Everyday is getting worse 
I can't find a single thing to get excited about 
I've got all of this anxiety pinned up inside of me 
I can't find an outlet, can't find a release 

[chorus] 
I need something that I can believe in 
I need something to drastically change 
I need a break from this endless monotony 
I need a beacon to show me the way 

All the walls are closing in 
There's no light for me to follow, I can't see the end 
Everything is crashing down on me killing me silently 
I've got to find an outlet, gotta find a release

Show Me The Way

All the means of feeling,
Yet withheld from human meaning.
You normalise death
By denying their lives.

By what right
Do you deny
Their interests,
While feeding
On their flesh?

Answer me, machinist!

Machinist

Fueled by the need for change and a yearning for something to mean something, One Eight Seven was born from the ashes of a once thriving Cape Town punk scene.

Since June 2014 members Kyle Lucky(Dead Lucky), Garreth Von Eitzen, Wessel Geldenhuys and Lance Brandow have been grafting away in a room tucked away within Valkenburg Mental Institution. The aim was not to produce something never heard of, or out of this world, it was simply to make music that carried a message. The product is their debut EP "Destroy"
