Day Crew 02:03
Samantha came in and said I didn’t get paid Something got delayed I wasn’t meant to be hanging out with the day crew It just ended up that way And it feels like I’ve been waiting forever It’s been some crazy long afternoon It feels like I’ve been waiting forever Living my whole life in these five rooms Samantha looked up and said don’t get me started I thought there was nothing to fear Back in the beginning it was kind of unusual Then it got heavy and weird It feels like I’ve been waiting forever For my heartbeat to resume It feels like I’ve been waiting forever Holding my breath in these five rooms It feels like I’ve been waiting forever It’s been some crazy long afternoon It feels like I’ve been waiting forever Living my whole life in these five rooms It feels like I’ve been waiting forever For my heartbeat to resume It feels like I’ve been waiting forever In these five rooms

Fascinate me, assassinate me Desperate highs, cable ties Assassinate me, saturate me Give me time, give it a name Or give it away Whatever we had can’t wash away Set adrift in the night it comes back to you And it will multiply Catch your eye it’s just a reflection Welcome to the safety of bending away We just need to look away If you can’t sleep for what you’ve done If you don’t blink when you look into the sun Then I think there’s something wrong Catch your eye, it’s just a reflection Welcome to the safety of bending away We just need to look away Assassinate me, fascinate me, give me time We just need to look away Fascinate me, saturate me, give it a name We just need to look away

No past tense! Can’t we talk about a future song? We’ve been raking up the past too long And it’s kinda getting boring We know we can talk about it No past tense! I need some value from the present more Than every little thing I did before I’m purposely ignoring ’Cos they’re never gonna change us I need to change somehow They’re never gonna change us

Always late to the party Dragging that chain Watch the rewrites fade Games and accusations Tedious at best Is it worth the frustration? Yet, always someone with a story They’ll try to sell ya Up the river, or maybe it’s down? Someone’s gotta tell ya They’ve done it better Resent the implication Never let it rest Control the situation Always make them guess Fall into to silence Size up the tension Shy away from the attention Shy away from the attention Shy away from the attention Shy away from the attention Everybody listens and everybody knows Because everyone is watching Everybody stares because everybody’s judging Because everybody cares

Outers 02:52
Thought of you as I walked to school Came out of the blue Hadn’t thought of you much at all For a month or two Didn’t breathe, didn’t want to leave This second stuck on pause Filled with fear So scared I’d hear The sound of closing doors Can’t we go back to the way things were? Pretend that we didn’t get burned Can’t we go find all the things we lost Or left too late to learn? You hadn’t called much at all I didn’t know what to do I didn’t cry, I didn’t fight For a month or two Can’t we go back there and start again? I’ll try not to forget How will we know we’ve already been As close as we will get?

Campfire 04:13
I was in the forest I couldn’t find my campfire I was in the forest I couldn’t find my campfire I thought I was sleeping safely in my tent Something came and found me I don’t know where I went I was in the forest I couldn’t find my campfire I was in the ocean I couldn’t find the surface I was in the ocean I couldn’t find the surface I was out of courage, almost out of breath It ain’t so funny being out of your depth I was in the ocean I couldn’t find the surface I looked down and noticed I wasn’t holding your hand I looked down and noticed I wasn’t holding your hand I felt kinda frightened out there all alone I thought you said I wouldn’t make it on my own I looked down and noticed I wasn’t holding your hand

Why do you have to say Everything that comes to your brain? Not everybody needs to hear it Not everybody needs to know it Why do you have to explain Everything from day to day? This unending commentary Is it even necessary? Why do you leave If everything should stay the same? The only thing you believe Is that everything is temporary I feel strange, I don’t know how to explain Don’t explain, you won’t change The changes that we see happen so randomly You won’t change me What did they see? What did they leave? What did they mean? I feel strange and I don’t know how to explain Don’t explain, you won’t change The changes that we see happen so randomly You won’t change me What did they see? What did they leave? What did they mean? Don’t know how to explain Don’t explain I feel strange You won’t change Don’t know how to explain You won’t change me I feel strange

