Another call placed
No answers
Only a flicker of doubt
Push it to the back of my mind
I should not have come here
I swear I saw a spectre
A fleeting memory
Of a child, crying
Why did you leave me?
Are you afraid to see
whats behind the glass?
What stands in your way?
What stands in your way?
Behind the barrier is a dark place to be.
an unforgiving space
but I must not run away!
I must not run away!
Lights they flicker
I can’t help but
Feeling sicker
Filled with sonder
Why did you send for me
I guess you only use me
I cannot not run away now
I guess I’ll need to try
I can show you I’m worthwhile
I’m so frightened
I’m so scared
I won’t turn back
(Hey now)
Lights they flicker
(Don’t be scared)
I can’t help but
(Relax)
Feeling sicker
(I’ll be with you)
Filled with sonder
(You're fine?)
Lights they flicker
(That’s good for you)
I can’t help but
(Breathe in)
Feeling sicker
(It’s time to let go!)
Filled with sonder
(Now dear)
Lights they flicker
(Close your eyes)
I can’t help but
(Trust me…)
Feeling sicker
(…and walk!)

DILEMMA
04:24

Wake up
As this house gets darker, it’s harder to sleep
Come down
Under these sheets is where I rest my dreams
Drown it all
I can’t find another way
The night suffocates without the day
A decline we all face and despair
Feel the truths in the air getting harder to find
A mysterious hope that burns to hold
Burns to hold…..
This phone doesn’t ring for me
It rings because you want it too
The truth cuts sharp as a knife
I’m a coward hiding in plain sight
This fear makes me blind
This home wasn’t meant for you
I like it better in solitude
A language changing like a labyrinth
The walls are cold in your absence
But I’ve always hated summer
There’s no space here for you
There’s no space
You smother me, uncovering my soul
A burden so pervasive.
A guilt so abrasive
I don’t have control
yet another pretence to spur or console me
Your Innocence is persuasive
Whispers so invasive
A trap laid in the darkness
Waiting for me to walk right in
Like driving through haze
I can’t see through your cloudy eyes
A game played between friends
We all share the same disguise
There’s a smokescreen between us.
(I created this cloud)
A hummingbird floating in the distance.
(a silent witness)
A mocking bird with out a song….
Protection, We all hide within a shell.
Projection, We all paint our own portraits.
Reflection, We all poke holes in the mirror
Introjection!
I regret treating you that way.
You stood tall, even in that state
I was wrong. But being alone… is all I’ve ever known.
This phone doesn’t ring for me it’s screaming at the two of us
There’s no space for two I’m confined to this solitude
I’ve got open wounds from the fear that consumes me
The cowardice lies steal the whites from my eyes
(There’s no space! There’s no space! There’s no space! Nooooo!)
The walls are closing in on the few of us left
Our spines shift and define the distance kept
What empowers us devours us but we cannot see
The winter forest from the dying trees
But I’ve always hated summer……

RAIN ESCAPE

Alarm bells ring as I beat on the door to your heart.
Please rewind the tracks on this loop train line.
I’ve gotta go back.
Why do I run from I find above me?
(I’ve gotta go back)
Why do I bury myself in what’s beneath?
How can I escape?
Like A drill I grind my teeth
Why do I deserve this?
Poking holes in diamonds
Is this where I belong?
These images and horrors etched into my mind
Will there ever be a spring?
If you ask me, I have doubt
How can I escape?
Trapped beneath the Autumn Leaves
I don’t deserve this
Misty eyed, I’d rather hide
out in these hills.
Though I brought my baggage,
Its better than what I left behind.
Escape the sunrise
(You will find, we will fill the holes within you)
Help me to fly.
I can’t make up my mind.
(You will see shades of me that you never knew)
Out of all these colours in your silhouette of hope.
I prefer you dressed in Blue
Pink is not my favourite hue.
(I must decide, or cast it all aside.)
(Everything that I’ve done.)
God is in his heaven.
And all is well with the world.
(Where is my home?)
(Is this my home?)

ZERO

You are pathetically encumbered.
Cowardice is only second best to the likeness of your father.
Pale Blue. A shade of envious green.
Loneliness and sheltered happiness only remains and upholds seams.
Zero
Paper angel on a kite string held by burning hands.
Absolute faith in my surrender.
Hands that still my sheltered heart.
Wake Up. Another morning.
The drop of the I.V. refracts the waking lighting.
Another unfamiliar ceiling.
I see my life like I was only dreaming.
She appears beside me again.
I am without purpose
No resolve to try
Theres no reason why you have to say goodbye
Don’t go swimming in the dead sea when your lungs are full of gold.
Exhale your stale breath. There’s more than doing what you’re told.
Why don’t you try and smile for me?
I can’t be alone and I mustn’t run away. I burnt my hands to free your sheltered heart.
Absolute faith in my surrender, you burnt your hands to free my sheltered heart.

