Fate 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Nothing makes much sense I wish it was a matter of coincidence I don't belong but I'm hanging on Pride has left me weak Its knocked me off my feet Clinging to moments gone I'm hanging on No I don't understand The way that fate is planned It seems that I'm meant to be lonely Cause every time I try to be in someone’s life The doors are not open to me Feeling takes such strength It seems to move ahead we must lose innocence And all I've done touches no-one Lies have cut me deep The price of love ain’t cheap Singing for those unsung Still hanging on Why for me, do you feel nothing? Why can't you look at me and see your reflection? Their days are brighter My nights are darker Their taste is sweeter The knife cuts deeper No I don’t understand The way that fate is planned Cause every time I try The doors are not open to me

Can't Escape 03:22
lyrics

Will you haunt me again tonight? As I rome the streets of my mind My head forgot what my heart cannot And pain’s the only friend that I find But it’s alright As long as there’s tomorrow there’s time And I will do my best To lay this ghost to rest Cause I can’t escape the feeling Haunting me this evening I... Am I losing my mind? I don’t know where you are But you’re all that I see And I can’t escape You gotta hold over me now Will you show me the house where you live? I’ll imagine the secrets you hid from me My head has learned but my heart still burns For everything that we never did Night after night I’m still haunted by that look in your eye I’d forget if I could Though it would do no good I can’t escape from you Even if I wanted to You’re still in my heart And though we’re apart I’m never gonna be without you Come back Why don’t you come back? Come back for real Come back to me

Best of Me 03:21
lyrics
buy track
I can never face the truth Crying in the rain I’m waiting to go home To be whole again I can barely recognise The man you used to see And I’m blinded by the past Its haunting me You’re stripping away the best of me And everything I used to be Stripping away the best of me I’m nothing that I used to be How can you heal a broken man? When he’s lost everything, he’s done all he can Stripping away the best of me Things I never knew Lie there underneath Hidden from the world Away from me Now everything has changed But I didn’t let go And I need to tell you this Because I think you should know that.. I feel so uninspired After all that has transpired It’s a wonder how I even got this far Now I feel so tired All the hope I had expired And the truth it hits me harder every day, yeah Its harder every day

Limited Blindness 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Can’t find peace of mind I’ll settle for destroying it It’s no solution you say What is these days? Escape I must escape For as long as I can Can’t stay where I don’t belong Consciousness is pain Don’t ask me why but I wanna go blind Even if it’s just for today and tonight Have to get away, it’s the only way I know So please, just let me go It’s sad to say my only comfort Is not a friend of mine It’s the closest I can get So take me further away Distort the pictures that Wound my waking hours This is the only bridge That stops me going insane

Anything That Moves 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Evil ways Never cease to amaze Pocketfull of memories Tattooed on my brain Draining my devotion Of all that is pure Girl that wore a halo Was really a whore Funny how I knew ‘Bout every little thing you'd do Prior to the end I could always depend You'd screw anything that moves Couldn't make it any closer to home Then hurt me more than I've ever known Prior to the end I could always depend You'd screw anything that moves Easy lays Never meant to enrage Pocketfull of promises Abide with the pain Changing my delusion Of all I was sure Reasoning beyond me And pride on the floor Where I lay my head Is where I'll lay until I'm dead You cannot break What can't be broken And you cannot steal What can't be stolen

Doing What I've Always Done 03:53
lyrics
buy track
You’re tearing me up Sometimes its never enough I feel like giving it up Giving it up You’re messing me up Sometimes its never enough I feel like giving it up Giving it up All the world awaits But I can’t fight the hands of fate And all I’ve done Is leading me back to the place I started from I’m just doing what I’ve always done All I ever wanted was to be someone I’m just doing what I’ve always done Everybody says that I should turn and run Say I’m waiting for a day that will not come I’m just doing what I’ve always done My mind is made up I’m sick of dressing it up We never had the right stuff It was never enough You’re driving me nuts I feel I’m stuck in a rut I feel like giving it up Giving it up

I Should Know You Better 03:15
lyrics
buy track
If I had the time Would the world be mine? And if my soul was free Nothing would get to me But you know, it’s too much to ask for If my heart believed In every word and deed Love would be no crime If this world were mine But you know it’s too much to ask for It’s too much to ask for I should know you better But I can’t remember whether you cared Did you care? And now it seems too late to say it And I bet you’d laugh at me if I dared I don’t dare If the choice were mine I’d gladly turn back time Make the feeling known And never be alone But you know, it’s too much to ask for It’s too much to ask for I should know you better But I can’t remember whether you cared Did you care? But now it seems too late to say it And I bet you’d laugh at me if I dared I don’t dare I’m tied up You’ve made your mind up And I know that every chance is gone I’ve spent the night up I’ve made my mind up So if you will not be mine Then it’s time to say goodbye

