Manic 02:54
I’ve been waking in a panic panic Thinking ‘bout ya like an addict addict I can’t seem to break the habit Just one taste, you know I gotta have it Lost my head, now it’s off the planet Lately I’ve been feeling kinda manic AHH! Living life in automatic ‘matic Spending money like I have it have it I just need a little magic Cause I’m over dramatic-matic Aren’t we all just a little damaged? Yeah we could go and wreak some havoc So break me in I need some guidance Shed some skin (And pull me in again) I need something So hold me close now Drench me in sin (Drench me, drench me...) Feeling sick with jealousy This has never happened to me Fighting hard to keep my sanity Cold nights turning up the heat Put that body on repeat You’ve got some nerve asking ‘what are you doing to me?’ What are you doing to me? Break me in I need some guidance Shed some skin (Pull me in again) I need something So hold me close now Drench me in sin (Drench me in sin) You got me now yeah I’m an addict Had a taste, now a habit Ooh I need it, gotta have it Gotta have it, gotta have it Help me out I’m feeling manic

Take Me Out 03:26
My friends tell me to slow it down But they don’t know what they’re talking about I’ve been feeling good after few beers And I know it’s not long until you get here I’m picturing you and all we’re gonna do I’ve got a one track mind for the weekend I catch you stare and turn away again I looked up and now you’re moving in The night’s fading fast But trust me baby it’s just begun! So take me out I’ve been working all week and I’m aching Let’s paint this town Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body Your body pressed up next to mine Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar So take me home tonight, I wanna feel alive You take my hand and you pull me close The sweat is clinging to our clothes and Your hands are searching and they’re lingering Can’t believe the things you’re whispering Now the scent of cigarette still lingers in your hair I still taste of gin on the back of my tongue and I’m ready to forget again So take me out I’ve been working all week and I’m aching Let’s paint this town Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body Your body pressed up next to mine Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar I’ll take you home tonight, I wanna feel alive With not just anyone Only you I can feel your restless You can’t control my hands So come in a little closer so I can throw you back down again I’m waking Monday morning and I’m thinking of you again I can’t control these things in my head So take me out I’ve been working all week and I’m aching Let’s paint this town Everything’s getting hazy I’ve been dreaming of your body Your body pressed up next to mine Against the brick wall down the side of Cherry Bar So take me home tonight, I wanna feel alive

All the words I still can’t say They haunt me everyday Home alone procrastinating Air is still, mind is racing Spiraled thoughts debilitating Getting lost in moments tracing How I couldn’t see the love was fading You still look like comfort If I could change I’d change for you I know it hurts but I can't keep lying You know me I couldn’t play it safe It has to end this way We lit a fire now it's burnt through I tried my best but I can't keep fighting It’s the end let me walk away I need you to need you to Please let me walk away Now it’s time we need to wake up To see what’s crumbled all around us (And no ones come to save us) And I know I need to face up To all those wars I thought I’d won (And all the damage that you’ve done) Tell me where all the love has gone You know I want to want you I want to If I could change I’d change for you I know it hurts but I can't keep lying You know me I couldn’t play it safe It has to end this way We lit a fire now it's burnt through I tried my best but I can't keep fighting It’s the end let me walk away I need you to need you to I can’t help that your heart keeps pulling you away I’m stuck in the mess you made and I hate the fact I feel this way Feel this way If I could change I’d change for you I know it hurts, but you can't keep lying I know you couldn’t play it safe Did it have to end this way? We lit a fire now it's burnt through Now I can see there's no point fighting If its the end then let me walk away I need you to If I could change I’d change for you I know it hurts but I can't keep lying You know me I couldn’t play it safe It has to end this way We lit a fire now it's burnt through I tried my best but I can't keep fighting It’s the end let me walk away I need you to need you to

Here Again 04:04
No one knows I hold the key To unlock insanity Your choke hold on me The one that no one else can see It’s lifting me Oh its lifting me My comfort in control My tainted mortal soul Oh how I’ve come to know I reap just what I sow Lately I’ve been feeling so low I found my self floating out here again Feeling like the point of all this is pain But how can I be outside looking in? Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim This creaking floor under my feet This silent house, it cripples me Messy head and frozen sheets Madly will myself to sleep But through my mind your image creeps I deserve this cause I messed up I deserve this cause Im fucked up I found my self floating out here again Feeling like the point of all this is pain But how can I be outside looking in? Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim Something in you Brings out something in me I want to deny But it feels so real Something in you It helps me to see Now I realise You are me I found my self floating out here again Feeling like the point of all this is pain But how can I be outside looking in? Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim I found my self floating out here again Feeling like the point of all this is pain But how can I be outside looking in? Out in the ocean, to the floor I swim To the floor I swim

I don’t know how you found me But now you surround me Yeah you live under my skin And when I try to reach ya And all I get is silence That’s when it begins to sink its teeth in You tore the path on which I stood Got me so high, you blinded me I could fly for a little while Then I crashed back to earth in your gravity My solace ain’t here I still feel the echoes of your love My conscience ain’t clear My soul it wasn’t enough for ya Laid out my weaponry Let you see all parts of me You know the pleasures that I seek This life it teaches tough love This love has me tasting blood And now my body, my mind is weak Your shadow still wanders through All the futures I see, I see Am I even on your mind? I think about it all the time You’re so far away from me My solace ain’t here I still feel the echos of your love My conscience ain’t clear My soul it wasn’t enough for ya Didn’t mean to trap you here Asking myself, how could anyone- Love a monster like me You're only human I should let you leave You tease me, you bleed me You bring me down Don't leave me, don't leave me I need you around Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm begging you to stay Cause I need you, you know I'll leave you But not today You tease me, you bleed me You bring me down Don't leave me, don't leave me I need you around Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm begging you to stay Cause I need you But I'll leave you, but not today Don't break me down I need you now You tease me, you bleed me You bring me down Don't leave me, don't leave me I need you around Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm begging you to stay Cause I need you, I need you But not today

If walls could murmur secrets I’d make them cave in At night I’m lying sleepless He whispers what’s within The rise and fall of your chest Forehead covered in sweat I can’t connect What’s in your head? I can’t rest You haven’t told me yet You haven’t told me Let me see behind your lonely walls I will love you, I will love it all Your eyes tell more than you can keep Beside me talking in your sleep Won’t you grant me entry to though this door You don’t have to lock it anymore How many secrets can you keep? Beside me talking in your sleep Baby what’s got your tongue? If I’m the only one why hold back? Why can’t I set you free from whatever tragedy dwells inside your precious heart? No more smoke and mirrors baby Don’t you run from me Don’t hide it don’t fight it When darkness clouds your days You hide all away Rain or shine I still need you here Let me see behind your lonely walls I will love you, I will love it all Your eyes tell more than you can keep Beside me talking in your sleep Won’t you grant me entry to though this door You don’t have to lock it anymore How many secrets can you keep? Beside me talking in your sleep If you’re feeling like escaping We could run to the sea Leave this world behind so you can breathe! And if you’re hating what’s in the mirror Just turn and look at me There something out there better for us baby Don’t say ‘I’m sorry’ Just say something true I’m light years away Lying next to you We all have secrets baby We all know shame Feel those things we shouldn’t We’re all the same I want it all

vocals, Excuse continue to rock the foundations of the Melbourne music scene.
2022 saw the release of their fierce and fast single 'Not Here for You' - an answer to
the homophobia and bigotry experienced by members of the band.
