Hopelessness 04:32
Day #1: I woke; I got no hope There was no one that I could turn to No reason to call or see you Just a continuum to pass through Saw no way out; riddled with doubt Living with the never-ending fear I did declare to brittle air, “Hope is a lie & there’s nothing out there!” Nothing but tragedy & hate Carry the fate we re-create Data is power It’s not too late There is no way, there is no way Then again, Day #2: my eyes! They realised all of the negative shit has been running me down Spinning me round Relief in knowing that one day I’d kill myself – I needed help (I need your help) I turned to you We went to the park Started to cry - apologised You said “There’s nothing to be sorry for” So much of me had been shut down Repression kills Got to let it out You said, “It’s OK, just take your time.” Out of my mind, out of mind I cannot live with hopelessness In hopelessness Where to begin when everything hidden within is an avalanche? Start anywhere, we’ll go from there Day #3 was my first appointment & it went pretty well So much to tell I need something to look forward to Put in the work The dirt & hurt They can’t deny my right to be alive Out & about I’ll shout it out I cannot live any time but now Where have I been & where do I go? Fucked if I know Fucked if I know but here we go I will not live with hopelessness I cannot live I cannot die I don’t know why You give me hope Somewhere to go I can see that I need to be happy & hopefully we’ll be free From hopelessness

Nine Ladies 02:27
I have faith in the sun I will soak up the rain No nobility in pain I was wrong When looking back, don’t stare You have always been here There is time to save this & each other, lover Love all the sun Love all the rain An unquiet brain Do you love yourself? I can offer some help I will always be here for you (If you want me to) Find a single foxglove Go to peer down it’s throat I cannot help myself Curiosity will be the death of me Love all the sun Love all the rain An unquiet brain is divine I’m overcome Thus I succumb to such bigger stuff than any of us Needed peace from drama Nine ladies & calmer When I need to be away

Taraa 02:45
Summer says I’m selfish & maybe she’s right I won every battle where I didn’t fight Beginnings are blind when there’s no end in sight Taraa to you summer All the fuss is over I’m buried alive The ocean is howling as its getting cold In my defence helpless the more I get old So I took to the streets for one last sip of gold Taraa to the ocean; all is forgiven You make me feel bold Since leaving you Summer all I done is wept I’m naked & scared & you’re all I’ve got left I tried being a man & what a big crock of shit Taraa again Summer, you will be my lover til our little death Til our little death Taraa little death

Spring 06:16
Ecce! O the time is leaving Though I needed no more than a breath Lifted up onto the ceiling When it came back in there was nothing left All I know now is that I don’t know anything about anything Within reason, one by one all of the little leaves begin displaying Must be the reason why I am covered in blood Get the feeling this might be reason why you’re looking at over me like I am a ghost Let my enemies know for sure, you are the sun April, the spring is fleeting A spectacle in abundance Our nature is in leaving Our resplendence is overcome April, the spring is fleeting A spectacle in abundance Our nature is in leaving You are the sun If I could change anything then I’d be out of the picture I want you to be something From despair – it will be better If I could change anything then I’d be out of the picture I want you to be happy You are the sun We were running out of time In the spring

about

One of our number wrote a poem about this E.P:

-

Spring is many things.

After the cyclical descent into chill winds & bony trees, swiftly there resolves a flourishing of beauty & blooming. Everything is possible & young & vibrant again, as if the ground itself is being cleansed.

The new replacing the old.

However, there is sadness & anguish in that too. As we continue to inevitably, naturally change, we mourn the things which passed, which themselves seem to look on from before, tilted with ever growing distance.

It wasn't perfect but they got us here, alive.
To the ghosts, cruelly harvested.
To the rejuvenating, a beacon.
The morning dew dissolving dusted cobwebs.

Spring is many things. For now, it yields solemn grace.

-

Also, mega taa for giving it a listen!!

Big love!!! xxx
