Welcome to Hell, Idiot
Potential
You consume everything Because it’s yours to devour You put your hands where you want, where you want them, boy My value swings by the hour Oh, this is your time, your time, your time Is it not fun anymore? Is it not fun anymore? Oh, this is your time, your time, your time Your life was always a bore, your life was always a bore Well, don’t you worry, don’t you worry, don’t you worry, boy This world is built for you Well, can’t you hear it, can’t you hear it, can’t you hear it, boy? Hear how they scream for you Oh, this is your time, your time, your time Is it not fun anymore? Is it not fun anymore? Oh, this is your time, your time, your time Your life was always a bore, your life was always a bore

Soak
Potential
it had been a long time since i last needed her medicine but i shuffled the track out of town to her shack again that distance others had fallen, i fell again i fell at her door and i don't remember much after that soak your wounds, kill some time soak your wounds, stay a while she dragged my body into the light her outstretched hand means she can fix you if you can pay she don't want credit and she don't want gold pieces all she wants is a piece of you she takes her pound of flesh and she started working away soak your wounds, kill some time soak your wounds, stay a while

Crawl
Potential
You fall through No more And I can’t close that door I trip on all my words They’re lying on the floor You crawl, under my skin I can feel you, burrow in Left behind Always was your fear My, my, my, my, my dear It never was that clear Faulty wires And insincere You crawl, under my skin I can feel you, burrow in

Saint Y'ain't
Potential
You’re working through a slow trip You’re living fully, with your loose lips You’re working like you won’t fail You’re a hammer, without a fucking nail You’re a feedback loop of nothing You are white noise, you are nothing You gave yourself a spit shine Won’t hide the vacuum, behind your dead eyes You’re slapping on your fake smile It will never touch the fucking sides You’re a feedback loop of nothing You are white noise, you are nothing You are nothing You are nothing

Making it Rain in the Desert of the Real

What you saying, boy? What’s your game, boy? What you playing, boy? Light your flame, boy Don’t be tame, boy There is no shame, boy It’s all the same, boy

For You
Potential
Stay in place There’s something for you here Save your face They’re looking for you here Stand up straight You belong up here Know your place There’s nothing for you here

First album from Sydney three-piece, Potential.

This release was written and recorded on the stolen land of the Gadigal people. We acknowledge their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities and that these lands have been materially, ecologically and socially transformed through occupation by settlers. This transformation does not erase history, sovereignty or connections to culture. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Always was, always will be
