lyrics

UNCIVILIZED

Run away like a freight train
Stick it in your veins,
in your brain
Blame everything away now
Take a day to explain
all the ways you're really sane
It's okay
if you need to blame me now
All I know is I've shown
my belly, neck, and bone
and you jumped up
cut, cut, every one
Ain't it fun when you're the one
standing with a gun
and a wound,
so stunned it was you

And all I do is try
(Little more, little more, little more)
This is not the day I die
(Little more, little more, little more)

In the night
when you're sightless, looking for a fight,
reaching blind
til you find my fingers
And you're right in your mind
So if you're gonna drown
pull me down
and we'll drown together
All I know is I've shown
my belly, neck, and bone
and you jumped up
cut, cut, every one
But it's done, couldn't last
We were always going to crash
I'm alive
yet I'm sorry I survived

And all I do is cry
(Little more, little more, little more)
This is not the day I die
(Little more, little more, little more)

I've drifted over the line,
cut out my tongue and become uncivilized
You should come around and see me, man, I'm easy to find
Where reality thrives
and the animals die

Run away like a freight train
Stick it in your veins, in your brain
Little more
Find pain now
And you're right in your mind
So if you're gonna drown, pull me down
Little more
Blame me now
All I know is I've shown
my belly, neck, and bone,
and you jumped up
cut, cut, every one
Now it's done
Couldn't last
Heart twitching in the ash
Little more, little more, little more

And all I want in life
(Little more, little more, little more)
is to see the other side
(Little more, little more, little more)

I've drifted over the line,
cut out my tongue and become uncivilized
You should come around and see me, man, I'm easy to find
Where reality thrives
and the animals die

I've drifted over the line
I shed my body one breath at a time
You should write a letter to me, man, I'm easy to find
Out where reality thrives
and the animals die

about

Sonic Detour Saint John, New Brunswick

Blending the aggression of metal, the energy of nu metal, and the sour rawness of punk rock, Sonic Detour sounds like a rusty transmission kicking into high gear. And it works. Their self-titled debut EP, full of jagged guitar riffs and infectious hooks, navigates seamlessly between songs that can be unapologetically ferocious, brazenly provocative, and sometimes even heartfelt.
