Landlocked 03:25
oh sender call to me oh sender used to never let me be oh sender oh sender oh be fair this is everything everything I was and what I used to be oh sender has let me go brute men fight for anything what's left when there is nothing left but he? try letting try letting go be fair this is everything everything I was and what I used to be oh sender has let me go you gotta let me go you can't wait here for the end, that you know everything's set and we're ready to go it sounds so strange when you say it aloud but it keeps me from crumbling you break the stem you must pay the cost you hold the name, but your trailing off its just so strange when we see you around like friends turned enemies, but your gone I've shown myself to the mirror there's no escaping I have seen myself and there is no deception at all

Failings 02:17
it breaks my heart slow to see you letting go again to undo everything I can’t watch my father failing pessimism’s passed you can’t fill up an empty glass you undo everything I can’t see you’ve covered up your tracks It’s nothing I get it You tell me “forget it” Your terrible feelings You’re losing, you’re failing And you’re red upon my checks and in my eyes
3.
It’s just a crutch It holds you up when you get tired It’s just to much Believe in anyone to come Believe in age If you believe in me I’ll believe in you We could build your dreams I’ll build them as high as I can do Everything you want Dances in your view Everything you want Is closer and closer to Remembering dreams Different dreams turn into days And then they fade away But inside your memory they stay Kept comfortably And undone by destiny

Healthy Men 02:54
Bright sun for the “healthy men” I’ve seen sun shine of their skin If there afraid of death I’m afraid of it too Islands in an endless sea Heaven’s ships were never sent for me For the “healthy men” and me have different destinys We could make up the time I have seen you laugh and I see that you’re trying all the time But when you’re down on your knees and you’re begging god for anything, for anything just say you will Bright sun for the “healthy men” Needles dance on tender skin If you’re tremblin’ I am tremblin’ too

Consistence 03:13
You can mark the spaces as you feel It will make it easier Consistence is the only fear Loneliness comes easier You make it up sometimes How I wish that you were lying now It’s understood Forget the names you had wrote down It’s understood Days like any other day Pierced hearts don’t break they empty out You’re overwhelmed It was easy when you were lying down To blame yourself Confused, in love and and full of doubt You blame yourself. Okay, blame yourself
6.
Territorial by nature I held off just to see the danger Cut cloth serves a different story I hold onto everything I know it walks beside me And most days it holds so tightly Is love an awful feeling? You know I’d fight for anything I’m gone if not for the territory I’ve changed my mind (Freddy Ruppert vocal) What if I said these dreams still haunt me? In your empty bed you still find me Speak everything and make it binding I’m begging you to hold onto everything Dig a grave and lay me in it Take my heart you’ve set fire to it Tell me all of the lies that won me It’s not love unless it buries me I’m gone I’m begging you to own me I’ve changed my mind
7.
We’re alone in the water You’re hands are ice I could save us if I bothered It wouldn’t suffice Hear the flags they call to you But you don’t wait like you used to Ignore the pain, it doesn’t mean a thing Ignore the pain, it’s all you should do All these different dreams Or only your own You speak but don’t say anything You sleep here alone The waves are foaming over us Thet’re are breaking over us They’re taking me below
8.
Thoughts: (They said the moon, the earth was falling apart They said the moon had been bruised upon it’s backside) Sometimes distance makes one feel better as if distance and feeling correlate simultaneously both increase together but to maintain feeling while recommitting is an indicator Falling asleep at night, to say goodbye or goodnight Falling asleep on holiday from each other Miles in dreams further from lovers Awakened from rest, the attitude forgotten Consenting smiles, welcomed and forgotten goodbyes Goodbye (the door is shut)
9.
Curl up instead It eats away at your side Alone/embarrassment Forcing yourself into the light Remember grace just to keep you It’s sunken in your eyes Over night just to take you Never a reason why or a reason to try Forfeit the goal To go away in humble light Sleep in so Forcing myself to try (try try try try) “Healthy men”, for this we stay alive

about

In the five years since No Paws' debut release on Bridgetown, the core duo of Sam Woodson and Rogers DeCoud have channeled the charm of 80s new wave and post-punk through the modern filter of contemporary DIY. Now solidified as a 4-piece, "Healthy Men" stands as their magnum opus, a deeply introspective reflection on relationships with others and oneself. 9 songs for looking closer inside. Pristine synths swirl around propulsive drum beats and shiny bass tones while Woodson's heartfelt words tremble and bounce off the mirror.
