Weary Eyes 03:13
lyrics

_______________________________ I've tried, to hide The evidence you've painted on my eyes This time Will you pull me from inside Before I, Confiscate your innocence Let me down so I can breathe And rip up all the photographs Your girlfriend took for me Hop on board this sinking ship And leave what's left inside Smoke away the vacancy Behind those weary eyes You can burn that plastic alibi And let the fumes go to your head Convince yourself there's nothing wrong Then forget what you just said Confiscate my memory Help me up so I can see And drop all of the jealousy Your boyfriend stole from me Hop on board this sinking ship And leave what's left Inside Smoke away the vacancy Behind those weary eyes Let go of all the enemies You made while in my bed And drop me down the rabbit hole Then sink into my head

Censor 03:11
lyrics

_______________________________ I'm a curse on your regrets A pressure on my own respect A Jesus to a ruined life Another threat for asking why The awkward stare from me to you The distance in-between the room I’ve never thought of ill intent A friendly word of encouragement So tell me what you want (Take the blame and throw it right back at me) Tell me it's my fault (my fault) Leave me in my head, alone again And swallow what you... Now I'm the one who's asking why I said what I said to protect my lies A pointless cause without a goal Just to feel like I am not alone Feed the lies that fuel the hate I'm trembling for your mistakes This weight I carry hurts my neck The more I try the heavier it gets So tell me what you want (Take the blame and throw it right back at me) Tell me it's my fault (my fault) Leave me in my head, alone again And swallow what you... Censor me Before I tell you just how good it Feels to be Out of your head and let it Feed your dreams Then tear them all apart before it Censors you Censor me Censor me Censor you Censor me Censor you Censor me Tell me what you want (Take the blame and throw it right back at me) Tell me it's my fault (my fault) Leave me in my head, alone again And swallow what you said And swallow what you...

Russian Roulette 04:06

_______________________________ I'm sorry honey but I'll call your bluff I'll take it all 'cause it's never gonna be enough I said it before but I have to admit It’s such a shame that I never really gave a shit I'm paranoid from all the drugs that I took She looked me in the eyes and said "Do you think I give a fuck?" My mouth is dry my eyes start to sting There's an itch that I can't scratch It's living underneath my skin You're a social disaster The one they call a daughter of hell Never looking to buy But always looking to sell Would you like to play a game That involves shooting me in the head No regrets when you treat yourself Like a game of Russian Roulette Cheap cigarettes and a cocaine nose Despite the lies your a waste of skin and bone Your black lace skirt below your hips Your such a flirt and you know your really good at it Her heart is littering the concrete Another guy in a taxi back seat Another girl painted on a corner Hey honey can I meet your sister You're a social disaster The one they call a daughter of hell Never looking to buy But always looking to sell Would you like to play a game That involves shooting me in the head No regrets when you treat yourself Like a game of Russian Roulette

What I Found 04:29

_______________________________ I've been by the empty faces Drowning in your tears I don't know what you've been through But I know how you must feel The smell it stains our clothes From the time we spent alone The nights I can't remember End up haunting me the most I'm blaming you Because I've nothing left to lose I will no longer stand by Fuck your problems, fuck your lies You said that I would be okay But I've felt nothing else but pain Show me all your anger And I'll show you all my shame Waste time on conversations While my thoughts burn through my veins I gamble what I feel And savor what I taste Drown myself in poison Just to end up being erased I'm blaming you Because I've nothing left to lose I will no longer stand by Fuck your problems, fuck your lies You said that I would be okay But I've felt nothing else but pain I'm breathing in your words I know I shouldn't but it feels so good Yeah it feels so good With cigarettes and gasoline We'll find a place where we can sleep

Lexi 04:19

_______________________________ Standing at the bottom of a glass again I like to pretend I'm friends With the voices in my head I think I'm sinking into this bed I'm walking underwater And sleeping with myself Would you do it for me While I drop to my knees And lie through my teeth To get what I need then leave Would you do it for me I can't move and I can't see I feel so sick and I'm afraid that I Have made a huge mistake This house is not my home And now the loneliness Is the only friend I know My conscience is eating my soul And I've nowhere left to go To go Lexi Would you do it for me I’m down on my knees Give me what I need Lexi Lexi Help me Help me Please Please Please Please Lexi

Blow up the World 04:17

_______________________________ Drag me down your alley Let me know just what you think of me And kick me like an animal I'll laugh at you while you watch me bleed Tax all the happiness you made today And wipe that fucking smile off your face There must be more to life than eating dirt And waking up to mistakes So say You'll take it away While I break The promises I made Let's blow up the world Let's watch it burn Don't be too concerned We live through what we've learned I left my stomach in the kitchen sink 'Cause I know that chasing death is a game I'll show you what it's like to drown yourself In pity and shame Choking on your tongue Just look at how the tables have turned Standing in the ashes trying to hide the fact That we’ll never learn Let's blow up the world Let's watch it burn Don't be too concerned We live through what we've learned Let's blow up the world Let's watch it burn Let's blow up the world Let's watch it burn

