Wires behave wires hide
Before the crash humanity died
You don’t complain and you don’t really mind it
All this waste falls from high
We just sit here minding our own business
We’re just shapes failed by design
Well it’s not like you like it
We’re just shapes failed in your eyes
Criticise, all that you know
Hide any sign of pain, in disguise
At least I’m trying, all that you know
Hide any sign of pain, in disguise
Well you don’t really understand it
Why we’re all failing here
It's not like you like it
Why we’re decaying here
With us
I was with you, our hearts in you
We’re just shapes failed by design
Well it’s not like you like it
We’re just shapes failed in your eyes
Well you don’t really understand it
Why we’re all failing here
It’s not like you like it
Why we’re all decaying here
Way down I go
Way down we go
Way down I go
Oh no, oh no

You wanted freedom
So you put up a wall
To block out the light
To criticise
The ones next door
You wanted order
To assign to shapes
To live our lives
Hand to mouth
On a welfare state
You liar
We can’t afford to be you
You fix it
You wanted fear
Just to keep us indoors
Drugged to our eyes
Never criticise
What we’re taking it for
You wanted terror
Just to keep us in place
Too scared to travel
Too scared to talk
Too scared to hate
You liar, you fix it

Hello it’s me again, your nosey neighbour
That taste of fear in your mouth
That prays for nasty weather
It hunts in silence, the hairs on your neck
They say it prescribes your act
Anxiety
I was, here
And sure you say relax, and smile whatever
A shell of skin and bones, that roams free
Prescribe to save us, there’s no one else here
But it only hides the fact
Anxiety
I was, here
Drink it down you need it
That sweet relief
One more can’t hurt?
Anxiety
Hello, it’s me again, that warming sweater
Who smiles in the face of foes
Whatever the weather
I was, here
Select retail, reject detail
Drink it down you need it
That sweet relief
It’s free, its fine, don’t complain
Whats real? Drink it down

Blue Sky Thinking
Can you get me off of this wheel of life
To sit back and reflect and sleep at night
{Toner}
Grey faces surround my sight
Good employee too soft to bite
What could of been and what might
Lost in the glow of a tungsten light
High Interest credit cards, miss-sold ppi
Buy now pay later, no fix no fee
Make your house a home
Lifetime guarantee
Discount pharmaceuticals
Pay-day exclusives
24 hour, 18 hour, 12 hour sales
9 precious hours
Let us down, I need it
Net worth, I need it
Humanity, I need it
Comfort, I need it
Let us down, I need it
Live for the weekend
Can you get me off of this wheel of life
To sit back and reflect and sleep at night
Grey faces surround my sight
Good employee too soft to bite
What could of been and what might
Lost in the glow of a tungsten light

You swipe right for love
And sign your social letter
The skin that fills the screen
Reliant
Your mask of fame
Invest your time better
Your outfit of the day
Reliant
It’s quick, it’s cheap
{We’re all asleep}
What a waste of time
What a wasted life
There’s more to this than you
The narcissist’s game
What’s worse
You were made for this
Swollen eyes
Staring to the abyss
What's worse
You encourage this
Swollen eyes
Staring to the abyss
Compliant / Breathe
Is this really how it’s meant to be
Clothing scars
Lost time forever, switching off
What’s worse you applaud this
Stolen minds
Scratching at the itch
What’s worse
You all sleep through this
Compliant / Breathe
Lost time, forever
Switching off
Touching, remember
Connection lost
Breathe

What is this? Closing down
Capital risk
Nothing is left here
No outside
No one can live here
Jealous lives, empty words
Lock yourself inside here
Keep warm
Lives wasting away
Precious time lost here
Keep warm
What if we die here?
What have we done?
Send help down here
Keep warm
How could it, could it help?
Who does it, does it help?
Closing down, one by one one
Cleansing is nothing new
Keep warm
Excellent transport
In need of modernisation
Purpose-built residential
Derelict
No town, identity, feelings
Concrete, no remorse
Listen, no one can live here
One more? What’s it worth?
Relief, passion, glass ceilings
Empty life, no remorse
Send help, please down here
No more, human worth

Modern Technology London, UK
Noisy duo 💪💪
"The heavy and intense brand of noise-rock that's spat out by London's Modern Technology is so dense and ferocious, it's hard to believe the band consists of only two members."
