Take everything that you own
Throw it into the fire
The rats will inherit what's left
They'll decorate and remodel
These rooms that were once
Where we rested our heads
Have crumbled and crashed to the ground
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
Knocked off the king from his throne
Called a cheat and a liar
It's true but I'm much better dressed
Fashioned pain from another
These beds that were once
Where we nurtured our young
Have broken and bent from the love
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
Bridge
So the time will come
When you ask yourself "What have I done?"
There's a place in hell for your friends
We are all doomed
And we are all doomed
And we are all doomed
And we are all doomed
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
We won't leave till the roof caves in
Just stay
(I won't give up, I won't fall)
We won't sleep till the lights burn out
Just stay
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall
We won't give up, we won't fall
(Just stay)
We won't give up, we won't fall

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