_______________________________ I'm not angry I'm just sober Did I crash or do you think we're getting older So you say, you made a big mistake Another lie behind your face I'm slowing down as fast as I can I don't like how this feels Being me is not as easy as it seems I'll try eventually and then you'll see I don't like how this feels It's not that easy being me I've tried and failed it was never meant to be As she lies between my legs And tells me how I should forget The things she said If I let her in my head I think we'd be better off dead Than let her live like me I don't like how this feels Being me is not as easy as it seems I'll try eventually and then you'll see I don't like how this feels It's not that easy being me I've tried and failed it was never meant to be

_______________________________ Your face is cracking Your lies are made of plastic so The sun is melting Your mind to stop, so you start to follow These dreams are someone else's it seems Maybe there's just nothing to see But I'm telling you and now you know The beginning always starts off slow Because you'd rather be someone else Anyone but yourself, to be somebody else Take the time to show me why And I'll show you what's it like to be yourself Instead of being somebody else Take the broken pieces And chew them up again The questions always why But why do I have question every single lie When did the sun become so empty And when did your smile get so sad When did the air become so heavy And when did the static get so loud Because you'd rather be someone else Anyone but yourself, to be somebody else Take the time to show me why And I'll show you what it's like How did we ever get so blind Despite all this noise I think that I'll be fine But I'll never be alright Take the time to show me why, why, why, why It won't ever be alright Because I'd rather be myself Yeah I'd rather be myself Take the time, say what you like Because I still think that you're blind Yeah I'd rather be myself Because I hate everyone else Yeah I hate everyone else Everyone else is not who I am in my own head (When did the sun become so empty) (And when did your smile get so sad) In my own head (When did the air become so heavy) (And when did the static get so loud) Take the time to show me why, why, why, why (When did the sun become so empty) (And when did your smile get so sad) It won't ever be alright (When did the air become so heavy) (And when did the static get so loud) When did the sun become so empty And when did your smile get so sad When did the air become so heavy And when did the static get so loud

_______________________________ Repeat a lie until it's the truth Convince yourself I'm better than you Take this pill and swallow my brain To convince myself I'm not insane What's with everyone else I won't tell you what you want to hear So shut up or drop dead This shit gets worse year after year The evidence behind your eyes The dissonance inside your smile Piece together your broken lies And tell me I will be just fine What's with everyone else I won't tell you what you want to hear So shut up or drop dead This shit gets worse year after year Convince myself I'm not insane Convince myself I'm not insane Convince myself I'm not insane Fuck you for thinking we're the same Beat myself to dull my mind To convince myself I'll be just fine Beat myself to dull my mind To convince myself I'll be just... (Please save me I can't breathe) (Please save me I can't breathe) (Beat myself to dull my mind) (Convince myself I'll be just fine) I'm not okay I'm not okay I’m not okay

_______________________________ Your words don't cut me up They nail me to the floor You said you've had enough But I can't help but feel ignored I'll sit inside the flames And pretend it doesn't burn Listen to what you have to say While I patiently wait my turn I find a love for the feeling To feel nothing at all I dance with all my demons And pick them up when they all fall I'll find a way to use them Because I think they're here to stay I'll pull them even closer Instead of pushing them away So throw me to the dogs The pain never hurt like the truth There's nothing else for us to do So let them tear me apart Show me what's inside and I'll show you If you can find a way to pull me through Am I the only one who sees The bloodstains on my hands When will I finally accept The things I’ll never understand I'll stop myself from believing When I forget to close my eyes I won't accept this feeling I'd prefer to live a lie

_______________________________ Can you hear your fathers footsteps You better get dressed Find your clothes and I'll hide the drugs Amongst the mess So fix all your problems You'll never solve them Wasting your time with me No consequences It's always endless Drinking yourself unconscious Don't let me hold you back Spit me out and leave me in the past So set my head on fire And leave me to relax 'Cause now my rage is giving My mind a heart attack Corporate political greed Taxing the air that we breathe Self insured free state Working the jobs that we hate To buy the shit we don't need This is a fucking disease Wait for the right time to die Squeeze every cent from my life

about

Shrink Like Alice bring you their debut album 'Apple in a Pear Tree'. Produced, recorded and mixed by themselves, and mastered by Fergal Davis, the album consists of both old and new songs never before recorded by the band. The two singles released from the album(‘Live Like Me’ and ‘Convince Myself’) are two prominent tracks from the running order of the LP, which the band put together as a concept album. The contrast between the two songs showcases the variants within the album's style and structure.

'Apple in a Pear Tree' takes the listener through the stages of change many people experience in life. Coming from a negative place, but understanding who you are. To making a positive change but losing yourself and then struggling to catch up with the world around you, forever trying to find a place to fit in. Ultimately while trying to bury the guilt of your past, you never really catch up with all the time that you have lost.

released October 21, 2022
