    OK song, bad choice for a single as there’s almost nothing memorable to cling to.  Ironic cause I think Dark Matter was one of the better single choices they’ve made in their career.  However both songs have maybe the worst sounding drums/vox since self titled, hopefully a non mp3 version will sound better.
    To each their own though, I admittedly have a pretty heavy bias against fast paced power chord PJ punk songs post 2000

    Running (working lyrics)

    Yes or No

    You got me running
    got me running
    but the (something) never ends

    you got me running
    or else I'm done in

    you got me coming as you're going
    in the cage that never ends
    you got me running
    yeah the second coming

    contain us
    contain us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel aint no fun now
    I hope you know the shit your pushing

    control us
    control us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel's getting funneled
    like the sewage in the plumbing
    cuz we left the fucking water running

    yes or no

    got me diving
    got me diving
    got me deep I've hit the bens
    when I'm sewn in I'm too late coming

    got me running
    got me running
    like the (something) that never ends
    I'm feeling done in
    it's rather stunning

    contain us
    contain us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel aint no fun now
    I hope you know the shit your pushing

    control us
    control us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel's getting funneled
    like the sewage in the plumbing
    cuz we left the fucking water running

    we're cleared for
    for liftoff
    I close my eyes
    take off
    living in the shadows
    crossing my fingers
    a date with the gallows
    and a reprieve's not looking likely

    (ed's rant---not gonna try)
    you got me runnning (x4)
    oh please
    you are the tunnel
    I am unstable
    fuck off
    off

    Sounds like "but the race it never ends"

    Oh...

    I kind of stopped worrying about lyrics. Sometimes it demystifies the song.

    That was great! Sounds like old school punk to me. I’m getting vibes of brain of j, whipping, and sonic reducer.

    I’m in the middle on this one. It’s not bad, can see it being fun in concert. I love the break. But, like was said before, no real melody and Ed’s voice makes me sad…

    guess ill have to break the mold in this thread but this song is fucking terrible.  I couldn’t get through it.  It’s a fuckin B side at best, or it shoulda stopped at :40 seconds like lukin.  

    I’m getting the feeling that this album is going to sound exactly like they said it would- like 6 guys in a band and a producer were not allowed to bring outside stuff they’d been working on into the studio, so they jammed and unfortunately (to me) every track is a jargled mess of noise because no one knew how to say no.  The lyrics are just yelps and nonsense because everyone else left to get food and left Eddie with nothing but some chord changes to put lyrics to.  With no meaning, no plan, the songs and lyrics come out and sound that way.  Unfortunate man.  Good album to work out or run to because you won’t be picking it apart and it’s just loud as fuck, but not what I was hoping for

    Not really, no. Could just as easily be about Usain Bolt as far as I can tell.

    Surprised that some people aren't digging this. Much better than some of the "rockers' from the later records. Very youthful for their age.

    Sounds literally no different if not better than he has in the past 10 years.
