about

An apocalyptic, chaotic, desperate pop tune. But it's still a bop.

lyrics

Have you got the feeling it’s the end of the world?
It’s creeping like the shadows at the edge of a girl.
We’re walking on the tightrope of a fucked up circus show
Where the grand finale ends in a crashing fatal blow.

You haven’t seen me round, ‘cause I’ve been inward bound
And introspection’s something for which I’ve been well renowned.
And I’ve been taking score, more eager than before
To see which flaws I can accept and which I can’t ignore.
Everything’s shades of grey, it’s all the same to me
With no distractions I just sit in insecurity.

Been wrong all along, my vulnerability’s strong
Can I turn this crisis into a banging song…

Well it’s goodbye to the summertime, goodbye to the summer wine
Goodbye to the summertime.

So helpless is this feeling, at the end of the world.
It’s been this way since that butcher’s apron was unfurled.
Can we turn the tide of this already raging sea
Or will I simply turn my head deny responsibility?
