In superficie

Same Old Story

The "lost track" of Exosphere EP. The journey ends with a forever dream.

...lyrics...

Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream
And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time
Or any length of time you wanted to have
And you would naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfil all your wishes

You would have
Every kind of pleasure
And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each
You would say, well, that was pretty great

But now let's have a surprise
Let's have a dream which isn't under control
When something is going to happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be
And you would dig that and come out of that and say, wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it

Then you would get more and more adventurous
And you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream
And finally, you would dream where you are now
You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today

That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have
You would play that you weren't God
Because the whole nature of the Godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he's not
The first thing he says to himself is, man, get lost

Because he gives himself away
The nature of love is self-abandonment, not clinging to oneself, throwing yourself out
That keeps things moving
That's the nature of life

So in this idea, then, everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality
Not God in a politically kingly sense, but God in the sense of being the self
The deep down basic whatever there is
And you're all that

Only you're pretending you're not

Dream

But wait, there is a whisper on the wind
A single teardrop that is glistening on the skin
Raindrops falling, on the cracked earth below
Washing clean, the seeds of hope will grow.

Then Comes Dudley

Banksy- Miller/Malta 2016
Soon to be released album 'Fight or Flight'
SOMETIMES A SLAVE TO LIQUID LEISURE 
SHE WOULD LUNCH BESIDE
THE LADIES WHO HAD NEVER WORKED
A DAY IN THEIR WHOLE LIVES
SOME SAY SOCIAL SUICIDE BUT SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND CLEVER 
WITH AN EYE FOR ART AND CHAOS AND A VERY DIRTY MIND

VERY DIRTY MIND
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
THE KIND THAT’S BEST TO NOT UNWIND

CHORUS:
WHAT WAS LIFE BEFORE BANKSY
WHERE DID THE NEWS GO
HOW DID THE KIDS KNOW
WHAT WAS GOIN ON

TRY TO KEEP THE GOOD ONES DOWN FITS OF COLOUR AND ABSTRACTION
SOAKED IN LIQUOR ILL FITTED FOR THE VERY FAINT OF HEART
SHE SAYS THE THINGS THAT WE ALL FEEL THE VOYEURISTIC TENDENCIES IN ART OF A WOMAN WHO JUST FEELS TOO DEEPLY

CHORUS:
WHAT WAS LIFE BEFORE BANKSY
WHERE DID THE NEWS GO
HOW DID THE KIDS KNOW
WHAT WAS GOIN ON
WHAT WAS LIFE BEFORE BANKSY
PROTESTS AND LANDMINES
VERSES STENSILS AND TAGLINES
ON THE WALL 
THE WALL
ON THE WALL
THE WALL
WHAT WAS LIFE BEFORE BANKSY
