Flinch 03:27
In the city, I'm unknown In the city I'm a rolling stone Haven't been the same since she passed away But I guess it doesn't matter anyway I will not flinch Eat Kopiko in the night Having toast in the morning Haven't been the same since she passed away But I guess it doesn't matter anyway I will not flinch Behind your eyes I see you
2.
Text her to the bone Leave her all alone Chit-chat is such a chore She's in love - she's such a whore Caught in the chains of self-esteem Her leg is sore - the razor stings Just walk away from all that's right And don't forget to blood the child Beware her lazy Rs Beware her crazy eyes Pain she knows too well I assumed that she was well
3.
Pain is right from me When you're away I feel nothing at all Say you're not worth it Just say your name and I'll run in dark decay Never knew what I wanted, wanted anymore Knew what I wanted, wanted But I never never got it got Never knew what I wanted, wanted anymore Never knew what I wanted, wanted I can feel the slow pain It's easier to run and hide When no one knows you're even alive Say your name, in the dark of the flame And I'll run through the ground, I'll run through the ground again
4.
I'm burnt like a cigarette I'm slow like Rosie in her bed We're told we can't look down again But sure, I feel like hell again If you like pokies so much Maybe you can die If I don't see you round the bend At least I showed you how to be a friend You wanted more, I gave you everything At least I showed you how to be a friend Be a friend We want nothing for ourselves We look like I just came from hell I want to say I love again But I can't stand to hurt again If you like showing skin Then maybe you can fry
5.
As I lay in the dark like custodian art I don't have much face These extremely screwed up tales Are drilling like a million nails Driving in my spine It's an episode Don't you wanna go? Do you want to be lost? Yeah, that's what you want I don't know what to find These extremely screwed up tales Are drilling like a million nails Driving in my spine

about

The Weekend Hiatus Brisbane, Australia

The Weekend Hiatus is the brainchild of Tom Gillespie (Guitar, vocals), who decided one day that his music wasn't so bad and that someone might like it. He met his drummer Ben Crock where he pretends to study in journalism, and the picture was completed with scotch-drinking keyboardist David Sparkes, whose on-stage dance needs to be seen to be believed.

Oh wait, where's the bass player?

Dammit.
