about

SURVIVAL INSTINCTS' is out now on all platforms! lnk.to/TIPSurvival

Produced and mixed by Simon Dobson at Lakehouse Audio
Mastered by Jack Nigro

‘Survival Instincts’ is based around the ever-growing need for resilience in a rapidly changing world, and musically speaks to the band's highest strengths. Though the lyrics are jaded, the high-energy ensemble delivers everything but a frown, with driving drum rhythms, fast-paced punk-infused guitars, and charismatic vocals. ‘Survival Instincts’ is a testament to the ever-growing chemistry between the humble alt-rock artists, and is the first showcase of a new exciting and mature direction.

lyrics

I'm a being who's strong and mean, won't you wrap that around your head?
All this space that I take up, well I won't be left for dead
All these sores on my hands
This new place now my land
Losing breath from my chest – well I guess I need some rest

Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different oasis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different stasis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different basis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different oasis

Now here's a man doing all he can as he crawls across the Earth
Sticks and stones may break his bones, but he's bred this way from birth
His ego is so high
Never stops to wonder why
Past the point of no return – well I guess he'll never learn

Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different oasis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different stasis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different basis
Survival, survival
Won't find me on a different oasis

Will I see this place tomorrow?
Why am I filled with all this sorrow?
Trade my life for more guns
I'll hold my pride 'til my time comes

Standing here as I watch it burn, I wonder when it will be my turn
Breathe in smoke 'cause I don't care, I never quite liked the taste of air

Take what you need from this place filled with graves
Yeah, take what you need from this place filled with graves

All these sores on my hands
This new place now my land
Losing breath from my chest – well I guess I need some rest

Oh, survive
Yeah, survive
Oh, survive
Yeah, survive
