Start 03:29
Plaques and bronze Not set in stone Open your ears Can you hear you it breathing? This patch of land Was made for us Everybody leans Towards the light Open your ears Can you hear you it breathing? It's already here Can you hear it breathing? Everybody gets The time of their life Open your ears Can you hear you it breathing? It's already here Can you hear it breathing?

Ducks 04:31
Your struggle mostly happens Beneath the surface Baby you should know It's the same for us all I will never truly Explain my amazement Baby you should know It's the same for us all You look like he does You smile like she does It's enough for me It's enough for me Look kid you got brains you got heart When I heard Music in your laughter The final truth was revealed You smile like she does You look like he does You smile like she does It's enough for me It's enough for me It's enough for me Always enough for me

Blush 03:01
On your back and ready For your tummy rub You'll never admit you Might have got it wrong They say North Korea would blush What progress we've made This second machine age Our arts degrees fight a virus We set our phasers to auto satire Too many heads full of PPE means There's none in the hospital They say North Korea would blush Faulty heuristics for the long humiliated Calculate cost disregard loss to the boss set They say North Korea would blush Courtiers critique won't sting with hands over their mouths A wholesome game for friends and their pretend enemies They say North Korea would blush

Clocks 04:24
Enquire within upon everything Health, wealth, free from suffering Taking shots from both sides But you're much too strong Health, wealth, free from suffering

Breathe 03:46
The air that I breathe The joy that I seek The eyes that I need The love of life on repeat Tiny motions grains of sand Slow but steady Our point of reference expands Her hand divine waves away Clouds at night We find our way by patterns She paints in starlight The air that I breathe The joy that I seek The love of life on repeat Tiny motions grains of sand Slow but steady Our point of reference expands Her hand divine waves away Clouds at night We find our way by patterns She paints in starlight We stay in orbit Gravity defines us The balance of push and pull

Boot 03:02
What's your favourite part of seeing it all fall down? Is it in the knowing of how well you played your part? Seeing as this is exactly what you asked for, this must be tremendously exciting for you What's your favourite part of seeing those hungry kids? Is it skin and bone? Is it haunted eyes? This must be tremendously exciting for you What's your favorite part of the boot you so willingly eat? This must be some real life affirming stuff for you And if you take your measure from crooked rulers you'll never see how poor you are

Stories 03:04
I don't want to shit on the guy But Chris Rea called it wrong The way is hell is not a road It's a discourse, and the English abrogation of thought It will happen here Perhaps you've noticed a steady decline? But have you told yourself it's the natural order? It will happen here It will happen here Helping to fatten a lie so thin It will happen here The stories we tell Are holding us back Pulling us down As we try to get out Of these poisonous waters It will happen here Happen here It will happen here

Void 03:16
So you sit and stare at the red lights unblinking before you No quiet out there burning all fuel in resisting the pull of despair The pull of despair There's no quiet out there The pull of despair When pavement and sky become one it can seem like the bleakest of unions And you're sitting alone in your shell empty malnourished but sucking it down for your life For your life Sucking it down for your life For your life Right now you just might not know it but the void is taking a view and the challenge is to stop it growing in you Divorced from your nature on a promise that never delivers Divorced from your nature on a promise that never delivers And what hope do you have its so brutal and short and it's coming apart at the seams Apart at the seams And you probably don't know it but the void is looking at you and you probably won't find a way through And what if it were to happen, what if it turns to be true that fighting rope and monsters is the only thing you can do The risk is always poison and rewards are fleeting and few

Stop 03:16
Easy to get it wrong these days Expression is our last resort And you are so necessary You are so needed There is no cause and no effect That we will not just disregard That's why our island is the best We can ignore what we don't like There is no cause and no effect That we will not just disregard That's why our island is the best We can ignore what we don't like Imagine imagination unmanaged By the unimaginative Imagine it's not a race Straight to the bottom There is no cause and no effect That we will not just disregard That's why our island is the best We can ignore what we don't like

Grace 05:12
On your feet soldier Arms all the way to the top What you looking at babe? You came through time for me Didn't you? Feeling pretty real right now Bliss is all it is What you looking at babe? You came through time for me Didn't you? We can help We can change We remember We awake we estranged We're not dead yet On your feet soldier Arms all the way to the top What you looking at babe? You came through time for me Didn't you? We can help We can change We remember We awake we estranged We're not dead yet Is it us? Is it them? Does it matter? In the end comprehend your extinction

about

Ross Harley Wallsend, UK

I've been in bands for 23 years, mainly as a member of yourcodenameis:milo, TANKENGINE and bathyphysa.

But this, this I did on my own. In and out of lockdown, while working full-time and parenting. My wife as my workmate across the hall, my 18 month-old daughter as the impatient, erratic boss.
