We are The Shrugs, an acoustic duo from Dundee in Scotland.
'Crossroads' is a compilation of 6 original tracks a long time in the making while we got the money together to record. The album title came from how we work as a band, as we have wildly different music tastes. From rap, hip-hop and dance, to heavy thrash metal at the extreme ends of the spectrum, we've found a happy medium.

The result is what we hope is a diverse little collection of lively tracks, ranging from rap, to rock to ballads. There should be something for everyone to enjoy!

'Vacant Stare' is the fourth track on the Crossroads EP.


The Shrugs are:
Ollie Wale - Lead Vocals
Jamie Harris - Guitars/Keys and Backing Vocals

You're not there. Vacant stare.
Life's not always so fair.
You're confused, unaware
Your life's spent in this chair.

Time goes slow. Do you know?
Are you able to comprehend it?
Pain, once again,
Do you sometimes wish you could end it?

Crying shame, who's to blame?
Can't remember your name.
Tell me, God, what's you aim?
Is this life just a game?

No pity, no dignity,
It's so scary how Time forsakes.
Can't let you forget,
I'll remember for both our sakes now.

Do you even recognise me?
Look into my eyes and you'll see,
I miss you, I miss who you used to be.

No pity, no dignity,
It's so scary how Time forsakes.
Can't let you forget,
I'll remember for both our sakes.
Time goes slow. Do you know?
Are you able to comprehend it?
Pain, once again,
Do you sometimes wish you could end it?

Do you even recognise me?
Open up your eyes and you'll see,
I miss you, I miss who you used to be,
Who you used to be.
