about

Track 1 from 2023 release "Bomb!" out July.

lyrics

It's time for the end of the world show (step right up)
It's here again, whaddaya know? (no pushing in line)
You thought you were going just fine (mind the turnstiles)
Just when we were hitting our stride (linecutters will be prosecuted)

A symphony of birdsong rang out
A billion little voices sang as one
But as I drew in that deep breath
I found myself a little tone deaf

It seems we've run out of time (right this way)
The conductor has given the sign (we're watching you closely now)
We've come to the end of the tour (get your tickets now)
We're told there won't be an encore (mind your manners)

The waves crashed in with highs and lows
And as some ebbed, the others flowed
But as I heard the swell and subside
I found myself forever locked outside

One note out of tune with the rest
Screaming that ours is the best
While listening to the cord's death
One note drowning out the sorry
One note pretending that we don't know
Where the bees went
We're discordant

A grating note out of scale
A half-assed plan doomed to fail
Harmony's last coffin nail
Pretending that we'll change tomorrow
Pretending that we all don't know
What it all meant
We're discordant
Where the rain
We're discordant
Took it all and there's nothing left
We're discordant
Ashes in our mouths with our final breaths
We're discordant
