Strong discipline, gives me no adrenalin Efficient like few, think I'm coming down with the flu Always on time, it blows my mind Hey, hey, hey! Checkmark your list, kinda makes me pist Obnoxiously happy, making me feel crappy Smell like a rose, makes me itch my nose Hey, hey, hey! Workout like hell, makes me feel unwell Wake up early, what's wrong with you girlie? So well prepared, it makes me scared Dead set on your goal, it hurts my soul Hey, hey, hey! Tidy as fuck, while I'm stuck in my muck You do it today, haven't you heard what they say? It won't go away, tomorrow is my day Tomorrow is my day!

Stuck 02:41
It's like sand, in the open palm of your hand Like quick drying concrete, around your feet It's like you try, but seen through the eyes of a fly Like that diving bell, and the butterfly hell It's like a dream, you wanna scream You're standing still, you've got no will Because everyone's moved on but you, you, you, you Everyone's moved on but you It's like a dream, you wanna scream It might as well, all go to hell You can't breathe unless, you can find the surface You're trying to crawl, out of a black hole You feel, you're caught in a rat wheel You're forevermore, alone on the dance floor It might as well, all go to hell Sleep till three, then watch TV Because everyone's moved on but you, you, you, you Everyone's moved on but you It's like a dream, you wanna scream It might as well, all go to hell It's like sand in the open palm of your hand Like quick drying concrete around your feet It's like you try, but seen through the eyes of a fly Like that diving bell and the butterfly hell It's like a dream, you wanna scream, You're standing still, you've got no will It might as well, all go to hell Sleep till three, then watch TV It's what they say, such a cliché Nowhere fast, stuck in your cast Cause everyone's moved on but you, you, you, you Everyone's moved on but you, you, you, you Everyone's moved on but you

You look the part, all casually punksmart, even sporting an old t-shirt out of Burning Heart Gonna give me cred, ringing in your head You're saying it's shit, so I can't listen to it Too caught up on your own limitations Maybe I should admit, that I tune out quite a bit Restrictions never took no one nowhere I'm sorry dude You need a new fucking attitude The whole philosophy is being free You don't seem so free to me You put on a frown, and try to pin us down, but we just swirl away dancing We're too old school to care about being cool Just makes me sad to see you trying so bad I start to think of all the good times that you could have had You have too many fears, I mean who really cares? Restrictions never took no one nowhere I'm sorry dude You need a new fucking attitude The whole philosophy is being free You don't seem so free to me

Lazy 02:20
I've been lazy the whole day, doing nothing at all Just checking out some bands and playing my guitar I had a ton I should have done, I don't even know where to start. I don't know where to start So I do the same as yesterday, it's a routine now I would say Wake up late, then turn around and sleep some more I don't want to face the fact, I can't help the way I act My only coping skill is pushing it away Out of sight and out of mind I pretend everything's fine, everything's fine Na-na-na-na-na So I do the same as yesterday, it's a routine now I would say Wake up late, then turn around and sleep some more I don't want to face the fact, I can't help the way I act My only coping skill is pushing it away Out of sight and out of mind I pretend everything's fine, everything's fine Na-na-na-na-na

Exit 02:29
Such a perfect surface has so many curses Makes me want to claw through it all So calm and so cool, I'm not taken for a fool Bet there's a storm in there somewhere Hiding out of fear Won't let anybody near You will just pretend pretend pretend I'll throw you a lifeline, we'll put on some Sublime, share a box of wine and have a good time I'll throw you a lifeline, we'll put on the Decline, share a box of wine and find that fucking exit sign It's your comfort and your shield, making sure nothing's revealed On the border, out of order It's a hole you're sinking in Hating your own fucking skin Bet there's a way out of there somewhere Strive for perfection makes you sad You know you're already rad You don't have to pretend pretend pretend I'll throw you a lifeline, we'll put on some Sublime, share a box of wine and have a good time I'll throw you a lifeline, we'll put on the Decline, share a box of wine and find that fucking exit sign I love your personality Your quirks are what makes you stand out You must never loose yourself Strive for perfection makes you sad You know you're already rad You don't have to pretend pretend pretend I'll throw you a lifeline, we'll put on the Decline, we'll share a box of wine and find that fucking exit sign

about

Pay to Breathe Oslo, Norway

Pay to Breathe plays melodic, energetic punk rock. They were breastfed to Kjøtt and learned to skate to the Offspring. They did their make-up with Hole on the stereo, lost their virginity to Ebba Grön and learned from NOFX not to drink and drive. Now they are writing their own punk chapter with lots of fuzz and charm, with a little bit of madness in the mix. ... more
