about

New song recorded live in session at Kesbri Studios, Bolton in August 2017.

lyrics

Close your eyes and count to thirty
like we're playing hide and seek.
I had hoped I'd never have to tell you
but the outlook's bleak.

We're no longer little boys.
We need wind farms on the hillside.
Born of broken men in an existential mess,
you know I've always had a darkness follow me.

Though there are many like it,
this depression is my own.
I might look alright but I'm struggling tonight.
I just can't wait to get gone,
live to fight another day.

It's a common misconception,
a delusion held up as true.
This is itself not news,
who's delivering the prove?
If I sleep I dream I out-run illusions haunting me.

Though there are many like it,
this depression is my own.
I might look alright but I'm struggling tonight.
I just can't wait to get gone,
live to fight another day.

Celebrating life in my own way.
Don't waste your time every time you pray.
If you're chasing light,
live for today.
