Modern life arrived deceased A hole where nature used to be And I Could take all of the slings Had a clue which direction we were moving in Talking heads will sell you south High on horses gonna ride it out And we know that you know Almost too late so we have to get it started Have to say we're not surprised Deal in sleight of hand, no straight reply Now why Should we bet the house No intent of paying up just cashing out Tend the garden that feeds all fools Don't pour on the oil, make cleaner tools And we know that you know Almost too late so we have to get it started Thought my eyes were open, why did nobody tell me? Everything was peachy, now its looking unhealthy! Family is arguing, you'll struggle for the words Expert plans a eulogy, a paywall to be heard And if facts won't bail us out Gold chains and all the feelings will help us drown A wave is coming if you know what I mean Projected and dissected over billions of screens Rather not think about it, drink and shake the booty Keep your mind on fashion lines, cults are recruiting You can find what you want, only at a price Cracking under pressure, should be learning to play nice Plant the tree you'll never sit under If we fade away who will count the plunder? What's to do, just sit in my room? Sounds like survival, still looks like a tomb Silver tongued, but we smell a rat Keeping drilling, how original, coulda told you that And I Don't get how you're surprised Cartoon villains maybe should all wear a sign All the skeptics, everyone devout Surely see we can do without And we know that you know To build a better future we have to get it started Vampire nations don't need a priest Invent in your bedroom, globally release If they Drag their feet gotta do it yourself Wouldn't wait on a burger chain to care for your health Only have a few years at most Self organise coast to coast And we know that you know To build a better future we have to get it started Can't speak for me til you've spit my bars Take my shoes you can wear 'em, can't run a yard! Oppa-lenz made us late for rent Broad media training causing over-spend Champagne buttons are ethically gross Last days of Rome in your social posts Seeking affirmation, not a conflict unabated Who walks into a knife when the whole truth is serrated? Obvious you want to live your life A place to dwell, tucked in at night I feel that pull but can't ignore Every sign and the omens are at our door Not enough to carry on or trust in others to get it done First chimes of midnight have begun to ring Gotta try or being human doesn't mean a thing Unite and join the fray, it's all or nothing Only constant is to change, nature of time Promise we're not falling back, a second dark age But continue this divided, our potential's betrayed Your anger's justified, just misdirected Pointed at those just arrived, powerless like you Barely grazed the heavens before hitting the ground Look at what we built together in just a short go-around No more I told you so's Find out what moves your soul Search out a common thread We'll get there, our hearts bared No more I told you so's Find out what moves your soul Search out a common thread We'll get there, our hearts bared

Was only out for the weekend Down to have some fun Not looking for the one Simple scraps of conversation Big beats and friends Caught a glimpse now and then Moment immortalised Hands brushed each other, I met your eyes Not left my mind Never had a friend like this All the crew would tell me that there's other fish But I know what this is Sure you felt it Keep it platonic If i'm honest It's terrifying Held it together Starting to waiver I need a saviour Or I fall apart Too scared to cross the floor Just to find out if you wanted more Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back Don't you know after all this time? You smile is enough to blow my mind Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back How can joy be so tense? Always tied up in knots Caught me on the hop Don't ask me how i'm doing I don't want to lie And say i'm doing fine Now you're asking for the truth Short term friends, but you know my moves Voice so low and smooth Should be more drunk than this Jump with both feet, make it worth the risk Don't you swing and miss Sure you felt it Keep it platonic If i'm honest It's terrifying Held it together Starting to waiver I need a saviour Or I fall apart Too scared to cross the floor Just to find out if you wanted more Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back Don't you know after all this time? You smile is enough to blow my mind Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back Too scared to cross the floor Just to find out if you wanted more Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back Don't you know after all this time? You smile is enough to blow my mind Look back – Look back – Look back – Please look back I was a player, tasted all flavours Was fun while it lasted, but was never enough You danced into my life and i'm soaring Too scared to cross the floor Just to find out if you wanted more Look back – Look back – Look back – You looked back Don't you know after all this time? You smile is enough to blow my mind Look back – Look back – Look back – You looked back Too scared to cross the floor Just to find out if you wanted more Look back – Look back – Look back – You looked back Don't you know after all this time? You smile is enough to blow my mind Look back – Look back – Look back – You looked back Look back – You looked back Look back – You looked back Look back – You looked back at me

