about

A live studio recording of our track "Devil's Snare" from our EP "You Disgust Me But I Can Relate."

lyrics

Untouched image
hands entwined
Our selves our future
We held close
Together we laugh
We could always play pretend
A self confessed lie
A truth to you and me

An act of kindness
pretending like you care
A simple thing
but it doubles as a devils snare
Wish I could escape
But I keep on tumbling down
this situation, Patience,
Held against the ground

Sometimes I hate being alone
But the crowds of people scare me
On no ones malicious intent but my own, I separate myself from society

Bury me under my feelings, create a mask out of my fragmenting memory. It scares me sometimes, how messed I can be. I am frightened of not waking the next morning, I am frightened and I will hurt myself, lock me up, please don't through away the key, I am frightened by loneliness ...I am okay I swear

What should be a happy place
Is where sadness abounds
It's sorta melancholic
No longer safe no longer sound
If I try to force myself
to awake from this fever dream
Can I put the blame on you
Pretend not too be me

Is it worth it
Am I okay
Am I actually worth anything

Cause I don't see the point in this
Of going on, this hopelessness
I want to die, to fade away
To fade...to fade

Am I selfish? I guess I am. I thought I was getting better. I thought I had finally found a way out! A way that didn't involve hurting myself or others.... But it seems that as always the way out has been blocked. Once again I am caved in.

It feels like it had caved in on top of me, like I am being crushed... Crushed by... Well I would like to call it sadness, pain, anything. But I can't, I am being crushed by nothingness and an overwhelming sense of loneliness. Which is fucked in its own way. I have good friends, even if I don't have many. I still feel lonely though. I feel like a shell. I peel like my insides, they are burning to dust and the light at the end of the tunnel is hell.

about

Nap Wars Gold Coast, Australia

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.
