Missing how I used to be Tone of the teenage me Fire would burn a hole Through the fabric of the week Creep of the days Sticking in veins I have a doubt I’m not the best Flooding my chest Falling to blank Back to the same Energy slips out through The cracks that I have made So tired, I think I’m done So tired, I think I’m done So tired, I think I’m done So tired, I think I’m done Lay me down, wake me up It’s your turn, give me a break On the lake of a heartburn Stacks of this, traps of this Positive energy Feel like an ice cold propofol Flow like a nice cold propofol Come like an ice cold propofol Flow like a nice cold Nice cold Nice nice nice nice nice nice Nice nice nice nice nice Cold cold cold cold cold cold Cold cold So tired I think I’m done Nice nice nice nice nice nice Nice nice nice nice nice Cold cold cold cold cold cold Cold cold So tired I think I’m done Lay me down, wake me up It’s your turn, give me a break On the lake of a heartburn Stacks of lists, traps of this Positive energy Feel like a nice cold propofol Flow like a nice cold propofol Flow like an ice cold propofol Come like an ice cold So tired I think I’m done So tired I think I’m done So tired I think I’m done So tired I think I’m So tired I think I’m done So tired I think I’m done Tired tired tired tired tired tired (Nice cold propofol) So tired I think I’m done Nice nice nice nice nice nice (Nice cold propofol) So tired I think I’m done

about

These are the first two tracks of our upcoming EP, 'Welcome Back To My Channel'.

"Burnout is a collage of the way people think when they are depressed. We liked the idea of singing about propofol, a general anaesthetic, and the song reflects that soft numbness. There’s a kind of release in admitting you’re burning out, the song has a strangely uplifting feeling to us. As we wrote darker lyrics than we had done previously, the songs got faster and more upbeat, like we were finding the fun again in making music."

"The Basics Are Coming Back was written first as an instrumental. We produced it in Wales, having fun dancing around to it with a crazily beautiful view of the summer sun setting over sheep lying down in fields. Maybe it was the lack of running water there that first inspired the line ‘the basics are coming back’. It’s meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. But we love that way lyrics gain depth as you repeat them in a song. Whenever we listen to it the line takes on a different meaning. In a way this song feels like the beginning of a fresh start - a return to positivity. But then it’s also about the way we obsessively chase the fads that are supposed to make us feel better. Losing our heads trying to live our lives in specific but fleeting ways."
