Too many metres, and miles That cover the ground between we Now it's cold outside, and we've found, It just ain't the same on a screen, Ones and zeros are sailing down rivers of identity One's hero is another's clown and all the rage in-between Will I see you, in the flesh, with all being well and risk free? There's millions more under duress, poverty is just down the street. And all those zeros in accounts, sitting just off out of reach Like Nero, and like now, a tyranny of power exists In the warm light, when it melts, polarised captains of industry When its logic, when its felt, when there's harmony in-between Take a new ride, down past the fear, of an other wise person like we, And too right, we'll soon be near, 'cuz it just ain't the same on a screen

Rose coloured hindsight Didn't see it coming Crises shines a light On decisions and the dumming of us down down down baby down down a rollercoaster Sweet sweet baby sweet sweet don't let me go down those rabbit holes, fundamental shoals, with the fear of being eaten is a hammer on your soul And its rife, been here a long time Baby's gonna wake up, baby's gonna shake up, baby's gonna grow up, walk into the wilderness Baby's gonna come back, hope baby's not a scumbag discerning truths and lies

And if your only slice is solely just the base and some cold meat, a little sauce to get pasta these days And the feelings if your grieving and the warmth you are receiving even though it can't be next to you today Understanding all the branding underhanded emotive language, an angry sandwich to fuel those bellies of rage And the dealing with conceiving that the old life needs leaving or upheaving on a mass global scale And the expanding of commanding your own flight and your own landing taking off from the safest place And the recieving of the meaning to look up from the screening and witness nature take its place And oh, it shines a light On what should be done right

Crystal dew slips and dangles off A leaf shaped bitten by pubescent moths Then falls into a current and is lost for good And just below the furry vine Some killer waits camouflage design To pray on passing suckers, unlucky, unaware Sit drying out old, or crawl the long road? Amber season saps from skin Preserving reasons trapped within To wrapping gooey gold around a memory Rippled disturbance, a fall from high Rocking Turbulence stretching wide To the edges of a shallow, that'll settle then calm again When all's bought and all's sold, where'd the water go?
