Now he’s living off the grid
And he’s had another kid
Call it a lifestyle choice
The world seems little when you cut out the noise
It seems little when you cut out the noise
It seems little when you cut out the noise
Call it insular
Call it intimate
The outgroup is winning
If they own ya branding
It feels better when you’re not alone
It feels better when you pick up the phone
It feels nice to sit outside
Not always try to hide hide hide
It feels better when you’re not alone
It feels better when you pick up the phone
It feels nice to sit outside
Not always try to hide hide hide
Not always try to hide hide hide

Charity starts at home
But charity implies that you’re looking down your nose
Sympathy, so shallow
Whilst empathy is a bitter pill to swallow
Turpentine pockets
Dissolve all the care that you claim you used to have
Social distance
Pretend I’m not aware if it ain’t in front of me
Not in my backyard
What civic good
NIMBYs chanting disregard
Not in my backyard
What civic good
NIMBYs chanting disregard
Not in my backyard
What civic good
NIMBYs chanting disregard
Not in my backyard
What civic good
NIMBYs chanting disregard

Hobbies

You gotta have hobbies to pass the time
You gotta have interests and these are mine
Solving puzzles with my body
Cutting out shapes that are quite silly
And balancing my life
Walking down the line
With equal footing this time
I promise I will be fine
You gotta have hobbies to pass the time
You gotta have interests and these are mine
Moving plastic on top of cardboard
Pressing down the string, into a chord
Trying put my feelings into words
And watching screens with my best girls
And balancing my life
Walking down the line
With equal footing this time
I promise I will be fine
And balancing my life
Walking down the line
With equal footing this time
I promise I will be fine

Oh and I think I might have gained a thousand years
Well anyhow when I think about it I kind of become
Just like a picture of light where some other woman
Some other woman
She stood
Some other woman
Oh and we are all tied to ancient bits
Of string
We’re tugging against in the wind
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of pride
To sever the line and leap into the night
The night
But I got bright like lighting
And at the end of the day we’re all towing a line
Between which side is wrong
And which side is right
With the face split in two
You’re open to sigh
And the chasm is widens as you say
Goodbye
Goodbye

People drive so shitty in the city least they claim
Testing out your theory but worldwide it's all the same
You could call me pretty or you could call me plain
Would only be a pity if that got inside my brain
But I cannot change
I will not change
Sweet and solemn little creatures bumbling walks, kindred features
Parent, child can both be teachers, trauma will not besiege us
Could you be a true believer? Knowledge faith divine receiver
Inheriting your soft demeanour I will be no quiet achiever
Cos I cannot change
No I will not change
I cannot change
No, I will not change

Comfort Cycle
03:49
|

Every year I do the same
Cut my hair and I numb my brain
Anything not to feel this way
Comfort cycle is just a phase
The sky would just go on
Yet it all felt so small
And if we are just tiny dots
Inside a static shock
It would be comforting
To be the moment that you’re in
Apathetic well here's the balm
Nihilism will keep you calm
Friend you’re welcome with open arms
Heat death coming it's getting warm
And the sky would just go on
Yet it all felt so small
And if we are just tiny dots
Inside a static shock
It would be comforting
To be the moment that you’re in

NPC

If I’m an NPC
Why are you so cruel to me
I guess it is plain to see
You wanted, the bad ending
Start up, new life, new game
learn quick, quick-save, replay
can't take back your mistakes
override those bad endings
You could start a new game
Don’t overwrite your old save
The progress you have made
Doesn’t have to go to waste
I didn't want to push you
you fell as if you meant to
I didn't want to hurt you
but there's no consequences
You could start a new game
Don’t overwrite your old save
The progress you have made
Doesn’t have to go to waste

Dead Air
03:47
|

Concrete monoliths
Stand side by side
A djiti djiti darting
Between the phone lines
A harsh heat arises
From the bitumen
A harsh heat arises
A harsh heat comin’
The sprawling islands, they’re spewing heat
On the barren verges of paved concrete
We decimated culture and sucked the country dry
To build double-walled boxes we spend our lives to buy
We plot out divisions that we have no right to decide
Whilst the root rot permeates the urban divide
Welcome to suburbia
May you never leave
Dead air envelops you
Held without the breeze
Hell-filled debris
Hail the devotee
Holding onto me
Held without the breeze

Snap me in half and have all your dreams fulfilled
A lucky break for some
For others I cannot tell
Like the rooster announces the start of a brand new day
And the chicken she calls out to the egg she laid
Thy will be foretold
Depending on which side of the bone you hold
Forcula
Look to the birds to show the way of light
Look round your neck, look to the air to flight
Snap me in half and have all your dreams fulfilled
A lucky break for some
For others I cannot tell
Thy will be foretold
Depending on which side of the bone you hold
Wishbone
Which side of the bone

Its Bunuru, Second summer
As new life forms
We welcome
And we beckon
My two nephews
Are born
My heart is expanding
With tiny hands
Little baby
Just for you
We have such
Grand plans
My people
become parents
And I trust
The world will be fine
For the next
Generation
Is made
With perfect design

You look so distant
We’re inconsistent
Take all this squinting
To see we’ve been drifting
Two can be so easy
Until it gets hot
We will be bound to our
Melting point
Eurydice: Don’t look back at me
Trust the ground beneath your feet
Coz I need the light to set me free
But you trade a glance for eternity
Sing your way right down to hell
The longest road, hardest farewell
The voice, the lyre; divides the cell
Another tale doomed to retell
Orpheus: I journeyed far for you my love
But you only care for how short I fall
To sway the Gods you need the gall
And in my woe they were enthralled
Your footsteps soft as we rose on back
Do I check you’re there? Do I break the pact?
With the surface in sight, my patience snapped
A constant reminder of the faith I lacked
Two can be so easy
Until it gets hot
We will be bound to our
Melting point
