Morning traffic by the window
Coins are sleeping in a jar
Someone painted over numbers
On the side of someone’s car
Shoes are waiting by the doorway
Letters hiding in a drawer
Every answer looks convincing
Till you ask a little more
Keep it simple
Keep it small
Leave a space
Between it all
Paper crown
Falling down
Nothing heavy
Makes a sound
Paper crown
Turn around
Maybe losing
Leaves you found
Hold it loosely
Let it bend
Not everything
Has to mend
Paper crown
Paper crown
Wear it till the evening ends
Orange labels on the boxes
Dust collecting on the frame
Someone keeps the old directions
Even after streets have changed
Every table has a story
Every room forgets a face
Funny how the smallest detail
Can completely change a place
Take it easy
Take it slow
Somewhere new
Is where you go
Paper crown
Falling down
Nothing heavy
Makes a sound
Paper crown
Turn around
Maybe losing
Leaves you found
Hold it loosely
Let it bend
Not everything
Has to mend
Paper crown
Paper crown
Wear it till the evening ends
One more corner
One more sign
Wrong direction
Works out fine
No great meaning
No grand plan
Just keep moving
When you can
Paper crown
Falling down
Let the pieces
Touch the ground
Paper crown
Turn around
There are other
Ways around
Hold it loosely
Let it bend
Every road
Can change again
Paper crown
Paper crown
Leave it where the streetlights end

## Gimmick Drive - [Second Gear]
Dry guitars. Low-end noise. A signal coming from somewhere outside the city lights.
Gimmick Drive's second album takes the raw impulse of their debut and pushes it somewhere deeper, darker, and further out.
Sharp guitar riffs.
Heavy bass.
Stripped-down drums.
A voice carrying coldness and heat at the same time.
Written entirely in English, the album moves through the blurred edges of alternative rock, garage, punk, and indie without settling comfortably into any one place.
At times loud and abrasive.
At times strangely quiet.
There is no complete story here.
Only fragments.
Empty roads at night.
Flickering streetlights.
A half-broken amplifier.
Feelings that never found the right words.
Somewhere inside the noise, those fragments connect.
And become a record.
"Japanese girls band" no longer feels like enough of a description.
Gimmick Drive is heading somewhere.
No one knows exactly where yet.
But the engine is already running.
