Another Midnight

Is this thing on?
The picture's skewed
I don't know if I see you
Connection's gone
We're losing touch
We've gone back to the dial-up
We've been so lonely in this space
I know the outcome of the race
Leave us, surely there's next time
Show us, surely there's next time
Feel us, surely there's next time
Love us, surely there's next time
The time is gone
The day is through
And memory's a choice that can please you
A different pace, but the same shape
I've got a job so I hate it
There's got to be another midnight
There's got to be another midnight
There's got to be another midnight
There's got to be another midnight, yeah
It's a halt, a pause
Stopping all the wrong cogs
A static wheel
It's rust and I feel
I'm closing in
I'm closing in
I'm closing in
I'm closing in
Leave us, surely there's next time
Show us, surely there's next time
Feel us, surely there's next time
Love us, surely there's next time

Around the Fog

The view
The haze
Smokestack eyes ablaze
With black
With grey
All that's in between
We clear the mist
Breathe the clouds away
Stay here
My love
Concussed and feeling strange
I've been looking around the fog
Can't stoke the flame
With smiles on your face
If skies are blue
The music is confused
Can't be looking around the fog
Won't be looking around the fog
To feel the pain
To wade through it again

When the heartbeat slows
You cannot hesitate
The mildew grows
Outside the footprint holes
Steeped in fright
Out of your mind
Anywhere we go
That's fine
When the heartbeat slows
The eyes they operate
A different code
And the gaze grows cold
Steeped in light
Out of your mind
Anywhere we go
We're fine
The gap between two thoughts, it shows
The tide's gone out the sea is low
The gap between two thoughts, it shows
The tide's gone out the sea is low

Curious to See

It's all on the wire
It's all on the can
They're sending words over
We wait on our hands
The reflex instinctual
A jerk of the knee
The outwards sensations
Keep the innards clear
We've heard all the news
We've seen what will be
Don't you sink any faster
The rains are coming
To wait out the weather
Is to lay down and die
It's the mother and father
It's the vice that will last
Wipe that smile from your face
Because the fool is complete
Take the horns of dilemma
And impale the beast
I'm curious to see
Yeah I'm curious to see
I'm curious to see
Yeah I'm curious to see

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.
