Absence makes the heart grow wild And I’ve grown wild obsessing over you You seem to find yourself Top of the spire with god himself praying to you And we do the devil’s work Enjoying life and ridding ourselves of hurt The dirt under your nails It’s screaming your divinity Bordom breeds the devil’s child I could spend my life exorcising you (And You) You seem to find yourself Mocking anyone that disapproves Play your cards into my hand I got your tricks right up my sleeve Believe me when I speak If I’ve got you then I’ve got all I need

Resignation 01:33
Please accept my resignation I fell down and I got lost We were thick a thieves But even thieves agree there's a line you shouldn't cross My blood navigates my veins Breathing life into my heart It's what you used to do before your truth fell through And we just fell apart I don't accept your resignation From the blame that's yours to bear It's too loud in here to hear your lies career Through the trees, and over the edge When the silence rests and there's a hole in my chest Don't expect to hear me say I'm sorry you're gone When alls said and done It's you who did this to me.

Get In Line 01:23
Well they're wringing me dry until there's nothing left And I burn a hole right through my chest The bible drops onto the verse I've gotta know when the hearse will arrive And they're leading me out by the collar and cuffs I've gotta know which part hurts the most The bible drops onto the verse I've gotta know what's coming first GET IN LINE Your gods have spoken GET IN LINE Your pure words are chosen GET IN LINE You have nothing left You stand there bleeding and clawing at your chest GET IN LINE The ending is near GET IN LINE Apocalypse please It's time to decide where your loyalties lie GET IN LINE

Driving on the speedway looking at the skyline Dreaming of chocolate balloons The pleasant soldiers dancing on the window Are hoping we'll be home soon Dragons on a light wind smiling from their green trees Are learning to go without Because the grizzlies ate all the fungus To chase away their doubts
5.
When we look back all we'll see is ashes Smoking like rubble in forgotten wars Hold your tongue because I'm not through with you I feed up my anger through a beating heart You're better off alone Is all they ever had to say Well I don't concern myself The troubles of yesterday

about

The Snippets England, UK

The Snippets met whence sipping cocktails onboard the S.S. Nancy Dillalleeoh. Polite tippings of fine silk top hats soon turned into talk of mathematics and, naturally, music. The four there and then knew they were bonded for life. They called themselves The Snippets, and have since written and released the EP 'Abbreviations', which has been released to remarkable industry acclaim. ... more
