The Hold 03:14
Begin to run, glance at the trees, As you feel yourself fall to your knees, Down to the ground, how does it feel to know it's all? Down to the ground, how does it feel to know it's all? Do you remember how it felt? To hold, the hold. This thing you call. You fall, we fall, we're here as one. People won't care, until you get there. As you feel your lungs fill up with air. Take a stand now, so you can know how good it feels. Take a stand now, so you can know how good it feels. Do you remember how it felt? To hold, the hold. This thing you call. You fall, we fall, we're here as one. Before you could hide, That time you could cry, Nothing in your way. Nothing left to say. Do you remember how it felt? To hold, the hold. This thing you call. You fall, we fall, we're here as one.

Cigarettes 03:16
Cigarettes put out on my skin, to show the friends inside my head some nicotine. Cigarettes put out on my tongue, to show the friends inside my head what I have done. Take my hand and I will show you, I'll go with you, all these people that are made but show their point of view, and I'll protect us on our way to the top and I'll show you someone that doesn't stop. All these eyes on a high, through the esctacy showing eachother how much they really mean to be, 'til we wake up and we're feeling low, and do we really know which way to go. Cigarettes put out on my skin, to show the friends inside my head some nicotine. Cigarettes put out on my tongue, to show the friends inside my head what I have done. Keep my heart or I will throw you, I'll run from you, all the things that i had, will go along with me too, remembering all that you gave to me, turn me into the man, I always wanted to be. All these eyes on a high, through the estacy showing eachother how much they really mean to be, until we wake up and we're feeling low, and do we really know which way to go. Cigarettes put out on my skin, to show the friends inside my head some nicotine. Cigarettes put out on my tongue, to show the friends inside my head what I have done.

You've got me on my knees and I can't see where this is going. What the hell am I supposed to be for you to see that you don't know it? Yeah, you've got me falling. Yeah, you've got me falling now. We can't say what we would do in a situation where you had to let everything go just to be by my side it's so difficult. I can't say i've made these things you say that are good choices. Hate is love in smaller doses and love is pure within our voices. Now, you have got me falling. Yeah, you've got me falling now. We can't say what we would do in a situation where you had to let everything go just to be by my side it's so difficult. We can't say what we would do in a situation where you had to let everything go just to be by my side it's so difficult. Now, you've got me falling. Yeah, you've got me falling.

Holy Rain 02:49
Take my lungs so you can breath. Take my eyes so you can see what I'm feeling and what I've seen. Take my legs to stumble home. Take my eyes so you can see what I'm feeling and where I've been. Set fire to the holy rain, see the aim of a renegade. Hold my wrist as i breath again, I'd only die if I'd stayed the same. Take my heart to carry love. Take my arms so you can hold a true meaning to what i've seen. Take my soul to carry on. Take my mind so you can hold a true meaning of where I'll go. Set fire to the holy rain, see the aim of a renegade. Hold my wrist as i breath again, I'd only die if I'd stayed the same. Dreams do come true but they probably won't for me or for you because we're people who don't see the light before our eyes.

Faded 03:08
Keep holding on my boy, your love will fade and see you out. I'll keep smiling and feel proud, this face you see is fading out. Keep growing up my boy, your heart will love and love you back and you'll feel colour in the wild, this face you see is fading out. And you've been incredible, but you can't stop dreaming now. You're so dependable, but you can't stop fading out. Keep holding onto me, my love might fade and push you back, but I'll keep smiling and miss you, this face you see is fading out. Keep looking out for me, your heart will love and love you back and you'll see colour in the wild, this face you see is fading out. And you've been incredible, but you can't stop dreaming now. You're so dependable, but you can't stop fading out. This is who you are and this is where we are. The people that we see in our faded hearts. And you've been incredible, but you can't stop dreaming now. You're so dependable, but you can't stop fading out.

We can share a secret, stay up all night. Yo burn the forest means trees will die. And here's your keepsake, Gold, Ash and Wire, our place is safe, no modern desire. Gold, Ash and Wire, No modern desire. Just because I don't tell you everything I'm thinking doesnt mean I have ruined what I believe in, Gold, Ash and Wire will keep you safe, no modern desire. Gold, Ash and Wire, No modern desire. I haven't told you, everything.

Take one and multiply, see the world that I cut into my skin, so they could win. Take drugs and see butterflies, hear the words that I put into your mind, for them to find. There is a sign, romantic thoughts of a wonderful life carved through my mind, thoughts of peace I'm trying so hard to find, so let's go. Lost, no hope. Take one and multiply, see the world that I cut into my skin, so they could win. Take drugs and see butterflies, hear the words that I put into your mind, for them to find. Minutes in time, romantic thoughts of an elderly life forced into my mind, thoughts of things I dont know where to find, so let's go. Lost, no hope. Take one and multiply, see the world that I cut into my skin, so they could win. Take drugs and see butterflies, hear the words that I put into your mind, for them to find.

Outline 02:33
When the day is done I see my shadow fade, the only difference between us is I feel love and hate. Take my crooked hand I hear you call me babe, the world won't just stop turning just because you called my name. And I do love you. Watch my convex blue eyes, on your face an outline. Take my crippled heart I hear you call me babe, the world won't just stop turning just because you called my name. Will you dream about me when you stray away, the reason I don't want you is the thought of me this way. And do you want me? 'cause I don't want me. Watch my convex blue eyes, on your face an outline.
9.
We go through ideas in our heads about this perfect life but all we really know is days and days of sacrifice, this thing they call a dream that makes you feel alive. And I can be, I can be, I can be without you, and you can see, you can see, you can see the truth. When it comes to love and dreams, if I could do it all again, I wouldn't think twice. We go to work but do we really keep our dreams alive? Constantly feeling like our minds are trapped within a vice, for all the love I've got, if I could do it all again... And I can be, I can be, I can be without you, and you can see, you can see, you can see the truth. When it comes to love and dreams, if I could do it all again, I wouldn't think twice. Sweeping in like a hurricane, but our minds will never be the same. Coming up like a thunderstorm, see our eyes through a time bomb.

about

No Modern Desire is the band's debut album. Named after two worlds colliding, with an age of modern technology seemingly taking over, it's easy to get side tracked and ultimately become blind to the beauty of life.

'In a modern age of crippling desires, this album articulates what the band think should be prioritised in life.'

A thirty minute collection of passionate riffy noise-pop-rock.

So why buy the album here instead of from other platforms? This site is ran exclusively by the band, and all payments made by downloading music here goes straight to Perfectparachutepicture. To get an idea of costs, it takes roughly 5,000 plays on streaming sites for the band to earn just £20 and other big music corporations take roughly 50% - 60% before it reaches the band's pocket.
Now that's not to say we're against streaming or purchasing music from other platforms, all forms of supporting this band are very much welcomed and appreciated!
