Second Hand

Sign's in a different language
But still the same road
Singing song to navigate
But I lost the tune long ago
Well this feels like a sickness
But not really a shock
Picture the alternative
I can't find the words to work it out
You fail to remember
You always forget
And this tragedy is second hand
It's chewed up
It's in the grain and it's in the sand
I've heard this noise before
When madness is stretched this tight
It snaps in your face
And if these thoughts would leave my mind
I would be alone in this place
Well this feels commitment
To what I don't know
Fulfilment drops, desire grows
I feel the watch and lose control
You fail to remember
You always forget
And this tragedy is second hand
We're chewed up
It's in the grain and it's in the sand
I've heard this noise before
You fail to remember
You always forget
You fail to remember
You always forget
You fail to remember
You always forget
You fail to remember
You always forget

Electric Sleep

We're the storm in a china cup
We're the noise that will wake you up
Lifetimes in star signs, cosmic minds in troubled times
You warned me, you told me
We're the thoughts running through your mind
We're the angst taking up your time
We're cause the cause of this electric sleep
We're the jolts running head to feed
Star signs in lifetimes, troubled times for cosmic minds
You fucked me, you floored me
The cough that won't let up
The itch that just won't stop
The eyes that you need to rub
The piss that you should have done

Vital Sparks Melbourne, Australia
Headed by Glaswegian-born Andrew Stark, Vital Sparks are a five-piece alt-rock band based in Melbourne. The band’s self-produced songs take cues from jangly post-punk acts, 90’s slacker rock, and the sullen tail end of Britpop.
