Apologies for the poor audio quality. This was recorded in lockdown and I couldn't acces my studio equipment.

lyrics

The stillness of a forceful hush
In solitude I think too much
Ceilings bend
And characters I work to please
Remove their masks and ask of me
“To what end?”

‘Cos if our lives are as vapour
Then this dream of eternity
Sprang from where exactly?
And why does it fill our days
Like the water fills the seas?

Philosophers and scientists
And governments and mystics
Decades spend
Uncovering and arguing
And analysing what we’re doing
To what end?

‘Cos if our years are numbered
Then this mining of mystery
Gets us where exactly?
But hope for the future we’ll find
Runs bedrock deep

Our triumphs and our miseries
The stories that we write with these
Hearts we rend
Certificates and bank accounts
Our spirits, they are crying out
“To what end?”

If this life has a purpose
A burgeoning destiny
Then show me
