It was all a show, it didn’t stop on the stage Suffocating, shallow, gigging, drinking to escape Can you deal with the fact that I’m out and I’m free? I never lied or tried to be you And it pained you I never enabled you I never cared about your party or your post-show drinks Your drugs, your cliques or your sleepless weeks I’m out of the circus, I’m cut from the cast And it feels so good, you were a fucking task And you, you’re pushing yourself You’re pushing yourself into shapes and sizes It’s uncomfortable to watch You’re jettin’ around like you have made it I don’t see anything here but your bed If you’re gonna clear out some of that anxiety You’re gonna have to clear out some of that company And you, you’re pushing yourself You’re pushing yourself into shapes and sizes It’s uncomfortable to watch Just find a way out already Just find a way out already Just find a way out already Just find a way out already

Making situations in my mind That haven't happened at any point in time But if and when they do, I’ll be ready for you A preloaded gun Paranoia’s no fun Picking fights in my mind Noone wins when you’re playing both sides We spoke about this in my head Did you forget? Tensions are building I haven’t seen you to give you warning But if and when I do, I’ll be ready for you A preloaded gun Paranoia’s no fun Picking fights in my mind Noone wins when you’re playing both sides We spoke about this in my head Did you forget? You’ve got a lot of love to give You’ve got a lot of love to give But I don’t feel worthy of it We spoke about this in my head Did you forget? We spoke about this in my head Did you forget?

What is this mess that I’ve made of my heart? Thinking it would change but it never does Seeking relief in other people’s arms Thinking this time’s gonna be different But it goes right back to the start It’s an old familiar feeling No matter what year I’m in I dont think its the company that I keep It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat Waking up tense and breathing hard Oh god where’s my sleeve and where’s my heart? Can they see the panic in my eyes? I think I’ve blown my cover, I’ve lost my disguise It’s an old familiar feeling No matter what year I’m in It’s not the company I keep It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat Oh the feelings they’re still mine Oh it’s beating but it’s a fine line Between alive and having a heart that’s died It’s an old familiar feeling No matter what year I’m in It’s not the company I keep It’s my heart that keeps refusing to beat Will this be the end?

Fighting For 03:48
Lord knows I’ve been fighting to stay in love with you Some things are worth fighting for Some things you shouldn’t have to And it’s the same old thing, over and over And it gets tedious and hard And you talk it out and you talk it out And your emotional intelligence is through the roof And you’ve never been so self aware But just like always, you’re in a hole again And you’re a butchy boy on your back and you can’t get back up anymore What’s it for? What’s it for? Who’s it for? Who’s it for? To stay, to stay Some things are worth fighting for Some things you shouldn’t have to Some things are worth fighting for

about

MOON CUP Melbourne, Australia

MOON CUP is the fierce two-headed beast brainchild of Rita Khayat (Spiral Perm), wielding hypnotic bass driven post-punk that is larger than the sum of its parts. Bringing the thunder to this dynamic two-piece is Emily Chen (Edith Lane, Erin Will Be Mad), delivering frenetic rhythms with savage precision.
