Let me sway within your limbs
Til I am right again
Sway with me sway
Until your leaves begin to change
I've gone to seed and molded
Powered down the lamp within
Stray from a life of wanting
Be here now instead
Stray with me stray
Until we are air and branches
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Swim in the Wallkill River
Dissolve under the bridge
Swim with me swim
Until our bodies still
The siren souls call out to us
With silver on their lips
Breathing fire into us
Until we are born again
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Sway with me sway
Let's dance until the end
A symphonic grand lament
To our own requiem
We strayed, now we're grieving
We bathed until the drain
Let out all the water
And she lit the fires again
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
She kindles, we all burn
By our own hands
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we all come from
Sway with me sway
On the road to Maple Grange
Oh sway with me sway
This is where we all belong
Safe in mother's arms
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
Sway with me sway
Let's dance until the end

Our history, is a book with many pages
The ink runs off and seeps into the spaces
That we never filled
Too scared to ruin the blankness
Kisses never stolen
Mythic pieces of a story between us.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.
We’re the first ones the OG’s
You are Adam I am Eve
We drank from the cups deep in forgetting
Our marks are fading
Against my hope that’s copper bright
You’re a penny in my fountain, I’ve been waiting
For you to make some moves
Now I’m writing this song about you.
I carry you with me
A background process in my chest
Quiet wanting no mater who I’m with
Or how far apart we are.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.
That night under the stars
With the Three Sisters in our eyes
When your face was in my hair
I was carried off somewhere
I might have died right then and there
My soul in time with yours.

I am kindling when we’re close
A puff of air, a tiny spark

I’m engulfed again
Burned in my love for you.
I have known for a long time
I have known since the day that we met
The energy that greets me
When your body’s close to mine
Is the real thing.

Hum Out the Ending

I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
You sleep standing up,
I know you're spent.
Put down your head.
I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
You're never by yourself.

If in the dawn you won't wake,
So many souls will gather near you.
I won't let myself break.

I'll hum the song
And put you to bed.
I need you to stir
And breathe on your own again.

I'll hum to you,
I'll hum to you
Until it's time.
You're not alone.
I won't let myself break.

Trust me, I know
In every corner of my heart
You were ready to go.

I'll hum to you,
I'll hum to you
Until it's time.

You're not alone.
You're not alone.
You're not alone.

It's so easy to see,
No easy endings, endings.

Trust me, I know.
Trust me, I know.

Hum Out the Ending

San Kajati plays bass and arrangements 

lyrics
the gas and electric have gone through the roof
if this is living then show me the proof

all the money I’ve got that I have to my name
won’t pay the rent
won’t ease the strain

get your robot hands off me

i worked to the bone but the factory’s gone
now i'm told to have a go

stores are boarded up and the mall’s gone quiet
we’ve taken to the streets but there is no riot

get your robot hands off me

not an emergency
though there is a sense of urgency   
my head hurts I might need surgery

no food in the fridge
and my old man tried to murder me
and a letter from the agency 
says I earnt too much lately
though they can’t say when exactly
they treat me  like I’m a toxic allergy


2 and 2 is three
robot choose to believe


robot gets to choose 
where I get the kids shoes
that I can’t buy booze
that I’ve got too much to lose
i tighten the belt it tightens the screws	
like an offer I can’t refuse
join the queue 
at least there’s a queue 
and that’s good news

i do get to choose
do i spend my last 20 on credit
i need a phone but instead it’s
better to spend it on food
but robot gets to choose

Robot Hands

Tell me you love me
Even everything’s a lie
I need to hear again
These words in your mouth

So warm and bright is this new day
So cold is your face

Our eyes are closed
I’m all alone with you
And I can feel the pain
All the fights you have been through

Tell me you love me
Silence’s going on
Just your smile remains
I’ll keep it my mind

Our eyes are closed
I’m all alone with you
And I can feel the pain
All the fights you have been through


TELL ME

"What We Still Feel"

I see you standing in the rain,
Your shadow whispers through the pain.
I told myself I’d let you go,
But my heart can’t seem to make it so.

Your voice still echoes in my chest,
A quiet song that won’t find rest.
We said goodbye, but not for real,
Some wounds take longer to heal.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I built these walls to keep you out,
But all they hold is fear and doubt.
I tell myself I’ve moved ahead,
But you still linger in my head.

I tried to fill the empty space,
But nothing takes your rightful place.
I thought our story reached its end,
But now I see it starts again.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

If I could take back every fight...
If I could hold you through the night...
(I’d find a way to make it right.
‘Cause love like this can’t just fade out of sight.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I still love you...
I always will...
A love like ours is standing still.
What we still feel is all that’s true,
And somehow, I still... 
...feel you.

What we still feel (With Axel Menningen)

Tomorrow's World (The Future We Imagined)

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.
