Teenagers in the dark scaring women in the park
They’re not the nicest creatures haven’t had the best of starts
Their mother doesn’t love them because their father up and left
When he saw their muelling faces bursting from her bloody chest
There’s a crack in the ceiling and the water’s coming in
But I’m scared to go outside with everything I’ve been reading
If you were more exciting you’d be living in sin
You should be starting riots but you’re just moaning
I tried to tell you how to walk how to run
I kind of hoped that you would play along
Give me my ball back
I want to go home
I saw you on the tv you’re a talented kid
You got your 15 minutes and you deserved it
But lets not rock the boat not whilst it’s going so well
I mean sure they’re laughing at you but that’s just how it goes in hell
The drunken crowds are cheering as the missiles start to hit
And if your children are starving well you voted for it
The prime minister’s laughing because he’s got it in the bag
He holds another party whilst we bury granddad
I tried to tell you how to walk how to run
I kind of hoped that you would play along
Give me my ball back
I want to go home

Postpartum

Endlessly defeated by such a tiny thing
I can’t think when you’re screaming
I’m trying to teach you the best way to survive
but I’m lacking motivation when you won’t play nice
And everything that’s ever done is always done for you
I used to sleep and fuck and eat but now I never do
So tell me what you’re feeling when you’re feeling like this
I’m drowning in the emotion of all your constant shit
I’m freaking out a bit I mean like honestly I’m done
I’ll be the first to admit I’m postpartum
I’m postpartum

The Centre Won't Hold

All the other parents have been lined up here for years
I don’t know how they got so early
They talk about the weather and all their favourite shows
But I haven’t seen any of them
And the women still like shopping and the men they still like games
And every single one has got a tell
The end of days is coming but life is hard enough
It’s best not to dwell
I’m bored but I need you to settle down and rally round the stump
I’m not much for conversation but we can cuddle if you want
We got a note through the door from a neighbour saying he was getting sick of the noise
All the clattering, clanging and whining that might child makes with her toys
But let her play with her goddamn things let her just bury her head
Do you want to tell her that daddy fucked up and now everybody is dead?
All the light is gone
Sacrifice the young
We just soldier on
And sacrifice the young
I can’t believe what I’m hearing
The colour of the shape we’re in
All of the children we’re eating
And yet we’re celebrating
As we fiddle with the edges
And huddle from the cold
No strength in numbers but hey
The centre won’t hold
All the light is gone
Sacrifice the young
We just soldier on
And sacrifice the young

Evening on Earth
by Colonial Skyway
supported by 22 fans who also own “Postpartum”
This is brooding & menacing. It has a radio waves, broken transmission feel to. The featured machines haven't neccesarily taken over, but they're inescapable. Waiting. Watching. Especially love Fairway. It sounds like the ocean - but this is the waters swirling around Fang Rock, in the middle of the night. There's danger afoot. Beautiful stuff.
