The Flying Eyes - The Drawbridge

from ENTERTAINING the INVALID by V/A - Matt Wand

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    proper glass mastered compact disc edition, all the tracks, printed card wallet, 8 page art paper riso printed booklet of the verbose and vaguely illegible variety, with texts by Matt Wand and Sebastian Weetabix attempting to bring the context of the music sharply out of focus ( don't worry the pdf version with the download is perfect for those of dwindling eyesight ), shrink wrapped for extra sensitivity and all shipped at the most reasonable postage rate we could arm bend the post office into ( sorry 'Rest of World' Royal Mail wouldn't do it any cheaper :[ )
    At least with the physical goods Bandcamp don't force us to charge you VAT! any consolation?

    Includes unlimited streaming of ENTERTAINING the INVALID via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
    ships out within 1 day
    edition of 300  2 remaining

lyrics

This is the room, where we are
playing guitar, like a star
no one can touch us
no one is here
opinions fly over
we don't shed a tear

This is the room, a safe sealed space
a far distant planet, no humans, no race
no one will hear this
no one will care
take up the drawbridge
there's no need to share

yes, this is personal
i don't have a doubt
everyone else is
a shadow without

This is the room, where hope is expressed
forbidden thought spoken, no dream repressed
no one will enter
no one will leave
windows are boarded
there is no reprieve

This is the room, in which we wait
forever and ever in a blessed state
no one remembers
no one sends flowers
salvation is fiction
rejection empowers

this is survival
i must build this wall
the slings and the arrows
won't touch me at all
