Platonic 03:18
Hey look at me Don't you forget what you see Am i a parasite? Cause you are mine I said get out of here I'm doing fine I had a dream last night that you held my hand and then disappeared with the credits rolling It was kinda clichè and i hated it anyway But closure was something you never gave You were meant for me Platonically I have too many feelings To be someone that i like being Until the next time you come knocking and say you're sorry You're having trouble breathing I had a dream last night that you held my hand and then disappeared with the credits rolling It was kinda clichè and i hated it anyway But closure was something you never gave You were meant for me Platonically I won't let it consume me I'd be a hypocrite for not trying As the hands go by Man with you all here time really flies

Ease 04:20
Is it too good to be true? Cause I've fallen down for you You grant my wish for me It seemed way too easy I won't ignore your flaws But i seem to like them more You questioned my defeat But I'm stronger than i seem Will we make it past ourselves? Will we drift beyond our help? I can feel it haunting me As I feel my minds at ease My minds at ease You’ve taken me I can not see what you’ve done to me My minds at ease You’ve taken me You can not see what you’ve done to me

Fool's Gold 02:04
She Doesn't want advice She Just wants to waste all her time She Doesn't want to see the other side She Just wants to live her simple life Who cares if i stay in my room? Gives me an excuse not to watch the news So many things that are fucked up and wrong So many things i could put in this song Get out (x3) She buys fool's gold A million dollars and it's sold She buys fool's gold She believes everything she's told Change the channel and grab me the remote I dont wanna hear the crying and the smoke Exaggeration is the key Fuck all your poetic techniques Get out (×3) She buys fool's gold A million dollars and it's sold She buys fool's gold She believes everything she's told

Can’t you see I’m all alone? Treat me like a dog without its bone I never thought you’d be this safe Counting sheep and sleeping for days Looking at the stars above Wondering just what we are Im just getting sick of me Im not sure if you can see I am at an all time low Don’t think anyone would know Trying to make sense of who i can be I’m still running from the people that hate me Looking at the stars above Wondering just what we are Im just getting sick of me Im not sure if you can see Never laugh just stay well Idiots have always fell If you want a peice of me I’ll run away to cry and plead da da da da da da da da da (×8)

Leave 05:45
I don't feel like talking anymore It's all the same shit I've said it before Why don't you just leave Out of my system, you disease Everyday is all the same I eat my desert To quench my blood thirst Why don't you just leave Out of my system, you disease What have you done to me I'm lying on the floor I've never felt so weak What have you done to me I'm lying on the floor I'm not in control anymore I take my medicine So i can sleep at night Oh it pains me how you sleep tight Why don't you just leave Out of my system, you disease What have you done to me I'm lying on the floor I've never felt so weak What have you done to me I'm lying on the floor I'm not in control anymore I just wanted a friend But we all know how it ends Why can't we just pretend Like feelings were never there You've done nothing for me I'm off of the floor now I've never felt so free You've done nothing for me I'm off of the floor now I don't care anymore

Crisis 01:52
My face is a lie My continence is disguised Help me understand Which sides the bigger man If I shave my head Would anyone know just why? If I told you so I told you all my lies If I saved the day Would anyone even care? Because if I shaved my head I wouldn’t have any hair They say we’re dead But it’s in all our heads We have lost our minds It’s time to sigh If I shave my head Would anyone know just why? If I told you so I told you all my lies If I saved the day Would anyone even care? Because if I shaved my head I wouldn’t have any hair

about

The Blockades Brisbane, Australia

The Blockades were a Brisbane-based Alternative Punk outfit. The band showed great maturity, writing songs exploring themes including politics and mental health, despite them being high school students.
Possessing 2 strong vocalists of both gender, the trio created a huge, dark and versatile 90s alt rock-tinged sound that delved into experimental noise rock, riot-grrrl punk, and even indie-pop. .
