lyrics

I’ve got your absence in my pocket
You’ve got your eyes inside my head
When you look at me through them you see a child
If I keep one closed I see the truth instead

This can’t last forever
Each passing day I feel it fade

But your bloodshot ballad’s getting louder all the time

You’re upstairs being reborn, sweating through the floorboards
I’m sitting downstairs catching it all in my left hand
Won’t celebrate your new birthday or give in to my old ways
As you script the same show over and over again
Positions, everyone
Spotlight’s on you, seven trap doors for the rest to fall through

Your waves of disturbance are keeping us both lost at sea
Your next appointment’s always an emergency
Your see-through scissors are never really cutting ties
Your long-lost brother’s looking dead behind the eyes
He comes to visit me at night
He’s less responsive every time.

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
