The two new songs on this page will appear on Medicine Sunday’s forthcoming album.

COMPLICATION

(written by Dylan Styche)

I’ve been missing, crossed off every list
I’ve been day dreaming, but I’m trying to resist
I watch the midnight crawl to a deeper blue
Got no place to fall when I dream of you

Might stumble over my hesitation
You’re my only complication

You’ve been waiting for a soul to sacrifice
You’ve been whispering me the sweetest lullabies
You’ve been feeding me a sugar coated pill
But your baby just won’t lie still
I resent the implication
You’re my only complication

We’ve been driving alone through the dark
Running parallel, together but apart
One eye on you baby, one eye on the signs
Let’s go missing, let’s slip between the lines
I can’t escape my destination
I need my only complication

Welcome to the lost souls congregation
I’m losing my hard won reputation

SMILE THAT CRIES

(written by Dylan Styche and Tracey Jewell)

Hot August day
Sounds in the street
I can hear children play
I thought we’d meet
As the sun beats down
It’s dark in here
Thought you’d be around
Baby I just want you near

With a smile that cries
When I say that I love you
You hide your eyes
The best part of you

I found my reflection
In the TV screen
Too much space in my bed
Where you should have been
This empty bottle
We should have shared
Has drowned and numbed all the feelings
Of shit and despair

With a smile that cries
When I say that I love you
You hide your eyes
The best part of you
With an armful of lies
You handed to me
With a smile that cries

Maybe if I wait till it’s really late
You can make that call
When you look at me do you really see
Anything at all?
Are you driving round?
Tell me what you found
Will it help you through?
Are you drowning too?

In a smile that cries
