Hello you've been forgetting something
Blood flows
Into an open hand
Skin folds hey we've all been there
Take your time but here comes a big surprise
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
Hello you've been regretting nothing
Dressed to kill
Delineate the sand
Classify according to their contents
Water rises and here comes a big surprise
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
Red or blue
You're gonna die
You're gonna die

Truth

Eye for an eye
You for a you
Myopic eyes
They are true
They are true
They are true
Lie for a lie
Sleep for a sleuth
Myopic eyes
They are truth
They are truth
They are truth
Deny through the night
Make your excuse
Smoke dances high
Day is truth
Day is truth
Day is

Yesterday, I came back from Scarborough
Yesterday, I walked back home
Eyes of flame, my girl back in Scarborough
Tears of rain, my girl at home
Scratching at your window
Don’t you want to know how far
So today, I’ll go back to Scarborough
Cards away, I can’t stay home
Gentle sway, when I came back from Scarborough
No more rain, my girl’s last song
Scratching at your window
Don’t you want to know how far

Get My Money Back

I can see the steam rising off our backs
I’ve gotta get out of here and get my money back
I can feel the sun’s burning all our backs
I’ve gotta get out of here and get my baby back
I can see a storm’s coming to fill mud cracks
time to get out of here and get my money back
I can feel the first drops on our backs
time to get out of here and get my baby back

Lay me down to rest
Need to look my best
When I'm on my own
Weighing on my chest
Lest I be alone
The more that you know
Now under arrest
Though not made of stone
Are you like the rest
Are you like the rest
Leaf of stone
Leaf of stone
Are you not impressed
Like a leaf of stone
When you look your best
Lay me down to rest
Like a leaf of stone
As a palimpsest
As a palimpsest
Leaf of stone
Leaf of stone

Sympathetic Love
04:56
|

|
If I reflected you, I wouldn't want at all
I'd stall and borrow your thoughts
I'd fall in and out again
I'd fall out of love
Don't feed back
My sympathetic love
If I knew what to do, I wouldn't reflect at all
I'd smash and shatter your thoughts
I'd fall in and out again
I'd fall out of love
Don't feed back
My sympathetic love

Compare The Feelings

Tell me how it makes you feel
Prick my fingers
It feels red
Burn my hands upon what you said
Scar my feet on the thorn bed
Listen to me
I hear darkness, it sounds red
Burn my hands but now the sun’s dead
Wash my feet in the flames red
Listen to me
Tell me how it makes you feel
Blind is the confidence in my head
Lock away the thoughts that you read
You said confidence is blinding
Listen to me
I hear lies and they sound red
Burn all my words with the thorn bed
Wash my soul in the flames red
Listen to me
Tell me how it makes you feel
Now I know how it feels
I want to compare the feelings

I lock out the night
Draw the curtains closed
Hold the windows tight
Hope the latches hold
See reflective light
These unspoken words ring
Through my mind
Forget your fright
For it won’t last I’m told
Sort out your mind
Let the night unfold
Fuzz and delight
And trips into the cold
Fool my mind

Fingerless Brisbane, Australia
Fingerless have been sitting down at the banquet since 2009, sampling small plates of acid-folk in oyster sauce, deep-fried
rock ‘n’ roll, steamy soundscapes, dried and salted neo-psychedelia and fresh electronica.
Washed down with an ice cold medieval folk ballad and maybe a dungeon-synth liqueur or two, the Meanjin based band can’t quite put their finger on their favourite flavour just yet.

supported by 13 fans who also own “Life, Death, & Prizes”
Slow-burning, sax-enhanced groovy psychedelic rock with warm male vocals counterpointed by female ones ranging from the biting to the spiritual to the tribal. Makes me think of a lighter and way more transcendental version of early Goat. However, looking at the other comments, it seems that this music has got the power to bring to mind very different things to different people, and this means that there's definitely something unique and great going on.
