about

Existence is capricious and unpredictable; we cannot navigate through life unscathed. No matter how hard we try to be compassionate, empathetic, and tolerant towards the unknown, a part of us will always flirt with selfishness, jealousy, or vindictiveness. Accepting this duality is accepting our humanity.

lyrics

On the corner of the church road there's a body laying face down on the pavement
Blood seeping into the cracks of the asphalt but nobody notices
People passing by but not a single soul stops
A tree is best measured when it is down they say
Where is your god now

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he's a shadow of a man and he's just standing there

The first time he came round all bright-eyed and bushy tailed, sun shining, nose in the wind
Standing upright in a town where everything hunches down
Crouches
Unbearably grouching
Lusting and unafraid he was
Full of life
Full of light
Too bad

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he's a shadow of a man and he's just standing there

Unspeakable
Unthinkable
Do we simply look at what’s horrible and forgive it?
Do we simply notice but not see at all?
Truth is a beautiful illusion
But where is your truth now?

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Eyes water
Skin withers
Hands wrinkled
Disheveled and broken

Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he’s a shadow of a man and he’s just standing there

Now the reality of it all is of course
Much worse for wear
But he’s a shadow of a man and he’s just standing there
