Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
We've got just three promo CD copies of our debut EP left sitting around after the rest were sent out to reviewers, so we've signed them, numbered them, and made them available to you as a special, not-to-be-repeated item. They were burned and pieced together by Dave, there's a missing apostrophe on the tracklist for the final song, and they are not going to be available anywhere else.

Fancy one? Go for it!

Includes unlimited streaming of A Story Well Told via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

The last time I walked this path
I was filled with hope and excitement
But now, here I am again
My heart is broken and I’m empty

This time, I was sure it would happen
This time, I was certain
But now I’m ready to throw in the towel
My battery’s low and it’s getting dark

Why even try when no-one believes in you?
How is there hope when nobody cares?
But what if this is the best chance we’ll get?
This wasn’t part of the plan

At this point I’m all out of ideas
What more do you want from us?
What more can we do?
It feels like it’s all stacked up against us
We’re not welcome here, we never had a chance

Why even try when no-one believes in you?
How is there hope when nobody cares?
But what if this is the best chance we’ll get?
This wasn’t part of the plan

Take these dead hands off me
It seems our futures are made of wax
The palm reader never saw this coming
We’re not welcome here, we never had a chance

Lost, going nowhere
Driving a car with no fuel
All we want is for someone to listen
But we’ve been shouting at walls

We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance

We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance

Lost, going nowhere
Driving a car with no fuel
All we want is for someone to listen
But we’ve been shouting at walls

We’re not welcome here
We never had a chance

We’re not welcome here
We’re not welcome here
