    At least with the physical goods Bandcamp don't force us to charge you VAT! any consolation?

lyrics

TunnelSickness

The exit tunnel is hidden behind the shower unit.
a standard feature in this model sleeping tube.
tunnels are rarely in complete working order.
it is taken for granted you can recall the basic facts.
there are exactly 104 of you remaining.
mrs Calibrate is now the designated medical professional.
you are cautioned strongly not to mention Dr Zone to psychiatric orderlies.
officially there are no such things as 'difficulties'
commit precisely nothing to paper.
by our natures we want..
the illicit, the punishable, the gorilla.
discipline is left to the house mother
sabotage occurs on the subtlest levels.
you are late for your audit!
I have always been proud of my green fingers.
the recurrent dreams stopped last february.
there is no logical reason why.
like icebergs only a small part of ourselves is observable.
one must learn to cook with the available materials.
imagine a field full of stinging nettles.
now run bare legged through that field.
those imaginary stinging sensations are your future.
tension hangs over the fifth quarter.
indiscretions rarely stay hidden.
yesterday we received an unpleasant memo.
report disturbances to your nearest psych-vend appliance.
suspected pregnancies can be filed
anonymously at the section dispensary.
there is no mistaking a deliberate mistake.
termination is entirely for your own safety.
if the newer complexities start to overwhelm, report to the freezer department.
be suspicious of 'regular sleepers'.
the radiologists will inform you when the corridors are accessible.
blackmarket foodstuffs are most likely contaminated, avoid!
group sedation periods of more than 12 days should be supervised.
prescriptions for tunnel sickness are dwindling, early diagnosis is essential.
the dispensaries are now closed indefinitely.
all survivors are advised to head for the surface.
the best of luck to you all.
