1.	Lie Down 06:22	lyrics	buy track
I was cursed with intellect, a seeker’s heart full of regret and I just wanna Lie Down The only time that I feel good is when I’ve done the things I should Before I Lie Down Cause I’m tired of disappointment I’m tired of disappointment I’m tired of Disappointment I’m tired of Disappointment Why is my life? Why is my light? Waste away my days walking through a haze A self-inflicted pain that just won’t go away Away So you wanna level with me, it’s all the same as far as I can see So sit down I’m tired of being second best when I can feel it in my chest Maybe I should lie down Cause I’m tired of disappointment I’m tired of disappointment I’m tired of Disappointment I’m tired of Disappointment Why, is my life? Why, is my light? Waste away my days walking through a haze A self-inflicted pain that just won’t go away, Away Wearing black, you can blend into the night And never be seen or let light escape Wearing black, you can blend into the night And never be seen or let light escape Escape
2.	Bellied Up 05:40	lyrics	buy track
I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up Well I’m Bellied Up In a sealed up cup Just dying from the lack of air The kids are looking in At my fishy grin I’m just smiling From the lack of air Oh, The lack of air The kids are looking in at me The kids are looking in at me The kids are looking in at me I smile for all to see I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up I’m Bellied Up Well I’m fed up With yellow tape and red cups Is this freedom, or the lack thereof? Crossing county lines Leaving far behind Our chances of getting it right Oh, of getting it right Oh, of getting it right We leave behind our chances now We leave behind our chances now We leave behind our chances now Of ever getting it right
3.	Say it Ain't so 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Carving a path with or without me It’s not hard to do the math Dependence does not suit me Say it Ain’t So Say it Ain’t So I’ve never seen such a thing as this, as this Cause I’ve never travelled to these parts, these parts I’ve never seen such a thing as this, as this Cause I’ve never travelled to these parts These Parts These Parts These Parts These Parts
4.	Polymath 05:28	lyrics	buy track
I’m never doing what I’m supposed to be I’m writing songs when others need me Oh I, am trying So why? Would I be lying Live like you mean it, like you’ve seen it in a dream Carry the answers in your pocket, in the scenery I left in the night And that’s when I reclaimed by birthright With so much going on Everything just goes wrong With so much going on Everything just goes wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong The jack-of-all-trades wants to be a renaissance man The philosopher and the polymath all do what they can It’s time, to realize That I, should compromise Don’t try to contain it or name it with words Find it in a child, so wild Like a caged bird I was blind And that’s when I made up my worried mind With so much going on Everything just goes wrong With so much going on Everything just goes wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong, so wrong So wrong
5.	Song of Self Assurance 04:42	lyrics	buy track
Wound, around The pegs, are my Guitar, strings Listen, to them Sing You ask me why? It’s to make me feel alive. What’s the purpose of living if you never arrive? Why do I waste the time? 'cause I never learn. Both ends of my candle are left to burn. Ride the impulses through every crook and bend. Feel them crawl like insects on your paper skin. My mind is made up, this is for me. I’m willing to stay up just to see, where this will take me and the things I’ll see. What lies underneath the surface of you and me. Wound, around The pegs, are my Guitar, strings Listen, to them Sing
6.	Crazy Talk 04:33	lyrics	buy track
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know if it shows So I’ve been battling some demons For how long, I do not know I don’t wanna bother anyone with my problems I keep them in and never let go But it’s time to let go Of the chains around my throat Speak clearly and true Now I’ll know the truth I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know if it shows False hope in pipe dreams I go farther now within Nothing’s really ever as bad as it seems Without any pride to defend Now I’m ready to let you in If you promise me this You’ll run far at first signs That I might be losing my mind
7.	Carnivores 04:50	lyrics	buy track
Carnivores don’t feel bad for killing Carnivores don’t feel bad for lying Carnivores don’t feel bad for stealing Don’t you push me, don’t you shush me, don’t tell me that I should quit Don’t you scorn me, don’t you mourn for me, don’t be a hypocrite Carnivores don’t feel bad for killing Carnivores don’t feel bad for cheating Carnivores don’t feel bad for Betraying Won’t you listen to their warnings they’ve got a story to tell The lights are dimming, the sewers swimming The truth will find it’s way out
8.	My Halo 05:48	lyrics	buy track
My Halo don’t fit me no more My Halo don’t fit me no more Cause I’m not the good boy that I once was before Well maybe I should have some pride Well maybe I should have some pride Standing tall with my eyes open wide I think it’s time for me go I think it’s time for me go Cause I’ve been staring at your legs Which tells you many things you didn’t need to know I have this whole place to myself I have this whole place to myself Isolation is fine but is it good for my mental health My Halo don’t fit me no more Cause it’s worn with age I still don’t know what it’s for Cause I’ve already turned the page

about

" Dome Dwellers deal in herbal-scented pop music that sounds not unlike Kings of Leon covering the flaming lips in a kettle, surrounded by a plethora of mind-expanding drugs

Swerving wildly between the twin beaks of psychedelic pop and out-and-out stoner aggression, [Lie Down] it’s one of those tracks that can’t help to bring to mind the freak-show spazz outs of Sonic Youth at their peak. --- ‘Say it ain’t so’ should be piped in to prisons across the world in order to reduce inmate violence with its charming guitars sounding like a psychedelic representation of Fugazi unplugged, if you can imagine such a thing. With Cullen Dean’s bass playing an important role underpinning Michael J Slack’s flights of art-rock fancy and David Gore apparently imagining he’s in a jazz band, the music takes all manner of unexpected deviations and it’s a simple pleasure to try to anticipate what the band will do next.

They’re the sort of band you’ll want to play to your friends and the sort of band that will (and deserve to) inspire a loyal following that will undoubtedly cross oceans to see them play live. --- ‘Maybe I should have some pride’ is a great record that’ll leave you with a huge smile on your face – gloriously, wonderfully unique, it has no immediate peers and it’s simply a joyous experience from its atypical start to its distortion-laden conclusion."

- Sonic Abuse (United Kingdom)
