about

We decided it was about time we put out a proper catchy reggae single. It was all going to plan until the distorted guitars came out and all hell broke loose in the studio!

This single will form part of the new album, which we hope to record at Momentum Studios this Spring! Please help us make it happen by contributing to our Crowdfunder target by pre-ordering the album here:

lyrics

Personalities are deceiving
Who knows what we’re really feeling?
Who knows what were needing?
In these times of strife
In our short-lived lives
Misleading the way to a happy path of sanity
A path that’s meant to be
That’s what he said to me
But I asked what is it meant to mean?
What is it meant to mean?

Don’t you know it’s not as easy as it seems?
Moving up higher, higher
Jumping through the fire, fire
Falling faster and faster into disaster
Into Mr Mindmasher
Sometimes getting somewhere
Sometimes getting nowhere
Falling into dreams and strange happenings

Don’t want to repeat history
That’s what I’m saying
But I don’t know how to play it
Don’t know how to gauge it cause
Change isn’t easy
And what will be will be
I’m an introvert but I lead an outrovert lifestyle
It’s a mindfield but I know it benefits me well
As long as it keeps me real
But give me balance to help me heal

Don’t you know it’s not as easy as it seems?
Moving up higher, higher
Jumping through the fire, fire
Falling faster and faster into disaster
Into Mr Mindmasher
Sometimes getting somewhere
Sometimes getting nowhere
Falling into dreams and strange happenings

Don’t you know it’s not as easy as it seems?
Don’t you know it’s not as easy as it seems?
Falling faster and faster into disaster
Into Mr Mindmasher
Falling faster and faster into disaster
Into Mr Mindmasher
Sometimes getting somewhere, getting somewhere
Sometimes getting nowhere, getting nowhere
Sometimes getting somewhere
Sometimes getting nowhere
Falling into dreams and strange happenings
Jumping through the fire
