It’s too easy to run away,
So hard to face your fears,
Too easy to go,
To sink back below,
When dreams are near,
Becoming clear,
In view,
Something new,
The comfort of the old,
Of tales told,
Loving hands,
It all pulls and drags,
From a script yet to be wrote,
From everything unknown,
Strange lands,
Strange lands to roam,
Things to see and things to be shown,
Strange lands,
Strange lands to roam,
Things to see and things to be shown,
So which way is home?
Cos’ I don’t quite know,
Nor who or what I am,
Or where I’m from,
Concrete, soil or sand?
Perhaps I’m too far gone,
Strange lands,
Strange lands to roam,
Things to see and things to be shown,
Strange lands,
Strange lands to roam,
Things to see and things to be shown,
So which was is home?
Because I don’t quite know,
But to be fearless and free,
With an identity bequeath to me,
What new stories can we weave?
A new place to plant a seed,
Somewhere, maybe?
Purpose without a plan,
Here, in strange lands,
Alive,
With wild eyes,
Just drive,
Into sunrise,

Relentlessly weird and not really fitting in anywhere, this bunch of oddballs have a trademark fondness of switching up and twisting musical genre’s whenever the mood takes their fancy ...which is often.
