about

This song is about Still Busts drummer leaving the band.

lyrics

We have never been particularly good at cards
(due to playing our)
hands face up from the deal but it never was about
winning or losing just the thrill of doing something for ourselves
and there you go...

Hang me for my sins
but dont paint me as a sinner
to exacerbate your pain
and recruit a common neighbour to your cause

Bottled was conflict and kept as a secret
made esoteric when fate piqued the need for demand

Everything we'd buried in the past
being now observed through cleaner glass
can be seen to be
moving with a purpose
and these restless spectres seem to have a goal
maybe this will be as close to the divine that we will likely ever get
its not the same, it will be tough
don't write us off because theres plenty of the fight left in us yet

Now I know that having no major complaints
won't stop me from feeling sad some days
and I know I can be so far left from right
that I can seem so out of tune.....
but it is never out of spite

You've never known conscription
let alone war
never found yourself lying up prone all night
afraid to sleep incase the darkness steals the dawn
no fear, no problem that you cant fix yourself
as the cards are laid on the table
it becomes clear that one of these hands is fixed
its doubtless that this was ever about the game
just a method of instigating planned results
im done
