Each day stays the same and yet each day gets worse and worse....
lyrics
Level with me now, when we will get out?
The uncertainty is perverting me
Into someone you don’t deserve to see
Undue, undone, inadvertently
Become lighthouse keeper to this urban sea
I find no enchantment behind the light
Why bind the commandment to the respite?
Your kind might be kind to living this way
But I’m blind to the givings of Groundhog Day
So level with me now, WHEN WILL WE GET OUT!?
Am I selfish to see this cage before me?!
I just can’t see past this rage
You think we all share the stage, sorry
We’re not on the same fading page
I’ll level with you now
Shut your filthy mouth!
You will not disavow
The anger and the doubt
They relish it somehow
They love a perfect crisis
The powerplay is priceless
D’you feel fulfilled and righteous
To suffer for your highness?!
Well do ya? Do ya really?.....yeah that’s what I thought
Am I selfish to see this cage before me?!
I just can’t see past this rage
The sick smell of salt and sage, floors me
And cold hearts bring the ice age
Oh yes. They do. Wouldn’t you agree?
Well I thought we all in this together
Through this perfect weather, oh well
Wear my clothes I’m better off cold and naked
Don’t shake the sacred, cow bell
Am I selfish to see this cage before me?!
I Just can’t see past this rage
Better than to just disengage poorly
Nostalgic for menial wage
So level with me now, when will we get out?!

Have to thank Adz 'Queenie' Bond for this, he started a project called the Pass The Parcel Collective where musicians collaborate on a song without input from one another. So for example, a drummer lays down a beat, who sends it to a bass players, who lays down some chords, who sends it to a guitarist, who lays down some riffs, who sends it to a vocalist, who adds some lyrics and vocals. It was one of these I was involved in that the original version of Level With Me Now came from. Which in turn inspired me to make a project of my own. So thank you Adam, for igniting the spark to make this xx
