lyrics

I’m subsumed, I’m consumed
By a network of cables and colours, digits and light
In my dreams there’s no screen
But when I feel fluidity the warning is amplified

Return to normal
I don’t think I’ve had enough
What about you, would you like to
Return to normal?
There’ll be room for all of us
If you help me swim across

(Nefarious deeds!)
Apologies, we are receiving interference

Hear strange things leaking in
There is a code somewhere that is always just out of reach
These echoes seem to grow
And invite us to places so maybe the walls were breached?
If I fall someone will take my place
I let new worlds spin into my orbit but there’s no space

Spill my coffee on the keys
But still I’m swimming in the data stream
If this all has to fall so do we

Return to normal
I don’t think I’ve had enough
What about you, would you like to
Return to normal?
There’ll be room for all of us
If you help me swim across

Our systems used for nefarious deeds
The internet was made here, it's our technology
Hand us the map then quickly look away
We can cut up the cables and destroy the charade

Toss my phone into the Lea
Regret it later so I jump right in
The dirty river pulls me upstream

Really enjoy the organ interplay with the guitar. The drummer is tight and bass is steady. They meld sooo well that their sessions could be an entire album side. The use of fusion and progressive beat and tone changes. The Bear

This music turned me into the ginger version of Shaft! Rocking funk-tastic with alot of eastern sounds to it! a energizing yet mellow vibe to them! John Chaos Alexander
