about

This song was originally recorded on my 2020 VISION album. Lyrics and melody for the second half of the song written by the wonderful Connor Nutt.

lyrics

Shirt of The Apocalypse
Since no-one seems to pay attention,
I thought a shirt a neat invention
to let you know its end-of-times.
The apocalypse is now streaming onlive.

Tried invoking wise words of the Dali Lama,
threatening Gaia and the worst of karma,
maps and facts, hard-hitting drama.
Spoke truth to power on cold street corners
to no avail.

When we burn - as we drown.

Generational pain, even the brainwashing
can't shift the stain. Pass the parcel of blame,
again and again and again and again.
There's a hole in our hearts, deafened by silence, blinded by the dark so we try to escape, and run into the arms of that which we're afraid. But it’s not the end of the world if we wipe ourselves out of this infinity. Universe is fine, and my life's not mine,
the truth is it was only ever a lease.
