurts, if it hurts to be you
If it hurts to be used and abused
If you know where you don't want to be,
All the heavy hearted, sing this with me
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that we end up this way?
(Hey, hey) Born with a crisis of identity
(Hey, hey) Is it any wonder that this happens every day?
Are we cursed and condemned to a life of misery?
So tell me where it hurts, if it hurts to be you
If it hurts to be used and abused
If you know where you don't want to be,
All the heavy hearted, sing this with me
(Hey, hey) All the heavy hearted sing this with me
(Hey, hey) Cursed and condemned to a life of misery

LYRICS
I've got a bone to pick with fate,
‘Cos fortune’s failed me as of late,
And thrown me in too deep
I've lost the plot from losing so much sleep
Oh can you tell me, can you tell me how to save my soul?
Sometimes I wish the ground would
open up and swallow me whole
No cure for the lethargy
Overflowing nervous energy
Just can’t be left alone,
Wear me down to skin and bone
‘Cos I’m cocked like a shotgun
(Lock it and load)
I’ve got a bone to pick with everyone
(Hand me the rope)
It’s been an endless vicious cycle of this
I've been up, I've been down every day
I’ve been thinking, am I always gonna be this way?
Tell me, am I a man or machine?
A slave to substance or a slave to routine, yeah
Save my soul
Can't stop me, can't stop me crawling down this rabbit hole
Mercy, save my soul
Oh, can you tell that I can't tell you who I am anymore?
Count me in, pull the pin, and I’m ready to go
(Do you feel like you’re free when you lose control?)
No heaven above without a hell below
(What’s your worth on the earth if you sell your soul?)
I’m only here because it’s harder to feel,
Than to numb what is real
But I know by now that this state of mind
Is just a waste of time and it’s turning me inside-out
Say you’ll miss me when I’m gone
Just to keep me hanging on
‘til the bitter end
Here we go again
I've been up, I've been down every day
Something tells me I was always gonna be this way
We all need something to take off the edge
A little medicine, a week in a hospital bed
This is my lost cause state of mind
I hear them coming, and I’m running out of time

LYRICS
This is a place I know too well
Been down here a while, if you can't tell
And I have analysed and tried my best to justify
The sorrow I have brought upon myself
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I thought I had this, I thought I had this all figured out
You’d think I’d learned from all the shit I fucking screamed about
When there was sun I couldn’t see for the clouds,
Still climbing the walls of this well just to dive back down,
Until I reached my rock bottom
Down to the marrow, bringing up the bad blood I’d forgotten
Is it me that’s making me sick?
Been burning both ends of the wick
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I’ve got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette,
Casting a shadow, a shade over me
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist
Your worst impressions were right about me
I could ask you to stay, if you’re feeling forgiving
I could live with the guilt, if you call this living
I could try to memorise each grain of sand
As it slips through my fingers, and falls from my hands
It took me longer than I’d care to admit
This life is only what I choose to make of it
And the only thing standing in-between happiness and myself
Was this depression I held so close to my chest
Am I addicted to the misery, is this how I’ll always be?
Grinding the salt into every wound
Am I in love with all my ailments, glutton for punishment?
You can’t trust me to be there for you
I’ve got this cold black silhouette hanging like a marionette,
Casting a shadow, a shade over me
Just a sick, sad, sorry mess, living like a masochist
Your worst impressions were right about me
Wasting a waning youth
Waiting for something to help me pull through
I never saw the sun through the clouds
I lost faith when the skies were falling down

LYRICS:
I waited for the dawn
I waited for edge of daybreak
This sinking feeling is keeping me awake
I know what lies beneath this waking dream
And what becomes of all our demons
I know I’m suffering in vain
It’s just this ordinary life, all the ordinary stress and strain
But when it rains, it fucking pours all over me
No time, no time for anything
No time, no time for anyone
Nights spent staring down the barrel, defiantly
Self destructive, self-contradicting
Every waking moment begins again
Endlessly, my mind is slowly wandering and I’m far away
I found my way right back to here in time
Restlessly await the dawn and shut out all the light
Drift away; it’s only you tonight
Every waking moment
Watch the clock hands count down from dusk to day
Overwhelming, overanalysing me
Endlessly, my mind is slowly wandering and I’m far away
I found my way right back to here in time
Restlessly await the dawn and shut out all the light
Drift away; it’s only you tonight

