Guessing Game

In the beginning there was something drawing me
I stood to attention like you were calling me
I thought I’d never be happy again
Like divine intervention you brought light into my life again
You’re so incredible…or so I thought
Thinking that you’d ever leave me would be unbearable
There was a variable I did not factor in
And so I cannot begin to solve this equation
And I spent so much time feeling insecure
You have these feeling for me…right now I’m really not sure
I know you won’t give me what I need So why are we continuing to try..and persevere..and fail
You sure know how to time it well.
I’m so tired of trying to figure you out
I want to know what you’re all about You make it hard but it’s easy to see How complicated you can be.
Let’s bring it to the now I really don’t see how much things can change in such a small space of..
Time to reconsider and abandon all hope I didn’t find this funny..so why was it a joke to
You are unbelievable no doubt about that
Thinking that you’d ever leave me is inconceivable
There was a problem that we could not prevent
And I cannot begin to tell you what happened
Guaranteed..I know that you’ll just frustrate me
You make me feel so…nah forget it I’ll just regret it It’s not like anything is gonna change I guess we’ll play this game until I’m cursing your name

Hello my friend
Forget the time again?
Or were you caught up with the same things?
You’d think by now… you would’ve learned to deal with it
and a learn a little something called time management
My friend…what’s your excuse this time?
Don’t get me wrong it’s really great to see you
but I think there is somewhere we should be right now
and time will not allow…
Once again there’s nothing left to do
than be stuck waiting on you
I don’t know how you manage it consistently
My guess is your lack of urgency
So what is the reason that we are giving for us being late to the show?
I’m letting everyone know
That the traffic is always slow.
I can’t get a hold of you right now
Please just tell me that you’re on your way
All I hope is that you get here quick
cause I’m about to lose my shit
Hoping your time of arrival is today.
My friend..why does it gotta be this way
Everybody understood the plan. You confirmed it yesterday
Now it’s time to make a move
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!
You always hold us back when we should all be pushing forward
I can’t get a hold of you right now
Please just tell me that you’re on your way
All I hope is that you get here quick
and that you stop being a dick
Hoping your time of arrival is today.

Messed Up
02:41

I’m home all alone..staring at my phone
waiting for that call or text
the opportunity to reply or accept
My heart starts racing when that screen turns green
I fear the worst, then we converse
and you attempt to let me down gently
I’ve been unhappy for a while now
That’s how I feel and for that I am sorry
I can’t be in a relationship that’s why I need to end it
It’s all messed up
up to the point where I couldn’t change it even if I wanted to
It all comes to a close
I know that I should let it go
but I really think that you should know the truth
The truth is that I’m glad you told me
because I don’t think that I could ever tell you
Because of past experiences
I couldn’t bring myself to ever hurt you.
Some other time.
Some other place
I don’t hold it against you
I’m just trying to save face.

Time For Change
02:08
|
|||
|
It’s time for me to reflect upon
a year of things that went right and so very wrong
Despite all that I still carried on
It’s been quite a ride
I’ve found a brand new stride and a brand new hope
and it’s all helping me to cope
We’re drifting apart and that I can’t allow
We’re gonna pull together somehow
Chorus
Yesterday I learned a lot about me I didn't like.
My eyes are now open…I’m pretty horrified.
I thank you for your honesty it's really helped me out.
It’s time to make a change
It’s time for me to reflect upon
a year of making mistakes while stringing you along
I’m sorry that it happened
I want to make it right
I’ve let you down again and I’m afraid
that I’m only pushing you away
It’s time for a change and it starts right now
I’m gonna pull together somehow
Change
It starts today
I just want to tell you
Sorry that I really let you down

Want You Dead
03:55
|
|||
|
We tried to co-exist
We tried to put aside our differences
It was only a matter of time
Before you crossed the line
Before you said no compromise
Now it’s came to this
It has to end like this
Slow and painful or quick and easy
It makes no difference to me
You’ve been a problem to me for too long
I can’t take no more
I don’t care how
I want you dead
One way to say
one way to describe
How I feel when it comes to your demise
It would be a pleasant surprise
When exactly did ever become acceptable for you
to intervene in my life?
When the day comes..and it will..
I won’t feel nothing
As far as I’m concerned
You had it coming
I want you dead
I want you erased
If you were here right now I’d say it to your face
I want you dead.

Resentment
02:55

I resent the fact you always think you’re right
and too stubborn to ever apologise
Oh so justified in all the stupid choices that you make
Not caring about the mess left in the wake
You’re moving on to better things and that’s ok
Things will be better off this way
I can try to understand
but I’ll still end up resenting you again
I resent the position that you put me in
It’s ok for you but I’m still struggling
Denying ever single instance of accountability
While leaving all of the burden on me
Put a pin in it. It’s ok. We’re still friends
There were hard times that dragged us down
I’ve moved on but sometimes I miss having you around

The Hostiles South Ayrshire, UK
The Hostiles capture the upbeat energy of US west coast ska punk in the slightly less-sunny climes of west coast Scotland. Spirited and infectious, they combine distorted guitars riffs, low-slung rhythms, in-your-face vocals and a two-pronged brass backbone of trumpet and trombone. Good times guaranteed. ... more