Deirdre 01:58
Deirdre, Deirdre This is getting hard to do You’re not the same person that you were When I first laid eyes on you Deirdre, Deirdre This is getting hard to guess How it started out so beautiful And ended up in such a mess Deirdre, Deirdre It started out so beautiful And ended up in such a mess We made lots of promises They’re so hard to keep One by one we tore them into little pieces Lots of stupid promises Enough to make you weep One by one we held them up And tore them into little pieces Deirdre, Deirdre This is getting hard to take I pass by my reflection And I feel like such a fake Deirdre, Deirdre I failed you so thoroughly Now it’s getting hard to understand Why you’re hanging around with me Deirdre, Deirdre It’s getting hard to understand Why you’re hanging around with me

And they said it could never be done Forty hours into the sun And my heart is a loaded gun Around the houses, the pouring rain I will run to beat the pain Never return or be the same Never return or be the same Around the houses, the burning pain Break my shoulders to carry the blame No one will speak my name again Empty my feelings like a machine Just a contender that never has been Burn it dead, break it clean Burn it dead, break it clean Empty my feelings like a machine Just a contender that never has been Burn it dead, break it clean Empty my feelings like a machine Just a pretender that never would be Burn it dead, break it clean Burn it dead, break it clean And they said it could never be done Forty hours into the sun And my heart is loaded gun Break it clean

How We Pay 03:23
I saw you before you went away forever I saw you before you went away I saw you before you went away forever Now you’re gone And I’m not feeling any better I’m starting to feel that you were maybe never mine Starting to feel that maybe you were never I’m starting to feel that you were maybe never mine I can’t believe that I could ever be that blind Can’t believe that I could ever be that blind I can’t believe What if we never got What if we never got to say goodbye? How did I not think how we’d get by without you? How did I not think how we’d get by? How did I not think how we’d get by without you? How we’d pay, and all the different ways we’d pay? How we’d pay How we’d pay, and all the different ways we’d pay How we’d pay and how would we afford it How we’d pay and all the different ways we’d pay How we’d say we should have fought it

Who are we to do this to each other? Who are we to throw ’round our weight? Who are we to fail and fail and fail At getting it straight? Who are we to deal out the punishments? Who are we to come on so mean? What’s with the malicious intent? Can’t we keep it a little bit clean? I moved from coast to coast to be with you You told me I was weak You told me I was desperate too If you wanted me to suffer I’d prefer a fist Who are we to do this to each other? How can we recover after doing all this? Who are we to do this to each other? And how can we be friends after this? I drove from state to state just to get close Told you all the things I’m insecure about the most You said I should be tougher, said I should grow up Who are we to do this to each other? You’ve gotta be kidding me if you think it’s gonna stop Who are we to do this to each other? How can we recover after doing all this? Who are we to do this to each other? How can we be friends after this?

They can try to find us I won’t be standing in their way They can try to fight us Won’t be listening to what they say They can try deny us There is nothing left for you here They can try define us The only thing that they’ve left is fear Who taught the hand that holds the gun? Constructs will only come undone What is the lesson, what is the lesson? Are you the system or the sum? They can try to find us I won’t be standing in their way They can try deny us Won’t be listening to what they say Who holds the hand that coddles the son? Are they the bullet or the gun? What is the lesson, what is the lesson? Everything’s starting to come undone What is the lesson, what is the lesson? Everything’s starting to come undone Are they the bullet or the gun?

about

Screamfeeder Brisbane, Australia

Screamfeeder are a 3 piece noisy pop / indie rock band from Brisbane Australia.

Lovers of loud and beautiful music since the day they were each conceived, they have been compared to all the greats; Husker Du, The Jam, GBV and The Who.

Comparisons aside they rock in their own unique / sublime / chaotic way.

Contradictions and dualities abound within Screamfeeder, and therein lies their beauty
