  • If you'd like to give us some money to spend on making more music, that would be kind. While we'd like it to be truly "pay what you like", bandcamp has decided that the minimum should be a pound...which, to be honest, isn't that unreasonable, if you ARE of a generous disposition.

about

I don't even.

lyrics

There's a place inside my head:
I used to live outside, now I live in here instead.
And every time I sing to you, I wonder if you care.
Why can't you treat me like they treat me in there?
Why do you keep looking at me with that blank, empty stare?

Softly on the grass
I hear your footsteps gliding past
And they sound as if you're treading on the ants but
I don't care, you've caused me more pain than I could ever take;
It's not as if you think about what you do.

I've been here so long I've lost count of all the years
I've sung my song and no-one hears
And no-one cares and no-one's listening,
So why even try?
Why even try?
