about

Recorded in my living room with just the gear I have with me on my computer. This is one sample of a 50 song project I'll be releasing throughout the coming months, through to the end of the year.

lyrics

never have I been in this plight
not today and not tonight
if I choose to fight then surely I'll die
if I never fight, I’ll never die
instinct to live, what a coward am I!

never have I been in this condition
not before, nor ever again
if I choose to love then I will lose
if I never love, I’ll never lose
self-preservation is a lame excuse

never have I been in this disposition
ever before nor ever again
if I choose to breathe, then I’ll hope
if I never hope, I’ll never breathe
man created philosophy

don't give up your real name
