Lyrics:

Do you want to hear a lullaby
Fast forward to your last goodbye
I don't wanna make things seem strange
Strange
Cuz there's a phantom in the mirror of these dreams
And I cant  reach inside and pull her from the throne of the regime
The other side might not be what it may seem

What if my dream could take me to the other side of the mirror?
Would I still stare blank right back at me and tell me I'm not there?
Would the silhouette blindly serenade
Or Would the silhouette blindly fade in the glare of all the brighter things?
Not so many Brighter things
Would you see horse flies gallop around sticks of butter?
Or be dealt the reverse card and feel those wings flutter
Butterflies out from the gutter

Every mirror may have its portal
Like Doors to Monsters inc.
Imaginary friends or maybe I need a shrink
But all I can remember is
Honey I didn't shrink those kids
But now all the bees are calling dibs
Or they might be swimming with the squids
where are those kids?
They all look just like me
Where are those kids
Just little bugs rolling in mystery

Lyrics

What do I have to say
To make you stay
The world is turning now
Without me

Why do you have to keep
Just letting me retreat
This worldly learning is 
So lonely

Take my hand, dear
Help me to stand, dear
It thaws my heart, just
To have you near

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

You used to bring me
Coffee in the morning
You used to kiss me in the rain
I remember times so full of yearning
Oh will we ever feel that way again

Cos times are changing, so fast
Can we find the energy to last
This price we paid was it worth the cost
Or will we feel that all is lost

On the horizon
Sunset or sunrise
Facing death, or saving lives
Losing our faith 
Or finally arrive

swallow's flight

Fun song about breaking the thoughts and feelings that chain you down.

Little Things.  Oddrun Eikli and Axel Weiss, feat.  trumpet Arne Hiorth

The Failed States is a creative project based in an aged care facility in the leafy suburb of Wantirna, Melbourne Australia. 

Initially a recreational outlet, allowing residents to express themselves through music, poetry and sitting still, The Failed States has since taken on a life of it own. 

Anguished songs about other residents' grandchildren being too loud at the table tennis table, or laments of lukewarm, semi-set pudding were gradually replaced by powerful pieces about climate change, urban decay, relationship breakdown and stolen dentures.

There are no permanent members of The Failed States, we live on, as age, petty rivalries, and forgetfulness takes us all.

The Failed States tries to perform in the common room on the second Tuesday of every month, after lunch.
