TrackListing
- Invisible Wall
- Beijing Morning
- Assimilation
- Bathmophobia
Notes:
- Most of the EP was written in late 2010 / early 2011. It was recorded late 2011 then throughout 2012. We didn't mix it until 2013 though
- This is the first EP where we haven't collaborated with anyone.
- Invisible Wall was one of those rare songs that was written quickly. But took the longest to get a mix we liked.
- Beijing Morning, was written when E went to China on holiday.
- Assimilation, is a re-recording of a quite old unreleased Hair Thieves tune, that Chris didn't quite know what to do with, so we stripped it down and jiggled the parts around a little.
- Bathmophobia is the fear of slopes, named due to Chris' reluctance to go down hills in buses.
Invisible Wall
Music & Lyrics Chris Rollason
A future branched by a few choice words
that you don't love me anymore
a present built on sinking sands
a fall lamentable
My past lies bare, by truths and dares
the scars on heart forever more
abroken soul now laid to waste
a fool regrettable
But mended hearts can break
I feel less fragile, a big mistake
pride and lust come before a fall
a headlong crash, an invisible wall
The crushing blow the sinking depths
a pale shadow is all that's left
they pick me up, dust off my clothes
and start again and around it goes
I gave you the chance to try and hurt me
trusted you to not
gave you the doubts to use against me
reduced invisible
a drunken word of such regret
kick starts a chain retractable
the truth of all in open hands
a lesson learned invaluable
Beijing Morning
Music & Lyrics I Packman.
Beijing morning
after the night before
a life times regret
there can be no more
you said your words
and your story is told
I look on you
longing to hold
tears in your eyes
i can take no more
we say our goodbyes
as you head for he door
Yet now we're walking hip to hip
as whip-crack gunfire fills the air
Yet now we're touching lip to lip
You say "oh" and we are both scared
I walk a tightrope
with you in my arms
one mis-step
could do such harm
I'll never drop you
or let you go
movinf forwards
take it slow
Beijing Morning
regrets no more
no more goodbyes
as we head for the door
Assimilation
Music and Lyrics C Rollason.
And it changes you by nature
I'm more like you, you're more like me
so please don't complain
I'm not the man I used to be
we're no fun anymore
we've heard each others jokes a hundred times
I get along with the friends I see
with them I'm a lot less predictable
Mediocrity breeds contempt
we're running out of things to say
finish each others sentences
until just silence remains
I'm a little piece of all those before you
you're now a piece of me
I'm turning into you
you're starting to dress like me
like the same books, the same films the same everything
we've become a habit
we've shared ourselves too completely
assimulated into one
people talk about us as one
I've lost my sense of personality
Bathmophobia
