about

They say the arc of the moral universe bends, but it doesn’t. it is bent. By us all. Everyday.

We’re making fleeting choices each day to speak out or not against injustices, and every time a new voice of resistance is heard, it's another victory.

People everywhere are rallying against the forces of physical, mental and social inertia to rise from warrior-worn armchairs and fight for a more beautiful world. The streets are filling up.

Let's go from seat to street, from the supine safety of somewhere to taking risks in solidarity, raise our heads above the trenches as one.

Now is not the time to let shit slide. Don't let it lay.

This is the first of a series of new tracks, culminating in The End Of Fear EP in May 2019.

lyrics

I don’t know about you, friend,
or your futile fight
and i don’t know about your blue or how you
try as you might in the tv light again

But the weight of water
and the safety of our sun
pulls us down
its pulling on each and everyone
pulling on each and every one here

Now these are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
just trying to get out from behind the rock
to get hurt.

am i gonna let it lay?
no i won’t let it lay

When did we stop learning lessons
of that which we strive?
The essence of acquiescence is
in your supine eyes
when you sip the wine
but its cool, man, no it's fine yeah

the weight of water
and the safety of our sun
pulls us down
its pulling on each and everyone here
pulling on each and every one here

These are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
now its time to get our from behind the rock and get hurt.

I won’t let it lay
i won't let it lay
nothing here can’t change
the futures here to stay
its never gonna be the same
but you gotta wanna be the change

These are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
just trying to get out from behind the rock to get hurt.

am i gonna let it lay?
oh am i gonna let it lay?

Love will change the world around you
under clouds, over horizons
even in your silent hours
beyond where all darkness flowers
