1.	Bookstore 03:08	lyrics	buy track
She wears the earth, around her neck, protecting it, she carries it. I watch her treading lightly, barefoot, not even scared of the danger she's in. While I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore.. What am I doing this is not real! Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible. Lost in a landscape lonely, walking on, walking on. Searching for meaning in dreams like Voltaire. She won't stop fighting, the nothing. In the darkness - she is the light. While I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore.. What am I doing this is not real! Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible. At least that's how it feels, but knowing me I'm always wrong. So what do I do? When I feel like I'm Bastien, in that bookstore.. What am I doing this is not real! Watching, her dancing, to a rhythm - invisible. The hero never dies, the villain never wins, but the story never ends, does the story ever end?
2.	Don't Be Afraid 03:04	lyrics	buy track
Please we can't stay here, we must go, we aren't safe here - they are coming for you. They've been patiently, waiting, and they've been biding their time. But I won't let them keep you without a fight You are not theirs to take So follow me, I apologise I'm sorry I didn't believe you all those times Take this camera, you say they hate the light Well if they get to close to you - flash it in their eyes I won't let them take you without a fight You are not theirs to take But I won't let them keep you without a fight Even if I should die. So if I should fall down behind, don't look back just get outta here Years from now, you will return, not a child. Don't be afraid.
3.	Blind 03:47	lyrics	buy track
I didn't know, everywhere that I'd lead - you'd follow. Terrified, eyes terrified so Just lay back, listening to foals I can't see, my mind is a mess but it's the best, it's the best, it's the best. I don't care, I don't give a rats. I definitely didn't come here just for a chat. I tried but but i'm too blind. I can't work out, this fucking land am I a man or a hologram? I can't work out, this fucking mind every time that I try, I'm left dry so now I'm standing here like Donnie in the mirror tapping on the glass with a knife like a killer watching it ripple thinking can it get weirder then I hear a cough, twist, see my little sister dam there's no way I can blame this on the liquor get the fuck out can't you see that I'm in here?!! the pills don't work they just make me weirder but don't tell mum she'll just take me to that healer that ain't much more than a glorified dealer i'd rather go down town cop me the real stuff get mess up to the point I can't fill no-thing got a hole inside I can't fill up, so I might as well crush these pills up do a few lines with a $20 bills wrapped circular walk around late try to steal stuff i don't give a fuck I don't even know what's real, what? I tried but I'm too blind. Wait, we'll wait, we'll wait, we will forsake We'll take, we'll take, we'll take and we'll take.
4.	Sound That Hard 03:15	lyrics	buy track
This is what guys need to do to get laid: be confident and well-groomed. smile, listen, laugh and connect with folks be the social-centre of the room It doesn't sound that hard, It doesn't sound that hard now does it? They all want adventure, they want this Yeah it's all true, I was told so, by the movies and the music, I'm exposed to, I'm exposed now It doesn't sound that hard, It doesn't sound that hard now does it? And then one day I wake up lost, scared the stars in the sky, are burning out one by one, we'll soon be lost without a light I won't believe in anything again This is what guys need to do to get laid: Be not depressed, and real cool try not to get completely wasted, and be anti-social at every do It doesn't sound that hard, It doesn't sound that hard now does it?
5.	Here 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Time for your soul to rise, you know it's mine oh mine I have the best of you, you know I'll see you right through The sample that you take right now, I will turn it upside down Why would you ever get what you need? Why do you always take whatever you please? What do I have, what do I need to pay Don't try cause you'll only get in my way Turn the beat up way too loud You're so cool cause you stand out in a one man crowd. I didn't get in here till way too late These girls, they always make my bones shake We all knew but we couldn't give a rats We all knew that you turn your own world to black I'm here but it's not worth the pain I'm here but i'm sick of these games You told me that I would get mine You told me that I'd find What does it take to satiate? This time don't tell me something so fake In here I will go insane The only reason that I'm in it's for the fame All these fans and all these schemes, they take me to a place I really don't wanna be I'm here but it's not worth the pain I'm here but i'm sick of these games Rhyme prodigy, fire starter, y'all mc's better try harder Right now y'all make me: haha, might as well be the men - the Baha Meanwhile I'm in the bar at La La's, tryna find me a Lady Gaga so we can go and do a nakey cha-cha, I'm just trying to escape the blah blah that surrounds me, it confounds me, til I feel some days it'll drown me if i don't go out and break boundaries cause I'm bad like my names Mike Lowry specially when the bass drums pounding and everybody in the place is bouncing I guess this is dance music counselling so throw your antidepressants out kids uh - dance music counselling throw your antidepressants out kids I'm here but it's not worth the pain I'm here but i'm sick of these games
6.	Naked 03:58	lyrics	buy track
You've such a pretty head, right now I want to kill it dead, but then you look at me like that and I kiss your lips instead Why can I see that you're bad for me, Why can I see that you're bad for me, and still not change? Slow dance, we spin around You always get me down Think thoughts to run away instead I pull you dress over your head Why can I see that you're bad for me, Why can I see that you're bad for me, and still not change? I'm not me I'm not myself you've got me underneath your spell Let me go. It's been a crazy ride, one I want to leave behind but you have your own ideas, now naked, here it's clear. Why can I see that you're bad for me, Why can I see that you're bad for me, and still not change?

about

Two students living together on campus soon became fast friends through their mutual love of hip-hop, alternative rock and music festivals. They split their time between making hip-hop and electronic inspired music (mostly in home studios), whilst also playing guitar and writing songs with live instruments. Over time they secured multiple recording sessions in the music studio facilities on campus, and the songs on this EP are a product of those sessions.

The Blood In Arcadia EP 'Adrift' is alt rock played in black jeans and beaten vans: dirty, dejected, distorted, conflicted. Influenced by youthful decadence and music festival energy: mud on your shoes and clothes and the come down after. Some songs almost lean towards shoe-gaze influenced, emo-punk and pop rock, while others embrace hard riffs & grunge rock. Even their electronic music and hip hop influences find their way into this fuzzy, raw, energetic romp.
