Palpitation 03:30
You know what you want, Can't stand what you get, Feeling so wrong, Just wanna forget, Unstitching the wounds, You will never heal, All you've been through, Still cannot heal. Two foot wide, six feet deep, Close my eyes, Go to sleep, Rotting Away, Living decay, Nothing to say, Can't get away, Two foot wide, Six feet deep, Close my eyes, Go to sleep.

Filth 03:42
I wanna touch, to look's not enough, Staring at you, there's no way it's love, The way that I feel, how can this be real, I don't give a fuck, I just wanna fuck x2 The price that we pay for living in filth, Is cheaper than a lie, To spend everyday, living in guilt, I think I'd rather die I've found the sinner in me, feeds off the sinner in you, Believe what you believe in and I'll believe in it too, I'm gonna fuck myself up, the only way I know how, I know what I am craving I know I need it now, I know that I need it now The price that we pay for living in filth, Is cheaper than a lie, To spend everyday, living in guilt, I think I'd rather die Taste god, touch faith, No give, Just take, x2 Time's up, can't wait, Yes it's too late The price that we pay for living in filth, Is cheaper than a lie, x2 To spend everyday, living in guilt, I think I'd rather die

He was such a beautiful soul, Now just a dead black hole x2 There is nothing left it's all gone to waste, Is it something I said that left a sour taste, I'm already dead, all I do is wait, I'm already dead, I'm already dead... He was such a beautiful soul, Now just a dead black hole x2 There is nothing left it's all gone to waste, Is it something I said that left a sour taste, I'm already dead, all I do is wait, I'm already dead... Save yourself from me x4 Born in a hearse, I'm stuck in reverse, I'm living a curse, it never gets better it only gets worse. He was such a beautiful soul, Now just a dead black hole There is nothing left it's all gone to waste, Is it something I said that left a sour taste, I'm already dead, all I do is wait, I'm already dead... Save yourself from me x4 Born in a hearse, I'm stuck in reverse, I'm living a curse, it never gets better it only gets worse. Save yourself from me
4.
I don't know what to think or feel, It's been so long I don't know what is real, All the things I see they fuck with my head, There's no escaping, there is no instead, This incurable addiction, This never ending drug, The cause of my affliction, There never is enough.
5.
Deathwish 01:55
Feel myself count to ten, I'm feeling trapped again, Hold my breath wish for for death, Looking for an end x2 Nobody knows what it feels like x3 To have this voice in the back of my head Burning bridges and building walls as every single thing around you falls, So self destructive you can't be trusted just looking all around at all the pain you cause, Self deprecating, self medicating looking for a way to get out of this hell, I'm suffocating my mind's stagnating, I've list the key to my own cell, Nobody knows what it feels like, to have this voice in the back of my head, Nobody knows what it feels like to be poisoned with dread, Nobody knows what it feels like, to have this voice in the back of my head, Nobody knows what it feels like, to wish you were dead. Feel myself count to ten, I'm feeling trapped again, Hold my breath wish for for death, Looking for an end x2 Nobody knows what it feels like x3 To have this voice in the back of my head
6.
Leave me with my reflection, As I dwell in retrospection, An empty chest, no heart beats here, I cannot rest, consumed with fear, Struggling to find meaning, From the depths that you're receding, Lack of trust, self disgust, Full of hate and sick with lust, Enough is enough, An emptiness fills the void and silences the noise, You can't escape the things you've done, You cannot stand what you've become, I'm better off alone, that I've always known, I'll only bring you down and fuck you up, I've been here before, enough is enough, Enough is enough
7.
Anhedonia 01:43
I'm just trying to escape, By any means necessary, How much more can I take, I guess I'll see you in the mortuary, Staring at the ceiling, Lying on the floor, Curled up in the corner, I've never felt so sore, Take away this pain, I'm desperate for some feeling, So just one single day, Can maybe have some meaning, This life of excess is all I've ever known, I'm different from the rest, I'll always be alone.
8.
Stripped 03:55
Stripped of everything you had, But they didn't take the pain away, You've given everything you had, Now you've got nothing left to say, When all the false becomes true, You realise that there is nothing for you, You want it all to go away, But there's a reason that it's here to stay, This suffering is smothering, Everything that you're meant to live for, Discovering recovering, All your sins and what you exist for, Another day, another daze, Another feeling that you can't erase, Everyday feels the same, The only thing that you can feel is pain.
9.
Sinner 06:35
Entertain me, Implicate me, Complicate me, Obligate me, I am a disease doing as I please, Save yourself from me, Save yourself from me, My mind is fucked up and it gets worse every day, Each line i've sucked up it just makes me more depraved, Just wanna fuck you it's your taste that I have craved, I am a sinner and I know I can't be saved, I want it, Just one taste, As I unlace, Face to face, Your secret place, I am a disease doing as I please, Save yourself from me, Save yourself from me, My mind is fucked up and it gets worse every day, Each line i've sucked up it just makes me more depraved, Just wanna fuck you it's your taste that I have craved, I am a sinner and I know I can't be saved, Save yourself from me, I want it, I lick my lips, I can't resist, I'd slit my wrists, For one taste of this I am a disease doing as I please, Save yourself from me, Save yourself from me, My mind is fucked up and it gets worse every day, Each line i've sucked up it just makes me more depraved, Just wanna fuck you it's your taste that I have craved, I am a sinner and I know I can't be saved.

