Liner Notes

Although this is still what I'd call #prog, I wanted to try something a bit different here. I never use drum loops, for a start; the vocals are bone dry with no reverb at all; rather than Jazz Bass, I'm playing #chapmanstick; there's only ever one guitar to be heard (and none at all in the verses or prechorus); and the lyrics are a departure, I reckon. It still sounds like me, of course. But I'm happy to have experimented a bit.

Lyrics

You reap the harvest
but sow no seed
You always take
what others need

Nothing you've planted
will bear you fruit
You're just a monster
In a human suit

You're asking me to join a fight
We have no common cause
How could you think that you were right,
reduced to grasping at straws?

While others push
You love to pull
All of us empty
While you're so full

A void inside you
A gaping hole
A bleak despair
Beyond control
