Being stuck in the twilight, stuck in a loop of thoughts; you played your cards, did you win or lose? Is success achievable or are you just fooling yourself?
lyrics
FOREVER & NEVER
Palm trees, desert winds
run for days on end.
Mosquito heat, thick and still
it’s sinking in, good times pretend.
Snake oil charms
a fever dream
I’m a chameleon.
Slow thoughts creep into the night
Duelling hearts, like throwing dice
lonely words, but some catch fire.
A growing moon, both tame and cruel
must be leaving soon.
Forever & Never...
Ride into the sunset
will i find a little love?
But then again, you never get what you’ll pay for.
Snake oil charms
a fever dream
Am I a comedian?
Slow thoughts creep into the night
Forever & Never...

to Australian music.
“The band clearly likes to tease and with terrific self-confidence in their undoubted abilities the approach does create a lively anxiousness within their music." - The Sydney Morning Herald...more