Choke 02:48
Kicking and screaming, I'm barely breathing, Consciousness leaving, I'm fading away, Desperate for feeling, searching for meaning, Skin wont stop bleeding, I'm picking the scabs, Holding me down, choking me out, Showing me how, removing all doubt, I'll be your bitch and I'll scratch the itch, And I'll tear the stitching that's keeping us together now, Kick me and beat me, you can't defeat me, Think you can beat me, I'll beat up myself, Reason with madness, just feed the sadness, Check into hell as I'm choking myself, Holding me down, choking me out, Showing me how, removing all doubt, I'll be your bitch and I'll scratch the itch, And I'll tear the stitching that's keeping us together now.
12.
Avolition 03:03
13.
Dirty 04:31
You think you have it all but then you get some more, Realise that living has no worth no more, It doesn't matter how much that you think you have, All that matters to you is what you once had, How can you be clean when you're so dirty on the inside, How can you breathe, choking on these lies, Lying to yourself again like nothing's wrong, Trying to protect yourself now it's all gone, It's never been so good it's never been so bad, All that matters to you is what you once had, How can you be clean when you're so dirty on the inside, How can you bleed when your veins are running so dry, How can you see when your vision is so blind, How can you breathe, choking on these lies, I think I've hit the limit, think I've hit the wall, The only way is down now, watch me fall, My lack of self control has got the better of me, How can you sell your soul when you gave it away for free, How can you be clean when you're so dirty on the inside, How can you bleed when your veins are running so dry, How can you see when your vision is so blind, How can you breathe, choking on these lies, I am so dirty, On the inside.
14.
These are the feelings you could never feel, This is the damage that you cannot heal, This is the deal that you could never seal, So used to lying now nothing is real, These are the sights that you will never see, I will erase all of your memories, All of your thoughts and everything you had, I'll throw it all away like nothing happened, Peel the skin back, See the pain, Wind the film back, Again and again, Whispered voices, Unsound choices, You can't avoid this, You will destroy this, You keep on lying to me, I'll keep on lying to you, We've got no self respect, We might as well be through, This little thing that we had, It might as well mean nothing, When all the feelings are dead, You're desperate to feel something, Peel the skin back, See the pain, Wind the film back, Again and again, Whispered voices, Unsound choices, You can't avoid this, You will destroy this, This world has found itself another scar, This world has seen you for just what you are, I'll always take things, take things way too far, I prayed for the end now look where we are, Peel the skin back, See the pain, Wind the film back, Again and again, Whispered voices, Unsound choices, You can't avoid this, You will destroy this, You'll destroy this.

THANKS:
The Armalyte massive, Giles Moorhouse and Jules Seifert for their continual support at all times and total belief in the project. Jules Seifert (again) for the post-production and mastering of the album (Epic Audio Media). Seanen Middleton for the fantastic artwork without which, the album wouldn't be remotely what it is visually and Vlad McNeally for pulling it all together layout-wise. Claire Coulton for the never ending work with PR, original album pics and always steering the project in the right direction with the utmost faith in it. My main men and what brings DROWND to life - Paul Traveller, Rich Watson and Sam Forrester - big things to come with the help of these talented dudes who both look the part and sound phenomenal, respect, boys. Joseph Delaney and Matt King of SORT who produced the 'Sinner' video - thanks for opening up our eyes stylistically and pretty much giving us the confidence for the image of the band. This was a pretty solitary project in terms of writing and producing the album thanks to Covid, so there seems to be a distinct lack of 'thanks' but to fire off some more we have: Brooke Moorhouse, Cassyette, Kanga, Jagz Kooner, The Horrors, The Joy Thieves, Seethign Akira, Ruinizer, Ilker at ReGen and lastly and by no means least, everyone who has been a fan and supported DROWND, from buying records, seeing our shows, streaming the music, buying merch - anyone who has given us the time of day, your support is greatly appreciated - thank you all. Joe.
