about

Music started in March 2018 and finished in June, same time the vocals were recorded. Influenced by Industry by the old King Crimson.

lyrics

Embrace it at your best
Ignore it at your worst
Sounds simple enough
If I had the nerve
Embrace it at your best
Ignore it at your worst
Sounds simple enough
If I had the nerve

My escapism
Trivial, unrealised
My escapism
Dwarfed to miniature size
My escapism
Sidetracked and minimised
My escapism
Drowning, sinking, capsized

But I wouldn't know what it feels like
I'm the voyeur looking in
But I wouldn't know how I would act
I am detached from my subject
How I'd love to know what its about
But I don't push myself to a whim
And if there remains any doubt
It remains time currently keeping me in

Embrace it at your best
Ignore it at your worst
Sounds simple enough
If I had the nerve
Embrace it at your best
Ignore it at your worst
Sounds simple enough
If I had the nerve

I don't try and I don't dare
I'm not convinced there's someone out there
Or rather there's plenty scattered around
But are we likely to be sharing the same crowd?
Quiet implosion inside my mind
Its no grandstand clatter of any kind
I quietly collapse into my self
While you observe the (hollow shell)

I don't know why everyone cares
It should be ancient history
But they drag it into the light again
Correlating the misery with me
And I didn't do anything of note, honestly
But that seems irrelevant now
Their loss is public property
And I remain a man down

Don't know why everyone cares
It should be ancient history
But they drag it into the light again
And correlate the misery with me
I didn't do anything, honestly
That seems irrelevant now
Their loss is public property
And I am a man down

I'm not gonna deny it
I'm not that insecure
Though I veer close,
from time to time I'm sure
So I should best prepare myself,
should my guard be caught down
Don't want to feel like I'd
drive myself out of town

And I'm attracted to your vibrancy
Your hedonistic ecstasy
But its all very foreign to me
I am the voyeur looking in

I see where you're coming from
I know its a fright
But for me at least,
It's quite the perfect delight

I'm beginning to think that I've been had
Either that or I've gone mad
But I live in morbid fear
Of those who know the answer

But fantasy suits me fine
So why should I leave it today?
