Vipers 02:59
We'll be you friends, we'll be nice to your face But we'll bitch and we'll bite 'cos you don't know your place If you're not one of u then you're no-one at all We can block your success, we can laugh as you fall It's an exclusive club; you won't get through the door Our superior scent flows from every pore When you're nervous we love; when you grow then we hate If you become a threat, we must exterminate Toxicity and our network of spies Burning hostility, rotting death in our eyes Learning all that you love, learning all that you do So that we can destroy all that's human and true Lie through our teeth, full of pomposity With our grandiose thoughts and our dishonesty By the time we are done, you will have nothing left, You'll be half of yourself,you'll be broken, bereft Bleak, empty shells; we have nothing inside But our ambitious greed and our ego and pride We won't give you a thing but we'll take all you've got We will eat from your plate and we'll leave you to rot We'll keep you out with our fences and walls We will hide behind rules and our strict protocols If you try to rebel, you'll be shit out of luck If you lose all you have? Well, we don't give a fuck We are vipers

Blunted sword Dented shield River dry Barren field No concerns To attend Killing time Til the end Muted colours everywhere Only grey to see Muted colours everywhere Faded memories Muted colours everywhere Broken melodies Muted colours everywhere Crushing gravity Shadowland Withered trees Picture framed memories No more strength, no more fight Won't you switch off the light? Muted colours everywhere Only grey to see Muted colours everywhere Faded memories Muted colours everywhere Broken melodies Muted colours everywhere Crushing gravity

Needles 04:26
Shrinking world Shrinking view Thinking gone False is true Everyone In their cage No more sun Disengage Can you hear the needles coming? Isolate Quarantine Touch the world Through a screen Trapping all In the net Uninstall Great reset Keep us safe And secure Killing us With the cure Can you hear the needles coming? Can you hear them drawing up for you? Stay at home On your home Monitored By your phone Future technology Will replace You and me Can you hear the needles coming? Can you hear them drawing up for you?

Broken connction Silent TV This house of horrors Begs me to flee Empty and cold Robbing the grave Trying to hold on Trying to save Night is awake Night is awake Swallowing whole worlds in its wake Citizen ship to Faraway land Violent valleys Blood in the sand Misaligned thinking Fear everything No relaxation Just suffering Night is awake Night is awake Swallowing whole worlds in its wake Fragile and precious Handle with care Always protecting Always aware No common helix No common blood Panning for gold Here in the mud Night is awake Night is awake Swallowing whole worlds in its wake

Feeling disconnected Having to pretend Having no affect and Nothing to defend Life is grey for the Monochrome man Black, white, grey for the Monochrome man Outside, inside monochrome land Life is grey for the Monochrome man Silent conversations Speak internally Safe in isolation Free from company Life is grey for the Monochrome man Black, white, grey for the Monochrome man Outside, inside monochrome land Life is grey for the Monochrome man

You never vote for us We stay anonymous We programme everyone We have already won This is the Brave New world go back to sleeping We keep you separate Full of fear and hate We force you to obey We're closer every day This is the Brave New World go back to sleeping We've got you all locked in You know you'll never win You're not allowed to hug Without our wonder drug This is the Brave New World go back to sleeping

Glimmers 04:54
Keep it out of reach Keep it out of sight Far enough away Far to far to bite A tired breath When all is wept And all that's left is goodbye To something, to nothing To complicated longing To that last glimmer in your eye All throughout the years Living out of touch Stuck in different gears Didn't mean too much A tired breath When all is wept And all that's left is goodbye To something, to nothing To complicated longing To that last glimmer in your eye

about

An album of Downwave songs about loss, anger and emptiness.

Fairly minimal electronic structures, with shades of acid, reverb-soaked squelches and vocoded vocals.

A snapshot of the inside of my head for a little while. Don't worry, the next one will be upbeat and sunny!
