about

The third single from Age Of Distraction is monstrous and melodic! It sees the return of Charlie Bramald on lead vocals, once again joining songwriter John Cook (guitars), Mark Gatland (bass) and Dom Bennison (drums, keys and production duties). No one wins if no one lies...

lyrics

I used to count on you
While you were keeping score
A simple game of numbers
All my indiscretions accounted for
Every moment made to measure
One by one we weigh the cost
Tip the scales in your favour
Sense of balance is all but lost

Believe what you want to believe
But I’m not your enemy
There’s no turning back for us
The lines have long been crossed
You turned the world against me
That’s not the real me

Your words stick to me like shadows
Sneaking by my side (Shadows by your side)
Twisted replicas of me
Misconstrued by your design (Fiction blurs the lines)
In this game of whispers
No one wins if no one lies

I’m reaching out to you
Across the battleground
Can we negotiate a truce
In this war of words and sound
What you see is what you get
So what do you think it is you see?
Distractions making demons
Where the angels used to be

You think you’ve knocked me from my cloud
But I let you keep me down
Looking through a single eye
Won’t change what you perceive
I’m not trying to deceive
That’s not the real me

Your words stick to me like shadows
Sneaking by my side (Shadows by your side)
Twisted replicas of me
Misconstrued by your design (Fiction blurs the lines)
In this game of whispers
No one wins if no one lies

Breakdown in communication
Deceit becomes an addiction
Breakdown in communication
Deceit becomes an addiction

Your words stick to me like shadows
Sneaking by my side (Shadows by your side)
Twisted replicas of me
Misconstrued by your design (Fiction blurs the lines)
In this game of whispers
No one wins if no one lies
They stick to me like shadows
Twisted replicas of me
In this game of whispers
No one wins if no one lies
