1979-reprise 02:57
Those heels pounding the carpet Running through the halls of the family home Ten years old Jumping fences, brandy in the silos Life was never more simple 1979, 1979 Ten years, Fourteen days 1979, 1979 Fourteen years but aways Holding your breath, Hoping for something better Before the cigarettes hit your lungs Fourteen years young Your wet hair frames your face Return home to the house built by dead hands and lost souls 1979, 1979 Ten years, Fourteen days 1979, 1979 Ten years, Fourteen days

The seasons bring no relief From the endless cycle of pain I've tried to stay awake, But I fear it's not enough. A weight left upon my chest These burdens are too much to bare I've tried my hardest to wait Left alone with my thoughts and decay I have never felt ashamed As much I do now This weight is too much to bare I've grown tired of staying awake I guess it's always been too late No longer burdened by the pressure to conform I've failed in this life, and wish to be reborn By now, you'll know of all the selfish things I've done. By now, you'll know of all the selfish things I've done. By now, you'll know of all the selfish things I've done. By now, you'll know of all the selfish things I've done. By now, you'll know of all the selfish things I've done.

about

We had a recording session booked and prepared for April last year, and like so many other people, the pandemic caused things to change and we had to cancel. We decided to record some B-sides at home and try our hand at production.

We released these tracks last year in September. But amidst the chaos that is life, forgot to upload it here.

Hope you enjoy!
