Always stuck in the morning light Don’t know how to feel Another minute in paradise Don’t indulge the real (From another) Another life I steal Oh another warning sign I can’t see the end I’m too desensitised We can call it friends Whatever that means In the midnight hour When all your love’s been devoured Don’t you make the same mistake twice I swear I won’t do it this time Still stuck in the morning light Never say never Dwelling on the feeling that I won’t be around forever No, no no no no We’re not who we wanna be and not who they want either I am who I was yesterday if you remember (Not now
) Not now, not then, not ever Oh you wanna go my way But you worry what the people will say, oh Don’t you make the same mistake twice I swear I won’t make it this time Ah x8 (I won’t do is this time)

Circles 03:26
Livin' in fantasy Don’t wake me from this dream Don’t wanna know the answer you got for me Staring on down the aisle For miles and miles Don’t wanna know the answer you got for me We spend another day going round in circles again, oh Spend another day Round in circles again Every time I give My other hand takes it away, no way Maybe the stars will align for us one day Staring on down the aisle For miles and miles Don’t wanna know the answer you got for me We spend another day going round in circles again, oh Spend another day Round in circles again Oh like you wouldn’t believe Prior warning please next time Prior warning please next time I’m away again, oh I died 
 Prior warning please next time Spend another day Round in circles again Oh like you wouldn’t believe, going round in circles again Spend another day Round in circles again Oh like you wouldn’t believe, going round in circles again

Ostracised 03:47
Hey, my woman Knows it’s too late Won’t hesitate, anymore Hey, my woman Knows it’s the end Wouldn’t pretend What the hell is going on I don’t know your feeling Something here is very wrong I know what you’re stealing I don’t wanna know it all Nothing here seems real and Tell me what’s going on Ostracised! Hey, my woman Losing her sight Won’t compromise Pray for absolution Better get it right What the hell is going on I don’t know your feeling Something here is very wrong I know what you’re stealing I don’t wanna know it all Nothing here seems real and Tell me what’s going on Ostracised! 

 Oh Something’s wrong Deep inside All in all Something’s wrong I can’t hide All in all, ooh Something’s wrong I can’t… What the hell is going on I don’t know your feeling Something here is very wrong I know what you’re stealing I don’t wanna know it all Nothing here seems real and Tell me what’s going on Ostracised! Ooh Ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ostracised!

You Said It 02:52
Fear Ringing in my ear Got to move I can’t hear If it’s real Or insincere I don’t have a clue Years we’re gonna lose If we just can’t choose I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind Can’t get it out of my head 
(Get it out of my head) 

Fear Ringing in my hear Got to move Can’t go forward Can’t go back Stuck in limbo Gotta stay on track Got to move Got to you I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind Can’t get it out of my head I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind What you said You said it I don’t mind Can’t get it out of my head (Get it out of my head) (Get it out of my head)

Surrounded 03:45
So am I here to stay? Been so long Can’t get away Everywhere I look You’re right behind Now I got to find my way Home again 

 Nothing really changed round here Familiar decisions endear Can’t believe it’s been a whole year Look in the mirror Same person that I fear I’m lost in the atmosphere Since you went away Can’t replace your love my dear So am I here to stay? (Surrounded, surrounded) Been so long Can’t get away (Surrounded, surrounded) Everywhere I look You’re right behind (Surrounded, surrounded) Now I got to find my way Home again Went by the house last night All our stars had turned black and white All our memories survive Take a look around I’m surrounded by The life we left behind It’s time to say goodbye Deer in the headlights Don’t know where to hide So am I here to stay? (Surrounded, surrounded) Been so long Can’t get away (Surrounded, surrounded) Everywhere I look You’re right behind (Surrounded, surrounded) Now I got to find my way Home again Ooh you’re everywhere I look Ooh you’re everywhere I go Ooh everyone I meet Everyone I know Gotta find my way back Gotta find my way And I got to find my way home again (ooh)

I can go anywhere I’m tripping on thin air, oh Got nothing to wear And I don’t really care, oh 

Curiosity burns the brain Think I’m going insane We just wanna be free We just wanna be, out of control 

I got itchy feet Hereditary disease, oh woah I know just what I need A little anonymity Curiosity takes a hold This body’s got no soul, oh We just wanna be free We just wanna be, out of control I can go anywhere I’m tripping on thin air, oh Got nothing to wear And I don’t really care, neither here nor there

