Reason to Be

There's a reason to be
More than a little upset
If there's a morsel of truth 
I guess no one’s found it yet

Is there somewhere to go?
Where the people are good
If it’s so easy to do 
Why’d you make it look so hard?

Do you know who you are?
Do you like what you do?
You could find something new 
But it’s too much work right now 

There’s a room with a view
Overlooking the truth 
You could make it a home 
But at what cost to your soul 

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime
Torn pages in place of reassurances 

There’s a reason to be
Grateful for every day 
But you must watch what you say 
Because someone’s always listening 

Is there somewhere to go? 
Where the living is free
If it’s so easy for you
Tell me why don’t you just leave?

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime 
Torn pages in place of reassurances

Old faces, same places
It’s a new regime 
Still tongue tied and speechless
It’s another day 

(There’s a reason to be, more than a little upset, there’s a reason to be)

Reason to Be

Cause and Effect 

No cause for looking back
No cause and no effect 
We’re on the right track 
Don’t know where we’re going 
Come down it’s not too late 
Leave now, the car won’t wait 
You’ve got to navigate 
This wheel keeps on turning 

No chance of turning back 
Played a hand you can’t retract 
Trying hard to understand, why we even bother
Come down before too long 
We’ve got to motor on
You’ve got to navigate
This wheel keeps on turning

It makes no sense at all 
Can we be half sensible?
Are you listening?
Does it matter at all?
Is it circumstantial?
Does it feel like waking up?
It’s a matter of taste
It’s just a pattern of waves 

The world keeps turning
But we’re still not learning 
Are you listening?
Does it matter at all?
Is it existential? 
Does it feel like waking up?
It’s a matter of taste
It’s just a pattern of waves

Lyrics:

Aren't you glad 
That the walls came tumbling down?
Now it's done 
Everything can be replaced 

But you're here 
And we're all so pleased that you came 
All the same 
You still doubt each little thing 

Aren't you glad 
That the walls came tumbling down?
Don't be sad 
It's all we've ever known 

It's a shame 
That we treat each other this way 
Who's to blame? 
And on whose authority? 
On whose authority?

Aren't you glad 
That the walls came tumbling down?
It's a shame 
That we treat each other this way 
It's a shame 
That we treat each other this way 
And on whose authority?

Aren't You Glad

Found Instruments is the solo/recording project of singer-songwriter Jack Joseph Titcombe (Learn to Surf, Jack Joseph Band)

Specialising in a unique form of wonky psychedelia and lo-fi dream-pop, the project has produced a handful of well received singles and been featured on BBC Introducing.

Soft and ethereal vocals, similar to Tame Impala and Mac Demarco - Clunk Mag

Channeling the same smooth and woozy vibe as Tame Impala and Toro Y Moi.. Wonderfully textured and engaging - Mystic Sons
