let it be damned, this internal war
every day feels more sore 
than the one before
Styx Caleen in Coruscant
stranded on dystopian shore
not getting high for the lore
thru the darker night insomnia
awake 'til light, the hours bite 
the longer the sighs 
the more we know

Bix, tell me do you know why
there are wounds festering in our cores?

it helps a while, makes forget  
yeah Bix, it makes us forget:

how to live, how to smile, how to fly
shy shy shy
away from any boring TIEs
bye bye bye
to the love that in the gutter dies
cry cry cry
for it don't matter
doesn't even matter how hard we try
it won't let go
it won't let go
keep that in my mind

be with me a while, Bix
hold me tight so I can cry, Styx

we look into each other’s eyes
see all the way too many goodbyes
no peace in our hearts, they shout
until it sits in all hearts under the suns
grand is our dream of universal love
but the speeches that we give slap hard
against those concrete fucking walls

can't get out
help us
help us
we can't get out, we watch each other's
suffocating suffering souls
in all the beautiful beauti-
the beautiful beautiful
capitalist noise. 

04 Bix, it makes us forget.

we are free now
       or so we think
it's in your face 
       we spit
must be loud / 
         must be loud
                  we are no longer your grit!

like a child in terror 
like a child in terror 
like a child in terror 
like a child in terror 
    / bleeding from the heart
like a child in terror 
    / bleeding from the heart
you'd rather die with a thousand hypotheticals
                        than offend anyone?
hmmm?

(...)

say, can we stop lavishing in slavery 
(hmm?)
and live a life away from money chains ?
say, do we feel the lungs on Kessel fail
or perceive only our needs ?
say, do we see, do we see
that all the wastelands in the worlds
only ever come from riches ? 
(hmm-mm?)
do we fear, do we care
for what we leave behind our children ?

hmm-mm?

we are free now
   yeah yeah yeah
  or so we think

hmm?

Pink Drone are an electronic band from the Midlands UK. The debut album 'Fluxus' was released on 23 November 2020. It's the sort of record that could have been put out by Factory Records in 1980, but a very welcome addition to the 2020's. Pink Drone's sound also borders on the classical, being synth-driven post-punk with plenty of references leaping to mind, including early Human League, Wire and Joy Division (Isolation)  The second Pink Drone 11 track album 'Modernism' released 10th June 2021.
