Used 02:29
I’ll never see you at school again I’ll never see you in my life You’re just a profile on the net Locked ‘cause we’re not friends And we never will be again (If you had your time again...) You used to be so pretty You’re not like that anymore So promising; blossoming, ripening Just to leave me And when I saw you Years later down the line Oh the cruelty of time! You didn’t catch the eye of anyone You just blended into space Make-up thick upon your face (If you had your time again...) You used to be so pretty You’re not like that anymore So promising; blossoming, ripening Just to leave me You were once so sweet The only girl for me The only girl for me… I’m not gonna lie I’m happy ‘cause I Had you in your prime (If you had your time again...) You used to be so pretty You’re not like that anymore So promising; blossoming, ripening Just to leave me

Monotone 03:08
Your touch keeps love Hides discrace Their blood binds us Anyway Anyway… Don’t you ever fight it? Do you just bend every time? Trying to restart Waiting for a part You gave up a lot for the lifestyle, honey You like what you’ve got, but you’re still not happy An ocean from the sea Someone that isn’t me Don’t you deny it There is still hope for this Nothing worth having will ever come easy And you can’t be everything, to everyone, all the time I’m not putting words in your mouth I’ll let you figure it out If there’s a shadow of doubt who’s cast it? (You pushed it over, now you want another) Someone that isn’t me Don’t you deny it There is still hope for this Nothing worth having will ever come easy And you can’t be everything, to everyone, all the time

Breathing 03:45
Left behind a seed Come back to pastures burned So long you struggled there Your voice was never heard The waiting did you in Like standing in a queue Where no one has to wait And everyone gets served Except for you You’re still breathing air You’re still breathing air No angel’s gonna come down And cradle you in their arms And tell you it’s alright When you’re waiting for the comedown And you know it’s gonna hit hard I’ll be at your side Do you remember how they used to lie? How they always had an alibi? All the evidence would disappear You’re so much better off away from here

about

The long awaited first release from Matthew Hitchcock and Martin Gear scuttles across themes of schadenfreude, resentment, hopelessness, hope, delusion, fading beauty, ageing and the uselessnes of blame.

An exploration of the things that remind us of other things. The smells that transport us. The sounds that invigorate us. The triggers and the holes we can't help but peer into once everything else has been used up.
