The Beat 01:55
When did I end up in surveillance? Paralysed by my own patience Surrounded by complacence My sweat is quite ungracious Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme back my time Don’t wanna hear your bells that chime Beatin' beatin' beatin' beatin' beatin' ‘round the bush Your knowledge is mild allure Minutes pass, clock is ticking Windows open but I hear nothing Cold sweat, my stomach’s aching I want these walls to be blowing
2.
Cabin Fever 03:40
So is this how it's supposed to start? Could a 4-bar trick kick back my heart? Seems so long since I brought it up Spent the past two years with an empty cup I felt irritated My eyelids were rotting Aaaaah ah ah haha ah ah My mind got all twisted My soul was pissing Aaaah ah ah haha ah ah Cabin fever got the best of me Five months of screaming for clarity I got so stubborn, I got so bored For solitude, I was a whore I felt irritated My eyelids were rotting Aaaaah ah ah haha ah ah My mind got all twisted My soul was pissing Aaaah ah ah haha ah ah Cabin fever got the best of me Cabin fever got me so fucked up

Gaslight 03:31
I cried all night for you Can’t take it anymore You took my ha-ha-heart on a Rollercoaster of affection As you set my heart on fire I couldn’t risk losing you baby I’d break my teeth in half to Keep you close to me But sometimes / I feel like something’s wrong ‘Cause when I’m / with you I feel alone But I don’t care ‘cause I know I would starve without You lying by my side Smoldering me in your gifts I know you talk / tons of rubbish But it’s your way of expressing love So flash me now with your gaslight I can’t wait to be with you again I can’t wait to kick you out of my life Hold on baby, what’s going on? Why does your tongue feel so rough lately? Why did you tell to all all my friends They should fuck off our lives Oh when did I / start to feel So stranded when I’m with you baby
4.
I went down to the supermarket Its cold doors opening to A haunting and foul smell That froze me up in shivers It is lurid, here it comes again So acrid, I open up my eyes Last night, everything fell I dreamt of drowning in an ocean full of Corpses, bright red corpses Choking me down under their desperate weight Right now, everything cracks, In the middle of the supermarket I feel stuck, same sensation But this time, I’ll keep my eyes peeled It is lurid, here it comes again But I’m lucid, overwhelmed in pain Last night, everything fell I dreamt of swimming in an ocean full of Animals, dead animals I couldn’t handle their pointless slaughter
5.
Deconstruct My kinks and quirks They’re so very straight Deconstruct My male gaze Its weight became so stifling Deconstruct my ego Deconstruct my vision Deconstruct my manhood Deconstruct my attitude I can’t cope with my own manly ways I’ve been used to them for so long Looking at myself means such a maze Against manhood I am standing strong Rebuilding My confidence Even when I’m weak Rebuilding My friendships On non-competitive terms Rebuilding my purpose Rebuilding my beliefs Rebuilding safety Rebuilding trust
6.
Sugar 04:18
Hey hey sugar Won’t you come inside Hey hey sugar Won’t you question it Hey hey sugar Won’t you want a dive Hey hey sugar Won’t you crawl the slit Why do you love me? I don’t know You’re my sugar honey Hey hey sugar I got all the time Hey hey sugar Don’t you stress it out Hey hey sugar Take all of your time Hey hey sugar Don’t you make it out

Got a thing for the clerk working night shifts White light makes passion shine faster Through the alley of canned goods and dry stock I think I did find my tin of luck Hope our love won’t come with an expiration date Our hearts will brine together in pineapple juice As our feet will stick to soda-stained concrete But you keep saying I’m a fool I come to the counter quite ticklish Your hair is black as licorice I can’t help but smile like a sod But you don’t return it that’s odd Hope our love won’t come with an expiration date Our hearts will brine together in pineapple juice As our feet will stick to soda-stained concrete But you keep saying I’m a fool Hope our love hasn’t come to expiration yet I love you from all of my pale white neon heart But you keep on saying it’s impossible Shut up and kiss me baby
8.
Hair 02:07
They’re better off my chest Right through my razor’s edge Down on the shower’s floor Than on my legs, hands or armpits Keep me on edge at night Keep me from dressing up You may call me quite obsessive Call it a fad, I call it good taste I’ll get high on tweezers and cream I’ll get on with my daily routine A male expectation A female transgression A gender fixation My epilation’s no solution No one deserves to feel Mocked, put down or neglected Whether you do love or hate them Someone’s hair is not your problem I’ll get high on tweezers and cream I’ll get on with my daily routine
9.
On candy mountain You know I got stuck My gluttony rewarded with a twist Couldn’t save myself getting high on sweets Got flavoured in disgrace Blinded myself into cinnamon My head burnt in caramel But no one came to help me On candy mountain You know I got stuck I melted myself down into its pits I ain’t rock sugar Got flavoured in disgrace Blinded myself into cinnamon My head burnt in caramel But no one came to help me
10.
Liar 03:27
God help me you’re so sticky You keep on living all over me Whatever thing I’ve done You reproduced as your own thing Live, live to my face Keep me keep me sedated Fuel me with your impulses Let’s come together Let me catch your fever And distort the world together I can’t help but wanna hug you Then smash your head against a wall ‘Cause I can’t differentiate you Seems like you’re turning into me Live, live to my face Keep me keep me sedated Fuel me with your impulses Let’s come together Let me catch your fever And distort the world together For how long are you gonna tail me Before you realize that Your habits are quite questionable Who the fuck are you anyways
11.
Heart Of Gas 03:50
Hold my hand, honey Headlines got me crying I can’t help but feel Like the world is ending Just escaped an epidemic Didn’t think it’d be a beginning just like our surroundings Our love just fell apart With all the gas gone out of my heart Now everything is cold and pricey And winter didn’t even start Can’t resist, baby My beating motor emptied our batteries I did fear the consequences But somehow our love broke down And there’s no gas all around us There’s no way to fill up our tank May we get a last chance At the station ‘round the corner Stand by me, baby I can’t think of anyone else That may fuel my tanks With such luscious grace But your environmental Stance got the best of my spending habits Now I’m left without engine And without a place to go
12.
I’ll stab your fingers oh The ones you did it with, oh no Thought I was your toy, oh They got them at the store, oh no What did you expect oh I ain’t your fuckin’ doll I don’t want your plague oh Just wanna be dying inside out, dying inside out I want to disappear in a Curtain of protection and power So that I can confront you And make your eyes look down to the ground now ‘Cause I hate you from all of my guts ‘Cause it’s you that deserve to die now The next morning oh Coming late at work, oh no Stomach ache, hope no one noticed I really got to throw my insides up Then you come in, all dressed up Acting like it was all my dream More like a nightmare oh I’m still deep into oh no, oh no, oh no What do I do oh It happened before it’ll happen again Coulda been me or anyone else Men will hurt without punishment

about

"Love & Sweetness" is the second album by Broken Bridge, coming three years after their 2020 effort "Thome Fole". More grit, more romance, more fucked-up feelings, and of course, more Rock'n'Roll. On here, the guitars scream and shout at every turn, while the bass and drums roll like never before.
On top of it, snotty, raspy, suave vocals complement the music to give it a unique "crisp but crass" quality. Lyrics delve into intricate character studies, caught in the midst of conflicted, confused relationships.
This is Broken Bridge's new world. Welcome.
