about

The first track off of our Traveller demo disc! Sold at local shows and, now, online:

"The song tackles the mentality of people who live life as a facade and never expect to be called out. I wrote the lyrics for this in a pretty frustrated state so it ended up being a collection of write-offs directed at people that fitted the idea."

lyrics

Your excellence exceeds you
Your words burn hot and wild
Geared up and rolling out
The sparks fly off the tyres
Rims soar off the wheels of your pocket-change Sedan
Backhand suit drenched in sweat
From the marathon that you never ran
There's only so much false we can stand

A whine wakes up the sleeping dogs
Sourced from your exempt
Settle only for the best of passable attempts
Only quiet as a messenger of hatred and lament
Locking up the heart you wear upon your sleeve
The very one that you leeched upon
Then you cried about when you watch it leave

So long, nice to know you
The end of a story that we all see through
So wrong, your lies betray you
No tolerance, no second chance
You're just a Jester, now dance

Thanks for all the wrong you've done
Swear upon this ice-cold sun
Shake and bite the hand that feeds
Point your finger as you pull the trigger
Open eyes see where the bullet should lead
Recoils from the mirror to watch you bleed

So long, nice to know you
The end of a story that we all see through
So wrong, your lies betray you
No tolerance, no second chance
You're just a Jester, now dance

The break of dawn emerges
As the sunlight filters through
And a body stands tall in the mourn of the fall
And it knows just what to do
The earth beneath you shatters
As the weight of the guillotine
Slams down to the ground with such a treacherous sound
That you almost miss the scream
For you, there'll be no mercy here

You claim to know the reasons
As to why we slander your name
But the hateful relation needs an explanation
For the beast to again be tamed

So long, nice to know you
The end of a story that we all see through
So wrong, your lies betray you
No tolerance, no second chance
You're just a Jester
No tolerance, no second chance
You're just a Jester, now dance
