Everything Makes Sense

These cigarettes will kill me, I know.
But these days are kind of long
Without some smoke to blow.
You said, “lean on me I’m strong enough for two.
As long as you can carry three
Because I’ll climb right back on to you.”
But now it’s okay, yeah, everything makes sense.
I guess I’ve known it all along.
These old thoughts of mine are enough to do me in.
So I’ll just keep on patching walls
Over and over again.
You said, “lean on me I’m strong enough for two.
But if your knees should buckle once
We’ll tumble right back on to you.”
I've got your number.

Follow My Eyes
02:30
|

All these nights I lay awake
Thinking thoughts that never change.
Just close your eyes and let go.
Just close your eyes.
All these nights I lay awake
Thinking thoughts I shouldn’t think.
I could have lied but I didn’t.
I could have lied.
And everybody will laugh and say that I ought to know.
You said, “You’ve got that look inside your eyes that says you’re letting go.”
All these dreams I can’t quite shake
Linger like smoke when I’m awake.
Just follow my eyes if you dare.
Follow my eyes.
All these dreams I can’t quite shake
Will follow me to the fucking grave.
I should have lied but I didn’t.
I should have lied.
All these dreams.
All these nights.

Ghost

There’s a ghost in the mirror.
There’s a ghost in the mirror.
And I don’t know how but it’s wearing me down.
She said, “You’re freaking me out.
You’re just not quite yourself.”
She said, “You’re scaring me now.”
She said, “You’re scaring me now.”
And I don’t know just how this will end
But I know the end is coming soon.
There’s blood on the walls. There’s blood on the walls.
She said, “You’re seeing things that aren’t there at all.”
My blood’s staining the walls. My blood’s staining the walls.
She said, “You’re killing yourself.” I said, “I’m watching it fall.”

Holding Steady
02:42
|
|
||
|
I just don’t know if I want anymore of this.
These thoughts are circling like buzzards overhead.
But I don’t need more than you now.
“Oh,” she said, “you worry about the strangest things.”
“Oh,” I said, “I worry about everything.”
But I don’t need more than you now.
You’re holding steady but I need saving, come on.

Off My Guard
02:22
|
|
||
|
All my goddamned life
I’ve had troubles with my mind.
Like troubles sleeping nights
And troubles feeling fine.
But still it caught me off of my guard.
It caught me off of my guard.
How I just feel like dying.

Leave It To Me
02:10
|

Last ten seconds of life are gonna pass before our eyes, my friend
And this time we’re serious.
Take handful of pills, drink a box full of wine again.
Baby, we’re poisonous.
I said, “I can’t wait to be through with this life.”
She said, “Not me. Not now. Not ever.”
“What do you mean? I’ve already gone too far
I’m fading fast. I thought we were in this together.”
If you don’t want to come
It’s okay, baby.
Just leave it to me.

Cancer

And if cancer’s going to fill my body then maybe nicotine
Was always the right answer and I just gave up too easily.
She said, “You’re staring out the windows
And you’re just screaming at the walls.
And you’re just crawling out of your skin now
And there ain’t nothing there at all.”
I guess I figured it out. I guess I figured it out.
That when I hear voices in my head that
That’s the darkness coming over me.
I guess I figured it out. I guess I figured it out.
That when I see shadows climbing walls
And I’m just too afraid to sleep.
That when I hear footsteps down the hall that
That’s the darkness crawling over me.
And if cancer’s going to fill my body then maybe gasoline
Was always the right answer and I just need a fire to come clean.

Wait A Minute
02:50
|
|
||
|
I run from the night even in my home.
All I’ve ever wanted is to be alone.
I bear watching.
I’ve been seeing things that maybe aren’t quite there.
And I know all of this leaves you a little scared.
I bear watching.
You’d better wait a minute with every step that I take.
I bear watching.
I run from the night even in my home.
I hear footsteps down the hall even when I’m alone.
I bear watching.
I’ve been seeing things that maybe aren’t quite there.
Shadows climbing walls and those ghosts in the mirror.
I bear watching.

So Long
01:54
|
|
||
|
I’ve got this feeling in my head
And I’ve been feeling this dread now for so long.
I’ve got this pounding in my chest
And I’ve been feeling so restless now for so long.
You said, “you worry about the strangest things.”
I said, “I worry about everything.”
I haven’t felt like me in so long. So long.

Reach Out
03:13
|
|
||
|
A little spark becomes the flames.
A little dark, then suffocating.
A little water, then I’m out in the deep.
One more whisper might bury me.
Do you gotta reach out?
Really, really reach out?
Before you fade away.
Lights out and calmly let go.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸

The Sun is Down and The Night is Riding In
by Crusades
supported by 13 fans who also own “Eulogies”
This is absolutely the best new punk band at the moment. This record sees Crusades in their raw element evoking sounds of dark punk rock with pure adrenaline to the ears. Tracks include "Driven" with an old AFI/Misfits feel and the Jesus and Mary Chain influenced "Serpentine".