SWEET
03:25

I like this
This feeling
I bit of calm
Pleasant peace of mind
The cool wind
Salty breeze
Watch the world change in hue
For a moment...
The world will be just you and me
If I could cast a spell
Something that could stop time
Would you take a moment with me?
Enjoy this catharsis
It'll be alright
They say...
It will be just fine
Your love came to me like a bad idea
Like white lightning in the night
Like a distant beacon
We found meaning in each others existence
Make a home on snowy hills
(We were feeling young)
Build a castle underwater
(Falling in love again)
Create a shelter in the stars.
(I want so much more)
Only a fool plants flowers on Mars.
(but i'm only a fool who plants flowers on Mars)
We both know how damaged we are
Even still I'll continue with you
How tangled is love
Like a wilted daisy

Will this angel heart satisfy you?
It's no surprise that you're a child after all
It's no surprise that you're a child
Red herring Shining. Dressed to impress
I know you always liked a girl in uniform
Your stare and gaze.. A strike to the face…
That’s two for you!
I will possess your heart.
In good faith. There's a predator at the altar.
(The white light in your eyes will forever be a mystery to me)
(In good faith, theres a predator at the alter.)
Don't make me laugh.
A red leaf. A red leaf lays over my heart.
Another tale… of unrequited love. ?
(A hole in the path of my tears)
A blind date at the bottom of the ocean.
The deeper we sink the darker it gets.
A turbulent ride on cynical tides.
Your chest is warm but your heart is absolute zero.
This ocean will rise once again, by your hand.
In good time every heart will be mine.
Finally, we’re alone tonight.
I saved the last dance only to deny you.
We’re alone tonight. In the moonlight.
Envy unlike you’ve ever seen.
I saved the last dance. Only to deny you!
You can paint my blue eyes green!
I’m the most precious jewel you’ve ever seen!
A White moon looking down on you!
A strike to the face!
That’s one for me….
And that’s two for you!
The white light in your eyes will forever be a mystery.
It’s no surprise that you’re a child after all.
It’s no surprise that you’re a child!

KISS TO KILL TIME
03:00

I wanna get away
I cannot help but hesitate
You shine like the sun
You blind my view
Kiss To Kill Time
Your fear belies the innocence you hold.
(innocence you hold)
But Do I know…
How I feel?
You helped me value my life.
You gave me reason to fight.
I can’t help this.
(I want more. Running won’t stop this.)
How embarrassing.
What did you expect from me?
Do you even know…
How I feel?
(I want more. Running won’t stop)
I will sacrifice it all for you.
I’m sorry I don’t have time to kill.
That was stolen from the two of us.
An anniversary of memories I turned to dust.
The howling wind haunts me of the past
& the pain between us that’s come to last.
We will be together again.
We will be together.
I didn’t understand.
I didn’t know any better.
I was scared of who you were and what you are.
I don’t want to forget you but I can’t remember.
I’m afraid my weakness wrought this wound and scar.
Nothing can replace what was stolen from me
But I yearn to fill this emptiness that lay in lack of memory.
Is there hope or am I helpless?
I am no better than a coward.
I’m swimming in your lavender perfume.
I’m drowning in your lavender perfume.
I’m breathing in your lavender perfume.
I sleep in a whirlpool of thoughts.
In a bed that burns so bright.
It’s cruel but, in retrospect, in the end you were right.
I have no NERV at all.
How can I….
Make you fall for me?
All these feelings and desires for you…
Can you even see?
I can’t wait any longer for you…
to take the lead.
I should never kiss to kill time.
(I don’t know what you expect of me.)
(You’re always treating me differently.)
(Why do you act like this?)
(I should never kiss to kill time.)

Nap Wars Gold Coast, Australia
Dubbed as a “personal Post-Hardcore embrace” by Blank Mag GC, the Gold Coast based Australian band has often been noted as
reminiscent of Fall of Troy or At The Drive-In.
Named after the wars fought under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte in the early 1800’s, the bands namesake reflects its sound of organised chaos accurately.
