Lyrics:

Heartbeats, in sync with the clock,
In time with my steps,
Buried in my chest.

Disguised by a layer of flesh, that's fading away,
From the constant gaze of your intruding ways.

I'll try to hide
And I will go,
Far away from here,
And I will run,
As far as I have to.

Sinking, deep beneath the surface,
Trying to realise my purpose, have you brought me here to show me off?

Inside I feel like I am drowning and everyone around me floating on their constant controlled thoughts.

I won't go around. I'll try to find it .

From the press release:

Heathers' are 20 year old twin sisters Ellie and Louise Macnamara. They began writing music together in 2007 and in February 2008 they recorded their debut album 'Here, Not There' while also preparing for their Leaving Certificate. They released the album in May of that year garnering serious praise amongst both fans and media alike.

Following their Leaving Cert, Summer 2008 saw the girls embark on a month long tour of America with US band Ghost Mice. They were invited to support Kimya Dawson of 'The Moldy Peaches' in London the following September before beginning their first year at university. The great reactions to their album led to Heathers' being invited to perform at the Music from Ireland showcase at CMJ festival in New York in October 2008 and at Canadian Music Week in Toronto in March 2009. ?They returned to tour the US in June, 2009 and in early July, played the IMRO New Sounds Stage at Oxegen. They are currently writing material for a new album which they hope to record later in 2010.

On tour around Ireland in June including:

# Whelans, DUBLIN on Thursday June 3rd
# Dolans Warehouse, LIMERICK on Saturday June 5th
# Cyprus Avenue, CORK on Thursday June 24th
