about

We dream of a break in the routine of our existence
Of the machine stopping
It seems that some kind of tipping point must be reached
Life is too fast, too disconnected
But what happens when it all stops?
Total reset

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world..."
(The Second Coming - W.B Yeats)

I wrote this track several years ago in response to many things including the mindless drudgery of the daily commute and the mass killing of the bee population, a most critical link in our chain of survival. This is really a tribute to them 🐝🐝🐝

lyrics

What time is it?
Have I been asleep?
What happened while I was sleeping?
Is there anybody?

On the move, on the tracks
Crossing over, crossing back
Front to front, back to back

Making patterns on the day
On the windows, in the rain
Looking forward, no expression
Like we've done a million days

Keep dreaming
Keep holding on
We keep feeling
But no-one ever knows, on the surface
On the inside

What time is it?
What happens when I die?
Is there some way I could be living?
Am I anybody?

Moving on, on the tracks
Looking forward, looking back
Side to side, front to back
In our separateness

Making patterns on the night
On the darkness, in the light
Looking forward, no expression
Like we've done a million times

Keep dreaming
Keep holding on
We keep feeling
But no-one ever knows, on the surface
On the inside

What time is it?
Am I still asleep?
What is this madness we are living?
Is there anybody?

Keep dreaming
Keep holding on
We keep feeling
But no-one ever knows, on the surface
On the inside

Keep dreaming
Keep holding on
We keep feeling
And no-one ever knows, on the surface
On the inside
