Written, performed, engineered, and produced by David Lawrie Mastered by Andy Wilson Music video by HARUKO Featuring Alesoun Lyrics: Yes, I know I’m wrong to feel this way, And now I realise I have to extract a little more, And repeat it every day. Yes, I know I’m wrong to feel this way, But if I ever fall short, or if I question why, I’d give you one good reason For one big lie. You’d tell me “Don’t come any closer, Or look me square in the eye, Because people can’t change And neither can you, nor I.” You’d tell me “Don’t get any closer, Or look me dead in the eye, Because nothing’s going to change, And I’m in your mind,” And these are your modes of violence. It never takes much for you to destroy the silence. Your angelical lies; a front to disguise How riotous ineffable harm, presented so calmly’s quietus. We couldn’t get far because of your modes...

I’ve less than nothing left to give for feeding your disdain, And now I always fall short, and always question why, So give me one good reason For living your big lie. You’d tell me “Don’t come any closer, Or look me square in the eye, Because people can’t change And neither can you, nor I.” You’d tell me “Don’t get any closer, Or look me dead in the eye, Because nothing’s going to change, And I’m in your mind,” And these are your modes of violence. (I know I’m wrong to feel this way) It never takes much for you to destroy the silence. (And now I realise I have to extract a little more) Your angelical lies; a front to disguise how riotous (I know I’m wrong to feel this way) Ineffable harm, presented so calmly’s quietus. (But if I ever fall short, or if I question why I’d give you one big reason for one big lie) We couldn’t get far because of your modes of violence. It never takes much for you to destroy the silence.
