.​.​.​But The Band Still Played

from In Jest by Poison Fish

lyrics

Lose myself in enlightened dark
The room went quiet when the sound gave site
My skin went soft when my brain got bothered
And the crowd was sure that this was it

Alarms went loud and the crowds adhered
Mayhem fumes and smoke appeared
Art removed from public walls
Half past nothing But the band still played

No one listened but the drinks got drank
The singer won't publicly thank
Feelings fade almost despite
Real things never last all night

Sirens sound in a distant curse
My brain got bothered and the rest got worse
The room hit post-apocalyptic state
Half past nothing But the band still played

Bury my heart in an unmarked grave
I won't be bothered if I don't get saved
Drown my life in what makes me sane
Half past nothing But the band still played

Art removed from public walls
Safety enforced with fights in sport
Icebergs threw us to an early grave
Half past nothing But the band still played
