Omission 03:52
Omission Where’d you get the nerve from Was it something they said You call out the liar The one in your head Dunno where you came from I don’t care where you go The sooner the better Cause your on your own And I think you know Wipe off your war paint You’re already done It ended as soon as It stopped being fun You spark a piece of my mind I try to forget You look in the mirror Don’t like what you see The truth of reflection You wanna see me

Left my haze in the ash tray Audio, let it resonate Blue lights trail On top of the ceiling Got my haze from the ash tray And I can’t get up I’ve had enough Im sick and tired of feeling so goddamn rough The sun comes up And were having a good time The sun comes up and we were feeling so fine Burnt out from the night before Face against the cold tile floor Resurrection in the afterglow I don’t want it anymore
3.
Graceless 03:58
Swimming in my brain storm Cant get out Spinning round in circles Wont slow down These waves of fear won’t break me Tsunami crashing in my memory These words just won’t come out I drown myself in doubt Picking up the pieces of my mind I don’t want another sleepless night Looking through my mind and I can’t find Where I used to go to spend my time

Hush 03:20
Red, she said A single sign to to tell the ways that keep us Call to arms, dancing in the moonlight spinning in the sun Indecision, I wont it let it bury me Rob me of myself again, again This purging its a secret I don’t own Save me from myself this time, this night City lights, the glow and hum makes everyone a star Hush, don’t speak, come fan the flames, the embers of desire
5.
Moloko 03:56
I seek you out so I can disappear To feel your golden arms, so insincere A vision through a lens, 10,000 poison pens Wont give anything of myself no more, no more I can feel it Feel it running through my blood Once you see it You’ll never have enough Can you feel it? Feel it running through your blood? I watch the sun, I watch it drown Outside a golden ocean I found A simple trail of dreams, that pulled me at the seams Wont give anything of myself no more, no more

about

The debut EP from Paper Tigers ‘Graceless’ was born out of an intense period of introspection. A deep dive into the psyche of vocalist Hayley Norton and guitarist/songwriter Michael Smyth. The red thread that runs throughout the EP is one of how internal and external forces impinge upon your world and your psyche to make you feel graceless. This takes many forms from looking for happiness in the wrong places (‘Blue Light Trails’) to battling an omnipresent internal monologue (‘Graceless’) or even a partner (Moloko). The EP became a lightning rod for this torrent of intense emotion and in doing so served as a vehicle of catharsis. Within the EP there is no redemptive state, no resolution to questions thrown back while staring into the mirror, it’s a scream that isn’t heard but a scream that’s intoned together.