We can look anywhere, at calls and responses all these walls To the uninitiated it would look like a brawl Our betters listen in, other taken the fall Partly our fault It handles everything, all the services we could ever need Make life frictionless, sign something we'll never read Tip your Typhoid Mary cuz we can never leave Time of death and greed Here we are locked into our homes Listen to the pundits drone on and on Flexing on conspiracies, arguing empirically Circle back around and nothing gets solved Might be because my mind is getting bent I could swear the strife's no accident Cuz you're acting like the only one who's hurting Is it just me or is the world outpouring with pain? We're at the mercy of whim Noble inventions wearing wolf's skin A few big players hold too much sway How can a distant few understand our race? We all shut up cuz we need the rent Getting brutalised if we start to vent There's a price for pushing people farther and we'd rather Sit back but it's hard to relax We can't afford anything But you advertise, extend me a line Even half the time, I can't tell what is even mine The pace is blistering, losing all sense of time Feeling left behind Work the 40 hour week Sink or swim, we can only tread Robber barons so generous Give us now our daily bread Who thought that the brightest light would catch us unprepared Can't sleep, i'm scared Have to focus amid the noise All fine appearance, no grace or poise Living in complicity Everything we buy or read Take a ticket, you're in line for opportunity I didn't say that I agreed to this Just nature, said the shark to the fish There's no curbing or dissuading, they'll just keep on masticating Til we're braver and stop being prey Pyramid scheme now fully digitised Took a while but now we realise Caged in dopamine, passed the point we get out clean Clues to mitigate it if you read our browsing history Have to say that we'd make a better show Writing's uneven and the pacing doesn't flow All in the edit, setting up a precedent Network only good as its weakest link Hey, we get it, you want to escape While we put out the flames, you'll just have to wait Denying the fumes are choking us both Crops spoil in the field, demanding more growth Getting hard not to use the past tense Monopolies breaking peace for dividends Spreading illness, ignore the evidence Grand finale for a captive audience Hey, we get it, always had things your way You can fight it, but opinions are swayed Put out the ads, fake news to repost World is changing, and it's not what you know All the backlash, cancelling who you hate Doesn't cut it, pariahs will be replaced Surface reading, you'll never get enough We're all connected, much more than we're worth See the web we weave Wasn't founded on greed Hey yeah Young and full of hope Built by the great unclean See the web we weave Wasn't founded on greed Hey yeah Young and full of hope Built by the great unclean See the web we weave Wasn't founded on greed Hey yeah Young and full of hope Built by the great unclean

Everything fuzzy All around grey and brown Crack up above me Sickly light pouring down Instinct won't move at all Lay here and wait it out Shadows are creeping Preparing to head south The rope rubs against me Beckons, it reaches out Hurts just to push free Grip just the right amount Decided to pull about Wrestling with torn parts Everything fuzzy All around grey and brown Scratching on the floor at night Our kind, born to defy Null space we always occupy If I lay here, inaction in reply No easy option, still decide Simple choice, I want to be alive Each have our pick of precedent Despite our birth of accident All the effort truly moves me Telling tales of things improving Though my back is raw, legs are bent To get back out I find the strength If fate is yet to be proven Might yet affect my conclusion Hand on hand, slowly climbing Rope is burning, it's better than dying Cuz finally I'm tasting fresh air It's better than sugar or lovers hair One last push and i'm over the edge Was the sky really this blue before? No straight lines, rolling on it's own reward A stumble feels like flight Each breath becomes a sweet delight Don't want to slip on down again Take it all in my stride Take it step by step Bit by bit Much as you can take Might be more than you think Take it step by step Bit by bit Much as you can take Might be more than you think
