Left Behind 03:16
I can see that you're looking But there's nothing I can say and nothing I can do Just pass it off as casual But obviously I don't live up to you Go on, say it, what you think of me You know you have the answers but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree I know we don't fit in You've made that clear for all to see All I'm doing is sitting I can see what's on your mind but you won't talk to me Go on, tell me, that I have to leave It doesn't really matter what you say, you don't bother me Well you're well on your way To being left behind No one looks back, no one looks back You're well on your way To being left behind I can see that you're looking But there's nothing you can say and nothing you can do Try to pass it off as casual But there's one thing we both always knew Go on, say it, that you don't approve Maybe you don't mean it and it's just because you've had a few

Run, running away To the place, you remember Refuse, to give up Refuse, to surrender Why is it oh so hard? To see what we once had It won’t go far Sometimes in the light it’s so hard To see the looming darkness And to you, it might seem My approach was heartless Why is it oh so hard? To see what we once had It won’t go far In all the scenes in all your dreams It always seems the grass in green Why is it oh so hard? To see what we once had It won’t go far In all the scenes in all your dreams It always seems the grass in greener on the other side It always seems

It’s not always what it seems When you’re stuck somewhere in between Reality or a dream Last night I heard you say you’re wrong No patience left to carry on No patience left to keep on strong When it’s not so far away It’s much easier to say Found myself on the wrong side of town And through the dark could see your frown But I couldn’t put you down I heard the rules were made to break An opportunity for you to take But you’re wriggling trying to escape When it’s not so far away It’s much easier to say You always have to have your own way You never find the time to stay

Brave 05:50
Change, change the pace Soft to touch, hard to blame Feel the space Turn, turn that wheel Lies are told, scars don’t heal Close the seal Don’t you know We all reap What we sow In the end In the cold Nothing grows Build, build that wall You better make sure, it don’t fall Build it tall Break all you’ve made You're not so tough, you’re not so brave It’s all a charade Don’t you know We all reap What we sow In the end In the cold Nothing grows You should know, you’ve been told In the end, in the cold Nothing grows

Pointed Guns 03:00
It’s not like I’m from the slums But being met by pointed guns Makes me think that they think I am It’s hard enough to get along Having done nothing wrong But I’m sure I can Some way through this, you know You’re going to have to let me go You’ve got to get through this, to show

about

Villain Perth, Australia

Who would have thought a random meeting between two strangers in the wrong uni class would lead to the formation of Villain - a high energy fusion of rock and indie-pop with dark surfy undertones.
