A musical sketch created by Tom Bailey as part of his interactive soundtrack work on my forthcoming DS game Diamond Trust of London.

Diamond Trust of London Sketch 10

Pulse
We’re putting out the call
The war outside is false
It echoes from within
Presents itself again

Isn’t it strange
How we call the outside world
Crazy, deranged, insane
There’s a pulse and it’s fading
But we claim we’re still alive
Through all the feelings we negate

We can do better
We’ve sacrificed 
Too many thoughts to sadness
And the anger in our minds
We’ve praised perfection
Over connection, over connection

Pulse
We’re putting out the call
The war outside is false
It echoes from within
Presents itself again

There’s beauty on the other side
If they can keep us from getting there
Maybe we’ll continue to fight
That’s their hope
But peace is known from inside
Not behind imaginary lines
Your guess is good as mine
If they can keep us fleeing enemies
Maybe we’ll continue to hide
All is dark, powered down our minds
For convenience 
In a stream of imitation life

There’s a pulse of denial
Like a lifeline, we’re clinging tight
A place where others are to blame
And fame is worth any price they name
But we know better, we’ve sacrificed
Too many nights to violence
And too many days to shame
We’ve praised perfection
Over connection, over connection

Pulse
We’re putting out the call
The war outside is false
It echoes from within
Presents itself again
