In the End When We're Dust at Least We Don't Have to Clean the Mess Up

[pæ.tʃɹɪk] Fantastic album that triggers some 90s British rock nostalgia for me while retaining a fresh, modern feel. Dynamic song structures that flow from lightly melancholic to uplifting. The production is incredibly clean, preserving little details (fingers sliding on strings, light claps) to discover on repeated listens, hiding amongst electronic and analog instrumentation. Highly recommended! Favorite track: Captured Light.

Wash Over Me 03:09
Fill my lungs Turned to face the sun Still my sullen tongue Soak in, soak in, soak in Wash Over Me Wash Over Me Wash Over Me See all colours Live like new lovers Like there are no others Soak in, soak in, soak in Wash Over Me Wash Over Me Wash Over Me Say I’m alive Not in a dream Feels like the first day of my life We’ll never learn Never change our ways Feels like the first day of my life Wash Over Me Wash Over Me Wash Over Me

Need to find a potent distraction Occupy my mind Drown me out Erase all doubt Never gonna leave your side Never gonna leave your side I need to incite a reaction Ease my restless mind Call my name Absolve my blame Never gonna leave your side I only exist as your promise I can never be your design Drown me out Erase all doubt Never gonna leave your side Calling out for you now Calling out for you now Calling out for you now Calling out for you now Keep away from the light Out of reach and sight Air and watertight Keep away from the light Out of reach and sight Air and watertight

I swore that I had dream this Not quite reality Our minds will warp these memories Forget them, stay pure Nothing’s going to harm us now Release your inhibitions You’re not to blame in this Our minds will warp these memories Don’t let them form a truth Nothing’s going to harm us now

Keep the wolves from my door Hold the fireworks an arm’s length away Spare the gore of what’s at stake While it’s beyond a lifetime’s decay Please don’t block my way I am human I still got time to make a change Don’t disturb my day I am human I still got time I’ll find a way This changes everything that happens from now on This changes everything that happens from now on This changes everything that happens from now on Am I among the lucky ones? Deep in my heart of hearts Can I rest knowing I’ve done enough In the end when we’re dust at least we don’t have to clean the mess up This changes everything that happens from now on This changes everything that happens from now on This changes everything that happens from now on Am I among the lucky ones? Reject all your warning signs Ringing bells and flashing lights Can’t turn it off now everything is happening at once Everything is happening at once

I fear they’re on to me Exposed identity Shared all of my anxieties My mind slowly emptied Don’t be evil Don’t be evil Don’t be evil I fear they’ve sold me out I hold no secrets now Don’t dream of life beyond the cloud For fear of missing out Don’t be evil Don’t be evil Don’t be evil Take all that I can give Beyond alternatives Do I possess just skin and bone With no thoughts of my own Don’t be evil Don’t be evil Don’t be evil

All I Need 03:31
I’ll be the cure I’ll mask the warning signs Tab on your tongue the lets you sleep at night I’ll be the flood that makes you feel alive I’ll be the veil I’ll pull the wool over your eyes You are all I need I need You are all I need I need I’ll draw the blood that bids the sharks to roam I feel so human Feel so obvious I’ll be the rush that makes you feel alive I’ll be your stones to throw The fuel to feed your fire You are all I need I need You are all I need I need You are all I need I need You are all I need I need Cast no stones Pick no bones It’s in our nature in our nature Cast no stones Pick no bones It’s in our nature It’s in our nature You are all I need I need You are all I need I need You are all I need I need You are all I need I need

Is it harmless to assume a role? Imitate another soul Could one ever truly know What fills the spaces in between? Since abandoned faux reality Life behind the scenery Captured light Sealed in time Always something more Always something more Effervescent, honey-sweet Brightest starlet, beauty queen Shield the blues for the silver screens So much safer not to feel Fall asleep behind the wheel Blur the outlines of what is real Captured light Sealed in time There’s always something more There’s always something more

Fugue 04:15
Empty vessel Blank space Memories cleared like tapes erased Feel all the shades Tethers me like a shadow Sense of ego so hollow Feel all the shades Fugue Drift like the tidal ebb and flow Rid the sense of afterglow Feel all the shades Sell my fears for the comfort of a life by the numbers Life upon a shelf Longing to forget myself Fugue To be everything To feel it all To be everything Feel at all Have my job and fixed address There are some fates worse than death Life upon a shelf Longing to forget myself Fugue

Seal my fate Close that door Let nothing ever change Each new break More of the same Clear outlines just slip my mind Losing so much time This never quite felt like real life Felt like real life Best laid plans slip through my hands Sleepwalk through the year Silent besides the ring in my ear Seal my fate Close that door Let nothing ever change Each new break More of the same More of the same I could live inside that weekend the rest of my life In the amber of the moment Under bright lights relive each second for all of time Never leave this all behind Night are framed like movie scenes in specious memories Present tense is nothing to me Everything word resembles poetry strung from a melody Present tense is nothing to me Nothing to me I could live inside that weekend the rest of my life In the amber of the moment Under bright lights relive each second for all of time Never leave this all behind

Don't Wait 02:42
Smallest space Face the same way Moving at such high speed Perfectly still Among living dead In over my head Force ourselves out of the red Somewhere safe and warm Don’t Wait Don’t leave your mind in just one place Long enough to feel afraid Isolate Don’t Wait Don’t leave your mind in just one place Long enough to feel afraid We’re wired to connect It’s natural you’re yearning Evolve and create Never stop learning Don’t hide from the change Grow each and every day They’ve found me out Don’t fear that the best is only a memory Pain will recede as all things eventually Fears can be shed As futile as identity
