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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
