lyrics

humans are so impulsive, they just don't think
ferrying in and out of sunlight because someone else did
add a pile to the mountain, subtract being able to see
multiply eight billion
that's what you're doing to me

there's shadows in the water, suffocating our wondrous blue
if every creature is only a number then so the fuck are you

where's your own opinion?
will you invite mother nature to dance?
or take a sip of abandonment?
cheers to you in advance

what will you do?
what will you do?
what will you do?
what will you do?

an infant's draining cry, a mother's empty call
a habitual melting pot, a walrus waterfall
you choose to swim in a place where toxins leak
there's fragments in your fish and chips - does it still taste clean?
a whale song frequency, it's not wonderland
bellies full of single-use washed up on the sand
take a great big breath, can you smell the fossil fuels?
noxious, reeking co2 in every molecule
creatures of habit do things 'cause they're told
the need for pasty flesh and bone has spun out of control
please take me back to how it was before
humans were not wasteful, rainforests didn't roar

what will you do?
what will you do?
what will you do to save me?

Their sad indie noise is a dialogue from two perspectives featuring male and female vocals in turn. Hailing from Southend on Sea, UK, in earnest is made a trio by the inclusion of instrumentalist Toby Shaer. ... more
