RELEASED ON JULY 15TH, 2025

Screech of seagulls in the pitch-black morning,
slumped against the bottom of the tree.
Watchful resignation to a lonely scrap-heap,
looking for the skeleton key.
In a mouse-scale room, in another universe,
an operation goes wrong in only so many ways.
You see a bright light on the longest night of your life,
with a laugh that lasts as long as you live.

LYRICS

It’s quite the shower for July
But you’re on the rooftop anyway
Bird-watching drones up on high
Lost in Bristol’s tangled brickwork sky
So you’re smoking your three-five
And wishing old mates back to life
Sadly killed by mild death
And bits of rubber given flight

Well now you’ve said some things online
That likely leaders disapprove of
“Who cares? All that shit’s online!”
With your portrait, name and birthday cake
You’re really not that hard to find
‘Cause we’re watching through the peephole
And we know just what you’re like
And we know just when you’ll break

There’s no need to apologize
When the access door creaks open
Your whole life just passed you by
Save the goodbyes for the ground floor

‘Cause all it takes on our end, mate
Is a swift push of the ankles
And you ain’t a pressing problem
But you had some Prozac problems

All it takes on our end, mate
Is a swift push of the ankles
And you ain’t a pressing problem
But you had some Prozac problems

All it takes on our end, mate
Is a swift push of the ankles
And you ain’t a pressing problem
But you had some Prozac problems

All it takes on our end, mate
Is a swift push of the ankles
And you ain’t a pressing problem
But you had some Prozac problems

You are here
Hiding in the fridge
Confused by most things
Sipping beer gingerly

You are here
As bright as you are breezy
Falling through the ceiling
Leaving plates in pieces

You are here
Patrolling ’round the avenue
The dirty tricks brigade
Shrivelled down to nothing

You are here
At the homes of the released
Falling through the floor
And the nail’s hammered down

You are here
Hanging from your bootstraps
Telling tales in the scorch marks
Swimming smell of chlorine

You are here
Rolling down the shutters
Appealing and revolting
Our immaculate conceptions

You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You are here
You aren’t here
You are here
You are here

The empathy crisis is a problem of leisure
A circular firing squad short on a spark
The neurons fry away without a care for the fuckers
Watching every second through the camera obscura

American morality is oil and water
The alphabetti spaghetti containment disaster
Target sales are falling much sharper this quarter
Reaction to events seen through the camera obscura

That pinhole dot in the brick wall of your hand
Casts shadows both of and not quite of this world
The blood rushes anywhere it thinks it has a chance
To catch a glimpse of our future through the camera obscura

And why would I take a step outside?
It’s only slag heaps left on the hill
And the band, well, they did play on
Until they forgot all the notes

Camera obscura
Camera obscura

Lawfare by tabloid
Hit by a school bus
Led by no leaders
Falling through trapdoors
A yarn is a yarn
If it makes quick cash
Future investments
Delirium tremens

Open for logging
A fool’s errand
Shot in the street
Asleep at the wheel
The editor-at-large
Would never steal a car
The News Of The World
Where on Earth is Rafah?

From the frontlines
To the corners of eyes
Those FPV drones
Tap-tap on windows
Some strength in numbers
But we do overheat
And eat all we can eat
So who’ll be killing who?

Feasting on the carrion
Dysentery’s fucking back, baby
Candles painting shadows
Feeling kicked in the head by a horse
Drunk off industrial grade bloodfeast
It takes a little longer to think nowadays
At least everyone else does too
It’s basically normal enough so yeah
The penny drops like a wet tissue
Zone, meet flood of shit
The nuns are meowing again
Did you know Fanta only exists because of Nazi Germany?
I fucking love Fanta
Poisoned by the food taster
I fucking love weed
These decades are getting really weekly
I fucking love cocaine
They should make it easier to dox people
Some heavy winds tonight
Something about ethics in video game journalism
Icing on a sinister cake
Does anyone else feel a little, woozy?
I think I have COVID
The tuberculosis twenties
Oh Dutch, I tried, I did
Wise words from Heathcote Williams
There’s a shit stuck in the chamber
A shot I mean, sorry about that
The Hastings Protocol
Not a document Keir Starmer cares to read
In God we trust indeed
Franchising is pretty feudalist in nature

Here come the waterworks, about as late as those trains
But we still missed the last one out of time
To tell the truth I wouldn’t wanna know where it goes at this point
‘Cause we are well past nineteen-thirty-fucking-nine
And I don’t really trust your sense of direction anymore
‘Cause look what your plan got us all into
The spark of two rocks would make a sounder judgment than you
So I think I’ll take the rocks, thank you

They paved the road over with very obvious intentions
The disenfranchised waver under hydraulic pressure
Some victory for the triple-glazed and triple-locked
And all those temporarily embarrassed
Strapped to the gills with thought terminators
Ask for steak in the jungle, you’ll go far
You’re all lone wolves acting in nobody’s interest at all
Well, fuck you and fuck your fucking pensions too

All I’ve got to spare’s a bright red shipping container
Full of surprise homemade humble pie
But that one sunk straight to the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz
So you’ll have to fish around hellfire to find it
For cannon fodder acting like the last line of defense
Mister wartime updates from News Throb XL
I know it’s no fun living through the end stage, mate
But you’re about as much use as tartan paint

Sometimes two seconds are longer than thirty
But I had made the choice even sooner
As the train to Misanthropica trickled away
I hopped aboard and held my head real low
Regretting every last sliver of good I did
If I could I’d replace it with poison
The landscape I pass by is grey and on fire
Europe is always a wonder

They paved the road over with very obvious intentions
The disenfranchised waver under hydraulic pressure
The thought terminators are strapped to the gills
With double-barrel twenty-gauge vertical vids
And now the bailiffs are coming to take my will to live
Despite their parking spots making double their pay
Welcome to frown town, population: everyone
And not a single one cared to stop the flood of shit

I thought we had more time
Goes to show what I know
The car veers into lake
Aerated canary yellow

Beset before a wall of ice
At a total loss of control
Of realities and facts of life
A face meets egg all yolk
To see somebody smile
The only bones they throw

Beset before a wall of ice
At a total loss of ignorance
It’s a slice of paradise
Pearlescent wings in tow

It won’t happen in this life
Or dizzying new heights
It won’t happen in this life
Or dizzying new heights
It won’t happen in this life
Or dizzying new heights
Or dizzying new heights

In a mouse-scale room in another universe
An operation goes so wrong in only so many ways
You see the brightest light on the longest night of your life
With a laugh that lasts as long as you live

Separate the fingers
And let the ash slip through
Oranges meet apples
Colourful metaphors two

In even the lightest breeze
It’s always the same creaks
Textbook jouissance
Loving lucidity

Singing in the rain
A letter in a bottle
‘Cause it’s all fun and games
In eleventh hour graves

It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
That’s all it is and will be
And we should take some solace in it, maybe

It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands
It’s all faith and chance
Built on shifting sands

To build a fire
Is to only smother
The inky black
Of the dead of night

Closing the book
In faux moon glitters
The satellites weep
And the snow takes the weak

Follow me out there
We’re only a blink
In monobloc chairs
All smiles over here
