lyrics

One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace

Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

I see shivers - linger
Details slip between my fingers
Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable

Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers

Empty suit - shuffled paper
Broken nails - metal flavour
I see shivers - shadows linger
Details slip between my fingers

Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
One minute there's no one there
The next we're face to face
And now you vanish with no trace
Trace

Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

Strip light - copper cable
Current kicks - burning sable
Motors running in the dark
Oil and dust - the smell of sparks

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
