Good luck surviving on a stomach full of self
I’m trying out starving over here
Weighing up all the pros and cons of dying all over again
A vague idea of a vivid place
Where I can find solace in space
With my thoughts around the waist of someone that’s worth so much more
Than all the time and energy you pour into making sure none of this adds up
It doesn’t bother me that much if I process it in symmetry
A language that makes less sense to me
But if it’s all perception anyway
Then it can partially translate
Into a loose concept of prideful scars
And with a toothbrush and a deck of cards
I’ll find ways to lose myself
Inside a mind that’s mostly closed
Above a lung that’s full of rust
And one that fills with anything but air
Yet still contributes to a cough
Sometimes a cough can be enough
To waken yourself up
I may have bought the lie of stillness
But now you’re dancing like a tired illness
That’s forgotten how to kill
That wants nothing more than to call the whole thing off
So how about we settle for a draw
Swimming through this paper sea
It’s no wonder you’ve been catching up to me
But I’ve been bleeding not much louder than those jagged words you scream
Piercing holes in a picture of good health as you’re sliding off a broken shelf
Finding out that you can’t survive on a stomach full of self.

Wrong Life Edinburgh, UK
I'm Fraser. I play music under the name Wrong Life. I tried fooling people into thinking it was a proper full band with a
somewhat steady line-up but it didn't work, so here we are.
"... somewhere in between heartfelt, life-affirming contemporary pop-punk and smart indie-rock of the ‘90s and early ‘00s." - Keep Track of the Time
"Emo-ish punky bullshit." - me

Pop punk! Catchy, addictive melodies, hi-octane rhythms, and all-around well-crafted songs for every occasion. Great band name, too.
