lyrics

You freak
You sneak
Invited into the room

It's dull
and grey
I wish it was over soon

The windows
don't look outside
Your eyes glaze over

And you stare right through me
Right through me
Can't you see
what's going on?
I don't know
What you're waiting for

I wish it was over
Over now
I'm looking at the door
Thinking of out side
I ask you a straight question
You give me slippery answers
You're bending and wriggling
but you're totally still

Stare through me
Right through me
Can't you see
what's going on?
I don't know
what you're waiting for

Stare through me
Right through me
Can't you see
what's going on?
I don't know
what you're waiting for

Meanwhile in another dimension
of my own invention
You eat all your words
I give you double detention
and pop your pretention
Your palace in shards

Stand in the room
Sit in the chair
I'm looking at your balding hair

My eyes glaze over
I stare right back at you
Like I'm looking at the door
Thinking of outside

I stare through you
I stare through you
I stare through you
I stare through you

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way. kjhayes

Sounds like the album could be in either a fashion show or a kinetic action movie from the 2010s and I mean that in a good way. Theres kind of a touch of VNV Nation in the sound as well as the stated nods. CS
