Tracklist

Lyrics

Someone Else

Árni Þór Árnason: Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Kjartan Bragi Bjarnason: Drums
Ólafur Josephsson: Tambourine & Shaker

Sitting in a dark place and thinking things over
Watching my nails getting longer and longer
Trying not to sleep 'cause I always turn into someone else
Living alone in your living room
Reading a book or eating with a spoon
Trying not to drink 'cause I always turn into someone else
Someone else
Someone new
Someone else
Someone like you

Been searching for this all my life
The door's been shut all this time
Trying not to scream 'cause I always turn into someone else
There is something in my head that I can’t understand
Wonder if it’s new or has always been there
Trying not to think 'cause I always turn into someone else
Someone else
Someone new
Someone else
Someone like you
Someone else
Someone old
Someone else
Someone alone

Kill the Simple Line

Árni Þór Árnason: Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Guðni Rafn Gunnarsson: Drums
Ólafur Josephsson: Bass & Backing vocals

Killing time, kill the simple line
Prepare attack, defend yourself
Killing time, kill the simple line

Hand in my pocket, counting to two
Staring at the moss, should I buy new shoes?

Killing time, kill the simple line
Prepare attack, defend yourself
Killing time, kill the simple line

With my open mouth, swallow all the bugs
Got to go down, lower than I've ever been.

Killing time, kill the simple line
Prepare attack, defend yourself
Killing time, kill the simple line

Waiting in the dark, with my eyes wide open
What is the answer? What is the question?

Killing time, kill the simple line
Prepare attack, defend yourself
Killing time, kill the simple line

Just Because You Want Me To

Árni Þór Árnason: Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Guðni Rafn Gunnarsson: Drums
Ólafur Josephsson: Bass & Backing vocals

Float through the air on my back
Drink quickly the whole six-pack

Look pretty much like Bruce Lee
Mow the neighbors lawn randomly

Never stop until everything is cold
Eat all the food even if it's old

Run around with loose shoelaces
Find and lose things in weird places

Just because you want me to....

The Cosmos is Here

Árni Þór Árnason: Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Guðni Rafn Gunnarsson: Drums
Ólafur Josephsson: Bass & Backing vocals

Crashed the crash barrier
Smashed the side of the door
Ruined the poor ladies Piaggio
In front of everyone

The cosmos is here
Arriving in a ghost town
Trying to find a way out
The cosmos is here

The boss had his birthday
Hanging with the ships
“Is this the black hole?”
He said, eating his toenails

The cosmos is here
The bedsheets aren't nice
They're bloody and dirty
The cosmos is here

The shark is done
Wants to get away
One of us was captured
And got a new email

The cosmos is here
Send in the chopper
Forget it the next day

The cosmos is here

Get a New Tattoo

Árni Þór Árnason: Guitar, Bass, Vocals
Kjartan Bragi Bjarnason: Drums

Why do I feel like I do?
Should I forget it and get a new tattoo?

Everything that's black will fade to blue
like the drawing on my back of you

There is something here that isn't right
I’m sure it's nothing but i don't feel fine

Everything that's black will fade to blue
like the drawing on my back of you

Why do I feel like I do?
Should I forget it and get a new tattoo?
Why do I feel like I do?
Should I forget it and get a new tattoo?
Do you feel like I do?
Do you feel like I do?

Everything that's old will never turn new
like all the lies will never be true

There is something here that isn't right
I’m sure it's nothing but i don't feel fine

Everything that's old will never turn new
like all the lies will never be true

Do you feel like I do?
Do you feel like I do?
Why do I feel like I do?
Should I forget it and get a new tattoo?
