lyrics

You seem to worry all the time
tryin' to clean the dirt and grime
jaded and always left behind
facing a wretched fragmented mind

You seem to worry all the time
carrying your thoughts wandering why
you step outside and see him there
he rays a grace that's hard to pair

He gets born and he dies everyday
that’s not the only price to pay
he digs a hole and sleeps within
he’s thinking “China must win”

I saw him standing in the crowd
two nightingales were singing loud
some said that he was not allowed

They thought they lost what he had found
but he just splits without a sound

I keep him a tree a honeycomb - he reads the distant future
I embrace with love his biggest loss - he’s both a wound a suture
I keep him a candle and a cross - machines built to be useless
he draws on sand a dream I had so I kill my precious rudeness

He steps in and quickly claims some ground
he gathers passers-by around
he tells them what he had just seen
he says that China must win!

too many love songs around us to be sung
too many love songs around us
too many love songs that always make us sick
none of them speak for that man

By far I'd say this is the best album I've listened to in the last 5 years. Each song has its own story to tell whilst definitely getting stuck in your head. 11/10 Guys keep up the good work 🤙 (also great to listen to whilst high or on acid) tpm55

How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing. Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times) Fav track: I am the beyonder ooijerm

Excellence in production, crystal clear sound and amazing riffs! Even if you don't speak the language you get the pure punk attitude. Xanthos sounds like the kid no family wants to have nikos_ls