Confused 04:42
(Something’s wrong) I can’t seem to find a way (On and on) Feeling like that there’s no escape (Round in circles) More we try the more it dies (Hit a wall) I just wanna do it again (Loved you more) Than anything I’ve ever known (I would walk) with you until the end of the road (Universe) Begging me to let you go How could we win in the end? What are we to do? Got no answer for you Got me so confused (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end (Hey) How can we make amends (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end But we can’t pretend anymore (Every time) I think of you I must refrain (If I could) I’d loop our love all over again (You have shaped me) In ways I can’t even describe (
What a time) Time it was to be alive (What happened to us) Far beyond our control (Love consumed us) Spat us out with no console (Universe) Begging me to let you go How could we win in the end? What are we to do? Got no answer for you So much riding on Got me so confused Got me so confused (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end (Hey) How can we make amends (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end But we can’t pretend anymore What are we to do Got no answer for you Got me so confused (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end (Hey) How can we make amends (Hey) Don’t wanna see the end But we can’t pretend anymore

Obelisk 05:43
Death by a thousand cuts Couldn’t resist the touch Born in the first place Born with a curse, erased When life’s sunshine Turns into stone Unaccepted for all that you know When the people you thought you knew You don’t know There’s a place that you can always go Innocence don’t come for free Fell out the poison tree You know it just occurred to me You know the people that you meet? We’re all just ships sailing free On a deep, and vast, and endless sea When life’s sunshine Turns into stone Unaccepted for all that you know When the people you thought you knew You don’t know There’s a place that you can always go It’s called home Obelisk (repeat) When life’s sunshine Turns into stone Unaccepted for all that you know When the people you thought you knew You don’t know There’s a place that you can always go It’s called home

Rolling in my head Waking up in the rain Rolling in my head, again Another day in the pouring rain In the night time Looking you up on the phone again In the morning Wondering what you do today Rolling in my head Waking up in the rain Rolling in my head, again Another day in the pouring rain In the night time Looking you up on the phone again In the morning Wondering what you do today In the morning sun When you’re back to having fun Oh will you still think of me? In the morning sun When you’re back to having fun Oh will you still think of me? In the final hour Will our love spring a flower? Oh will you still think of me? In the final hour Will our love spring a flower? Oh will you still think of me?

Can’t eat Can’t sleep You won’t break me I am sick and tired You won’t break me Holding on Much too long What am I waiting for? I am tired I am wired Up to you It won’t do This life without you I tried and failed Thought I crave Nothing to lose I was wrong Don’t always get to choose Won’t let you down Won’t run away Up against the rain Obstacles we won’t ever change I’m proud of how we came out on top After all we’re up against, against all odds I am sorry Had to push us to to the edge a little more Need forgiveness Had to witness The cold hard floor To really know and understand not to stand over there But now I’m falling and I’m calling out your name Everywhere It won’t do This life without you I tried and failed Thought I crave Nothing to lose I was wrong Don’t always get to choose Won’t let you down Won’t run away Up against the rain Obstacles we won’t ever change I’m proud of how we came out on top After all we’re up against, against all odds (It won’t do This life without you I tried and failed Thought I crave Nothing to lose I was wrong Don’t always get to choose Won’t let you down Won’t run away)

about

Deep into the touring cycle of our debut record we recorded a secret show at RAK studios in London, which subsequently became our "Live At RAK" album. We were so impressed with the sound the engineer, Mike Horner (Everything Everything, Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand), got out of us that we made the decision to team up together on our second album.

We spent the rest of that year hard at work touring and writing, ending up with around twenty five songs, and then holed ourselves up at Nave Studios in Leeds where we both teamed up with in-house engineer Tom Orrell and made a record together.

Lyrically the album deals with coming of age type introspections, having grown up a lot since our debut record, feelings of wanderlust and heartbreak. We also agreed from the outset that we wanted this album to be more immediate and hard hitting, focusing on a less is more approach, apparent in tracks like "Same Mistake Twice", "Ostracised" and "You Said It". We also wanted to capture the rawness and live energy felt in our live shows, while retaining a polished, modern production sheen. I think we came closest to achieving this on album closer "Against All Odds". Either way, we're extremely proud of our achievement and how far we've come during the process. We hope you enjoy listening to it.
