Seen 05:55
Used to panic 'bout it every night Giving up and losing the fight Live in fear of another day Of being your fucking prey Lies, lies You're telling Controlling me and you never stopped Broken me until I wanted to drop Close my eyes and wish life away Hope to God there's another way Lies, lies You're telling I've seen dark clouds surrounding I've seen your storm fade away I've seen hope of a better time I've seen hope of a better me Like gasoline to the guillotine Lock me up in quarantine Holding on to my last breath Every moment tortured me to death Lies, lies You're telling Couldn't take this anymore Finally had to show you the door Thank fuck this never last Just a story with a bitter past Lies, lies You're telling (Oh yes you are) I've seen dark clouds surrounding I've seen your storm fade away I've seen hope of a better time I've seen hope of a better me

Could 04:31
You could have been the next big thing Your name in lights, your face in magazines You could have been something great But as the saying goes, too little, too late What would you do to be something special? What would you do to be someone? (Someone) What would you do to be something better? What would you do if you could? If you could... Be anything that you wanted to be What would you be? For sixty seconds or the rest of time What would you be? The silver lining shining in the sky Slowly fades to grey They say your number's up, you're past your prime Have you had your time? For fifteen years you've been playing this game Will you ever win? You could have been the next big thing Your name in lights, your face in magazines You could have been something great But as the saying goes, too little, too late What would you do to be something special? What would you do to be someone? (Someone) What would you do to be something better? What would you do if you could? If you could...

DTA 04:12
It's a toxic environment I can't believe I ever went there It's fucked It's shit It's piss It's everything wrong with society today Don't trust anyone Don't! Don't! It's an advanced form of cancer on your soul Not long left to live, I'll see you in hell No one's gonna miss you when you're dead No one's gonna miss you when you're gone No one's gonna miss you when you're six feet under the ground They shake your hand, put a knife in your back They see your smile as a personal attack It's the place where the truth is a lie It's the place where your friendships die Anyone who thinks that place is fun Is just a massive fucking cunt I wanna burn it to the ground I wanna burn it to the ground It's a toxic environment I can't believe I ever went there It's fucked It's shit It's piss It's everything wrong with society today Don't trust anyone Don't! Don't!

Trashed 03:31
Give me the noise, set to destroy You know what you're hunting for All out war, who's keeping score? Stuck in the middle, can't take no more Stab in the back or a heart attack Am I just blind or out of whack? One foot front and two steps back Maybe it's just something I lack And this is how I feel All of my life I don't know why How none of you could see eye to eye Answer call, another brawl These words are hard to come by Stab in the back or a heart attack Am I just blind or out of whack? One foot front and two steps back Maybe it's just something I lack And this is how I feel

Gossip girl, spreading lies across the world Don't you know the pain you cause when you open your jaws? Gossip girl, fabricate every story you tell Don't you know the pain you inflict? Why do you exist? Will there be a day when you have nothing to say? I guess until then I'll just close my eyes 'til it all disappears Miss information Screwing up my brain Telling lies again, oh yeah Miss information Driving me insane I don't wanna play your stupid game Miss information Gossip girl, only cares for herself In the end she will have no friends Gossip girl, opens her mouth again Will she ever learn? Will this ever end? Will there be a day when you have nothing to say? I guess until then I'll just close my eyes 'til it all disappears Miss information Screwing up my brain Telling lies again, oh yeah Miss information Driving me insane I don't wanna play your stupid game Miss information Gossip girl, spreading lies across the world Don't you know the pain you cause when you open your jaws? Gossip girl, fabricate every story you tell Don't you know the pain you inflict? Why do you exist? Will there be a day when you have nothing to say? I guess until then I'll just close my eyes 'til it all disappears Miss information Screwing up my brain Telling lies again, oh yeah Miss information Driving me insane I don't wanna play your stupid game Miss information

The Guv'nor 04:42
Looks like you've been running out of time Partying and drinking throughout your prime And I know it's not what you want But maybe try not acting all nonchalant Maybe the whiskey's gone to your head But more of this and you'll probably end up dead And I know it's not what you want But try not to fight in the restraurant He's never gonna care, only stops and stares Never gonna care, only stops and stares Woah! He is the guv'nor Woah oh oh! He's coming for ya! What's the point in acting so tough Around someone calling out your bluff And I know it's not what you want Thirty years old, visiting the same old haunt Never gonna care, only stops and stares Always shout and swear, hit you with a chair Woah! He is the guv'nor Woah oh oh! He's coming for ya!

You know I'm not the only one Who's ever felt this way Tortured to despair Just waiting to get away Scatter down the halls, gonna make a dash Giving them hell, gonna make it last The whole class laugh, opportunities pass Everyone's trying to get you down You always wanted the last laugh But guess what buddy? You're not perfect Five whole years, they were not worth it Just wait 'til we find our sound Hey! I wanna say thank you For tearing me down, day after day Hey! I wanna say thank you For finally giving me the chance to say Always stuck out of the crowd Our emotional scars, we wear proud Caged up with those hostile You'll never break our smile Scatter down the halls, gonna make a dash Giving them hell, gonna make it last The whole class laugh, opportunities pass Everyone's trying to get you down You always wanted the last laugh But guess what buddy? You're not perfect Five whole years, they were not worth it Just wait 'til we find our sound Hey! I wanna say thank you For tearing me down, day after day Hey! I wanna say thank you For finally giving me the chance to say Go, go go!

