Is this the end of your world? You threw it away As soon as the bells rang in this year We're counting down for your rage to end It's not for us to comprehend Will you get what's implied here? Roll your eyes at me until you Realise what lies beneath, it's Five in the morning and I'm not longer trying The table's turned, the room has caught a Glimpse of your complexity We could call quits now and noone would be mourning Who have you got left to blame? You drove them away With all the devotion to your self-worth Blood Ties Won't Bend To Victory And all your slurs all aimed at me Will you get what's implied here? What a great start to the new year If this was the end of the world, would you fight for it? Or would you just wallow in defeat?

Meet me at Queen Street, outside the gates Dumbarton's running high on tales and misery so let's waste time regretting what we did when we were sixteen I guess that it's funny how those songs we loved bring back the days when growing up seemed longer than it takes as we walk around this maze we see our better days reflecting what feels half a world away as time decays we shatter the glass with false impressions it's not too late we can't close our eyes when we're tricked by time's disguise They say this town's a wreck, but that's not fair but home is where the hate is and the rest are scared to see this town bleed for anyone who sees a different way and I won't make these words subjective just so you can claim you feel the same, we're different shades of gray But if you feel that life's to blame There's nothing left to say I hope you regret every wasted day So when you left this town behind to a place built in your mind Did you burn the bridge behind you Will you stay to watch it fall A closet basket case I guess there could be worse ways for me to cope with dealing with each passing day

Stay Classy Jennifer, you're drunk off your arse again I won't miss those late night calls, but you sure have a way with words Housewives get desperate on their own and with a drink in hand they'll see old habits grow It's not enough for you to leave a closing argument and when you make your case, you're building up a monument so take another drink on me I'm making peace and moving on but when I've reached an end you find new things that I've done wrong You won't find genies in the bottles that you're drowning in only fuel to fire your angst and bitter loneliness so take another shot at me Were you as classy at your daughter's age? Did you pave the way? Were you a lassie that was all the rage? Have you seen better days?

This is not a test, I swear I'm losing half my mind because I just can't seem to sleep I wrote a thousand shitty songs I bet you think that this is one I'm no Freddie Mercury You can call this modesty But I'm inclined to disagree I swear to God I can't believe that you can't clearly see I know it's a long shot but it's a shot I'm willing to take So let's end this conversation and start this love we know how to fake Because I hate this running around, we're chasing blank stares and fantasies (Can you see what it does to me?) and if you're just leading me on I've nothing left to say It's a waste of time if you can't say what's on your mind I just can't seem to make things clear Don't take a chance on something new when you feel you can't follow through on satisfying needs I guess you're sharing honesty I don't know what this means to me Can you say the night's we shared were not worth having fun? If I was nothing to hide would you tell me your fantasy You can tell me when your sober or scream it all in passion Either way I'm going home much wiser than before It's a long shot but nothing out of our reach

Sharp wit and intellectual thinking both left in this ship drifting from the shore and even though the signs were clear I never knew which way to steer I'll ride this storm til morning Was it your wish to be linked to a siren For us to be blinded by what we believed? When you serenade us with white lies and trauma Will you show no mercy when you sink your teeth? Are you listening to anything I say? For once just think of me You can take it or leave it baby, i no longer care Nothings left for me except the irony Blindsight to fronts for indiscretion Make up for my attraction to your plight Not so bonny, not so blithe, under all your tales and lines Tangled in the webs you're weaving Are you taking pride in a simple demeanour long lost in the ether, won't rise from the flames It's not making sense to seek fortune from those who fell prey to what's untrue, do you feel ashamed? A tender devotion to tame your emotion Now i've got a notion to set it ablaze A modern day moral for hidden agendas that you claim you're mending, you're no doubt the same

about

Picnic Basket Nosedive Glasgow, UK

Picnic Basket Nosedive are a 4-piece Pop Punk band from the outskirts of Glasgow - near the bonny banks of Loch Lomond to be precise! We have no amazing backstory of how the band formed, we just got sick of our local music scene taking itself too seriously. ... more