LYRICS:
All out of exits, all out of enemies
You built this prison and buried the key
I’ve given up on giving in
Temptation mocks me from a distance, but I won’t let it win
This thin façade could never last
Like a snake that sheds its skin, illusions shatter like glass
The sceptic inside me believes what he knows
Cynically silent but with nothing to show
The devil beside me is whispering doubt in my ear
I’ll keep pretending not to hear
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour
Dead; left for dead and left to rot
A tainted memory, an empty afterthought
I’d lay my whole life on the line just to see this through
If it consumes me, let the script upon my tomb read:
I found my love and let it kill me
“Beg and plead, your own ambition brought you to your knees
Beg and plead, you built this prison, and buried the key”
A momentary lapse, the colours fade to grey
As if the world we knew was never meant to be
I know I’ll pay for my mistakes,
just promise me you’ll take my word and take my everything
So here I am for what it’s worth
I spilled my blood against the earth
Just to see the world in colour
So give me all you came here for
Give me hell and give me war
I’ll be waiting for an answer
I found my love and let it kill me

LYRICS:
Heavy hangs the air
Heavy lies the beating heart
Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze
Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight
Dead-set on living like tomorrow was to blame
And through these holes you'd see the blackest soul inside of me
One foot stuck in the past, one planted in my grave
Running circles, old habits die hard
Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far
Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways
I'm torn between the remedies for everything
Bloodshot, staring with a blank gaze
Deadbeat, carrying a dead weight
Dry mouth, taste it like a cut vein
Blackout, it all ends the same
So stay away, stay away,
Can you tell when I lie right through my teeth?
No escape, no escape
Like a chain, in a way we are all bound to our fate
Don't let it bury me
We call this therapy
Running circles, old habits die hard
Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far
Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways
I'm torn between the remedies for everything
Heavy hangs the air
Heavy lies the beating heart
Burden breeds remorse
Black clouds hover low like a curse
Running circles, old habits die hard
Each lesson learned never seemed to get too far
Call me reckless, call me stuck in my ways
I'm torn between the remedies for everything

Lyrics:
Before we knew what we were missing
Before we felt desire’s sting
We were content with what we had
And never wanted for anything
We know it’s futile to compare
Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware
Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy
Undermining every insecurity
It’s a fear growing deeper when no one’s around
Like a nagging aching sore
The devil’s in the detail, the truth inconsequential
The idle mind is scrutinised and robbed of its potential in time
Begging for redemption
Pleading for solutions
We know we never should have had this cross to bear
Our culture was the culprit, we were taken unaware
We’ve been led to think we needed more
(Resenting who we are)
Only to find that we were better off before
(Before we bought what we were sold, before we tried to fit the mould)
We’ve been chasing false perfection
Searching in the wrong direction
This is the crux of our corruption
Drawn into social seduction
Manifest the weakness, a self-fulfilling prophecy
Undermining every insecurity
To fan the flame, to watch your pride burn away
To reinforce the fear that taught us that we’re never good enough
We’ve been chasing false perfection
Searching in the wrong direction
This is the crux of our corruption
Drawn into social seduction

LYRICS:
I came into this world an unmarked page,
but I've stained the paper with lines that I cannot erase.
Discarded my identity,
a fragment of what I used to be.
An iron mind in paper walls
Is not a stable foundation in this ongoing storm,
and now these hands of stone have eroded, collapsed again.
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
No retribution.
No compromise.
Selfishly self-immolating inside.
Burn me alive.
I've seen the other side.
Burn me, set me alight
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
I can't deny this feeling
I can't ignore the pain
Of knowing I am human,
And we all feel the fucking same.
We're all born to feel this way.
And so I ask myself,
Is the measure of a man, his character, his worth,
contained by what his heart holds or contained within his works?
My motivations have never strayed,
But somewhere I think they were buried along the way.
I see a stranger's face
Staring in the mirror,
Who I was, was somewhere lost along the way.
Caught in an empty space,
I never thought I'd be here,
Each day I feel it take a part of me.
I've seen the other side.