The Rain 06:16
So let it begin and guide me in The rain has started, but for how long? And I don't understand my actions And I don't understand the consequences of them Losing control, losing control Losing and I'm losing you Losing my mind and the will to survive Losing you and my skies of blue I've lost control and the truth be told I'm lying if I say that I'm alright So let it continue and I'll be there with you The rain has stopped, but for how long? And I don't understand the words I say And I don't understand the consequences of them Losing control, losing control Losing and I'm losing you Losing my mind and the will to survive Losing you and my skies of blue I've lost control and the truth be told I'm lying if I say that I'm alright The rain comes again to wash away the pain Wash away again The rain comes again to wash away the pain I don't know how I feel and it's driving me The rain comes again to wash away the pain Wash away again The rain comes again to wash away the pain I don't know how I feel and it's driving me insane

I don't talk to my friends any more (I don't care, I wish them the best) I don't talk to them any more (I don't care, I wish them the best) 'Cause I'm better off on my own Better off going solo I'm sorry it had to end up this way But sometimes people just gotta change (For the better) I'm free from this I'm free for good I haven't felt like this in such a long time And it feels so good, now that I'm free Finally free from you I don't talk to my family no more (I don't care, I wish them the best) I don't talk to them any more (I don't care, I wish them the best) 'Cause I'm better off on my own Better off going solo I'm sorry it had to end up this way But sometimes people just gotta change (For the better) I'm free from this I'm free for good I haven't felt like this in such a long time And it feels so good, now that I'm free Finally free from you I just can't wait for a better tomorrow I just can't wait for a better today 'Cause I'm better off on my own Better off going solo I'm sorry it had to end up this way But sometimes people just gotta change (For the better) I'm free from this I'm free for good I haven't felt like this in such a long time And it feels so good, now that I'm free Finally free from you And it feels so good, now that I'm free Finally free from you I just can't wait for a better tomorrow I just can't wait for a better today

Girl 05:52
She's got the sunshine smile that not even rain and cloud Could turn upside down The light and warmth you give away fills me with a feeling I don't think that I've ever felt before So let's build a staircase to your dreams We'll climb steps hand in hand my dear People say she's crazy, but I don't mind When I'm with you the stars they shine Brighter than anything this world has ever seen She's got the sapphire eyes that the jealous stars will always try But fail to outshine The colours that you see will light you up with endless promises I guarantee So let's build a staircase to your dreams We'll climb steps hand in hand my dear People say she's crazy, but I don't mind When I'm with you the stars they shine Brighter than anything this world has ever seen Did you know that she falls asleep To her favourite song stuck on repeat And it never fades away while she dreams The rivers that flow down your pillow Tell the tale of a girl so sad But if you let me stay I promise I'll make all the pain go away So let's build a staircase to your dreams We'll climb steps hand in hand my dear People say she's crazy, but I don't mind When I'm with you the stars they shine Brighter than anything this world has ever seen

DangerBitch 03:56
She's got you under her spell She's got you locked in a cell It's hell and you are here to stay She'll steal your heart, change the locks And throw the key away The memory is agony The thought of it is haunting me Every night I ask myself Why did you let her in? DangerBitch! She's a DangerBitch! Oh she's a She's got you trapped in her web She's got you there's no escape From all the things she said You never should have believed a single word of it It's times like these you regret those things And God knows what tomorrow brings Every night I tell myself I'm better off dead DangerBitch! She's a DangerBitch! Oh She's a DangerBitch!

Well that's another one down and it's probably not the last The feelings disappear, glass after glass I take another shot and I feel a little shit But it's all I can do for a temporary lift But it's alright and it's okay I'll get by in my own special way 'Cause it's just me and the voices in my head Don't need no one else when Jack's you're only friend Someone said to me You've gotta make something of yourself one day But here I am Every step I take is closer to my grave Is this just a waste of time? Or is motivation that hard to find? Here I am, I'm wasting my life away Wasting my life away Well that's another bottle done and I'm going back for more I think tonight my bed will be the floor The room spins around when the lights go out And once again I'm out for the count But it's round two and I'll continue I intend to live life the way I want so Get (get) out (out) of my way I said stay out of my way Someone said to me You've gotta make something of yourself one day But here I am Every step I take is closer to my grave Is this just a waste of time? Or is motivation that hard to find? Here I am wasting my life away Wasting my life away

about

Amethyst is the second studio album by The Whiskey Knights, which was released 6th November 2020.

In November 2019, seven months after the release of And So It Begins (Again), the band put out a series of Facebook posts over a period of several days, revealing a letter day until the word "Amethyst" was spelt, officially announcing their second album Amethyst, with an initial release of late December. Over the next twelve days they revealed the song names as well as showing off a new logo. Release of the album was delayed after Scott was unhappy with one of the songs and wanted to write a new song to replace it and Steve also wanted to re-record some elements of the album.

On 23 March 2020 the UK entered lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic delaying the album further. In order to keep their fans entertained during this time, Steve started releasing a series of videos, performing live acoustic versions of their songs, including some that would appear on Amethyst called Whiskey Wednesdays.

Recording for the album finished 11 October with the final track listing being revealed three days later. Amethyst was released on 6 November 2020.
