Desperate times, make all desperate cowards claw
at the feeling or the brain inside believing
that we all really just need a way out, or to get her back now.
She’s insane, he’s a fucking pig, she’s insane, he’s a part of me now,
how can I back out .
I said before, always remember close the door, or the cold brings
all the shivering and wheezing, but I thought what if we travelled up north
we could move back and forth, with the change in your waters we could
stay the same, we might never grow old, leave those stories untold.
You said my dying stars align, a million years too late for mine
Oh, well I fall and I fail, then everything, everything slows
and you smile and you say,
I’ve been flailing around for so long,
Waiting for the right time to say
but there never really is a right time at all
Except when we’re moving away
away from what we came here for.
I hold your face but rarely take the time,
To see your eyes are closely watching mine.
Will you stay or will you let me go
I want to believe but I really don’t know.
You said my dying stars align, a million years too late for mine
Oh, well I fall and I fail, then everything, everything slows
and you smile and you say,
I’ve been flailing around for so long,
Waiting for the right time to say
but there never really is a right time at all
Except when we’re moving away
away from what we came here for.

Paper Champion are a melodic hard rock act from Sydney. In the last two years, they have been distilling their progressive
influences into an alt rock style that has garnered respect across the local scene. Their diverse sounds see them fit with a range of acts: from the more accessible Aussie bands like Birds of Tokyo to the local progressive crew that fly under the Birds Robe Collective banner....more
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
