about

This came together very quickly, largely an improv that I recorded first and wrote down afterwards. The backing track is our electric coffee grinder run through effects. Because I'm not good at instruments, but I can play the shit out of kitchen appliances. I like the echo-iness. I feel like this is the track I would hope Robert Smith would like. I mean I have no idea, but I like to hope that he would if he ever heard this album.

lyrics

LYRICS

Drop in the ocean
Drop in the ocean
Drop in the ocean
And almost gone

Falling in patterns
Falling in patterns
Falling in patterns
Break or bend

Bend or break

Spending a lifetime outwaiting disaster
Spending a lifetime on pointless dread

What's in my head?

This could be more fun
Gonna be more fun
Couldn't it be so much more fun

Dancing for joy just speed up the tempo
Speed up the tempo and twirl
Me round again

A whole new mindset
A whole new mindset
A whole new mindset
Couldn't it be so much more...

A whole new mindset
A whole new mindset
Dancing for joy just speed up the tempo

No more waiting for disaster

No more waiting for

We are breaking patterns now

We are breaking
we are breaking
we are breaking
but not like before
