~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I’m wretched when
The fomo hits
I don't wanna stand there looking out of the window, but 
I don't wanna stick out when everybody here, fits in

Approachable
Disposables
I don’t wanna go if I don't know there's an exit
I don’t wanna go if there’s no way to get out but then

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out or no-one else does
Who cares?

I’m all out of
Neglectful of
Voices thoughts opinions and hanging around with them
I don't want to start something if we’ll just fall out again

The messenger 
Speaks semaphore
All I’m doing, is trying to, let someone know, that I
I don’t hold a grudge, but I know, I’m not meant to be out

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Who even cares?

Who cares?
Who cares?
When the lights go out and I’m all alone 
Got to figure it out - gotta have some fun
Who cares?

Every time you do something, there’s a very real chance that you may never do it again. What would you do differently if you knew it was the last time?

THE LAST TIME
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

There must be a million things
I’ll never do again
Like sleeping beneath the stars
Holding my father’s hand

When our lives are enchanted
We take it for granted
Sipping on borrowed wine
We misplace our attention
And nobody mentions
It could be the last time

If I knew what would I do differently?
Would I start weeping uncontrollably?
This could be my last time and I wouldn’t even know

It wasn’t so long ago
I kissed my son goodnight
Then one night I let him be
Figured he’d be alright

We’re all dying in pieces
And deepening creases
Prisoners of our minds
Can’t afford to be reckless
With something so precious
It could be the last time

It may sound a bit morbid
Tasteless or sordid
Dwelling on cruel facts
But these moments define you
And serve to remind you
It could be your last act
You won’t get this day back

This could be my last song and I wouldn’t even know

This Bright Circumstance

The Last Time

I hope you save me
Cause I’m being pulled apart
We’re so abrasive
Knew that from the start
They all want you
social butterfly
Just come to me
Will you come to me

Could be your hero
If it wasn’t summertime
Just keep me waiting
Wondering to pass the time
You’re not the only one who’s been let down
Just come to me
Hope you come to me!

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Oooooh!
I’m falling to pieces
Oooooooh!
I’m falling apart

And I don’t care
If you’re not alone
I need you more
Than just on my phone
And I think that
Something’s happening
I’m losing my mind
So just come to me

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing  to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

In the Stars

Memori

Ghosts of the Tsunami is the driving and intense new single from Isaac
Howlett, the charismatic singer/songwriter behind the internationally-
renowned UK synth-pop band, Empathy Test, now making waves as a solo
artist.

After three consecutive #1 singles on the German Alternative Chart (DAC) with
House of Cards, Endless Night and most recently Eggshell, which also peaked at
#13 (Germany), #15 (Sweden) and #31 (Spain) on the iTunes Alternative Chart,
Howlett continues to explore dark terrain with Ghosts of the Tsunami. Vocally, it has
the same anthemic, haunting quality as its predecessor, but here the beats and
driving bass provided by co-producer and mixer Daniel Myer (Liebknecht, Architect,
Covenant etc.) give the track a greater energy.

"Lyrically, Ghosts of the Tsunami was inspired by the 2017 non-fiction novel of the
same name, by Richard Lloyd Parry", says Howlett, "it’s about the aftermath of the
Japanese tsunami and some of the dead not knowing they were dead. The song
draws a comparison to the loss of feeling amongst the living."

Like Eggshell, Ghosts of the Tsunami already has some buzz around it, having been
performed live several times by Howlett at his solo shows earlier in 2025, but also
this September to December he is performing it with Empathy Test on their biggest
European tour to date.

A full EP, featuring the two original tracks, Eggshell and Ghosts of the Tsunami, a
“radio edit” of Eggshell, plus remixes by genCAB, Clan of Xymox and Suzi Sabotage,
will be released digitally and on CD in November. There will also be a 7” picture disc
featuring the two original tracks and artwork/photography by Bernd Schwinn.

Go on ahead 
Don't you wait for me 
It's too late for me 
There's no guarantee 
How I'll feel 
There's something wrong inside my brain 
Something that I can't contain 
Wish I could explain 

The radio 
Argues with my inner voice 
Nothing more than background noise 
Funny what the mind enjoys 
When it's wild 
Panic at the grocery store 
Everything is a such a chore 
What was it like before? 

I pretend to hide 
A light inside 
But it's just one more lie 
Don't give a damn about me 
My eyes have dried 
Mourning the light inside 

I smile and say 
Everything's alright with me 
So if you want to fight with me 
If you want reality 
Get in line 
Stuck on every simple choice 
Things that used to bring me joy 
Now just broken toys 

Can't fall asleep 
Can't focus on TV 
But it's even worse for me 
To let my mind run free 
An empty man 
With time on his hands 

If there's something I could do 
To make things easier for you 
Nothing's too much 
For someone I love 
Yes I can still love 
Yes I can still love.

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I haven’t got time for you
I’d rather spend time by myself
I like me more than you
Don’t make me lie the truth

I’ve got a million nice excuses
And you know I don’t mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

I’ve been there in the lights before
A quarter to four in a blur on the floor
Take a shot of spirit
With a thirst for more
Made me a monster

But you know I don’t mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look, to stare
Cos I’m not drunk enough to forget to care

Oooh ooh ahh yeah ahh ahhh
Ohh ohh

I can see the beast, beast of the night
And it looks like
Our last fight 

I can feel the fever of the night
And it sounds like
The best times and the worst times

I don't mind
Being alone
I don’t care to go out to be judged
And I don’t want to take flight with the beast of the night

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look to stare
Cos I’m not enough to forget to care

I can’t even dance anyway
It doesn’t matter what you say
About them being too drunk to look to stare
Cos I’m not enough to forget to care
