The Fallacy 04:43
Truth holds a certain mystique, The presence is the cause of pain. Truth told, at least with deceit, It has the decency to wait until its black again. There’s no doubt I’ve given in, You’re walking out at every whim, These excuses just wore too thin. The Fallacy; It’s part of our design. Our legacy is drifting away on the blood we’ve spilled tonight. The Fallacy; It’s part of our design. Our legacy is drifting away on the blood we’ve spilled tonight. Each time we sever the link, We’re stoic in our own resolve. Somehow, faced with the brink, I’ll never understand it but we can’t evolve. There’s no doubt we’ve given in, You’re walking out at every whim, These excuses just wore too thin. Giving, receiving, believe in every warning, I don’t mind cause I just can’t change a thing. Bleeding, but need a fresh start every morning, It’s hard wired so we just can’t change.

Unwound 04:42
Sally-Ann’s a burlesque girl, she’s pretty pert and fair. But she always looks miserable when she’s dancing in her underwear. If this is so suggestive, I suggest you try something else. Cause all our forms defined. We could be anything on earth. If this is how we chose to unwind, why are we so serious? All this daily grind, and it’s bearing down on us. If this is how you chose to unwind, why are we so serious? She took me to the backstage bar, to meet up with the band. The singer said he’s a philosopher, covered in his tears and angst. While he looked for deeper meaning, his girl just found someone else. She introduced an unkempt man, a teacher by the day, Who spent the evenings taking photographs of girls just half his age. Even when consensual, perhaps you should groom yourself?
3.
Lust, Love 04:15
These hands, the trigger fingers, Cause less damage than the voice. The words between the noise. Caught in the great enigma, We’re still doing this through choice. The words between the noise. But I can’t sleep, I can’t breath here. I can’t leave, so we’re left here you and I. It’s always lust, love, to last one standing, The only thing we’re missing is the happy ending. Such love, it starts with a fight, This is no way to apologise. Lust, love to last one standing. The only thing we’re missing is the happy ending. Such love, it starts with a fight, This is no way, no way to apologise. This skin, the calm demeanour, Masks a torrent I’d requite, With toxic love and spite. Two sides with one commitment, We don’t quite while we’re ahead. We’ll flog this till we’re dead.
4.
The venom in your voice reminds us both of darker days, When sophic youth mistook the truth for bitterness and pain. My body redefines regrets with every step it takes. Is there time for self-improvement or can I start again? Please don’t define me; My every fault, and all of my mistakes. Can’t we try to move beyond this chaos I create? You remind me to dwell upon these things I couldn’t change. Don’t define me. Please don’t define me. Please don’t define me. Remnants of the hurt I thought we’d learned to leave behind, Resurface through the things we do to pay us back in kind. Can we ever reach the point where both of us remain? Is there room for absolution or can we start again? The sinner and the sinned upon are wrenched apart at last, With some relief these gritted teeth could finally relax. Memories of suffering would strain our every cell. Is there time for resurrection, could you forgive as well?
5.
In your arms I’m hanging on to each breath, And I’m most disarmed when there’s very little peace left. It’s just the same with the things most prized; Values change when they’re out of sight and mind. Damn it all. These words between us quell the ground, Collapsing where we stand. Through this all, Those beating hearts between us quell the ground, Collapsing where we stand. Collapsing where we stand. I know you’d stay if only I could get through, How the world turns grey the moment I’m without you. When I open up to express myself, A pointless phrase falls off the shelf to die.
6.
It’s got to be hard when the earthquake strikes, To watch destruction on the news. The city’s apart, but how dare they die, And take my attention. Cause every single second’s all about you. A tragedy starts, you’re first to cry, As if it’s someone that you knew. Tears in the dark are just caustic lights. Your my attention, ‘Cause every single second’s all about you. Of course the world revolves round you; You’re generating gravity. And every day we’re through ‘cause every drama you’re my queen. But all the things we do, just never seem to be about me. A pity but it’s true, We’re reaching terminal velocity. A critical phrase on the bathroom wall, Your public can’t approve. A bitter display carved deep for all. This defamation, But every single second’s all about you.
7.
Reduced to our component parts, A treacherous disguise. Now it’s down to just the two of us, They plan for your demise. But while my heart runs your blood through these veins, We reinvent ourselves. We reinvent ourselves. Venom fires the blood beneath the shell. We reinvent ourselves. Severed we would taste defeat in time, But not when we combine, And reinvent ourselves. Seduced by our own suffering, There’s glamour in the fight. I tire of constant struggling, If only for tonight. But while my heart runs your blood through these veins, We reinvent ourselves.
8.
So who decides when the calm descends, and should we take this outside? You’re high on the carcinogens, but the smoke just gets in my eyes. Silence is a poor defence when you’re sleeping by my side, And then you say those words; I clipped your wings so you can’t fly. But when we fight, Our shadows play on the bedroom wall. Don’t you miss, that echo of what we had before? When did we start to address, The petty things instead of undressing ourselves? When we fight, There’s still a version of us. But only when we fight. Mutual truths that we fail to share, just get caught in the light. Each lie is it’s own affair with thought of a singular flight. The burdens that we seem to bear; diminishing delights. Uncomfortable silence descends so quickly. Silence is a poor defence when you’re sleeping by my side, And then you say those words; I clipped your wings. So when did we start to address the petty things Instead of undressing ourselves. When we fight. When we fight, There’s an echo of our trust, A version of us.

Miss Behave 04:42
You’re standing on the shards, Of a broken heart. Belonging to the guy who’ll now spend all night drinking at the bar. I don’t know what you did to make him feel like that, But as I take his place, I hope for my sake there’s no aftermath. When it’s always flesh that blurs the lines, The chance I’d learn from my mistakes, Vanish, vanish, vanish. When you draw your breath in sync with mine I’d call you little Miss Behave. I’m fighting with the urge, Of a full retreat, But I’m so confused with the overuse of the smoke machine. A cenotaph of fashion clings to every wall, But through the haze I’m caught in your gaze and it’s worth it all. If you don’t desist, How can I resist? It wouldn’t be polite. Though I comprehend there’s a consequence, I couldn’t alter this plight.

about

Method Cell UK

Founded in early 2008, UK based industrial synthcore unit Method Cell quickly gained a reputation as one of the most exciting, innovative electronic acts to emerge out of the UK underground scene. Combining high energy harmonics and acerbic lyrics with searing bass and beats, Method Cell prove there’s more to a club hit than swearing by numbers, and industrial doesn’t have to mean monotone. ... more
