Lyrics:

A party up on Cloud Nine
Of glass and steel, it sways wild
Got hundreds up on the rooftop
If one sings out for the smoke
Then hundreds want to join in
And then the smoke bomb it explodes

They breathe it like air to fill their weak lungs
It's almost erotic to choke
On this monoxide when it's in their lungs
They're killing themselves with every inhale
And smogging the streets outside
The fog has come and now it's here to stay

It's raining smoke on the streets
More grim and grey than black sleet
They've no idea what's below them
They're blind to what they destroy
The screams and cries from below
Don't reach their ears because they're plugged

They say it's not fatal yet they look dead
It's tragic to see them choke
On this monoxide when it clogs their brains
They can't seem to clearly think, they're far gone
Sobriety can't sink in
They see five of the same scene in their eyes

They have the whole world in their hands
And yet they never have enough
They want the easy way through life
And yet their pride is how they fall from grace at
All heights, fate, they chose they
Can't fight, wings, they melt in
Mid flight, sin, it makes their
Hearts blind, screaming to the black skies

It causes the birds and planes to all stall
And fall from the sky like sand
From far away in places they don't know
Embraers, they fall towards the towers
That loom in the skies beyond
What common men can never hope to reach

A cascade of failures led to this point
It's not a coincidence
That these monoxide addicts pushed their luck
These children of money, power and real land
They all cannot reconcile
That they all recreate the flames of hell

Monoxide

Brisbane-based musician Arkforest writes, sings and produces his own portfolio of works that venture deep into a wide selection of melancholic and bittersweet subject matters.

His Techno Rock sound is a finely crafted combination of aggressive, driving rhythms, frenetic basslines and finely orchestrated soundscapes, infused with hints of foreign exoticism.

He can paint surreal and wondrous universes with his sonorous voice and lyrics that immerse you in realities only limited by your imagination.