LYRICS:
I was a king cast down, no throne nor crown
No claim to my name or my past
A sense of self-worth so immeasurably small,
In a universe stretching so vast, and so airless
Day by day my life force continued to fade
Pull me from this atrophy, restore the life blood back into my veins
Strength comes from admitting weaknesses inside us,
Staring our fears in the eye
I’d give anything
to be the one who kept composure,
to start over
And I want you to know there won’t always be an answer
There won’t always be a perfect ending
Is it all too late? Are we too far gone to save?
Never thought we’d walk so willing to an early grave
Haven’t we suffered enough?
Haven’t we shouldered the world?
The world that beat us down
I’d give anything
to be the one who kept composure,
to start over
I’m a truth unspoken
I’m a life untold
I’m a mind unbroken
Til my blood runs cold

LYRICS:
I’ve learned a lot about repentance, a lot about my shame
I felt the dark inside me long before it called my name
I thought my spine was stronger, ‘til my bones began to break,
from all the weight of never-ending
Hate. Hate what I’ve done,
When the floodgates are open, and the damage is done
Hate what I’ve become
The fight forgotten hasn’t always been won
I feel the pressure closing in,
it weighs on my mind ‘til I start to cave in
Regret is calling out to me, and I’m tired of answering
So sick of searching for a sense of relief
So sick of seeing my conscience as the enemy
So cut me off before it’s too late to see
I’ll weigh you down ‘til you’re sinking with me
Forgiveness never seemed so far
Pick at the scabs enough, soon they turn to scars
I was young and idealistic, that was stripped away by time,
And in the end all that was left was
Hate. Hate what I’ve done
When the floodgates are open, and the damage is done
The clocks won’t stop, the race is already run
I feel the pressure closing in,
it weighs on my mind til I start to cave in
Regret is calling out to me, and I’m tired of answering
In a crooked spiral
In a spin that never comes to rest
We turn again, we turn again
In a flame of repentance
We wash away the pain and the regret
We burn again, we burn again
In a crooked spiral
In a spin that never comes to rest
We turn again, we turn again
In a flame of repentance
In a permanent purgatory
We burn again, we burn again
So sick of searching for a sense of relief
So sick of seeing my conscience as the enemy
So cut me off before it’s too late to see
I’ll weigh you down til you’re sinking with me

LYRICS:
We are the gears in this churning machine,
the burning steam from the crack in the surface
We are your soul’s insomnia, the restless heart of indignation,
Forever awake
You’re all insane, staring at inevitable change
The selfish few who will stand in the way
But with each orbit you beg the world to turn at your will,
To rotate in reverse
You’re not a hero if you’re trapped behind a mask
Can’t hear them screaming when your head is in the sand
We’re hopeless, we’re helpless, we’ll wait here for a sign
Or stare into the sun until we’re blind, and out of time
You left each other to drown in a sea of ill concern,
in search of a thorned crown you were never meant to earn
You’d set the world ablaze to warm your hands on the flames
How did we let it come to this? We’re all to blame
This isn’t progress
This. Is. Not. This isn’t progress
Misled and sick in the head, playing the victim again
You’re not a hero if you’re trapped behind a mask
Can’t hear them screaming when your head is in the sand
What will it take to make you see?
We’re hopeless, we’re helpless, we’ll wait here for a sign
Or stare into the sun until we’re blind, and out of time
We are the gears in this churning machine,
the burning steam from the crack in the surface
We are your soul’s insomnia, the restless heart of indignation.