Imaginary Wars 03:47
lyrics
buy track
All those words left unsaid, books I never read All coming back again to haunt me I was merely toeing the line, breathing but barely alive And tears I never cried wash over me Break down the walls around me Let me breathe real love The truth was a lie but it found me Now I see no war No more Songs left unsung, chained to what I’d become And the reason I’d begun escaped me Climbed invisible walls, fought Imaginary wars I gave all to a lost cause but now I am free As the years passed my door, I imagined a war Set the dogs on myself, I can’t run anymore From the words that deceived, that I used to believe Cause the truth was a lie, But it found me and now I see Tears I never cried Wash over me Can’t run anymore Imagined a war Imagined it all Climbed invisible walls Fought for a lost cause Can’t fight anymore

Don't Give Up On Me Now 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Say you can't suffer any longer hey Gotta be stronger for another day To give you what you need To lift yourself off your knees No-one knows better ‘bout the fight than you Nobody sees the world the way you do Just do it for yourself There's nobody else gonna guide you Don't give up on me now Don't let the fire burn out Why d’ya wanna do that? Destroy every chance we had? Don't give up on this now Fight the feeling somehow Please don't tell me you can't Don't give up on me now Don't hide your heart no matter what they say Don't fall apart cause there’s no other way Forget all you have been You'll never be free if you stand still Caught in a web of animosity Tied to a place where you don't wanna be Whichever path you choose You're still gonna lose if you let go Gotta be stronger for another day Don’t fall apart cause theres no other way Theres nobody else gonna guide you

Hollywood Lied 04:10
lyrics
buy track
I don’t wanna let it go But I’m feeling like I can’t hold on no more I don’t wanna let it show but I know That sometimes even a sure thing can lose You know I’m trying But its making me a man that I’m not No, it’s not much but its something ,it’s the one thing I got I can’t remember what I wanted, but I know it’s not this Before you tell me that it’s over, there’s something I missed Hey, am I nothing more than yesterday? I’ve been trying but its much too late Maybe I’ve seen too many movies But I didn’t see it ending this way All my innocence has gone to stay Is it time I started acting my age? Maybe I’ve seen too many movies I don’t wanna let you down But there’s a feeling in my heart my time is coming around I don’t wanna fade to grey, but they say That all good things must end someday No use in crying While there’s still a chance to turn it around Or am I lying to myself that its worth shouting about I can’t remember what I wanted, but I know it’s not this And before the party’s over, you gotta listen to this When Hollywood lied Innocence died Hollywood lied Hollywood lied

Change 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Now for each year that passes by A line appears to frame my eye A little thing, it’s called change And for each line there is a tale A memory that now is stale Embrace the thing called change As a bird can’t learn to fly Before she leaves her mother’s side A man can’t grow without letting go A heart beats, the second hand is moving all the time Searching, rolling down the line We’re moving, although it seems the future’s out of range. Stopped dead if fearful of the change We’ve all been hurt, we’ve all shed tears We’ve all been hindered by our fears One of which is change And I myself held to the past Until I realised that nothing lasts Embrace the thing called change As a shadow can’t move along Until the sun has come and gone now We, like shadows, grow and fade away

No Tomorrow 05:25
lyrics
buy track
I can’t stop the wheels from turning I can’t fight for a lost cause There’s another fire burning Just like the one before I watch it flash in front of me All that I live for I’ve been holding on for dearest life But chained to what I know If you wanna play it that way Very well, choose the end But don’t say I did not warn you, old friend You’re straying down a road that I can’t follow Breathing in the air doesn’t make me hollow You can dish the dirt on me but I won’t follow Cause I can’t go on living like there’s no tomorrow I can’t close the doors I’ve opened I can’t sing for those unsung The night is far from over But the day has only begun I may be undivine but I see black and white Faith can’t break my fall Just turning inside out and releasing the doubt Can only lead me home

about

Super 8 Cynics’ self-titled debut album combines lyrical maturity and experienced musicianship to create an anthemic pop sound that’s both retro and contemporary.

Super 8 Cynics – the album – charts the breaking down of certainties, the acceptance of circumstances, and the hope of new beginnings.

Fusing rock, pop and New Wave, Super 8 Cynics’ uplifting melodies belie the darker concepts at the heart of their music.
