Sky Daddy 01:16
Don’t let those dirty words penetrate the skin The river breaks its banks and the thoughts come rushing in The water looks clean but it’s not safe to drink One man and his rib A snake and a fib You spend all your time looking to him Trying to fill your guts with that warm feeling You think that he’s smiling but he’s just showing teeth That sun on your skin That’s science Not him The chances of this were always pretty small The fact that matter came together at all We were all born with a god shaped hole But you made the choice to fill yours His creatures will kill in the name of him The vultures will pick the bones clean There’s a place for you to rot in the ground There’s no place for you above the clouds

Wires 00:36
Set the house on fire Untangle all my wires I'm having all the wrong thoughts Bury my desires A moment so long a go A picture I can still see Has fucked me
3.
Weeds 01:28
There's beauty in the weeds In their will to succeed Bring down the tallest trees and to break through the concrete Like a dormant little seeding Waiting for the heat I'm waiting for the heat Love will grow strong but lust will bolt and fall If you grow it fast If you grow it tall Will it be strong? Will it last at all?
4.
In My Lap 00:48
I've been waiting for something to happen For something to drop to the earth in my lap And you can't take it back I guess this is what it feels like To lose
5.
There will come a time when the human race is gone And even the brightest stars go dull The smallest cog in the wheel that turns In some forgotten corner of the universe And we won't find the meaning of life Don't we just die? And I don't want to go it alone Chasing my thoughts When all significance is lost Living on this pale blue dot
6.
Leeches 03:21
You leeches must eat Go on and suck all the life out of me You worms must feed Breaking me down into parts that are no longer seen See I've been looking for some space and now I'm lost in it Never coming back to earth I'm afraid it's gonna burn My friends are slipping through the cracks and I am trying to pull them back I'm getting tired I'm filled with doubt And I am slowly burning out My door's always open My days are always the same I don't sleep real well these days I've been praying for the rain I think I miss the heartache and wasting time in drink Give me some time to think Just make it rain on me
7.
Easy To Miss 01:17
I've got a lot of questions but there's no way i will ask them I don't want to wreck the flow or hint at any tension There's a black cloud over my head and a black dog at my feet And I hate this skin because it no longer fits Let alone all of the marks that are in it Bumped and bruised and a little hurt Waiting for the rain like a seed planted in the dirt Bumped and bruised and a little hurt I've got a lot of questions but there's no way i will ask them I don't want to wreck the flow or hint at any tension There's a black cloud over my head and a black dog at my feet The rats fill the deck of this sinking ship And I feel dirty I feel so unclean
8.
Float 00:52
There's no difference between the deep and shallow when you're floating calmly at the surface
9.
That Panic 01:09
Twisted thoughts You've had a good run but can't run me anymore Racing heart That panic when you can't put the words to thoughts Lead the horse to water but you can't make it think right
10.
She watered the rest of the garden but left my hops to die Spite drought They withered away like our love She watered her plants but left me to dry I am preaching but not to the choir She soaked my last match to reignite the fire Deep in her stomach like the one that burns in mine
11.
I wanna be sedated There's a mess and I can't face it Don't be angry I've been disappointing lately I've been flaky Yeah, I've been disappointing lately I wanna be sedated There's a mess and I can't face it Don't be angry I've been disappointing lately I've been flaky Yeah, I'm so tired my bodies aching Should it be this complicated? Wanna ask how I feel maybe? And my guts sink like a stone When my head hits the pillow the tales start to unwind Begin to twist Begin to bend They start throwing fists out blind Legs kicking, lungs screaming like a child felt deprived It's a tune I hear so often but I can't work out it's time

about

Threats Hobart, Australia

Threats enjoy playing too many notes, too quickly for their own ability and screaming about what troubles them from stages cluttered with guava Cruiser bottles. When it comes to bands, as with life itself, you can choose to sit on the fence. If you do so with Threats, the fence might splinter, and you will be impaled. So why not jump down and take the plunge with them into fervent oblivion. ... more
