Lyrics, music, vocals and all production by me!

You stood by the shoreline, feeling the undertow
I know you were smiling, thinking about where the currents go
You've been trying, you've been swimming against the flow
Seems like you're done fighting, seems like you're letting go

Funny how rope is a sentence when it's strung from the gallows
But it's a lifeline, a lifeline when you've drifted from the shallows
Well hold on, hold on and I will try to keep your head above the water
Hold on, hold on and I will keep you from going under, from going under

I've seen your fighting sprit, and I've seen you take it all on
Seen you crash into your limits, like a bird dashed against the rocks
Well precious things get broken sometimes, sometimes
But the scars that tell the story are the scars that you don't disguise

Funny how glass looks like diamonds when it shatters
Your heart, your heart looks like ribbons when it's in tatters
Hold on, hold on and I'll breathe life into you again
And your heart, your heart will fly like ribbons in the wind

And when the cracks in your soul are beginning to show
I will mend them with silver, I will mend them with gold
And when the cracks in your soul are beginning to show
I will mend them with silver, I will mend them with gold
And when the cracks in your soul are beginning to show
I will mend them with silver, I will mend them with gold

More Than Just

Widen out the lens, zoom right out there
There are places on this planet where they'll work for air
if the whole system's built on exploiting this
Are we really any better than the slave-trade ships?

Dan O'Farrell & The Difference Engine

Problems Inherent Within Global Capitalism

it's a cold democracy/that's putting frozen fingers on me
like indecision gripping my knees/ no fight or flight, I just freeze
& the future's like an incoming train/ & I'm sleeping on the tracks again
& at the end of the tunnel there's light/ but it's the intercity 8:25

I've been wasting all of my days/ waiting for permission to stay
I've been wasting all of my time/ waiting for permission to climb
I've been wasting all of my love/ waiting for permission to give
I've been wasting all of my life/ waiting for permission to live

maybe politeness is a curse/ you let everybody through first
& by the time you get through the door/ the cake's been trodden into the floor
but the alternative's just gross & obscene/ & pushiness is not in my dream
so I'd rather just walk out into the night/ cake-less in the sodium light

gotta strike while the iron's sat cold/ forge steel from my mercurial soul
temper my aluminium heart/ & sculpt the molten metal to art
