A Drink Amongst The Dew

Written Nov 2019

Lyrics:

November
Is when the sun decides to settle for the year
I’ll shed a tear
For when the nights draw near
We’re older but are we really any wiser than before?
When half the world is red in tooth and claw

So dig your trenches, bury heads down in the sand
But don’t come cry when you can’t breathe
A narrow mind is blind and prone to hypnotise
So look past the spin

They’re burning Down Under clouds of smoke and fleeing to the beach
Oh can’t you see, the semaphores of the trees?
They’re drowning,
On islands missing from the radar of our thoughts
Until the war
That drives them to our shores

You’ll turn your back and say “There’s nothing I can do. Those fools are battling the tide.”
This apathy is cheap, it’s shallow and its weak
Turn up don’t turn in

Surrender
Every thought and feeling to the cloud control
Upload your soul
With #SaveTheTrolls
Get angry, and land a bitter punch on dissident retorts
Your temper’s short, cause they’ve pulled down your shorts

What’s with the mask again?
I’d like to see your face
I bet near enough we look the same
And toe to toe our brittle bones put on a show
And we’ll forget everything.

November
