We wander around. Missing our goal. Only a few tried. 
Some of us died of being controlled. Only a few cried. 
Life is cheap. Life is mean. Sucking us dry ’til we bleed
. The sun sets right before us the future is bright

 The sun sets before us. The future is bright
. The sun sets before us. 

Gave up on our dreams. Not to be mean. If only we could try
 Living our life. As hard as it seems. If only we could try. 
Not to admit. No finger on it And it’s dragging us down…
 but with the sunset right before us the future is bright

 The sun set before us. The future is bright
. The sun set before us.

 The future is bright. We wander around. Missing our goal. Only a few tried 
Some of us died of being controlled. Only a few cried
 The sun set before us. The future is bright.

Shit Day 03:05
Should I wake up to do you right? While I woke up to have a shit day Nothing makes me feel alright Yeah I woke up to have a shit day Let me tell it to you Let me yell it to you I woke up to have a shit day Nothing makes me feel alright Yeah I woke up and had a shit day I’m alive. I’m alive But I will blame that on you Don’t you love me love me? I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive But I will blame that on you Should I wake up to do you right? While I woke up to have a shit day Nothing ever felt alright So I woke up to have a shit day Let me tell it to you Let me yell it to you I woke up to have a shit day Oh Don’t we all have a fit? Well I’m fitting right in 
On our terms to exist Should I wake up to do you right? While I woke up to have a shit day Nothing makes me feel alright Yeah I woke up to have a shit day

We’re all human after all
 We don’t know what we’re doing
 I’ve had it 
So rather than just keeping up
 I’m standing my ground
 We’re all human after all
 Somehow we wilI get thru it.
 I’m speechless
 Our privilege enlightened
 And nothing else but failure reflects in the mirror 

We’re all human after all
 You just missed your wake up call We’re all human after all
 
 When we fall I’m taking you along! If you insist just a little bit. I won’t disappoint you. 
 No I won’t disappoint you.

Not too much missing out on life itself I need dominant. Dominant tracks You’re my drug. You’re my head. No brain I love it to watch While you drive me insane Had no intention but came seconds to late Whatever I’ve done has been going to waste Lost. Left in a breeze. Whatever you want Cause I will do what you please It’s been a long long way home It’s been a long long way home Without a blink I’ve framed you right in You’re out of luck while the deck is still fortuning me You start to tear. I’ve wept for less Now you watch
I’ll give you my best Doesn’t anyone love me? Doesn’t anyone care? Even if my life’s a joke I’m here and I will do do do you some more
5.
It’s all the same with somebody else 
The same old song over and over again 
Everything is bright. Then everything bends 

We’re old and new 
We’re back and forth
 Bless me for me
 Or dig me in some more

 It’s all the same with somebody else 
We’re all confused but no one has a chance 
Everything hurts and everything ends

 All that you
 Told me dear
 Waves around
 And ends up here
 I sucked you in 
I go on without you 

We’re old and new 
We’re back and forth
 Bless me for me
 Or dig me in some more

 

We had an all time low
 I’ll see you again
 We had an all time low
 I’ll see you again
 Carry on 
 See you again 
I’ll go on 
I’ll see you again
 So see you 
Again

Petty Profit 03:07
You’re running circles, but that feels just fine How many more days gone waste, will do you right The clock I have turned sick While you stay behind, I might benefit quick You’re a bright kid, messing up So don’t give me, no don’t you give me that look Worked off my ass to fit So I might benefit quick Wait! Too long is too long You might benefit quick Wait 
I benefit quick Wait 
I benefit quick

 
I benefit quick Wait

Fought for rights Fought for wrongs That’d be sick to have knit them right on I’m a lover I’m a hater I’m fucking up But I’m not giving I’m final And I’m cheering You say bite me Well I will be there An eye for an eye is charming The rougher aspects of love I love it Everyone here has his price Mine is just bare-fucking low Spare me all your hissy fits Fuck you I’m marching on You’re all fucking up While I’m topping up We’ll never be the same Man we’re equal as shit
 We’ll never be the same Man we’re equal as shit

You know how you could play me out and pull me in
 You know I’d need to know right now when you might will
 You better love me quick I have my heart on hold 
I keep my nightmares cold 
So who are you to tell 
You’re never loved, yeah what the hell? 
You better love me quick I’ll just suck it in
 Best will be when I’ll just suck it in
 You better love me quick You know I’d need to know right now what you might feel You know I’d need to know right now! You better love me quick I’ll just suck it in 
Best will be when I’ll just suck it in

I found you smoking on the roof 
 As if I knew to find you there 
 We’ll keep some love around it I feel you shaking thru my bones 
 But I can’t shake it on my own 
We’ll keep some love around it 
 I’ve seen the floor 
Yeah you praised it well
 Why don’t you swim it better? Go and swim it better! Dive. Dive. Dive. Go and swim it better
! I wear a mask just like you do 
I wear a mask but not for you 
 We’ll keep some love around it I’d pick you if I had to choose 
You know I'll never be of use 
We’ll keep some love around it You know you're worth a million to me 
 But here I stand with my arms open 
All I should become
 All I should confess 
It’s estranging from me 
 For a moment 

 There’s only so much left to lose. I’ve seen the floor 
Yeah you praised it well
 Why don’t you swim it better? Go and swim it better! Dive. Dive. Dive. Go and swim it better
!

Cheating me on. Breaking me down. [I’m hearing]
 “People changin'”. Well, I don’t mind. 
 Enjoying the fun while it lasts,
 I emphasise.
 Time will set up boundaries between us and I think it is perfectly fine.

 [Un]fortunate youth! [Un]fortunate youth! [Un]fortunate youth! 
Gone. 

False compromise of acting uptight. 
 Worried for the man growing up to be me while I’m looking behind. 
“People changin'” 
“People changin'” 
And when… I’ll be bleeding. Hiding that grin. 

 [Un]fortunate youth! [Un]fortunate youth! [Un]fortunate youth! 
Gone. When I see you around. Yes I'm flattered But I can't commit now.

about

The K. Liège, Belgium

Rock band from Liège & Gent, influenced by ‘90s indie-rock bands, carrying that sound and work ethic further into the nillies. With a new line up and a brand new killer album “Amputate Corporate Art” the band perfectly fits the row of modern acts as Idles, Show Me The Body, Girl Band and Pissed Jeans to name a few. Merging noise-rock with a great taste for pop melodies makes their greatest force. ... more
