lyrics

oh what fun we had
when our minds were wide
the expectations
almost satisfied
but the honesty was creeping in
a powerful child
the collation of wisdom
cremated, into pride

in the dark room

the terrifying prospect
of death drove us wild
providing a sanity
a clarity
a style
it gave us a purpose
that i still cannot deny
now we’re all bound up, so tight

in the dark room

who cared about sleep?
who cared about right?
we’re just scratching the surface
of this precious human life
our impenetrable deafness
stubborn little smiles
cloaked the captive whale-like patterns
of a limited life

in the dark room

"Exciting times lay ahead for Johnny Powell and co."
(BBC Introducing)
